Enjoying the game is a pitfall
Preach!
That intro was perfect, I’m glad pitfalls are back
100 % this.
Calling pitfalls pitfalls is a pitfall.

There's one thing consistent about pitfalls.
They're all full of Setsuna.
And Jakob, that one time.
And covered of Leifs
But never Robin
I'm so happy pitfalls are back!
I'm a big fan, Mekkkah. Could you make a video series with specific tips, maneuvers, and strategies? Like, how to optimally handle choke points, inventory assignments, and rescue chains? I'd watch the shit out of that.
Guess who's back
Back Again
Mekkah's back
Use Jeigans

Dear mekkkah, I hope you will read this, before knowing you and Mangs I sometimes, casually play Fe, my favourite game is sacred stones, since is my first game of the franchise and I have a lot of great memories, I used to play it very casually, a lot of grinding, arena abuse and stuff like that, about three years ago I managed to finish the game in hard mode, needless to say I play whit a lot of pitfall, but than thanks to your videos I replay one more time few months ago trying to avoid all the pitfalls I can, and I had to admit that I had a lot of fun, I finally feel like I was playing the game as it should be.
So in the end I really appreciate your help and work, and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You amaze me Mekkkah, but without the quote on quote!!
Keep it up!
Mekkah, I used to suck at fire emblem. Then, I saw your pitfalls series and I got a ton better, but I found myself not enjoying the game as much as I left my favorite characters behind for optimizations sake. Now, even later, I'm playing like a pro and enjoying myself because of your videos, and your insistence on using units you like more than units that are 'the best'. I can't thank you enough.
Saying "First" is a Pitfall
First
You just said it
But what if I enjoy saying “First”?
Haha
After that intro, I can now say without a doubt that you have a perfect understanding of your fanbase
I think I'd sum up pitfalls with the sentence "Please stop being wrong on the internet, guys."
... but then people started being wrong about pitfalls, and now here we are.
This should just be a video about the Tellius bridge maps
I actually opened it hoping that would be the topic.
Excluding on screen text of the word “pitfall” such as the intro. You said the word “pitfall” a total of 56 times.
Well I don't know about you, but I would certainly die if I did 56 shots in 12 minutes
Counting the number of pitfalls thinking it had a purpose is a PITFALL
@@tpotshax8703 i think id have to pour out 56 shots beforehand to even keep up
It's a sad thing that this Mardek stopped being developed. The airport interactions were my fave.
The sole developer has gone into and out of some really rough times; I'd recommend looking him up, he may be working on stuff that could use support
Panada TERRORIST!
Mardek was an awesome series.
nah, it hasn't stopped being developed

Playing fire emblem is a pitfall.

Chan chan chan...! I've never spected that the history would have a Plot Twist like PITFALLS
Did you mix up the 7 deadly sins and the 10 commandments?
It's been ｔｈｒｅｅｔｈｏｕｓａｎｄ years
The most real pitfall: thinking anybody cares how you play a single player RNG dependent game. There's no prize for beating any of the games other than what you get out of it. Just enjoy FE, it's really not that difficult of a series.
@BitterOrange good is a modifier implemented by others, just play

It's funny that people think pitfalls are noob traps - I never seen 1st timers f.e. totally avoiding Jeigans, they typically try to use mostly low level units but throw pre-promotes into the fray when weaker units are in minimal risks, optimizing EXP gains by using weakest units that get more exp is something mostly done by people in between noob and veteran, not noob enough to appreciate safety pre-promotes offer, but not veteran enough for their tactical skills allowing not to worry about optimizing exp gains and getting best stats possible.
I'm amazing at Fire Emblem because I use Rebecca. I just need the handicap because I'm too good otherwise.
I've been following Pseudolonewolf/Tobias Cornwall for years. Making MARDEK 3 took quite a toll on him, so I think he's reluctant in creating a sequel. He also had to remove a brain tumor the last few months, so I'm hoping he's ok. He's also been making a new game called Sindrel Song and is music game. I'm looking forward to it even if it isn't an RPG since I like his games in general. He blogs at the website Tamingmind if you want to read what he is up to.
So basically, "You have become the very thing you swore to destroy."
