Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

I don't understand why people are saying "save Inklings for Smash 5/6"

Strike while the iron is hot. We're not getting a new Smash game anytime soon and if we are, it will most likely be an all-star version to celebrate the 20th anniversary in 2019 that probably won't even be directed by Sakurai.

And there are chances that Splatoon won't even be a thing anymore by the time the next Smash drops. Bring them already.

Well, as Nintenzilla was fleshing out from Frost's point, technical limitations could be one factor to keep them from making them playable this game.

People seem to forget one thing about the Inklings, their ink... could that really be implemented in Smash Wii U, but more importantly, 3DS, just like how it is from Splatoon?... Could they work how Sakurai wants to be?

This is why I always had that mentality of "wait" because the next game would more than likely handle it. Who knows, it could really be possible this game, I would think so, if the 3DS wasn't a concern from me. But that's one thing I think could be something that could keep Sakurai from making them playable now.

Remember, this is the same guy who made characters stay as close as possible to their original sources, in design, and gameplay, and if the main point of the INKlings doesn't work as wanted?...Yeah, they may just not become DLC.

I've been watching MLG and what the hell is going on here?

How is Etikas carreer dead?

OurBraveHero basically tweeted that Etika will make a video about anything. Etika then responded with this:

Spoiler

@OurBraveHero @alanper41328058 @NWPlayer123 Youtube is my sole source of income. In reality, I could give a shit less about smash, right?

Gambling's more fun when there's a risk you'll lose.

So... You think it might be true?

I mean, I want to believe, but there just isn't enough evidence either way.
Which I guess is the point of gambling about it.

Also, the Ice Climbers' main gimmick is what got them cut, due to framerate drops.

 

[PKFreeze89]

Why would 3DS ruin the chances of Inklings being playable? I don't get it.

We have Rosalina and Olimar...

 

[NintenZ]

Actually, Luma and Pikmin are both treated more like items, thus, the 3DS can handle them.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Ice Climbers are my favourite character in Smash 4.

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

But then you have why the Ice Climbers gone from the game. It was the 3DS limitations.

I think if the Ink mechanic works in the 3DS, then they have no problem being in the game. As Frost said, they fit all the other requirements to be playable as DLC now, only if technical issues isn't a factor.

 

[Firus]

And there are chances that Splatoon won't even be a thing anymore by the time the next Smash drops. Bring them already.

I think that's exactly the problem some people have, that without more time passing we don't know if Splatoon is just a temporary fad or if it will have staying power.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just trying to help you understand where the other side is coming from.

what are the rules of being too new, less than 5 years old? I have people saying Shulk is too new before smash came out and the game he came from was 3-4 years old at the time. The too new rule can be bend to the person that uses it will, which I don't like . Until Sakurai comes out and said it himself I will not that the it's too new rule seriously.

Yeah, that's a good point; Xenoblade hadn't had a sequel (and hadn't even had a rerelease to give the first game better recognition) by the time Sm4sh was released, so I think that's probably the most effective counterargument to the "too new" argument. I don't think I've ever seen specific rules for what's "too new," but only having one game seems to be a big piece of the argument.

Say, if there's an open slot for the this whole betting thing, I'm willing to follow along. It wouldn't be the first time I've betted with avatars.

Just out of curiosity, what are we referring to when it comes to the "Ink Mechanic"?

Like you said. No evidence either way. I said from the beginning I was giving this one the benefit of the doubt, and it's got a shelf date, so I don't see the harm in entertaining the possibility.

I really don't have much understanding of what the Ink in Splatoon does since I never have hands on game experience, but from the looks of things, I think all the things the Inklings do with their ink, movement, attacks, and just the Ink's properties, like it being on stages and platforms, and how it just behaves in Splatoon, would it work in Smash just the same? Sakurai really does make's it clear how much will he try to make characters stay close to the source games, making some leeway, but is that enough for him to make them work as characters now?... I don't know, I would hope so, but I don't know for sure.

"You're a squid now! You're a kid now! You're a kid! You're a squid!"

Plus spraying the ink on the stage.

 

[Fenriraga]

Uh... Oy, I hate to be that guy, but... what did I miss here?
I'm trying to catch up but I can't keep track of everything =P

 

[kylexv]

So wait, they removed the single game and now you have to buy the dual package they are releasing to get new super luigi bros U?

Yes.

So, stage control? Well that doesn't sound too bad. Though I don't know how well that'd be in Smash...

