Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Aetheri]

Still working on Xenoblade myself actually...at least making some progress here and there...

Also need to get back to ALttP...haven't really played since getting to the Skull Forest...not stuck, just stopped playing...was around the time I sort of faded away from RPG's or adventures and just went on a huge Metroid kick...(aaaaand still have to finish Hunters as well )

I say all this while I have playthroughs of Wind Waker HD and Minish Cap going...

plus I started drawing more often, which eats up spare time for gaming...not that I'm complaining since I really needed to get back into drawing...

 

[Champ Gold]

So I finished the SFV Cinematic Story Mode.

Quick and dirty thoughts below.

Spoiler

Overall, it wasn't a good story mode, it wasn't a bad story mode, it was just a story mode

Roman pls

Spoiler

I did enjoy how much development Karin got as well and Charlie was kinda misused IMO.

Also comparing it to most fighter's story modes, it's alright. It's pretty much Brawl's SSE but shorten to 3-4 hours instead of 10.

It's not as engaging as Neatherrelms fighters story modes or as bat**** stupid as Soul Calibur post 3 or an absolute nothing like DoA5 but it's alright. I think it needs a second one

You hit the bullseye with that SSE comparison, it really did feel like that for me.

Hopefully we see more because it'd suck to wait till SFVI for any sort of continuation.

 

[TipperTheScales]

I've started to hit "the wall" in the Smash RPG.

I need to get my "Team Level" to Level 25 to go to the next world, in both the Normal and Hard versions.

On the World-7 Hard Map, I have a few more Mystery Blocks to collect. I need to 3-Star two missions to get them, and the loot they hold (usually very good loot). However, my party is just short of being able to do it. I probably could do it with a bit of luck, but the game isn't letting me play those missions anymore. I'm assuming you can't play the same mission too many times in a day or something.

And my resources are getting low, and upgrades are getting more and more expensive. I just gathered a few resources for Mega Man and pumped loads of upgrades into him, but I still need to have other characters catch up.

I should be fine tomorrow though, when I get the login bonuses and stuff like that. There's looooads of periodic free stuff you can get.



Sure, you can use them.

Hard mode missions have a cap of three plays per day iirc

Are you struggling with running out of energy (blue lightning currency)? If you need to check your backpack (the bottom right most icon on the main screen) and you can use batteries for 50 energy per battery use (or spend gems for 120 which isn't really worthwhile after a while)


In terms of upgrades I usually try to keep my front 3 (Luigi/Mega/Rosa) decently powered up attack wide but I always try and keep my entire team evenly levelled as close to max as possible, mainly because there's always going to be some enemy or a Smash character who pokes the back line. Try repositioning characters to avoid certain ones getting hurt

Also lucky you getting DDD and Toad

Have you tried the treasure Lakitu rounds, the underground pipe matches or Bowser's castle rounds? (Or basically any of the side missions?) those are always fun for resource grinding. Sadly most don't contribute to team levelling since you need to expend energy to gain team experience (opposed to character experience)

Also if any of you guys need help with the Chinese hit me up with PM or tag me with an image and I'll do my best to translate

I feel like any story related stuff in Arcade mode (if they ever do one lol) should be used to resolve dangling plot threads (I.e Is a Delta Blue Unit w/ Cammy leading the dolls going to happen, wtf is Ed's purpose, etc).

Also about Bison in the story mode...

Spoiler

They had the perfect opportunity to use Bison's battle damaged alt costume after Nash blew himself up trying to kill Bison, but nope

 

[PushDustIn]

If you haven't seen it, @Con0rrrr and I debate if Sakurai should come back to direct the next Smash. It's on Source Gaming, with a list of translations/ articles that we reference. Minor swearing in the video, so make sure your guardian approves of you watching it.

Good thing you can change story costumes.

But that implies I'd play the mode again.

True lol.

One thing I thought was pretty interesting about the Dolls (Santamu, Satsuki and Février specifically) is that parts of their moveset are reminiscent of attacks from other Capcom games and implement them in a way that is similar, yet unique to them.


Santamu and Zero:

I wonder if they will do a similar sort of thing for other characters or dolls in the future...

