Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Jaedrik]

I hope he can continue on a new channel

Here it is! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1fxtM30sVDlUbwzg3YZpA/featured
:D

Edit: it seems to be Chinese scammers that've hijacked it. Since I'm of a conspiratorial mindset, I'm entertaining the idea that they're Nintendo-hired hitmen.

Little mini vent.

Spoiler

>Moderately popular Smash YouTuber has some Rosalina videos
>All seem like crappy, generic parody videos using the monotone Microsoft Sam voice or something similar
>One video is titled "My Wet Dream" and it's literally just him putting Rosalina in Cruel Smash, breaking her shield, and letting the Miis beat her up
>Him and others are flooding the comments section with comments regarding how much they'd love to see Rosalina get molested

And people act like I'm exaggerating when I say "the Smash fanbase is cancerous and ruins everything".

Stuff like that is honestly part of why I stopped playing Smash. Can't enjoy the game when I know I could be playing with those kind of people. :\

Unless they are the majority (which they aren't), I can't really agree to that. You can always limit yourself to the part of the fanbase you like.

Nice. And I think Nintendo's Ninjas would probably have issued a takedown notice rather than use these dirty tactics. I hope so, at least.

Rest in peace, extended music.

Cant watch the video but just going to give an early "****" (it's in all caps for the record)

I cant not have extended music. (hope this didnt just **** up my music playlist )

Oh no. It doesn't. It just adds in advertisements.

Especially considering when his channel is none profit

At first I wasn't all that interested in the game, but it definitely looks like it'd be a fun little platformer...

WELL, the modified descriptions do say that the copyright holders are getting the ad money, so there's some motivation right there!
Edit: AND, if the Chinese scammers are getting the money, that could be a pretense for plausible deniability on Nintendo's part. "What? They were making money off of our (and other's) stuff, so we had to take it down!"

I never said that the majority of the fanbase are specifically like that.

But the majority of the fanbase is cancerous in some way.

Just to varying degrees and in different ways.

Smash fanbase is like a melting pot of toxicity.

Them ruining things is objectively true though. Characters like Rosalina, Corrin, Bayonetta, etc, didn't have these noticeable hate bandwagons before they got into Smash, which shows that there is a direct link between Smash and the image of a character to the general public. If a subset of the Smash community has a problem with a certain character (speculation obsessors, competitive, non-competitive), then that influences to a degree how the character is received, even if, as a character, their portrayal has not changed in any way.

In fact, the term "Nintendo's Lightning" didn't exist before Rosalina was revealed for Smash. As in, it was literally never searched on Google or mentioned or anything like that, before that day.

Adventure attacks Elise and she dodges both of his 58% hits
I fail to kill him on the next turn and he targets her again and she dodges yet again both of his hits
She would have died if he had hit at least one of those attacks
Lady Luck was on my side this time

It's apparently been leaked that there will be a Sonic Humble Bundle (likely this month).

I'm pretty sure you know that anything that becomes very popular naturally attracts haters. That is certain. Her inclusion in Smash and her tier placements were the just the catalysts.
As I see it, it's not a direct link between them and Smash, but between them and general visibility.

While I won't deny that those poisonous elements exist in the Smash community, and that they are quite visible, if you know the ways of the internet, you shouldn't let them ruin something for you.

Oh, that's a shame. I often listened the music on their channel.

Reminds me of when Vinesauce Joel's account got hijacked.

 

[Ura]

I'm getting Moon as we have only seen two exclusive Pokemon and currrently Lunala>Solgaleo
I don't care much about version exclusives since I'll be Nuzlocking it and if I really want a certain Pokemon I can just trade my Lv9 Zekrom for it in the GTS or with my friends
Also, after watching the GX analysis, I wonder if they'll reference Johto as much as they did with Kanto in Kalos
Mega Feraligatr when?

I'd be super hyped if they did another Pokemon Origins OVA for the Johto-saga. Gen 2 is my favorite Gen of all so I would fanboy all over this. Especially getting to see Silver in an Anime seeing as the main-series Anime decided to omit him sans a small cameo. Would probably take more episodes to do but it would be worth it.

Q1 2017.
Looks like my 2016 game list just got shorter.

Don't we all feel this way? Unless Cresh comes to saves the day.

Spoiler

Provided his game isn't arse this time round.

If that is true, my opinion of them will nosedive really quickly.

I'm none too pleased with their draconian region locking and aggressive IP protection, and that only adds fuel to the fire.

This is looking good. Hoping this is the only delay the game gets.

FFXII is getting a remaster on PS4.

About time.

Pretty random moment to reveal it though.

Top comment simply says: "Alright". haha.

I think it won't be as buggy as last time and will be a better game overall but I don't think it will be a GOTY contender or anything.

****ing had the worst day of my life. Bike broke down a lot, gender therapy had some added bull****, my preordered amiibo wasn't available, I'm in pain from a bike accident and I nearly got run over by a ******** lorry driver

Oh that's quite horrible. Tho as the worst day of your life, it's gotta be a pretty good life so far.

While I won't deny that those poisonous elements exist in the Smash community, and that they are quite visible, if you know the ways of the internet, you shouldn't let them ruin something for you.

There is a difference between hate and "it's now socially acceptable to make **** jokes (which are never funny or clever in any context) about this character and to target people who play the character".

And my point is that I am bothered that a character being in Smash and being even half decent competitively means they are hated, should be accepted as natural and normal. Unless the majority of the fanbase and competitive community are literally 5 year olds, this should not be accepted as normal behaviour, much less encouraged like it often is.

