Is it just me, or have the most fun/entertaining characters primarily been Rider-class?
Just off the top of my head, you've got Best Girl Medusa, Iskander the King of Bros, Quetzo Lucha Libre, Martha's new animation is definitely fun. And that isn't even factoring in the Servants who cross over for various reasons like Kintoki and Santa Alter and Surfer Mordred.
I dunno, it just seems like the Riders have the most fun.

Also, I finally watched the last episode of Cooking with Emiya Family.
THEY MADE BERSERKER COOKIES FOR BERSERKER :3:

B.B. certainly disagrees with you and (forcefully) insists that you'll find that Moon Cancer is indeed the most fun class. Or else.


On a more serious note, no matter how much you might like her, Medusa is in no way fun/entertaining - she's a fairly serious character, and not in a humorous sense. And there are certainly cases to be made for other classes (like hanging out with the all the Irish heroes over in Lancer class), so it all comes down to where the greatest concentration of one's personal preferences is..

Hell, I think Archer was the one person who didn't show up at all in CWEF. Well, him and Kirei.

In addition to the episode already mentioned he played a totally normal and not at all murderous game of volleyball against Shirou and Saber.

I think people dont like sameface jokes cause an artist got harrassed already from the fanbase but IDK

Harrasment is putting it lightly. They went so far as to include his dead parent in their insanity, there were a few actual threats, and they completely drove him off of at least Twitter, if not all of his social media accounts.

Endorph posted:

plus as 'sameface' gets memefied its stops really meaning anything, like people accused the new lancer of being a 'trace' of jalter's shinjuku costume even though the angle and pose are entirely different. people just say it because they see that the artist made something that looks similar and they heard the tracing/sameface meme once
To be fair Takeuchi does seem to have a library of stock poses/angles to consult for illustrations. Every now and then he adds a new pose/angle and uses it in a couple illustrations in (semi-)close succession and people cry foul because they're poo poo but tbqh that poo poo is hard so more power to him.

I wonder what servants have appeared least across both main story quests and events. Medium-sized Medusa hasn't appeared in the main story at all, has she? I know she's a regular in events though.

It might actually be normal Arturia? I don't think she was in anything other than the Fate Zero event, since she's only shown up in the main story as an Alter or Lancer. Even Eric had a bigger part in the story.

“A horse”. That’s the Pegasus that was born from the blood from her neck after Perseus cut her head off with Harpe.

Though she has it well before dying in her Fate Hollow flashbacks... Her sisters love to fly it for their own enjoyment and also tire it out so Medusa can’t fly off for most of the day and ignore her chores and their teasing.

Parvarti to this date has only appeared in on valentine solo scenes and she's been available for over a year at this point.

Arturia's in a couple of Bedivere's flashbacks in Camelot. It isn't much but I'd say that's more significant than Eric popping out of the woods to die in one buster attack.

Pegasus is technically Medusa's son. I guess if you're Pegasus's mom you'd need sufficiently high Riding skill to ride him, as the skill ranks are less about how well you can ride and more about what you can ride. Any magical beast is basically impossible to ride with rank A or lower. This is why Astolfo also has A+ (or he couldn't ride his hippogryph), and why Martha has A++ (because she can ride a dragon, which is normally not allowed).

Curiously enough, Marie explicitly has Riding A+, meaning she can ride any non-dragon animal by asking it nicely. Further cementing that she is, in fact, a Disney princess. Yes, Marie loving Antoinette is capable of riding more things than King Arthur, Karna, and Brynhildr.

Red Hare (Riding EX) is also specifically noted as having the ability to ride any horse, which is kind of pointless considering he is a horse (something his profile apparently acknowledges).

That's odd, I thought "EX" was supposed to be the ranking for "Doing stuff you normally can't do" by definition. Is it because Martha's only 'breaking the rules' in a single spot instead of all over like some EX rank people do?

I'd say that's a good guess. Probably based off of what Tarrasque is officially classified as.

Its more case of people competing to see who can make the most snide comments given the Twitter culture of needing to comment/bandwagon on everything no matter how inane. Like in the case of the artist, people said 'congratulations' when he said he had to deal with his parent's funeral.

EX is more like the chart going "yeaaaaaaaaaaaah I don't know what the gently caress anymore, but I gotta say something."

And yeah, plusses are usually situational bonuses.

Ditto minuses, but in reverse.

I'd say Martha has a lore bypass given her myth of taming Tarrasque. So it's not out of nowhere.

It was mostly a joke, I figured the other poster was trying to do an insinuation they probably actually weren't upon rereading.

I know the myth, she's my favourite character alongside Jalter and Nightingale.

Medusa is not the monster of those stories. Heck, her paths in FSN and UBW are just more tragic BS to befall her due to abusive people. Can't wait for HF2 to come out. Maybe spoilers for HF1 if you haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDfIxo9kVpo
