Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[A Distant Demon]

On the third day of Smashmas Sakurai gave to me. . .

This makes the third day in a row someone has returned since the smash leaks. lol

 

[Champ Gold]

What I've noticed about a lot of people's Smash list for new characters is always the same like it's always the same 6 characters. That's fine and dandy but you guys made the same choices for over last year and I hate to be the Debbie Downer but you do realize everything is different. Its why I don't even make predictions for characters anymore. We all suspect K. Rool, Wolf and Inklings but we didn't get them last year, but instead characters we wrote off and never have them a chance (except for @Fumi-Chan! and he's the only one that could say that)

So how long until this Spider-Man Homecoming trailer is supposed to drop? I have no idea when Jimmy Kimmel is supposed to start since we don't air his show here

Where it's early in the morning for you guys, it'll be late at night for us.



Soon in other words, hope you don't have to do anything tomorrow

Oh, hey, there's a new round of stupid Smash Bros rumors going around, complete with a new group of "TOTALLY LEGIT INSIDERS WHO ARE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!!1111". Better check SmashBoards and see what's up there.

Huh? A notification? Haven't been here in ages, someone tagged me in something? Let's see what it is....



.....jesus christ.

Welcome back buddy, all we need now is @True Blue Warrior and we're all set

Welcome back

At leas I get to download the awesome mods vaanrose is making for Smash wii U.

His Ravio Link is pretty good and one my favorites.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

...And now @Burb has returned, welcome back man.

Not gonna lie, it's kinda weird seeing these inactive users pop up again

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Smash 4 character speculation... It's back again... and so are all of you.


The ride never ends.

Now if only KingBro1 and rdg121193 came to post here... Oh, wait!

 

[FalKoopa]

It really feels like the old days again, seeing so many old names pop up.

Never talked to you, @Burb, but welcome all the same.

 

[N3ON]

You know you've been here a while when even the "old names" are "new names" to you. xd

 

[Deleted member]

I still remember one of vaanrose's last posts on this thread before leaving

I'm out, lol.

He'll always be remembered as the guy who leaked crazy taboo master core super hars

I guess "fanboying" isn't the right term here
I think it's more of "worshipping"

Wonder what's going over the newer users' heads...
"Why the hell did everyone start acting like Jesus showed up?"

 

[Champ Gold]

Now if only KingBro1 and rdg121193 came to post here... Oh, wait!

rdg is still a massive loser

In my eyes Inklings are more a case of Splatoon being too, ahem, fresh during Smash 4's timeframe but the extreme magnitude of Splatoon's success as of now making them much more reasonable than during the Wii U/3DS DLC wave where they didn't even have a game released for the entire base game and a chunk of the Ballot's timeframe.

Heck, I got annoyed during the first period of time people started begging for Inklings because I felt like it was jumping the gun since no one even knew how the game would do and thus whether Inklings would even really stand a fair chance. 4 million copies later and I figure the squids have proven their point, though.

That said, I feel that there's going to be at least one character directly influenced by the Ballot added to the port, and I don't expect Inkling to have been the second most voted for character in the slightest simply by virtue of the series not releasing at the start of the Ballot. While something mundane could easily happen, there's also a fairly good possibility of a curveball being thrown, especially if there really are only two more characters (or two more "new" characters).

I came here a few years ago, normally I just lurked. But he was usually the only one with common sense...even if I didn't necessarily agree with him.

And it's in a mostly joking manor over worshipping.

And they should have joined the cool kids club earlier

 

[Wario Bros.]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Looks like a certain late night show host couldn't hold his excitement from just that one show.

 

[Kurri ★]

Someone posted this earlier, but here it is again in English

They didn't get a new voice actor for Sora right? It's the same guy from KH1 and 2 just even older now?

 

[Autumn ♫]

More people are coming back? That's cool.

inb4 @ChronoBound comes back

 

[Aurane]

Alolan Marowak is currently #10 in Gen 7 Pokebank OU Usage Stats, weighted with a 1695 Baseline.

Expectation vs Reality at its finest.

Didn't 2.5 just come out? I don't get this 2.8 thing.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

We never did find out who the others on the ballot were did we? What were Bayo's rankings again?

I can see maybe one but outside of that everything else is up in the air.

Hell, at this point I EXPECT Heihachi Mishima as a playable fighter in Smash now

 

[praline]

She was #1 of the applicable. I imagine Goku was the true #1

 

[A Distant Demon]

2.5 is Kingdom Hearts 2's special edition, Birth By Sleep, and I believe the cutscenes for Recoded


2.8 is a new game, but also includes Dream Drop Distance and Unchained's story.

 

[Kurri ★]

Didn't 2.5 just come out? I don't get this 2.8 thing.

2.8 is yet another remaster, this time of Dream Drop Distance from the 3DS. However it also comes with a brand new chapter to Birth By Sleep which not only aims to add more to the story but also gives you a feel of what Kingdom Hearts III would play like, provided there's not any drastic changes.

They should just release 3 already.

No, as in where did she rank? I think she was no. 1 in Europe but where did she rank elsewhere?

Top 5 in NA*

No mention of Japan

This is just adorable to watch, honestly.

One of us. One of us. One of us.

At this point my expectations are leaning against any more third parties for now, although there's no real reason for it.

I just get the feeling that with the port Nintendo might want to pick their own characters as additions for convenience's sake and then just play up all the third parties they added in the Wii U version. I'm not sure how they'll handle their marketing, but playing up Ryu and especially Cloud seems like something that would be low risk and high reward since a lot of casuals might not have paid attention to the DLC era.

They splurged on mainstream third parties before, now I can see them trying to convince their core crowd to purchase the game a second time while using what they already have to woo casuals that never bought it in the first place.

For some reason I'm imagining the Japan list was nothing but the cast list of One Piece, followed by Goku.
As for America, most of you are American, you tell me.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I'll just fix your post to fit it then

For some reason I'm imagining the NA list was nothing but the cast list of Dragon Ball Z, followed by Shrek

Goku, Shrek, Harambe, Bayonetta.

Nice, an English version, thanks! And I think it's still the same voice actor.

 

[Pazzo.]

Harambe wasn't a thing yet.

...

I hope.

 

[N3ON]

Goku, Shrek, Harambe, Bayonetta.

Choices of decreasing quality.


jk bayonetta i love you as an acquaintance

 

[praline]

Harambe wasn't a thing yet.

...

I hope.

It wasn't. I was just making a joke.

Plus I assume it would happen if the ballot were going on right now.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm still curious as to who managed to have more votes than Bayonetta, but wasn't "negotiable" or "realizable". Not that I expect Sakurai or Nintendo to reveal who those characters were.

Goku, Shrek, Harambe, Bayonetta.

IIRC Harambe didn't become a meme until after the ballot closed.

EDIT: Never mind. You were joking.

 

[AreJay25]

Harambe wasn't a thing yet.

...

I hope.

Harambe was killed in May, so yeah.