[Strider_Bond00J]

With regards to SFV - I've made my decision/stance - Come February 14 2017 (Anniversary of launch) and through til July 2017, if Capcom have been able to add in Arcade Mode and Player VS CPU Modes and over 25+ characters plus more still to come if they plan to do so between this designated time period,then I'll pick up the game second hand. If by then and none of those have ever been resolved, then I'm saying good bye to Street Fighter and leaving my trust in justice.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The fact that Mercer is almost exactly doing his McCree voice (without an accent) ruins my immersion.

This video is a chain of coincidence. Me and my friends mention how impossible that Polnareff pose is, they show that clip, you mention Overwatch, and Johnny's doing an Overwatch review next

At the rate they're going, I'd imagine there would be 24 characters at most by time July 2017 comes around (thats going off the assumption Juri is coming out next month and not at the end of this one and they go by a similar release schedule as this one).

And I'm sure Capcom will have an arcade mode and PvC mode by July next year as well.

Hopefully.

Yeah I know about the batteries and I have a few but I like to save them for when I am able to progress through the story, or for Arena medal grinding. If I'm stuck at Team Level locks or something I just sort of go with the natural amount of energy and take breaks since I don't want to burn myself out on the game.

In terms of levels, everyone is even, but Rosalina, Mega Man, and Luigi have much higher stats from equipment upgrades and the stuff under the Bully icon, plus Rosalina gained a Star Rank upgrade. Luigi is still playing catch up himself and seems to have weaker attack and defense than the other two.

I do the bonus stuff if I can't progress but those have limits too and you can only do so much at once.

Also thanks, I might actually PM you some screens of text I'm curious about.

Yeah I'm starting to slow down a bit now that my team level is at 34 and experience is harder to come by, and I'm keeping an eye on my coins since they're around 60-70 thousand only after splurging on the green armour for Rosa/Mega/Luigi and essentially anything else costly (keeping Charmander decently leveled and other miscellaneous stuff). (For future reference W = 万 = x10000 and not 10^6)

I drew Falcon on my free gold pull which is cool but I really want Wario so I have a second pair up

I have to say, the fact that he isn't angry, but just dissapointed, basically tell what Mighty No.9 is:
It's not a bad game, it's a dissapointing game.
And for some, it's worse than a bad one.
But hey, atleast, it's better than nothing, right?

Attack on Titan anime season 2 hype! Will air in Spring 2017. Cast and main staff return for the new season.

With both Blue Exorcist and Attack on Titan returning in 2017 makes it a year to look forward to when it comes to anime.

Of note, those were among the first anime series I've watched, so it's great for me to see them return.

Most likely one of them is Assassin's Creed.

If the BG&E2 rumours are true, regarding it being exclusive to the NX, then that is probably the other one.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ah, One-Punch Man. I binge-watched it last year (or earlier this year, I don't remember).

Fun show, but I don't feel it's worth the massive praise it got.

Makes for an amusing satire of Japanese action shows, but I think it would have been better if the characters weren't so flat and one-dimensional.

Perhaps the manga and the original webcomic it's based on improve on that regard since the anime doesn't cover everything, as far as I know, so the later arcs may have a depth that's often lacking in initial story arcs.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Three huh? Interesting, I wonder what the other two are...

Watch Dogs 2? New Rayman? New Assassin's Creed?

Two of those seem the likelier possibilities.

If anything, it means third-party support is a thing for NX. Hopefully, it lasts throughout the console's lifetime, unlike the Wii U, which did have solid third-party support in the beginning, but they quickly jumped ship as the console under-performed compared to the competition.

Hopefully, Nintendo won't repeat the same mistakes. And that includes having better marketing.

And yeh, I agree with you on One Punch Man. I binged watched it all last week in a day.

The Clash of the Titans arc.

My Hero Academia 2 can't come soon eough too.

The Clash of the Titans arc.

My Hero Academia 2 can't come soon eough too.

It's going to be worth the wait.

Except for a few moments, the arcs that follow those covered by the first season are superior in many ways.

It's going to be great and those who haven't been following the manga are in for a hell of a ride.

Boku no Hero Academia is similar in that it also gets a lot better following what happens in the first season.