Not watching pitfalls is a pitfall
Falling into Tellius pitfalls is quite literally a pitfall.
It's surprising to see Mardek in here, I've never seen any TH-camr ever talk about those games, even though they're excellent. Shame that it is discontinued, though I'm unsure whether Pseudolonewolf is still working on his reimagination of the series, but I do not see that becoming as good as the classic Mardek.
Maybe you wanna play it on the channel? I'd love that.
I he let's plays the series
it isn't discontinued
The Mekkah Commandments have finally reached part 10! Woot!
Remember you can only use one Pegasus Knight.
Mekkah; I love Mardek RPG and would HIGHLY enjoy seeing an LP of it by either you or Mbangs!
Also I really appreciate the meta nature of this episode 💙
big ups for the Mardek soundtrack
but Mekkah, won't using jagens hurt your exp rating in an S rank ??? hmmmm.
Checkmate atheists.
God I should really replay MARDEK someday.
Mardek is actually awesome and deserves more praise.
2:54 moving units in an overcomplicated pattern is a pitfall
Mostly on Cav whit canto
I dont watch mekkah, but I just wanted to say my brother took a shot every time he heard "pitfall" on this video and now he's dead. Im very upset.
"Take a shot everytime Mekkah says Pitfall."
*10 seconds in* Yes 911 my liver has died.
All hail Mekkkah, another Pitfalls video
WOO Another fan of the MARDEK games
The "Pitfall" and "objectively wrong" memes are some of my favorites in the Fire Emblem community. I don't know why, they just are.
Taking a shot every time he says pitfall and dying is a pitfall
best intro
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video!
These pitfalls are the ones that people should avoid the most. The "mistake=pitfall" meme was fun, but it overstated it's welcome and became sort of an annoyance.
So really, thank you so much for this Mekkah! 😁
Mekkah is getting better at editing. That intro was Mangs-level. Ok, maybe not as much, but it was still pretty good.
How many pitfalls do you remember falling for?
That point you make about old players giving new ones pitfalls they wouldn't normally stumble into and not using jeigans as an example of that actually reminds me...when I first played FE, I didn't use jeigan characters or early prepromotes because the person who introduced me to it advised against it. And apparently in another video I remember you saying it was the same for you. Makes me wonder how much of the people that fell into that specific pitfall did so because someone else said so. And hence continued a cycle..
I had it well, since the person who recommended Fire Emblem to me mentioned something about on the harder difficulty of one of the games you basically have to use the Jaegen even though he sucks lategame and you need to bench him, just so you can even reach lategame.
@dD ShockTrooper funnily enough what made me realize that Jeigans are useful was my first time playing FE6 HM. I first tried going through the first chapter without using Marcus and found it to be very difficult, so I found out the natural, albeit hard(pun intended) way of his usefulness. Retried the chapter using Marcus and I realized the true power of Jeigans by myself.
I didn’t think I’d live to see another episode of pitfalls. The intro was basically how I felt when it popped up in my notifications
Nice April Fool's joke.
Wait...
Pitfalls remastered when?
A huge fe7 pitfall is thinking Farina isn't worth the 20k golds
existing is a pitfall
I like the approach you took on this video. The intro, the explanations, the clarifications, good job mekkah
Good job Mekkaiah.
@@tinchosabala dude! You totally spelled it wrong! It's meqqqah
God Job Meqqqaiah
Watching youtube on April 1 is a Pitfall
Why Pitfalls are not Commandments in General
The only pits I want to fall are Mia's
The one pitfall I have the most trouble with is hoarding but you have helped me break this habit. I never thought about how a personal weapon will have around 30 uses and tend to have 18 by the end of the game so I became a better because when playing hector hard mode I found false friends impossible because I refused to used hector. I’ve had more help from not hoarding than hoarding so thanks.
Hoarding is also a problem I broke in a few other games so Fire Emblem pitfalls can help more than just Fire Emblem players.
I never thought Prepremotes were bad because I thought okay I good starting stats decent growth not fantastic but eh and no need for promotion item. I have a habit of using Marcus the whole game. When I started I thought good bases= good growths but now I know bases>growths.
Mekkkah you are probably the main reason I don’t suck at Fe in Mang’s lp you explained the proper way to use a dancer optimally and thank you for that because you saved me so much pain.