Also the "community shouldn't ruin it for you" is not a valid argument with Smash. That is a fairly thoughtless and non-sensical argument in this context. Smash is inherently a social, community-driven game, to the point where a character was literally voted into the game's roster by the community. Other games I like, such as Sonic, have things I detest in their fanbases. But even if the entire Sonic fanbase were literal nazis, I could still enjoy Sonic games because they are primarily single-player experiences - it's more about the characters and worlds and the gameplay, than the community. However, Smash 4 especially, did not even make an effort to have a compelling single-player, so you can't enjoy much in this game on your own. You need to have people to play with, online or offline. Either way, being a fan of the game REQUIRES interacting with it's wider community unless you have a really close group of friends you can enjoy games with. Which not many people will have unless they are still in school or something. Not every part of the world is a melting pot for common gaming interests.

If it's not for playing with people, you still also need to keep up with the Smash community for things like the Smash Ballot in the past, or things like balance changes, since Nintendo doesn't offer official patch notes. Then if you have an interest in playing the game competitively, that may come from a love of the mechanics (in my case anyway), but I am required to interact with the community in order to actually play competitively. I need to practice with people, play against people at tournament, and watch streams and keep up with the latest techs and combos. But if doing so results in me being targeted for the character I play, or means I have to listen to "jokes" on a video or stream that are in extremely poor taste, then why would this stuff NOT "ruin the game" for me?

I don't play Smash anymore mostly because I don't have anyone to play with locally and the actual online infrastructure is not up to snuff. But I'd be lying if I said the community had nothing to do with it. Because even if I attend tournaments and what not, I will have to interact with the community. And what fun that will be, being a Rosalina and Sonic main.

If I had contact with my French family today, then it'd have been the day I'd probably have drowned myself in a lake out of frustration

Don't say that.

There are no good lakes in the Netherlands to drown yourself in and the last place I want to be found dead is the Ijsselmeer.

The new signature matches my current Google+ avatar well.

Just as little warning, do not Google "Mara" and "Shin Megami Tensei" in the same sentence if you are too curious.

EDIT: Do not post any pictures of him here either.

If you've watched their videos, you'd know they've been kinda poking fun at Watch Dogs for awhile.

I meant that it is possible to block out some of the noise, unless you know such people in real life. But looks like your mind is set. Up to you.

Mara is overrated. That scrub is useless after you spam Bufula on him enough times.

Now Beelzebub on the other hand is a powerhouse. Death Flies for life!

People don't remember Mara for being ha-er... difficult. People remember it because it's an actual ****ing giant green penis with tentacles

So, I apparently am starting to get, or already have, a stomach ulcer

Trying to figure out how/ why I came upon this "ulcers are often linked to stress"

Perfect, my work really IS causing me mental AND physical health problems

 

[Aetheri]

Oh man I completely forgot that Hunters got released to Wii U's VC a couple days ago...

Though I currently have no funds on my account which could be a good reason why I'd forget...but gonna have to pick up an eshop card at some point so I purchase it...

From what I remember its actually a fairly decent price...

Aren't ulcers caused my infections? You should see a doctor.

Also, after watching the GX analysis, I wonder if they'll reference Johto as much as they did with Kanto in Kalos
Mega Feraligatr when?

Hopefully not as much since Kalos could be a bit much when it came to its love for Kanto, plus it would be a good idea to balance the region love out since this is an anniversary game celebrating Pokémon as a whole.

Mega Feraligatr would be interesting to see, from both a design and competitive perspective.

The game looks amazing, you can tell they've put a lot of effort into it since we last saw it. A bit disappointed that it's gotten delayed, but if this is any indication, it'll be all the better for it.

"...As over 30 of your favorite characters!"

That is JUST short of a lie, guys. God what a letdown.

 

[Aetheri]

All DS games cost 10 bucks on VC

Ok, a set price for all the games from the DS, I suppose it makes sense...though I wasn't sure because physical copies always vary...especially if they're used...

Anyway after this that'll be all three games I was hunting for in my possession at some form....and now I'm reminded once again how I'm procrastinating hard on Xenoblade...

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

That is JUST short of a lie, guys. God what a letdown.

After two games with no newcomers they finally add several to this one... and all of them are limited to one event.

Not to mention seven of the characters are exclusive to 3DS version, and one to Wii U version.

[Deleted member]

Jfc, people don't exaggerate when they say Kinshi Knight is complete garbage
Shigure promoting to a Falcon Knight would get bigger bonuses on everything but Skl(which was only a 3 stat difference)
I still went for Kinshi though, because I need more Bow users, for those skills(Air Superiority for chapter 24 is a big help) and I just prefer its design and animations over FK's

Can't wait for it to look worse than the first

Sorry to hear that but as it was said before, if it was really the worst day of your life, then it has been pretty good so fad
But we all have those days where we almost die, so go get some rest or find something to relieve your stress

For those who are curious, Mara is an actual penis monster

Pfft, what's the problem with googling that? It's not like I've never see--
OH MY ****ING GOD it has a mouth????

Hopefully not as much since Kalos could be a bit much when it came to its love for Kanto, plus it would be a good idea to balance the region love out since this is an anniversary game celebrating Pokémon as a whole.

I just hope it's not something like COPYING THE SAME ****ING MAP
Just give me Mega Johto starters and have some references to it
Maybe having a Gym Leader for a cameo or something