Well, last night was weird

Spoiler: irl stuff

Turns out a friend of mine has a crush on me, but that wasn't the problem, the problem was my other friends acting like a bunch of fifth graders and leaving us two alone on the yard to try to make us kiss each other... and then trying to spy on us to see what would happen
The whole thing was awkward as we just stood there for some minutes because we were both too shy to actually do anything
We did end up kissing though, because our friends just wouldn't stop pestering us about it

I still have to see how things will go from here, I just didn't know how to react since this never happened to me before

So it turns out Attack on Titan season 2 really was delayed until 2017. At first, I felt dismayed that it was getting pushed back, but now that I think about it, I think this will be better in the long run. Releasing season 2 later means that we won't have to wait as long for season 3 come out, and who knows, they could include the current manga arc in season 2 since it will probably be finished before spring (though I'm leaning more to the possibility that the current arc will probably happen in season 3).

The first poster for season 2 is looking pretty sweet as well.

Spoiler

Looking forward to see...

Spoiler: Attack on Titan manga spoilers

Chapter 50 animated as well as the entire Clash of the Titans arc. Even some the later events in the Uprising arc should be hype-worthy to see animated.

Well would you look at that.
I asked for a wolf over Fox model and I have received.
Also Snake mod over Ike with Voice

 

[Wolfie557]

Bought Life is Strange episode 1 on Steam today.
Had no money for all 5 episodes. Kinda regret only topping up by £5 today.

If I like it I'll buy the rest. I'll start it after I'm done with MM 3D & AC4.
I also decided not to buy Birthright yet.... Have too many games in backlog rn. It can wait. Might buy it with Pokemon and/or Dragon Quest

It's interesting to see the progress being made on Wolf since this could probably give us somewhat of an idea on how he was created for Brawl since we do know he was made using Fox as a base, even still retaining Fox's idle and rapid kick animations (albeit unused).

The most notable things that he actually kept Fox's clapping animation and sleeping animations so in that regard we are there with some animations. And if there comes a point soon enough were move set swaps are possible.
We can get:
= Down Smash
=Neutral air, Up Smash and Dash Attack
=Down air.
I am very interested to see were Wolf is going to go and maybe people will give him an even more diverse move-set to make him more like what Roy got in this game.

If you haven't seen it, @Con0rrrr and I debate if Sakurai should come back to direct the next Smash. It's on Source Gaming, with a list of translations/ articles that we reference. Minor swearing in the video, so make sure your guardian approves of you watching it.

*skims*

I think the problem is the assumption that a new director would give everyone their personal fantasies.

A director could replace Sakurai, but that wouldn't automatically mean that we would get Melee HD or whatever else people fantasize about. We could just as easily get a game that makes Brawl look like like a competitive holy grail by comparison.

And to address the comments, people's widely varied opinions about the roster will mean no fantasy will be met there, no matter how kind or cruel.

A new developer is a wild card. You simply can't debate "should Sakurai direct the next Smash" as "if Sakurai doesn't direct the next Smash, we get Melee HD." A new developer could be more casual than Sakurai. A new developer could be more competitive friendly to a degree but still exclude wavedashing and L-cancelling because they have more accessible advanced play options in mind. A new director may want to cut Captain Falcon for being irrelevant or somehow find a way to keep most of the roster while adding 20 new characters at once.

Sakurai makes a lot of mistakes, but each person's definition of "mistake" is completely different. Sakurai will eventually have to pass the torch one way or another, and I think he likely will for next Smash, but the idea of a successor makes me nervous because for all his flaws, we know Sakurai, and we know he can do some things right even if it's not all of them. Everyone else has personal fantasies, and I'm just sitting here going, "What's the new guy going to do? What hated directions will he take the series in?"

IMO, the change is going to happen, but I'm worried that we might be better off with the devil we know.

People would still complain one way or the other even if they get what they want.

Like how the feminists slammed Linkle for being a sexist Ms. Male character despite Nintendo (actually Koei) answering the fans' wishes. Yes, I technically know that Linkle, partially based on Link, is nothing like him nor is she a part of the Hero's descended blood.

Well, they answered it wrong anyway. And you just explained why. Linkle is not a female Link, she's just a person pretending to be the hero, being delusional and all. When people say female Link, that's 100% what they mean, no exceptions.

But really, since it's very clear Link will always be male in canon no matter what, it's really not worth going into anymore. Just give us a female playable choice or campaign in a canon normal Zelda game and call it a day. And IMO, I'd rather the character felt unique. Zelda has tons of magical skills, Sheik is far more of a ninja than a regular fighter, etc. HW proves it can be done right, while still keeping the idea of having tons of items that everyone can use.
