Talk:Rush Sykes

Image height

I think we need to reduce the height of this image as I don't believe we'll find enough information to go past the infobox and reducing the height of the image will make the infobox smaller height wise and cause the page to look fuller

True, it did make me laugh when I saw it loading up. Cool pic though.
Also, "Statistics" and "Starting Statistics" should be consolidated.

Arts

I think for rush instead of starting/Learnt arts, we can just have an Arts section. Because technically you don't even know omnistrike from start. Sarmu 04:57, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

can you add a section listing the best weapons to strive for for each character so we dont run around wasting money/components on a weapon that cant be upgraded please?70.189.246.45 05:55, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Definitely not on the character page. The best weapons are subjective anyhow, it's a matter of opinion rather than a matter of actual data. One mans trash is another mans treasure they say. With Rush you have that much choice for class/weapon/wield style that there is no wrong or right. The sheer amount of equipment and classes alone make the amount of possible paths for Rush nearly infinite as it, by infinite I mean within the limits of choice of course. I like Rush as an Ordainer or Warlock with dual Superlative Hawkwinds for example, but then I also like him as a Ninja with Nightbloom/Tataraichi and an Alchemist or Gladiator with the Frostblade! It's just personal choice, each combination I've mentioned has its pro's and con's but they are my personal choices. I also quite like Rush as a Commander, or Warlock with a Blackjack because Double Down is a deadly weapon art. :) 60.241.230.101 07:07, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

You can find the best weapons for Rush in the FAQ. All other characters are limited (unless you cheat) so it should be quite obvious what the best weapons are for them. - Merthos 12:56, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Rush drops Photon Field III art.

Had some time to kill and decided to kill the boredom with some playing around! Rush dropping Photon Field III on the union along with Savage status (The Conqueror Enraged). Photon Field III replaced Band of Champions III in Wards.

wtf or.. what the hell, are his skills , weapon , other equip ? so he could use/learned it ? or what did you do for it ?

- Jake Farrell 22:47, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

He can't learn the way through any normal means. I was just playing around and switched Band of Champions III with Photon Field III by changing the art record for Band of Champions III to do exactly what Photon Field does, and changed it's string too. All it does is make the union Invincible for 3 turns or upto 5 if you have Legendary Scouts/etc with Buff DUration. The coolest part about it is the red flames, other than that it does exactly what the conqueror does in Photon Field, and every guy with Unique Arts/Remnant Arts does when they get the art (union image goes orange hazed) and Union gets Evasion +15%.

Freaky!

I didn't know rush could go into savage status! O teach me, o great master!!

Last Line

You all know that after the credits Rush and The Conqueror said "Conqueror: What will you do now? / Rush: What do you think? I'm going back. They're waiting for me" if this is part of the story or just a greeting that you can new game+(PC) start a new game in Xbox 360, if its part of the story then whats the reason that they both survive and where they could be.--Remnant13 23:55, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

The lines appear in both versions. In the JP version, he's actually only referring to one person ("あいつ" instead of "みんな"), though it's up in the air who. Most people think he's referring to David, but it could also mean Irina, considering how unusually psychotically devoted he is to her. My speculation is that all "dead" Remnants simply fade into another plane of existence. Still in the same world, but without physical form. With Rush (the original) and the Conqueror (the backup), they're supposed to be Remnant Wardens, so it's possible that they have enough power to retake a physical form. They were probably designed that way too. After all, when full awakened, they should theoretically be able to bind all Remnants as they're supposed to watch over them. Just so happens that Rush is very bad at his job. Don't forget to sign your posts. Zephyr 22:35, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry im still new to this wikia and editing and all, I thought of that to cause Rush and the conqueror are remnants but they also have the appearance of a mitra like the part when Irina said that they may find a remnant that looks like a mitra, then Rush was shock to hear that and bother his mind of what he really is. But in the end he awakened in the last parts of the game and choose to destroy all remnants instead of releasing.

Did Marina Sykes found Rush in the sacred land as a remnant and adopted him or rush is really the son of the Sykes and Rush was called in the sacred land by a Remnant and turn into a remnant cuz the story line was not well expressed leaving people like us guessing. But what I think is rush awakened in the sacred lands from a crib, like the Red chair of the conqueror under Undelwalt and Marina adopted him and sealed the remnant part of Rush when Rush gone back to sacred lands--Remnant13 23:55, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Which then becomes a "nature vs. nurture" debate. You can raise someone for a good deal of their life and have them not notice a damn thing. It was likely the case with Rush, being as dumb as he is. And likely a partial sealing from Marina, or else he wouldn't be able to protect Irina when provoked. Irina more than likely noticed because of Marion's Blessing, which was why she brought it up in Elysion. Obviously, stating that Rush is a Remnant would mean the Academy wanting to study him, so that was a no-go. While he's pretty dumb, he's not that dumb. He was likely shocked that Irina would even think that because most of the Remnant theory doesn't talk about Remnants walking among man. Rush doesn't complain about being insanely hungry, ever. So that pretty much rules out him being half-Remnant like Nora (she was forcefully fused with one, so the Remnant is likely acting as a parasite). Since Remnants can take any form, it was really just a matter of finding them. It's possible that there are many other people within the world that are actually Remnants, not mitra/yama/sovani/qsiti. As for Rush awakening, I think it was probably during the halfway point, before Gwayn blasted Nagapur. He blew away Irina so she would stay back. He was pretty hellbent on stopped the Conqueror himself starting around the Bases too. You also don't know what he was doing during the 6 month period, so he may have been learning how to control his Remnant power, which I think might explain he was able to go all out for that final blow. You first see him using his power without knowing it at the beginning of the game too... And I'm pretty sure that it didn't come from the Talisman because he hadn't picked it up yet. Zephyr 00:27, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

In that scene he used the Omnistrike on those Hypnos, guess that the page Talisman is wrong cuz it states It "enables him to use the unique art Omnistrike" the only thing that the talisman do is Talisman's Gift and the summon Cyclops. Some of Rush power where awakened from that moment but never remembered that he was a warden he only remember some of his memories when the conqueror bound the ark and the part before gyawn destroyed Nagapur. and Rush didn't even freakout from using omnistrike for the first time and just like his name he always Rushes thing which almost killed him and his buddies.--Remnant13 02:22, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Pretty sure that it wasn't Omnistrike in that scene as he didn't briefly disappear from his spot (he didn't have the Talisman yet). It just a release of power that simply disintegrated them. The Talisman is used for Omnistrike though. It slows down time just enough for him to hit the enemy multiple times. Don't forget that he also uses the Talisman for Timeshift. Zephyr 02:48, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Well I guess your right the talisman has multiple powers it is really special the onmistrike is basically timeshift and Rush remnant powers combine. thanks!--Remnant13 04:38, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Random Thoughts

I think Rush should've been able to be the other races. So you'd have a Qsiti Rush, a Yama Rush, and a Sovani Rush. But to unlock these options, you'd have to beat the game a certain amount of times. --Brokendwarf 12:50, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
