Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Aurane]

soooo Ribombee isn't total garbage. base 95 SpA is decent, and 124 Spe lets it outpace base 120 Pokémon.

access to Quiver Dance, Roost, Baton Pass and the new move Pollen Puff (Bug, 90 BP, Special) that deals damage and if hit on an ally it restores their HP instead. pretty nice

Abilities are meh but I guess Shield Dust can't be awful if it means you can set up without being burned from **** like Scald or poisoned

Not to mention it can switch in on Outrage and get a free buff. That's a big perk for the likes of a QDpasser.

 

[Schnee117]

Also I have a question for you guys, what's your favorite movie from this year?

Dr Strange was brilliant as was Civil War.
Though there's still Fantastic Beasts (feeling kinda eh on this) and Rogue One (this should be great) to come out.

 

[Opossum]

I'm seeing Doctor Strange sometime this week since I needed to put it off, so this may change, but so far my favorite film of the year was Captain America: Civil War.

 

[LancerStaff]

Then it's not worth the time and the ballot was a real waste of time.

You know, just like the mediocre Super Mario Maker 3DS port that's coming out soon.

If you're cool with it, cool. But that doesn't meant everyone else would like it.

Even if you added ten characters from the ballot people will say it was a waste anyway... Mostly because they didn't get their precious little nobody but whatever.

Okay? This isn't about what I want. This is about what I think Nintendo will do, and adding five characters that the vocal minority wants isn't going to do anything significant for sales.

How would it be a slap in the face? It's not like you're entitled to the new content, and Ninty needs a way to get people to get people to want to pick up Smash on the Switch.

Because buying the same game again at full price for hardly any new content and/or for the one character you really wanted is a scam. Especially when it just as easily could come to Wii U as DLC.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Sigh, I didn't manage to get an NES Classic. Store only had about 40 units and there were about 10 people in front of me and 20 behind me who missed out.

Also families are an abuse of the one per customer system.

 

[Mythra]

Mythra Apparently the song I thought was for the legendaries is for the was the Tapus, so yeah, the Topus has epic chants
Ah got it, This is The Tapus

Spoiler

And this is the Zy, Sol and Luna theme

Spoiler

dude has them labled wrong

Thanks, I got confused when Pokeli removed one upload and re-uploaded it with another name; and apparently that correction was indeed right.

I just noticed something on the datamine.

Spoiler

Masquerain got a huge buff in Sp. Attack and Speed.
Now one of my fav Pokémon can set up Quiver Dance and wreck **** instead of Baton Pass it.

I'm really on the edge about this. I'm not entirely sure I'm willing to spend $60 on it. I have 2 days to decide...

Ok seriously, this is sounding a bit redundant really got right. As if the false accusations of be being biased towards Isabelle weren't wonderful enough.

Also, nice strawman of insulting people who poured their hearts into this community. Little nobodies, and what does that make the things you've expect? Necessities?

Golly, this is one of the most pointless arguments ever. Can we get some news already instead of taking about nothing and see who gets the last laugh? You don't need to feel like you are the most special snowflake of the bunch.

No it's not. You're not entitled to that content. If you don't think it's worth it, don't buy it. It's not a scam, it's just business.

Nintendo's adding additional characters to Mario Kart and people care far less about characters there. Even if it doesn't cause a huge bump to sales, Nintendo might still do something. And, well. . .a lot of people really wouldn't buy the exact same game twice but would cave for a few extra characters, either because it's the "complete" version of the game or because they're into competitive or just because they want to check out new content. Some will complain about being ripped off and refuse to, but for others that's the only way to get them to budge. Heck, if they hit the right character they actually could get a (very small) number of people that skipped 4 to buy it. There's always going to be whining and discontent and "this was meaningless because I didn't get *X*/*Y*'s impurity is soiling the roster" about the roster, but on the flipside there's always someone who would be incredibly happy about *insert character here* to the point of tipping a sales choice. That's how the double edged sword cuts.

And I doubt they'd just add characters. Even though I'm skeptical about the whole "all the 3DS stages are added" thing that's been passed around, I find it highly likely that at least some kind of additional stage content will be added. Other modes are less likely, but it's not impossible.

You can never please everyone. This shouldn't even be an argument point.

You also act like you know exactly who the characters are but you don't. Characters are the main appeal of Smash. More people will buy the game if their favourite character is added and yes, people do buy the games for their favourite characters. What they do with their money doesn't make it a scam.

Scam implies dishonesty.

The Wii U is a dead console. It's stupid to support it beyond the new Zelda.
Smash on the Switch will give the game itself more life and make it more appealing whilst they get started on a proper new Smash. You need a good launch year for the console. Having both a Zelda and Smash title will help it out greatly.

 

[praline]

Hmm.. I've decided upon my Miteh region versions of Ekans and Arbok to be Fighting/Dragon type and Griwlithe as Poison type and Arcanine as Poison/Ghost.

 

[Champ Gold]

I probably can't see Dr. Strange until next weekend so it's hard for me to judge for that too. Heard a lot of good things

lol, cant really say much on that less I be infracted for something
Lucky, my mom shut up and isnt mad anymore
Everything is back to normal and I'm happy

 

[Opossum]

Considering the Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon ports got major content updates from what we've seen, it's asinine to think Smash won't get at least a small roster increase, IMO. Nothing too huge, just like, two or three more characters (likely Inkling, Ice Climbers, and an Alola Pokémon if I had to guess).

