Merry Christmas to all the millions of Forde enjoyers, and also merry Christmas to the one Forde hater in the world (luv u Mekkah). This was such a fun run!
In an ironman I did, that same druid at Grado Keep did the same thing to my unpromoted Natasha and berserked her. Nothing I could do to stop her running away (with my restore staff) into the arms of the enemies. This is the only other time I've seen a healer get berserked. Only things I did to the ROM was boost enemy growths and give some enemies better weapons with the Yune randomizer. This was a fun race to watch!
Noooooooooo, I actually had the time to watch it today, and Raisins fumbled the race! It's ok, though Raisins, I know you did it to fuel Mekkah's propaganda/not ruin his Xmas. Rest in power, King! Pretty entertaining, nevertheless. Highlights imo. Mekkah got the best Kyle level ups I've ever seen. Bro really got to hoard his boosters! Raisins got the most STR and speed screwed Forde I've ever seen until rather late in the game. Like 10 speed locked for what, 4 maps? Raisins ignoring his Duessel acquisition. Raisins ignoring his Energy Ring acquistions(twice, technically!). Neither racer actually prioritized their cavs in the mid/late game? It became a Myrrh fiesta. Which I mean, I like Godzilla Girl too, but it was less a race with the cavs and more a race with Mekkah having a Warp staff and Raisins not having a Warp staff where Myrrh did all the work, and the cavs got fed Christmas Cav Dinner (Roast Fomortiis with a nice Cianti and some Grado Beans Feh-Feh-Feh-Feh!). On an actually semi-serious note: I also think there's something to be said for the doing of different routes. Y'all shoulda done same route. As it stands, it turns out without an EXP'd flier, there's no real advantage to the Ephraim route, like, at all. Meanwhile, Eirika route basically let Mekkah airdrop Kyle/Eirika places with base fliers with closer objectives for flier rescue drops and such. Also, even though Raisins quipped that Ephraim route had better starting position in Scorched Sands, I don't really see that as being the case? Eirika's start there has a more easily defended position, and it's also easier to move a thief to the warp staff along that route. Raisins just kinda bunga'd in there, no thief, no rogue, and couldn't reliably obtain desert items, which imo, was a bigger gain on Mekkah's end than anything else in the run. Mekkah got easier Rennac acquisition to boot, so he had two Desert Gatherers to use. So all in all, this proved nothing about Kyle vs. Forde! You lose! Good day sir! ( :P Race me in Christmas in July Mekkah, I'm sure I could fumble even harder than Raisins since I'm less good at Fire Emblem! ) Real talk though - Merry Christmas Mekkah and Raisins!!! Thanks for the delightful content that I can watch while I work yet another Christmas (10 hour shift today, 16 hour if my relief calls out last minute :^) damn). Love y'all both!
Yeah the whole Ephraim route choice was me remembering something that dondon said a little while ago but then when I looked back yeah you need a trained flier.
Who are your favorite Christmas Cavs? Also I'm pretty sure they're a Mario and Luigi reference lol Mine are Cain, Lukas*, Noish, Alan, Kent, Kyle, Both for Tellius, Neither for awakening, Saizo* and idk yet for Engage* *: No idea if the soldier duo, ninja duo and engage twins count. I always use Cain (Swordmaster reclass for remakes) in every Archanea game and his death quote is simple yet very poignant. No idea if FE3 cavs count, but Roderick does in fact, rule. Speed Ring Lukas in FE2 is one of the most funniest memes in existence which is why I'm sad Echoes nerfed so much Charge is my favorite FE skill (which is why im sad they never brought them back, come to think of it all the kaga era skills slowly start disappearing) so Noish > Alec, especially once brave weapons and/or pursuit ring are online Kain and Alba are playable generics and that's hilarious because it pretty much incentivizes you to customize them with skills since they're so...blank state looking? I've never had a good Lance and all my Alan's have good enough speed anyway. Kent has a better personality than Sain Kyle doesn't have noodle arms Oscar and Kieran are so much fun to use in FE9 Haven't played awakening enough to gauge between Sully and Stahl S/O to Saizo threatening to RQ and blow everyone up Framme is a member of the hat gang and can chain guard (I think there's a ring that recovers HP per turn) while Clanne has oddly high STR iirc?
they definitely are a mario and luigi reference, since fe emblem is a nintendo ip and mario is the face of nintendo. but christmas cavs is an alliteration, so it has a nicer ring to it than mario cavs, or whatever
Yo That's incorrect AF 44:20 there's an alternative way to recruit the dancer and the mercenary without using one to recruit the other. for example for the dancer you can use her brother to speak with her and you can recruit her that way. you can use the purple haired sword fighter to recruit your mercenary and both of these are alternatives
@@Mekkkah 😅 actually I apologize I was referring to the purple haired lady recruiting the green man mercenary fighter because he is her leader the one with the scar on face. And you're completely right I forgot because I only played the other route 😕
Seeing how nice Raisins can be to Forde makes how he treats Boucheron so much more funny
Boucheron SUX
Well if Boucheron was a good unit, like Forde, maybe Raisins would love him too. But he's not a good unit.
Merry Christmas to all the millions of Forde enjoyers, and also merry Christmas to the one Forde hater in the world (luv u Mekkah). This was such a fun run!
I'm not finished yet, but I just have to stop for a second, I ADORE how confident Raisin is for Forde, I just can't help but cheer for him 😭🤣
Based and Fordepilled