Uh... Oy, I hate to be that guy, but... what did I miss here?

At this point I don't think any of us know.

 

[epicmartin7]

I didn't really want to share this, but I felt this gives some info on the current situation right now regarding the rumor right now.
So, one of the people who I know that knows about the character (most likely Inklings) responded to me with this.

I know the 1st and 2nd. I even know a bit more than that, but I won't be discussing that, and no amount of questions will make me say otherwise. Just enjoy the ride.

What I gather from this is Stealth and others know ALOT more then they are letting off.

Spoiler

I'm scared...

A thing where they spread ink across the battlefield and can then swim around in it. All over the battlefield.

So... Is this the tenth or eleventh guy who says they know something? I'm beginning to lose count.

 

[OurBraveHero]

A thing where they spread ink across the battlefield and can then swim around in it. All over the battlefield.

I don't think it would stay on the battlefield long. It would probably be an extremely short duration.

 

[NintenZ]

Has anyone here seen the Wizard of Oz? (I know you're all going to say yes but I'm still asking)

 

[epicmartin7]

The 8th Person who doesn't want his/her identity out in the public .

How does it feel to be a part of a leak/rumor

 

[epicmartin7]

How does it feel to be a part of a leak/rumor

It sucks. Really badly .

 

[Substitution]

The 8th Person who doesn't want his/her identity out in the public .

So, as a whole, about eleven/twelve...
I swear, at this rate we can make a colony out of those who know.

 

[NintenZ]

Oh, and the question I asked is related to the topic, I just wanted to make sure you'd all seen it so you know what I'm talking about.

OK
Here's what we know;

1. There are 2 Characters that people know of.
2. Character #1 be revealed between now and either the 23rd (Most people say) the end of the month (Others say)
3. Character #1 is a First-Party Newcomer that has a new Mechanic
4. Character #2 exists, but we know nothing about them other than "They're there."
5. There is indeed more than these two.

And here's what we assume;

1. Character #1 is most-likely Inkling
2. Everyone knows except me (Swamp might even know about it, noone is safe)
   That's about it

 

[Icedragonadam]

I really hope this week goes by fast. This leak is killing me. But Tri Force Heroes will probably save me though.

 

[epicmartin7]

So, as a whole, about eleven/twelve...

Well. I'm pretty sure everyone knows about Inkling know. So we pretty much only have one character left and according to the 8th person, plenty more from where that came from.

 

[AreJay25]

So basically, if they know more than we assume, then that means more Twitter leaks...

Yay...

 

[Bedoop]

I don't think it would stay on the battlefield long. It would probably be an extremely short duration.

Seeing as Splatoon Ink has the natural (And quite convenient) ability to vanish after 5 Minutes, we could probably just shorten that timer down to ~15-30 Seconds.
Plus there should be programming to make the Ink allowed on only Solid Floors and not Drop-through Floors and Walls (Especially walls) seeing as that could give the Inkling either entire stage control or an infinite recovery as long as there's a wall with Ink on it.

 

[Substitution]

Well. I'm pretty sure everyone knows about Inkling know. So we pretty much only have one character left and according to the 8th person, plenty more from where that came from.

Well unless one of these character is the Great Lightning God Pichu himself, I ain't interested.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Consider this a warning then. I know you mean well but sometimes it's better to save your own hide then go out for something you really don't need to be involved in. Let someone else take the fall.

 

[epicmartin7]

I'm starting to feel like these leaks are just becoming one unescapable infomercial...

 

[NintenZ]

Okay, so what I was talking about before was that the Wizard of Oz (Oz the Great and Powerful) claims to have great magical powers, but Todo helps find out that he's only a man behind a curtain, and doesn't truely have any magical powers, but the main characters still get something. So why am I bringing this up? Well, I believe we can compare this to the rumour we're currently discussing, it's probably another "Ignore the man behind the curtain." type of thing.

 

[Chandeelure]

I hope that "more" means characters and not something like Mii costumes or Hanenbow's return.

 

[Substitution]

I'm starting to feel like these leaks are just becoming one unescapable infomercial...

I miss Billy Mays. There was a charm to him that others didn't have (even if I never bought the scams called "products").

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

It sucks. Really badly .

I feel your pain

So payday 2 money grabbing transactions summoned jim sterling wrath.

Welp with that only 2 non-valve multiplayer games worthed my money on steam,and the community for both are sadly almost dead.

A shame to see this is almost dead. This game was so much fun last time I played it