We all know Mekkkah you fall into your own pitfalls just watch a few of your lps. Almost forgot I started using serenes forest now because the fe wiki sucked so badly as shown by you.
I know this is redundant at this point but thanks and keep making videos explaining how to not end up making Hector hard Mode not like Hector you hate yourself mode. Have great day
The real pitfall is playing Fire Emblem
_Mekkkah uploads a pitfall video_
Everyone:YESSSSSSS
did christmas come early this year? I'm so happy we have another pitfalls video Mekkkah!
That intro is exactly how I feel about pitfalls coming backThanks for making these Mekkkah. I'm already looking forward to the next video whenever it comes out even if it takes another 3000 years...
Fire Emblem Pitfalls 10 - "Stop misquoting me, dang it"
Today is a trully blessed Day, Pitfall X descend in the earth to make us,subs happy :)
I just wanna say that as someone who's been playing FE for sixteen years now, this series still helped me immensely in thinking more critically about why I do things/give advice in the way I do. I still disagree on some points (hoarding, I see it more as risk of not having it for later/reward having it later) but it still made me sit & think about why I do the things I do. Thanks, Mekkah!
I got an idea for a pitfall vid.
Thinking you HAVE to make perfect pairings in order to beat the second generation of FE4.
While true, shipping gen 1 units in specific can give you more amazing units, your strongest unit in gen 2 is going to be Seliph anyways as long as you gave Sigurd a Leg Ring.
How does Mekkah not have more subs?
I remember when I started playing fire emblem, my friend who already played shadow dragon gave me some „advice“.
He said to NEVER use Jeigans because they steal exp and have bad growths. He told me to sacrifice Jeigan at the end of shadow dragons tutorial because he wasnt good in the lategame anyway. And he told me to always promote at lvl20. If I wanted my units to be good.
I played FE7 and stumbled right into all of these pitfalls. Looking back, I can laugh about all of these things. Getting good at FE and learning about pitfalls was really fun.
Thank you *SO MUCH* for making this video, Mekkah. Now I feel like using Swordmaster Odin because I like how he plays is finally becoming even a little more socially acceptable. (Also because he shreds up the Arena.) I'm aware that he may not be the best unit out there. But I don't care, since I like using him, especially because his personality is always entertaining.
Is using knights a pitfall if you get hard everytime you see the "no damage" sign?
Use Haar. He flies over pitfalls.
Making pitfall videos is a pitfall
I fell for it
I really like this episode of pitfalls and clearing up the misconceptions of what pitfalls are and the overusage of pitfall as a bad play. I feel like the fire emblem community is prime to elitism with its tactical RPG style, and emphasis on playing effeciently, and can sometimes forgets to enjoy or explore the game. It can be easy as a veteran to learn to optimize the way you play a game and want to teach others these optimizations, but its just as important for someone to gain this experience on their own and learn from their mistakes. That's where i really enjoy your dynamic with Mangs in his Lets Plays and your blind playthrough of conquest. I think Mangs manages (more or less) fine in his playthroughs and shows that you can do sub optimal things, enjoy the game and still manage to beat the game.
the closest comparison i could think of is playing through Pokemon multiple times. Would you play the game if you could only do speedrun strats and use the pokemon speedruns do? Legendaries have the best stat total so why not only use them? you only won cause you used X-items, that means your not good at the game and should train more? The freedom of the game is the most beautiful part and should be explored by everyone to each their own. There are learning moments that can probably only come from others, but its how these moments are taught that give off the impression of the community and can build or break it.
This video about pitfalls being pitfalls is the ultimate pitfall
The intro is god tier.
Calling bad play a "pitfall" is wrong, checkmate Valko!
This comment is a pitfall.
it is a good thing, that you cleared up what pitfalls means mekkkah, even if someone misunderstands what pitfalls is, atleast you or someone else can show this video.
yes! there is no bad ways of playing FE if you complete the game and have fun doing so! now… there are better or optimal ways to play FE, and prety much every game it exists xD
I made Amelia a General because she is Bad in general. She ended up being my best unit in the game :P
In the same run, Franz ended up being absolute garbage. Not because I neglected him. But because he was royally Luck screwed. He was basically like Arthur from Fates, everything could crit him. And then it happened on turn 1 in chapter 15 on player phase. RIP.
