Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Wario Bros.]

Is anyone ready for the possibility of already going back to Smash speculation come next Thursday?

Can we handle it again so soon?

Are we al mentally prepared?

Will we all survive without killing one another with our own limbs?

Time will tell.

Whatever we'll get, it'll be a smaller hype train than the initial Smash 3DS/Wii U hype train had.

This is what started the whole problem with Mega Fug, it's only going to make things worse

Just be glad that the Primal Bros didn't get the same treatment. Because without their stones they'd be even more broken than Mega Fug.

Spoiler

Which is why using them without orbs is banned in balanced hackmons while every other Mega including Fug isn't.

Also, I've been a bit harsh on the Force Awakens and Rogue one, but to be fair, they still haven't done anything too bad yet. Especially considering some things the EU has done.Which thank goodness this stuff is no longer canon, but not the entirety of the EU has characters from it have still appeared in the clone wars and even Star Wars Rebels. And notice every thing on this list takes place after RotJ.

Spoiler

-IG-88 uploads its conscious to the Death Star II not too long before it blows up in hopes of taking over every droid in the galaxy. It plays tug of war with palatine over a single door to show that it has control over the death star.

-Bobba Fett was rescued from the Sarlacc Pit... But for a very weird reason. It was so he could be Dengar's best man at Dengar's wedding.

-Darth Vader's right glove holding significance and having a whole story revolving around it.

-Waru. The jello cult leader from another dimension.

-Palpatine's three eyed son.

--Chewbacca dies via an entire planet falling on him.

-The Vong. Because even though it's already a galaxy full of aliens, we still need the mysterious evil alien invader trope. Also, they're immune to force sensitivity and some force powers, because why not. You can also tell they're evil because they're dark, spikey, and have snakes and stuff.

-Agetha. I never really even heard of her before today and this is why I'm even making this post, while the other things on this list I already knew about. Agetha is pretty much a terrible Mary Sue creepy pasta character who has no real reason to exist other than to be teh stronkest en stah wahs. And even though Mortis, The Son, and The Daughter are canon, they aren't beings that exist like in the EU canon, they're metaphorical/avatars, they aren't real beings like how they are in the EU. They're personalities taken on by the force in force visions. Unlike Agatha who's a literal force and has characteristics of a generic creepypasta mary sue.

#TeamRowlett and #TeamLitten will probably tear each other apart over which Pokemon starter is more deserving in Smash IMO.

Meanwhile, the Ultra Beast supporters will be chilling because they know they are small.

And also can we please KILL Brash the Bear already....

 

[praline]

Am I gonna have to start defending Goku again?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So how do you talk to a girl who seems like she hates the world and doesn't want to talk to anyone

If they hate the world and doesn't wanna talk, dont try to talk to them

That will piss her off if you keep trying

 

[Deleted member]

She also says the Mario X Rabbids RPG is officially titled as "Rabbids Kingdom Battle"

If true, odd to exclude Mario in the title.

Even "Rabbids Mushroom Kingdom Battle" would have been a passable indication that it's related to Mario.

Im sure we'll be fine.


There are only so many things left to burn down after we destroyed the last country speculating.

#TeamRowlett and #TeamLitten will probably tear each other apart over which Pokemon starter is more deserving in Smash IMO.

I know decidueye is a ghost but you cant tear up something that doesnt exist

It's the entire smash fanbase VS like 3 litten fans. with me being one of them

> Kirby fans still want to buff Kirby to Universal

> Ignores that he struggled with weaker foes like Sectonia and Star Dream after his defeat of Magalor

Do people know what the definition of an outlier is anymore?

What does "Buff to Universal" mean?

I think I will.

I don't think we'll be going back so soon, but if we were to, I think I'd be much better, now that I've lived through the process once before.

Rules of Speculation:

Rule 1: Hope is for the weak
Rule 2: Dreams are okay though.
Rule 3: Deconfirmed isn't a real word
Rule 4: Go to bed, seriously.

Whatever we'll get, it'll be a smaller hype train than the initial Smash 3DS/Wii U hype train had.

Depends on how many newcomers we're promised/given and who is revealed as the starting newcomer hyper. Given the Wii U/3DS hype started with Villager and Mega Man. I'd imagine if there's more than 2 newcomers they'll start with some big guns to really hype things. So probably another wanted Nintendo newcomer and a new 3rd party.

 

[Pazzo.]

So how do you talk to a girl who seems like she hates the world and doesn't want to talk to anyone

Suggest some outside time.

Walks do wonders.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'm sure some facets of Mario will remain on the box no matter what. Mario is far more likely to sell the game after all. More so than the Rabbids ever could on their own merits.

The question that still remains is if Smash Switch actually exists; has it been confirmed?

If it does and we get an announcement on the 12th, however... I will be back to speculating, albeit not as much since my Winter Break ended a couple of days ago (and I tend to be lazy about posting on here anyway).

