Part of a successful SSS rank playthrough on console. I used the Nintendo Power version, so it's technically AAA, but the turn/character counts match the SSS requirements.
Since I didn't get my precious 5 turn Chapter 24 because of utterly retarded A.I. (it honestly wasn't my fault, as you'll see), I "knew" that SSS was beyond my grasp without restarting from Chapter 18. I knew a two turn completion of the Final Chapter would be required to achieve it, and let's face it, unless you're EXTREMELY lucky (pretty much TAS only) AND have just the right setup, you won't get it.
With this fact in mind, I played through this chapter in a depressed state. I figured I might as well get SS while I was there, and so I completed the chapter in 3 turns (same as the ChinaFE run). It turns out that my math must have sucked at some point, because sure enough, 179/47/AAA (darn Nintendo Power!) shows up on the screen at the end.
Needless to say, I was in total shock and I seem to remember letting off quite a few curse words in disbelief.
Also, as a side-note, I've given thought to the idea of some sort of audio/video commentary, but it seems rather unnecessary and stupid to do so. I'd probably spend most of it cursing like a sailor when mentioning specific chapters anyway, so I doubt anybody wants to hear that. Perhaps I'm wrong?
Final note (since I want this to be known): Load up the ChinaFE Chapter 8x .smv and stop it before Leaf seizes the throne. Look at Asvel's build stat (6, I believe) and take note of it. Load the Chapter 9 .smv and stop it when the chapter begins. Look at Asvel's build (7). Please tell me foul play wasn't involved.
Maybe he re-did 8x to gain more build? If so, why didn't he include that version of 8x?

Oh god, that happen to me once and I forgot to use Sara.
Never have I had punch a computer screen so hard.

@papita69xxx It does take a critical - I criticaled Medeus in only one hit in Shadow Dragon.
But really, GETTING to them is the harder one.

The demon king can be ohkoed but most FE bosses don´t take too long to defeat

Idoun doesn't suck. She just didn't have the will to fight. Beldo did. Beldo is the only one that sucks as he is the only last boss in the series that you can defeat without a holy weapon..

I doubt anyone has managed to clear this map in two turns...it's not only resetting for removes but also surviving against dark lords (most with master weapons or equivalent and dangerous skills like pursue and wrath) and not missing any hits, maybe even forcing a couple crits and caring a LOT about level ups.

I still say Beldo is just one step above Idoun as the worst Fire Emblem final Boss. Teh Demon King actually doesn't take just one character to take out, and Lyon actually does put up a fight.

Considering all the punishment you had to endure to get to the Final Chapter(in a SSS runner's case, planning), Beldo is hilariously underwhelming for a Final Boss, especially for FE standards.
I mean, the only way you're royally screwed is if you don't have Sara with the Kia staff and Beldo stones Leaf. :/

Well, Beldo does actually have some superb stats and skills. If you had him he'd be the best character in the game.
It's just that here he has to go up against Sety with Holsety. 34 AS vs 0, rofl.

Always amuses me to see how much of a pansy Beldo is compared to anyone else. :P
