Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[TheAnvil]

I just showed a friend Panty & Stocking. He can't believe it

Panty & Stocking will be the name of the protagonists for the Yooka-Laylee spiritual sequel in 5 years.

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

Who I'd like to see? For this one, announcements for Wolf, Shovel Knight, and Inkling.(I'm okay with Wolf being later, if it's K. Rool instead). Second set down the line would be K. Rool(or Wolf), Isaac, and no idea who the 3rd one could be. Maybe another 3rd party. Or Pichu. Or Snake(for a more specific 3rd party choice).

Well if you're throwing Pichu's name around, why not Squirtle/Ivysaur?

Hey y'know what'd be an awesome new feature: Y'know how at the end of Smash Tour you have a line up of characters you can fight as that switch through each other when you die (like in the Subspace Emissary)?
Can we get a new mode to access that Without having to slog through Smash Tour to get to it?

This looks like a generic 4 chan leaks list bro.
Also Unreasonable =/= Pipe dream.

A 4chan "leak" would not mention Banjo, it would list some irrelevant indy character like Shovel Knight as confirmed.

Also, pipe dream would include Nintendo vs. Capcom.

I just want good games and continued support. The WiiU library is very bare bones compared to previous gens. Also, region lock is archaic, and they've already considered doing away with it, an update to do away with it isn't too unreasonable.

Either way, considering how things are atm, I'll just wait for that mod to be complete and just hack my console and play the Japanese XCX.

 

[Soul.]

I'm honestly expecting Pokémon Z or whatever the game's name is.
If it isn't shown I won't be even mad lol, but I just think it will be.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

It's possible that Smash could be at the start and end of the Direct.
Like how it was with the E3 2013 & 2014.
Or there could be Big announcement at the end ()so would cover it all at the start.
It's only a few hours until we find out :D

 

[SlickWylde]

I don't think he's serious, he's still ignoring my bet... but that's probably because he knows if I make him a frustrating Mario Maker stage it'll destroy him

I'm serious. Also, I don't know what bet you're talking about?

I never ignore people. If I don't respond to something, tag me again, I can't keep up with this thread haha.

 

[Z25]

Anybody have a link to the smash live chat? Because I guarantee this site will be crashed very fast.

 

[Fenriraga]

OHHHH **** GUYS

I tweeted at Jirard/TheCompletionist to wish him luck and such... I ended the tweet with "I hope whatever you're doing in the Minute is... SMASHING."
He liked the Tweet.

I don't wanna go all gaga over a simple like of a tweet but AHHHH confirmed!!!!111!

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Well if you're throwing Pichu's name around, why not Squirtle/Ivysaur?

Because I don't think they really have a chance at all. They ultimately got in cause of PT, and unlike Charizard, have nowhere the same level of iconicness or popularity. Pichu was at least a mascot, and is easy to remake. Plus, his gameplay would do well with rage. In addition, they have to do a lot to balance out Squirtle and Ivysaur. They lose two moves each(Final Smash and Down B), regular Tether Recoveries are dead... there's just too much going against 'em. I don't expect Pichu overall, but I do find him more likely.

Besides that, I want a Gen II Pokemon again, but this is the only one that's pure bias and doesn't have any logic to it besides my pure opinion.

I honestly think any Pokemon DLC will be stages at this point, though. There's tons of other series to show DLC love to. And I don't expect any Mii costumes for Pokemon either, so...

This is certainly possible, although, Pokemon "Z" could be the final announcement, or one of the first, who knows. This direct is definitely going to be good though!

 

[Metal Shop X]

There is already a leak. A Splatoon leak.

Spoiler

Winter is coming.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Only 3 friggin' hours left...

Why must I suffer this wait?

Oh god dammit.

Time to wear my leak repellent goggles.

Welp, time to visit the museum or something to pass the time.

Quick Lads to the Spoiler Free Bunker.
We shall be safe from the Leaks till then.

Pretty much this.
See yall after the direct.
Tis the season of obnoxious leaks.

 

[SlickWylde]

One way to help this site from crashing is by not pressing f5 constantly which some people love to do haha.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Considering of napping to kill time.

[KenboCalrissian]

He loved/loves to argue that Sakurai would add a non-popular choice to shake things up, so it makes sense, honestly.

I thought you were referring specifically to Prince Sable, with a nod to @bluepikmin11

Wow! Nintendo Dun goofed!
So Splatoon has a focus in the direct, new update? Octolings please?!

 

[AreJay25]

Ah, that Alfonzo. Always a gentleman, filling in for all of those people. He finally has a museum dedicated to him!

 

[Metal Shop X]

>Museum d'Alfonsino

Sorry, I had to. lol.

Alfonzo is the best memes that Smash 4 have. Just right after "Better Nerf Greninja". (But seriously, i don't like that memes at all. Same for Ridley is 2 big jokes.)

 

[KenboCalrissian]

This guy:

I'll take you on - but to make things interesting, I'm going to take the most extreme opposite stance I can:

For the purposes of this bet (not necessarily what I believe), I'll wager that the 4chan leak is correct - 6 characters revealed, 3 available after the direct. I'm going all in.

