Challenge Mode etiquite

[Hrith]

My best time is 3'44 with my HUcast, but on Dreamcast which was a lot more difficult than NGC.

And I have always played with JP players (Miranda 11 on DC, Alcyone 06 on NGC) and I now know why they resent "E" players so much, because of arrogant western players who know so little about the game.

Bring a HUnewearl/RAmar/RAmarl to C-mode TA team and I can assure you people will shun you.
Hit the same monster that another player is hitting in a TA team, and I can assure you players will shun you, or even d/c during the game, especially if you are a Ranger.

So few people know of damage cancel, and I do think it is the main reason why so many JP players avoid us.

4 FOs for Ep1C2 ? that is true, but I got an excellent time with a 3HU/1FO team, I think it was 19 minutes, but my DC is in France, and I cannot check for sure.
But you would need to get an excellent map (which includes lotsa fluids) and 4 excellent players, then yeah 4 FO might do an excellent job since they can take out monsters the fastest in c2/c3/c4 (except boss).

And one more thing, it is a lot more difficult to find a good FO for C-mode than a good HU/RA, I'd rather take the odds at finding a weapon with excellent % or special instead, especially on NGC, where they are so common and useful.

But I do insist that newbies are way better off with a HUcaseal or a RAcast, by far the 2 easiest chars to take thru C-mode, Ep1 and 2 alike.
