@@TechnoFall42 That moment when even the real Prince Shannan is believed to just be an impersonator 'cause there are so many and he can just technically waltz around as a mercenary is really funny to me.
Giving a guy, who is so bad at getting laid that he has to con people with a fake identity, a FUCC of 0 is the most brilliant gameplay/story integration in gaming history. Kaga is truly a genius.
Yeah and Saias has A rank in fire, thunder and wind magic. Probably based on fe4 high priest, but he ends up not having these ranks because of his class
I was the voting jubilee. Another funny result from that pole was that for the most graceful dancing duet 33rd place was pre time skip sylvain and post time skip sylvain
I love the fact that while he's a complete scam, he is simultaneously the only character with the bargain skill, *and* manages to bullshit so hard he teaches someone legendary sword technique. One he *physically* can't even know because he lacks the specific line of holy blood to use it Man has no idea what he's doing and yet manages to have two different uses that are completely exclusive to him. What a fucking legend
Honestly, the most legendary thing about him is actually dodging astra with his low stats. Even tho the attack wasn't meant to hit him, one would expect it to by accident, lol.
Shanon reminds me of Fantastic from Fallout New Vegas. Dude was asked if he had degree in theoretical physics. He answered that he has theoretical degree in physics, and got lead engineer position on solar energy station despite not having knowledge how anything there works.
There's also that dude in Dead Mount Death Play that managed to became the most influential character in the story despite having barely any idea what's actually going on. Just by guessing correctly most of the time.
Kaga was a master of story-gameplay interaction. He never really left balance get into the way in telling a good story, and the units are very unbalanced BECAUSE IT MAKE SENSE INTO THE STORY. And honestly ? It make all of it way more memorable than if everyone was roughly as good as each other. Many games, such as FE awakening, suffered by making mostly everyone "good enough" and in the end no one really get to shine, either by being super good or super crappy.
I haven't even played FE5 but Shannam is still one of, if not my absolute most wanted character to get into Heroes. I don't know what would be funnier, him being a Merlinus level shitpost unit with stats lower than the average launch unit, or him being a meta-breaking, F!Edelgard slaying, whale-bankrupting BEAST that centers the entire game around himself. I just want him in, I don't care how, they added Brigand Boss, shitposting sells!
The bad imitation feel of Shannam even extends to his growths. His strength growth is massive 50%, significantly more than the man he’s larping as, but his skill? A growth that get’s a colossal 60% bonus, from major Od blood? *5%.* Despite this absurdity, he’s probably still better than Miranda, solely because of Bargain.
He is, unironically, my favorite guy from Thracia and I'm so happy he got his own thing because, yep, he makes me crack up. Plus he teaches Astra from the power of bullshit! Perne is a close second, it's always nice to have bastards on your army!
Shannam starts as a Swordmaster because if he actually started as a bard he would be good. At least I think he becomes a Bard in his ending; it's been a while
If he was in 3 Houses, he would have a crazy high Charm stat, though. Damn. That would have been amazing. A unit that is crazy good at exploiting the Gambit system and exactly nothing else.
The issue with that is that people would just meme him to the top in that game. There is no such thing as unworkably inefficiant in TH. One could put Amelia in it and people would still somehow make her work on sub-maddening difficulties.
@@lpfan4491If a character had 0 in every stat and growth but had the access to the best skills/combat arts in the game they probably still wouldn't be the worst unit due to how classes automatically bring your base stats to a certain level. A base level Wyvern Lord for example has 24 speed.
Just imagining Shannam gets into FEH, and his sword just says *pathetic* and does less than a Dagger, *Or* if his Atk/Spd/Def/Res is lower than the opponent, plus 5 to all stats, and they stack per sucky Stat, making it possible for him to be absolutely metabreaking, but it also prevents him from using attack skills, for obvious reasons.
Now that you mention it, I did a FEH theorycraft of him years ago... I think I gave him Gen 1 BST and a Prf B skill that has built-in Duel which also doubles rewards from competitive game modes like Arena if he survived the entire time.
Most devs think "what would be balanced" thats the worst mentality to have, specially for a single player game. The best mentality is "what would be interesting".
now that I think about it Wasn't Forde also someone who's canonically way stronger & more skilled than other fighters, but since his mom didn't care about his Arena wins he focused on Painting instead? Doesn't stop his stats from making me cry but god I love forde
The funny part is that his brother Franz has better base attack in the japanese version...at a lower level. Honestly, this is the one time I sorta call bs on the lore, because that's incredibly sad, even with him barely bothering as a fighter. Dude's combat potential basically looks like he's a Shanam-like scam on a horse(With his better raw performance coming from joining in the early game of a less rough game), yet he appearently is so far ahead of everyone that it needs special mention.
@@lpfan4491 Yeah, maybe. Weird thing is I love Forde, I'd love to use him, but he's just... so mediocre. Not even as funny as, like, Amelia, just bad enough to make me sad
@@KazanmaTheSilverWind Forde is way funnier than Amelia. I personally enjoy getting Forde to level 15 in ch. 5x of FE8, on the rare occasion I actually play Sacred Stones.
He starts on a horse and at earliest, she still joins after him. Absolutely no contest, that the tutorial-portion has boosted EXP-gains he can at least partially benefit from makes this comparison even more one-sided. The only trainee that is actually sorta good is Ross and even then, he takes more investment than the average unit.
Forde can legit reach level 15 in chapter 5x if you play your cards right. Makes a hilarious unit, especially if he gets blessed. Can turn out better than Seth sometimes.