Smash gets sales because of its roster. A roster increase is needed if they want to nab the previous Wii U owners.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

For those in college, How many times to do you look over your scantron after a test? I look over mine about 3 times

 

[Knight Dude]

It'd be pretty sick if Smash 4 Switch did have a majority of the 3DS stages. Especially the F-Zero and Pacman stages. I wonder if Wily's Fortress gets both a Day AND Night variant. It would be nice if one version lacked Yellow Devil, but one had him show up. Should add another legal stage if that's the case.

Though, I don't really remember what 3DS exclusive stages were legal during the short time players were on that version competitively. I mean, aside from Battlefield and FD.

As for characters, I'd be happy with almost anyone. I hope the ballot is still being taken into consideration.

More excited to see what brand new games are coming to switch, but a few ports couldn't hurt.

We don't have scantrons on our college tests.

Pretty strange huh?

To be honest.

I think Trump actually does.

I think Trump played us all and appealed to the apparent majority.

I'm sure he believes in some of the things he said, but I think he's a smarter man than he lets on.

I've had that feeling for a while. He used his personality to advertise and it worked.

 

[Schnee117]

This just came up:
http://comicbook.com/2016/11/09/ghost-rider-netflix-series-gabriel-luna/

Ghost Rider could get a film or a Netflix series.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Such a dilemma.

He doesn't seem to be as right-wing as opponents claim he is, but he gets people mad nonetheless, and I like it.
Between him and Hillary, I preferred him.

I'll have to wait and see what he actually does before I view him as "my" president.

Do you really think any of the popular ballot characters could sell people on the game? There's Inkling... And that's it really. One character is significantly more effort then none, and the payoff wouldn't be worth it.

If the Switch is a failure, would a few characters convince Wii U players for full price?

If it's a success, how many more people would buy it with a few more characters?

No it's not. You're not entitled to that content. If you don't think it's worth it, don't buy it. It's not a scam, it's just business.

No, I'm not entitled to it. It's just something that would collectively **** off everybody who bought the original and those that wanted the one character. It's a slap in the face as much as Amiibo Festival and Fed Force were... If you told people to stop complaining about those... Peh, hehehe.

Nintendo's adding additional characters to Mario Kart and people care far less about characters there. Even if it doesn't cause a huge bump to sales, Nintendo might still do something. And, well. . .a lot of people really wouldn't buy the exact same game twice but would cave for a few extra characters, either because it's the "complete" version of the game or because they're into competitive or just because they want to check out new content.

Characters in MK8 are more like skins... Some animations, recycled voice clips, a model, and there you have it. Smash requires all of that and designing, making and balancing movesets relative to another fifty characters.

MK8+ seems to be doing a lot more then just adding content, changing a core mechanic with two items and all, and MK8 doesn't have near as many legal hurdles nor does it require rebuilding a dev team for the game. Presumably the MK team has been on this for quite some time... Meanwhile the Smash team has been disbanded.

You can never please everyone. This shouldn't even be an argument point.

You also act like you know exactly who the characters are but you don't. Characters are the main appeal of Smash.

The point is that it wouldn't please much of anybody compared to the current game.

I know that there's maybe two characters from the ballot that could possibly convince people in droves.

Selling five characters for 60$ is dishonest and a dead business practice to boot.

Porting characters back would be simple unless they took up a ridiculous amount of horsepower. It'd be free money and nobody would have a reason to be upset.

 

[Kurri ★]

No, I'm not entitled to it. It's just something that would collectively **** off everybody who bought the original and those that wanted the one character. It's a slap in the face as much as Amiibo Festival and Fed Force were... If you told people to stop complaining about those... Peh, hehehe.

It'd only piss off anyone who thinks they're entitled to that new content. You want the new content? You buy a Nintendo Switch and buy Smash 4 on it. Otherwise, don't.

Besides, wasn't there something about Nintendo having some sort of deal that if you owned the game on Wii U you get a discount? It works out.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

I think it's time for you to calm down LancerStaff when you are getting way too heated for this one topic. Like seriously.

You are only one reply away from being the first on my Ignore List. Not like it matters since your clear superiority complex over the Smash fandom is making you no better than the ones hurt by the ballot itself.

 

[Bananija]

Spoiler: My thought on Trump election.

I would have prefer Hillary over him, and Bernie over both. I hope that he won't as bad as everyone think he will and that America won't regret there choice.

I pretty sure they added the dual item thing in the MK8 port to Switch.

 

[AreJay25]

That was fake. The info was attributed to a reliable source, but she never actually said it.

Certainly nothing warranting calling them out.

Like ever other "pattern" that failed to come true? And how we don't even know if Splatoon's going to be a port?

Yes, even just a tiiiiny amount of new characters requires a ton of effort.

Would it even be worth it to attempt to grab all the old Wii U owners? Is that even Nintendo's goal with the port?

It'd only piss off anyone who thinks they're entitled to that new content. You want the new content? You buy a Nintendo Switch and buy Smash 4 on it. Otherwise, don't.

Besides, wasn't there something about Nintendo having some sort of deal that if you owned the game on Wii U you get a discount? It works out.

...And that's exactly why people stopped doing that?
