Challenge Mode etiquite

[Lionheart]

just gotta make sure the people know about and read this. I can easily write guides for each challenge but i cant do the GIF maps for the stages. I may get started on it.

Hey, if you know a bit of HTML you could write it up into a guide and ask someone to submit it to the challenge section of the guides database. If not you could do it in word and ask a staff member to write it up in HTML for you and submit it under your name. Ace work by the way, keep it up .

[Lionheart]

oh submitting guides was never the issue, you or one of the mods could easily place it in the Cmode section if i post a guide anywhere so thats not a problem. Ill probably refresh myself with EP1 cmode (as i havent played thru it since the end of summer).

Episode 2 c-mode is fine too .

[Lionheart]

yeah ive got an expert guide for ep2 C3 but the others i need to play more.

Could anyone tell me how to say "I am american"? I can't for the life of me remember what it is -_-UU. I think it's a bit better if you tell them you're an english speaking player outright, and probably a little more respectable if you tell them it in their own language showing them you made the attempt

watashi wa amerikaajin desu

Might be better to use boku instead of watashi if you are male. For English igirisuujin.

Not sure on the spellings of the countries....

[Lionheart]

yeah and "eigo ga dekimasu ka?" is "do you speak english?", most do to a degree (i was recently complimented by a JP player on my Japanese, yay! )
ive been trying to learn more and more (anime teaches A LOT lol).

[Duo]

I think the person appreciated i at least tried to learn japanese. I have those two set as a preset for before a match, so they know.

Whilst this guide is very good for the general rules/etiquette of cmode, I think your character choices are way off.

Droids are the most useful class for cmode for both HU and RA for the simple fact that they have traps. Traps are the most useful tools for cmode (apart from on bosses obviously).

RAcast and RAcaseal are the best choice amongst the RAs because of the obvious advantage of traps over the weak techs that the human RAs can use. RAcast has the highest HP of the Ranger class, so bosses are easier on mates than as any of the other RAs. You mention RAcaseal not having any particularly good stats, when that is not the case. RAcaseals are useful for their ability to take physical attacks better than any of the other RAs (they have the highest DFP).

HUcast and HUcaseal are far more useful for Cmode than a HUmar due to their aforementioned trap vision and ability to use traps. The reason the HUcast is the most commonly used cmode class is because they are the most effective! (highest HP and ATP). It is better for a newbie to cmode to use the most powerful characters as they will have less blows to land before the enemy snuffs it. Any Hunter requires skills to be learnt to play them properly. The most important thing for people to learn is to only do 2 hit combos on most of the enemies (apart from in Mines). This allows people who aren't familiar with attack delaying to solo an enemy without getting hit too often.

If you head over to Alcyone 6 (the main Japanese challenge block) you will see that their is a droid majority. This is because most of the people there are TAers (time attackers) and the fastest way through cmode is with droids and a FO of some kind.