"If you want to die take a shot every time I say Pitfall." Alright yeah I can do this. "PITFALL PITFALL!" I already give up.
Hoarding staves isn't a pitfall if you're playing Conquest Lunatic.
I go General Amelia because I just find having a speedy AF General is fucking hilarious.
4:54 I use Thea because training her to Lv 10 is easier than Shanna. Specially because Shanna slowdown Alan and Lance Snowball, Shanna has to ferry people around and early game enemy are not very friendly to Shanna until cha 8 meanwhile Thea have Shamman and Thieves to kill. I either like Promoted Shanna, she loses aid what is the thing I like the most about her, his aid, to Ferry Gonzalez or other heavy people. Also, 1/10 Thea is better stads wise than 1/10 Shanna in evering except luck and speed and It's only 2AS of advantage taking into account Thea con. The other advantage is that Shanna will have higher WR but the desert chapter and his Gaiden have so many brigands that training sword Rank isn't that hard, It's still a Advantage for Shanna but I still think that is very small diference.
Don't forget you HAVE to recruit all Charaters, so you HAVE to recruit the Like button too or you will fall in a Pitfall!
I always sell like 90% of vulernaries because I am almost always low on funds so hoarding them is not an option.
Saying that waiting for Mekkah to publish a new Pitfall is a Pitfall is a Pitfall.
In FE12 Lunatic if you fall in a pitfall you lose, really. Aside from like, using Est.
pitfalls are more like: what gamefaqs got wrong back in 2005
fuck, when I first played fire emblem I was so against using consumables that I never even used the stat boosters.
The real pitfalls are the pits we fell into along the way.
Mekkah's wyvern is Pitfly?
Clairifying your point? Pitfall.
Next episode will be Pitfalls XI: Pitfall pitfall pitfalls to fallpit in pitfall pitfalls.
I really wish the fixed growths mode of FE9 made it in to other games so you could experience the "intended" characters (I know it wasn't exactly averages, but it had the general idea). For example I swear by Thea because in 9/10 playthroughs of FE6 she has been better in my personal experience, yet most will argue Shanna is better for a wide array of valid reasons, and rightly so. I would like to experience this normal Shanna more than 10% of the time.
As for character idc since it's on an original cart so I can't read the plot anyway.
If i counted every mistake ive made in FE as a pitfall, id be in a pitfall deep enough to reach the earth's core.
This video is a pitfall but this comment section is top tier is what I would say if I was to fall in a pitfall but goodjob
I watch all your pitfall series, disagree on some of it but I fall into pitfall of falling into pitfall is pitfall.
This makes me see the series in a new light.
The greatest pitfall is when you fall into pits. And what FE games have pits to be fallen into? Yeah, that flipping brige map on Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. So that's the lesson, don't do Tellius, it's bad for your health.
It's actually genius. No doubt that making a Pitfall series would eventually become a meme, and no doubt that Mangs would take that meme and beat it to absolute death to the point where the original meaning of the term is lost thus requiring this video. Very smart.
How many Pitfalls would Pit fall into if Pit could fall into Pitfalls?
Technically the sign should've been flipped in the reflection of AZ's eyes
8:32 why did you put an emphasis on General Amelia?
Also HAHAHA jokes on you. I dont need to fall into pitfalls to suck!
I like General Amelia because it feels like I have an anime mech on my team
It took me this long to realize the music corresponds to the games...
Pitfalls 🙌. Thanks mekkkah
I still hoard a bit and have trouble promoting before level 20. Using prepromotes is hard because I end up training too many units. Though, I recently early promoted in my latest FE8 run and the ghost ship was a piece of cake.
Something odd that has happened to me is that I've lost patience with FE as I've gotten more experienced, and this causes my to try and rush maps, getting me killed. This also makes it difficult for me to use un-optimal units.
I think I've been an FE player for 5-6 years now?
Early promoting is painful when you're playing at 20% or higher growth rates, and its kinda hard to not raise the growth rates or randomize the game after the seventh or eighth playthrough. I've never had a problem with trying to rush and getting something killed. Usually someone dies to astronomically low hit rates, which is annoying.
