Not sure if I made this topic here, but it's usually one of my favorite topics to make on other websites, so here we go

What is one really cool moment that solidify your love for a character? For example, I love it whenever Mario and Luigi are happy to see each other after their reunited, or whenever Mario acts selflessly for the sake of being an hero.

For a more specific example, I think Doctor Doom is one of the world's greatest villains, he captured a man who has the ability to take over minds, amplified his powers so it's spread worldwide, boast and proved to the man that DOOM himself is immune to his powers because his will is so strong, took over the world, and gave it up because ruling the world bored him
 
Using the Chain Chomp to plow through all of the other bastards while being little babies too young to drive in karts is one of the sole reasons I'm a Baby Luigi fan to this day.
 
The most defining moment of Mario for me will have to be the original Paper Mario's final fight, where all hope seems lost and Peach and Twink give you the last bit of hope that Mario needs to defeat Bowser once and for all. It's truly a beautiful moment, and definitely what I think of when I think of my favorite character in Mario, the main man himself.
 
With a lot of talk of Penelope lately from me, feels like I should bring up the defining short of Carrotblanca, so far, this is the only time she talked beyond "le mew" and "le purr", we get insight on her, she is a shy girl with class, she is friendly and loyal, however, she doesn't take abuse, with that, I feel like really admiring her
 
So...

Luigi... Tbh, this guy's got a series for himself and he just knows how to use it to express himself. Shoutouts to Mario for being his brother too, can't have one without the other. Best bois together.

Ike's got something strong going for him as well. Really, he's an all around nice guy but when he starts yelling at the Empress of Begnion, showing his convictions, but like, I really believe this is Ike's most powerful scene. True, it's a dumb move. But I can't help but to just look at him with a sense of respect after that. Just the nerve the guy has is enough to make me awe. There's also that speech he does before the final chapter too. That's a nice speech, although I liked Elincia's better.

Link... I just love it when he's goofing around. Skyward Sword Link being a prime example of the juicy goofiness. I like him normally, but seeing a Link just being plain stupid just always gets me.

Oh yeah I should talk about (FE) Fiora because once again, the title of best girl has a new donner, and she's sitting on that throne now. Although I love her as a character (she is a terrible big sister but that just endears her to me), the one true moment I knew I was gonna have a good time with her was when I tried using her in FE7 (Blazing Sword). I'll be covering that specific thing in the 'Shroom section I have when the time comes, but basically there's this well-known glitch that is not too hard to set up... I did it, and it gave me a busted weapon that I gave to Fiora, on that same first playthrough where I first used her.

I remember the crits. I remember every time I screamed FIORA happily on the screen. Lance-spinning is how you win a man's heart, ladies and gentlemen.