Shannam bullshitting his way to teach astra to Mareeta is top 3 FE moments material, I love this walking silver card and I hope he gets in FEH someday
Wait... Shannan isn't in feh???
@@pont1695 Unfortunately, no. Just his cheap copy.

Knows what sex is
Never fucks
The man has no FUCC. Big sad.
He tries to swing the stick everywhere, but can't ever get a crit...
Bravo Kaga
Y'know what's even funnier about Shannam's stats? They're just the swordmaster class bases (minus the +1 luck he has)
Man's really close to being a generic.

@@damaskoslocker2865 yep that's true too
@@damaskoslocker2865 Saias should’ve had S-rank Fire as a reference to how he can wield Valflame due to being Arvis’s first-born child.
@@paperluigi6132 I'm almost sure there is no S Rank in Thracia
Don’t forget Shannam can also (somehow) teach Mareeta astra in a hilarious conversation
"I have no idea of what I'm talking about"
What got me was his shock at Mareeta not only believing it, but learning it PERFECTLY just like that
I remember how this guy was voted 10th best teacher in fire emblem.
Wait what! What poll was that Lmao
not everyone can bullshit their way into teaching someone astra you know

except for Astram... strongest man in Archanea by butt, Mercurius is carrying you and Marth is better than you
@@freetoplayking7362 that more in fe12 because the stats caps being above 20

I would actually laugh my ass off if he was a meta-breaking unit lol
His power is that you get SP when you kill with him, and sending him away gives twice as many feathers. What a bargain!

The best part of Shannam is how he bulshits his way to teach Mareeta Adept. That is the best scene in the game.
It's even better than that, he teaches her Astra (5 consecutive attacks), by telling her to "believe in herself"
@@InfinityMinamimoto It was astra? Yeah, I remember the non existing lesson and the yell. It was a blast. XD

2:20 And this is why Kaga is superior

Shannam: story telling through gameplay personified
Holy shit, I love him, he just fucking sucks…I love it
I usually just scroll abuse him and miranda in the next chapter right after dalshin bait all ballistas.
Most devs think "what would be balanced" thats the worst mentality to have, specially for a single player game. The best mentality is "what would be interesting".

You could call this ludonarrative harmony.
You say things as they are, naming a FUCC, instantly subscibed to man speaking truth
is shannam a fake shannan or is shannan a real shannam
Damn you're asking the real questions
Let’s be fair here, stats in Thracia cap at 20, so Shannam is nearly halfway to the speed cap.
This guy is finally getting the fame he deserves
This is the first time I'm hearing about Shannam and I love him
Shannam good.
Better call Shannam
How does a joke character look so badass tho🤔
Cause he's imitating Shannan, a real badass
Because he tries to be both an absolute unit and a knock-off of someone you get earlier
We shall never know
Jeanne or... actually I can't remember the other one RN
this video has the most views... in only a week to! Congrats!
0:46 when I think of unit like that I think Gonzalez
In one route he IS good in the other he is bad
1:30 except the 12 people that like using subs (one of them is me)
looks like your follow up statement also has a negative critical based off of that ending.
song at the end?
thank you!
Eyy my pfp!
What game is that ar 2:12
Hold on, that looks like Shiva, the guy you get in chapter 7 and comes with Sol. Why are the portraits so similar?
not pronouncing shannam like Shannon is insanity
nvm u pronounced elon like ellen i suddenly dont care about ur pronunciations anymore
Galzus Character Review PLS
a walking silver card that is funny.
HOW I THE HOLY HELL DO YOU THINK FORDE IS A BETTER UNIT THAN AMELIA?
Because he is.
He starts on a horse and at earliest, she still joins after him. Absolutely no contest, that the tutorial-portion has boosted EXP-gains he can at least partially benefit from makes this comparison even more one-sided. The only trainee that is actually sorta good is Ross and even then, he takes more investment than the average unit.
Because Amelia is better as a general of course, that Garm won't wield itself
Forde can legit reach level 15 in chapter 5x if you play your cards right. Makes a hilarious unit, especially if he gets blessed. Can turn out better than Seth sometimes.
@@rosheafan Highly unlikely, because Seth himself can get pretty close to level 20 during that part of the game.
