I think his hair is gar...
XDDDDD
...
Anywho.. I watch FSN the anime first before playing the translated game...
So i guess.. To me.. Archer is gar because of that 'incident' from that made him well known in the anime...
I admit Lancer too is gar once you get to see him in UBW... But like i said.. Sadly.. I knew Archer first through the anime...
Might have thought about him (Lancer) differently if i'd seen his Gar moments before episode 13/14...

I think it was due to the whole Berserker vs. Archer scene from the anime that made him GAR. Not only that but some people say that Lancer is GAR as well, but his blue outfit negates that fact.
In any case for some reason it was because of Archer that we had the GAR meme if I remeber my *chan history correctly.

I have to second that about the Irish part of course. That and he is actually a ladies man. I mean he actualy decided to hit on Rin even though she was still in the Grail War.Mkilbride wrote:I love Archer, he's my favorite.
Lancer is in second, for sure. He's Irish, and I'm Irish...and he's a ladies man...and I'm a ladies man, and we both have a taste for violence. So whewt to that.

Lancer is a fucking badass man, i've always considered him cooler than archer. Because he's beyond all emotional issues and internal struggles (unlike archer). His resolve can't be changed by mere events. He's always true to his beliefs, he's like the perfect heroic spirit. Lancer also plays his alignment PERFECTLY (lawful neutral). He's basically amazing.
Archer is GAR, He took on servants he had no chance against and proved to be formidable. An arrow he shot during a fight against Berserker in a bad end.
He also does not truly fight in a real underhanded style, and shows bravery in hopeless situations. He even abandons his whole meaning of returning to the grail war in HF to protect the town.
here are some GAR facts about him
Lancers just irish who can fight well and look cool in front of a girl... honestly he fails at being lucky with any girls, while GARcher's 17 year old self has a loli-lover, a hot purple haired girl who loves sex, female Arthur, and tsundere magus following him around, which i think is kinda nice...

here are some GAR facts about him
- * Killed Berserker like 6 times himself
* Was the only one in the game to ever show the ability to Block Gae Bolg (saber just barely survived it luckily)
* Created a reality marble without mana support of a master and fended off the strongest servant in her strongest condition
* Fought his younger self in a clash of ideals, only to allow himself to be stabbed due to a realization of epicness
* After being stabbed through the chest, he jumps in the way of a rain of swords from Gilgamesh
* After surviving a rain of swords, he again jumps into another rain of swords form Gilgamesh....
* He lives another day to finish the war with an epic smile on his face, and refuses to be given pity
* He IS the bone of his sword
* He drinks TEA
* He can clean a destroyed mansion room in the matter of an hour
* His arm alone can kill Berserker with tracing one weapon
* He chooses a weak noble phantasm for combat simply because he thinks it looks cool
* He uses his tracing ability to make a new NP attack (Kansho+Byakua Overedge)
* His arm alone can create a tool capable of creating rifts to access parallel universes
* He can die with a smile on his face with a badass attitude
* He is worthy to be selected by the world to be a Counter Guardian which protects its destruction (although he doesn't want it, he takes it)
* He can make Rin blush
* His Arm can reinforce its users body with swords that boost defense and skewer you from the inside
* He has his own epic BGM thats widely renowned as epic
* He lived through a town explosion and lived a life under a cursed ideal without complaint
* He lives through cutting off his own arm without any antibiotics and maintaining a spiritual body for several hours easily while waiting for his younger self to undergo GARm treatment
* He drinks tea
* He had his own anime filler that wasn't in the game just because he was so eipc he needed it

Eh, I don't think Archer is Gah either. He's actually a typical archetype if you ask me, the senile type that ultimately turns emo kind of thing, I actually prefer Shirou if you ask me.
- Shirou: yes, he's emo but he basically tells that to your face.
- Archer: he's emo but due to falling under the "supposed to act cool but fail and turn out gay" type character.

I am drinking English Breakfast tea with sugar and milk right now and posing like Archer on the couch just to feel even more GAR.
Much like Shirou, Archer is just cool as heck when he faces off against impossible odds. It makes me want to be a better person and do my best when I think of that kind of perseverance.
EDIT: So awesome I just made it my avatar ~!

Because I can, I'm going to dissect all the points I left in. The others I wont argue with.Rikh wrote:

- * Was the only one to be attacked by that version of Gae Bolg too.
* He didn't stand a chance against Saber, and everyone knew it. He has an excuse, but point is null.
* When was this? He only gets skewered once, in the UBW route.
* K+B? Pretty sure that's because he mastered the technique that was so good it could easily kill Black Saber.
* His arm + Rins knowledge + Ilyas past...seeing...thing, + the materials can create a jem sword. Without someone to activate it, its useless.
* Can't anyone, so long as they ask the world? Or am I just totally wrong?
* So can Lancer. And probably anyone else.
* That was Shirous', as it applied to him first.
* But he did complain. Kiritsugu wouldn't complain.
* What's he gonna do, bleed to death? He just had to wait for his prana supply to run out.
Twice. Once when he first pushed Shirou aside as Gil barged in and do sword spam. One more when he pushed Shirou (again) away from the second sword spam (they already noticed Gil, but it was too late). The second sword spam caused the hall to wreck and bury Archer in a pile of concrete.that one guy wrote:When was this? He only gets skewered once, in the UBW route.
And how did he master the twin swords if it weren't for his choice? He could have chosen stronger swords and master them instead of K&B if he wants to. He was dedicated to K&B because the creation of the sword is beautiful (what he thinks), and therefore uses them to his maximum extent.K+B? Pretty sure that's because he mastered the technique that was so good it could easily kill Black Saber.
No, rather, it's dedicated to heroic Emiya. Not Heroic Spirit Emiya, but heroic Emiya (as in Emiya when performing something heroic and badass).That was Shirous', as it applied to him first.
When will I get my 1337th post?

1) Ah, you're right. It's been a while, but that does sound correct.Kikuchi wrote:Twice. Once when he first pushed Shirou aside as Gil barged in and do sword spam.

2) He probably mastered Kansho and Bakuya when he was still alive, which also means he probably couldn't make anything too complicated at the time, and even when he could why waste your rather limited supply of prana making, for example, Excalibur, when K+B works just fine?
3) First come first serve.