Just as long as we don't go through the mess that was the late days of speculation when the Smash Ballot was active, but still secret and hidden in terms of who the winners were, we'll be fine.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

What does "Buff to Universal" mean?

He's talking about some Kirby fans (most notably The Real Hal Coward) wanting to buff Kirby to Universal for his victory over Magalor (who displays universal feats with his reality warping in Another Dimension).

Which is unfortunately a massive outlier due to events in recent Kirby titles. It's the same reason why everything that happened for Sonic and Shadow in Sonic 06 feat wise is only exclusive to that game opposed to other Sonic titles.

Considering the ballot specified it'll be used for future installments in certain countries? That thing is sticking around. I'm sure we'll hear ''___ did very well in the ballot I'm sure. They're a shoo in!" (Shoe in rather, since no one really knows how spell that apparently.)

Saw this post (from a really good Mario blog, btw), speculating that this Samurai Mario render may be linked to the Switch game.

Nothing more than simple speculation, but Samurai Mario is a power up I never knew I wanted until now.

tbh it's less "people" and more just real cal

Still, if someone only heard of the title of the game, they wouldn't know it's related to Mario unless they did their research.

Moral of the story: Digimon stomps Pokemon in raw power and hax.

 

[praline]

I need a good idea for a name for my Pegasus Pokemon. It's a light/flying type. It's basically a big formidable yellow glowing pegasus with glowing energy wings.

It evolves from Unihorn a light type.

I think people tend to forget that Kirby is literally 8 inches high and all of the foes he fights are also miniature when you look at their size in comparison to him, as is the entire universe he resides in.

He's powerful in the context of his universe, but ONLY in the context of his universe (and other similarly miniature universes). You have to bend the rules to give him a fighting chance against anything that isn't miniature.

I'm normally the one thinking exactly that in the back of my mind when people bring him up, but since anything being anything less than top tier usually ends with "a normal person can kick it to death". . .on the other side of the leaf the bosses still aren't anything to sneeze at.

I mean, some of the major bosses are still roughly human sized with that in mind (hello, giant wasp with teleport spam!), and Dark Matter probably wouldn't just stop at corrupting little cute cuddly things.

You have to bend the rules when setting him up against things that would normally be in the same power level since they'd be too big for him to use his main ability on, but to avoid the inevitable pendulum swing where anything that isn't top tier is something you can kick to death, an ordinary human would probably still be messed up pretty bad by him either way.

Now META KNIGHT, that's an eight inch fast flying object with a supersonic blade the size of a butcher knife. He might arguably fare BETTER against the odd larger opponent because good luck actually hitting that before it stabs you in the face. At the very least, that's DEFINITELY something a normal person doesn't want to end up on the wrong end of because eight inches or not he's still not quite small enough for that to be laughable.

Mmmm... no. We know Kirby's universe is still our universe since Earth exists in it. Since Earth doesn't have any noticeable gravity difference from Popstar we can assume that things like Kirby smashing Popstar and Nightmare being able to blow chunks in the moon are comparable to, well, punching Earth in two and blowing up the moon.

Yes, that's true, but would they really talk about the Smash Ballot during the Switch Direct?

Honestly, I'd love for that to happen... however, Smash would need to be mentioned at some point during the direct, which is something I remain uncertain of. Don't get me wrong; I want another Smash game with new characters and I hope there is an announcement, but I'm right now neutral in whether we'll see it next week.

A lot of the stuff on my list does, like, to the point of the level that people parody. I wish I were joking. Here's the Darth Vader glove thing for instance.

Oh, and this is also where Palpatine's three eyed sun I refer to originates from.

Implying that it isn't just an alternate version of Earth in his universe. Without any other context, you can't assume the Earth we see in Kirby 64 is the exact same as actual Earth.

Because it's definitely not OUR universe...

Also, you can't assume anything about gravity in Kirby's universe, as it's different from game to game. There is literally no given context to it, it's different in accordance with each game and how it's supposed to play.

Nah, I don't think either of them are particularly impressive in the context of our world.

I mean, at the end of the day, I never interpreted the point of the Kirby series to be "KIRBY IS THE STRONGEST CHARACTER EVAR". Last I checked, it's a game where you play as a pink puffball who mostly has cute little powers but occasionally has convenient access to the odd super move (that's only super in the context of his universe).

Death Battle culture ruins everything, truly.

...I'm fairly certain the Kirby franchise is nothing like reality.

Even without that, here's an arbitrary saying to counter your arbitrary saying.

There's a pink marshmallow who can fly and suck in various creatures and gain their abilities as its own.

There's your note.

[Opossum]

Well I mean you can't really compare Kirby punching Popstar in half to punching Earth in half. We know nothing about what Popstar is composed of, or how its gravity affects the force of Kirby's punch. Hell Popstar could be hollow for all we know.

Been awhile since I've played a game that had pointless achievements.

Unless you were referring to Street Fighter x Tekken Pac-Man (which they creepier for some reason).