Disappointed not to hear Raisins excitedly say, "The Crimson Forde!" anytime he crits 😂
Raisins, my beloved. I BELIEVE IN YOU, YOU MADMAN!
Nice. Yesterday I finally finished my first time playiing the game and it took me 52 hours xD
Damn that seth poison 1hp enemy phase on ch6 was SCAREY
What a Christmas Special! Such a close race! Thank you & Merry Christmas Mekkah & Raisins!
I Love how hyped Raisins is😂
What a great Christmas present. Merry Christmas everyone!

@@OriginalRaisins You still did great king, though some of those plays were BALLS OUT risky. You won in my heart.
Merry Christmas everyone, this video will be interesting to watch
Let's go! Merry Christmas Cavs!
Merry Christmas everyone🎄
GlitchxCity - now thats a name i havent heared in a long time. It seems like ages since i listended to his PMD2 remixes. Good memorys
I think it’s a her actually but I could be wrong there 😅
@@zackschofield4240 Eh, who gives a shit if the content is good
I dont care about Mekkah win the race... I will always.... Paladin Forde > Paladin Kyle
Great video guys (:
i can't believe forde was one boss off from beating the demon king
Mekkah too close! Too close! Forde showing his fatal flaw of being just not good enough though lol
The split-screen layout had me wondering: would it be possible to beat both Sacred Stones routes simultaneously with the same player inputs?
Probably. There’s a lot of ways to eat inputs in fire emblem, and it’s turn based
All you would need to do is to desynchronize the player and enemy turns so that one game makes its moves during the other routes' enemy turn
1:48:32 big send hahaha
Hey Mekkah, maybe it's just me but this video seems to be stuffed with ads. Just a heads up because I know You Tube sometimes do things like these...

Kent has a better personality than Sain
Kyle doesn't have noodle arms
Oscar and Kieran are so much fun to use in FE9
Haven't played awakening enough to gauge between Sully and Stahl
S/O to Saizo threatening to RQ and blow everyone up

Merry Christmas! Very casual FE enjoyer here. Why promote them at 16 and not get the stats from those 4 levels to 20 first?
You can't aforde to lose.
Without the support help, Forde stands 0 chance. He's still better than Franz 😏

You can't use Ewan to recruit Marisa in Eirika's route since he hasn't joined yet. You can use Tana to get Innes ofc.
@@Mekkkah 😅 actually I apologize I was referring to the purple haired lady recruiting the green man mercenary fighter because he is her leader the one with the scar on face. And you're completely right I forgot because I only played the other route 😕
Kent vs Sain next? (Sain wins)
