Re: The merits of treating robotics tourneys like a game of Fire Emblem

You had me at Fire Emblem, but at the end of the day does this system help your teams alliance selection representative when they're out on the field with a thousand people staring at them? For me, scouting is making a list of what robots pair up best with you, and what robots pair up best with your opponents. Of course things like consistency(especially for this year), driver skill, and breaking often or not breaking often are also extremely important. This system seems like a glorified version of the event ranking system with fun facts about each robot added in.

And by the way, Robin's weapons depend on what stat bonus you give him/her at the beginning of the game, and what class he/she is. As a grandmaster magic might be better, but as a dread fighter, swords and axes ftw.

I wish I had time to play fire emblem again...