I'll wager you a Super Mario Maker level - the winner creates the most frustrating level they can for the loser, and the loser must upload a video to their Youtube channel (since we both have one) of suffering through it to completion.

If we're both wrong (and that's what I'm counting on with my outrageous bet), we both create frustrating levels for each other.

Spoiler

For the record, here's my actual gut feeling on character reveals: 3 shown, 2 available after direct, the third will be available December or January. They hint that this is not the end but don't give a firm cap.

I'm willing to modify it to accommodate your new bet of one DLC character. Meanwhile, I'm going to continue to back the claims of a confirmed fake leak because I only take suicidal bets with fun punishments.

My bingo sheet is finished.

Usually, I don't post often and I'm still more an observer here. But oh man, hype is really coming. I'll just post my Bingo-Card, which I posted on my Twitter:

I'm strangely not expect much Smash-Stuff to be honest. Or better said, much Smash-DLC released today. 1 Character but then the rest is coming next year. But from my bingo-Card, the only thing I really wish is Rhythm Heaven Plus and Picross 3D 2. Everything else is just...to be expected.

I didn't know you had an account here. Welcome!

 

[Deleted member]

1. Why, thank you for spoiling me
2. Brb going to draw some child porn then, they don't exist after all
3. I'm not surprised you noticed those things but okey
4. Ok, if you think a character's sexual appeal is important, then that is you *shrug emoticon*
Also, Doll-to-Skell change is not censorship, I may not like it but I'm not complaining vecause of a name
5. Because comparing an anime to a Nintendo game makes sense? If we went by anime standards we wouldn't haveany E rated games

1. The fact that you knew it was a spoiler means you weren't spoiled.

2. If you're drawing it, then it's not child pornography, you're not harming any minors by producing it. Likewise, there is no shame in the human body. Sexuality happens in the mind, it's how you interpret it that matters. If seeing a child naked, cartoon or not, inherently sexual to you, then the problem lies mostly with you. Not the content. A drawing is a drawing, and nude children among other nude figures are very common in Renaissance art. Does this mean that Michaelangelo was a pedo? No, it doesn't.

3. You shouldn't be surprised. I'm an artist. I've studied human proportions and have a trained eye when it comes to noticing these things.

4. Sex and sexuality are perfectly normal aspects of human nature. It's perfectly fine to enjoy sexy things, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with "objectification" contrary to what many would like to have you believe.

I'm a man, and I'm not ashamed of the fact that women arouse me, real, digital, cartoon, etc...

If a game offers the option to dress up characters (both male and female I might add) in skimpy outfits, I'd like to not have that option removed thanks to neoPuritans.

Funny enough, I've discussed these issues with a fair deal of my private students (grown adults for the record), showing them examples of the removed content in FFV, and every single one has agreed that this form of censorship is ridiculous.

Not surpising for gun-totting America to be offended by bikinis however, and be perfectly fine this:

https://youtu.be/DYcPXGBOu3g

5. We're comparing Asian culture, to Asian culture. I don't understand the double standard just because the mediums are different. For one, XCX isn't even rated E, it's T last I checked.

And going back to my previous point, only fans of anime and Japanese culture were gonna bother buying an anime game. I don't understand the point in removing the things that make it inherently Japanese.

It's like travelling to Tokyo and demanding everyone speak English and remove the aspects of their culture you find offensive.

Part of the point of experiencing something from a different culture is so that you can open yourself up to sll the ideas and concepts unique to it, no matter how foreign they might seem to you.

I understand localization exists for a reason. But as someone who did a translation gig for a big shot company for a few months. NoA should be ashamed of the piss poor job done on XCX.

Anyway, dunno why the rant. I already said I'd be getting the Japanese version. Already got the Prima guide, and I speak a bit of Moon. You feel free to enjoy and defend whatever you like. But personally, I'm not giving NoA any of my money for their miserable effort, and I hope the meme-spouting idiots at theTreehouse get fired.

Now for the big question...


Is that "Star Fox Zero" News, or "Star Fox" - Zero News?

It works either way. Contronym if I've ever seen one.

****. I'VE BEEN SO LONG WITHOUT GETTING A SINGLE XENOBLADE X SPOILERS BUT SOME PERVERTED DIP**** HAD TO RUIN IT FOR ME. GOD ****ING DAMMIT. ALL TO JUSTIFY SEXUALIZING A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD.

 

[Inawordyes]

What's everybody doing to pass the time?

I'm catching up on Renowned Explorers - I haven't touched it since before Mali Mystery released as I was focused on other games, so now seems like the perfect time to give it a go!

I thought cleaning up around my house would help kill some time.

Turns out the house was already pretty clean. I was done in like an hour.

Haha, nah, it's more an Insider, based on that PC-masterrace-cartoon from Egoraptor. But to be honest, Minecraft is not really my type of game. But I respect it a lo and its success!

 

[Shroob]

I can barely contain my hype within my own body.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

grrrrrrrrr I'm so ****ing pissed. I wanted to experience Xenoblade X without any spoilers whatsoever and for the first time ever I managed to hold back on spoilers for a game I'm hyped for. I don't even smoke but I need a ****ing *** right now

I'm just watching T.V., I think I will eat something now, and then I will do some exercise.
