Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

When you beat someone with Young Link, it's like, duh, it's the Hero of Time, of course he'll win, that's nothing special.

Beat someone with Toon Link, you're beating them with a baby faced kid with cat eyes wearing Grandma's homemade pajamas. It's demoralizing.

And isn't that half the fun?

That same kid can control the winds with a stick though. And he chooses not to use it.

lol I didn't mean it like that.

I think Shadow will be playable in some capacity anyway, whether it's an EF or a full character.

Yeah, could see Shadow happen.

Chaos Control as a Witch Time clone? :^)

Toon Link definitely feels more zoner-y this time around though. Like I've noticed more of an emphasis on one-hit quick moves.
Like his F-Smash for example looks to be changed from the hit twice attack he always had.

Maybe I should be Young Link.
(Side note I'm never gonna have a good answer for this.)

I didn't want to know that...

You should have warned be there was a big spoiler in that box...

well I mean... it was in a Spoiler box
You could of not opend it, thats what the spoiler box is made for

 

[ChikoLad]

Yeah, but he started to become his own thing. He can warp around, use the rocket shoes he has, Chaos Spear, etc.

He deserves more than just the Echo treatment.

But either way, Shadow's not impossible if he's not an AT.

But considering how they're kinda pressed for newcomer spaces this time (not LITERAL spaces but you know what I mean), I can see them making Shadow an Echo Fighter so they can ultimately get more characters in.

And like I said, Shadow has a history of being a Sonic clone to some degree.

Games where Shadow is a Sonic clone
-Sonic Adventure 2
-Sonic Heroes
-Sonic Forces

Games where Shadow is a unique character
-Sonic Battle
-Sonic and the Black Knight
-Sonic Chronicles

Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic '06 are sort of in between, he's kinda a semi-clone there.

Obviously Olympic Games and other such spin-offs exists but the only thing separating characters there is stats if even that so they don't matter. And Shadow usually is pretty similar to Sonic in those game anyway.

There's also the detail of Shadow being a clone of Sonic lore-wise. That puts him in a similar situation as Dark Pt, who is an Echo Fighter despite having plenty of moveset potential.

Their ranks had little in common for the most part. Some were friends, others bitter enemies, and most of them didn't know each other from prior to their selection at all. Most were pure of heart overall, but others were rotten down to the core. But they weren't chosen because of any common thread or cause to champion. Some could withstand any odds presented to them no matter how adverse, others weren't known to suffer adversity at all. Indeed, it seemed often that there was no rhyme or reason to their ilk at all.

But in each of them for good or ill burned a fire of determination hotter then most could dream of, and with that came their initial selection. Ascension. Much the same as they were before in good health, but when faced with critical danger now destined to transform into a solid object borne in their image, able to be revived by the touch of willful life. That was not all, of course. The change had warped their personalities in some ways, turning some more bloodlusted and a rare few more docile. It used to be more negative in influence than it is now, as a matter of fact, but after a threat to them all had gained extensive time from their bickering the discord imbued was dulled and the concord enhanced.

But above all, each one of their ilk held a song in their hearts, known before they even knew what they had become. The older ones knew many songs, but each generation had their own, one that was uniquely "theirs." To sing this song was to identify yourself to the others, to hear it was to know another was nearby. And on this day, one by one, a new song was heard by chosen old and new.

That's 300 words, which is. . .wonky. But that's a start!

Isn't Shadow older than Sonic?

 

[Ura]

Yo...

This is super duper grasping at straws and i'm well aware of it...

But someone on rAdvanceWars made a really interesting find from the Smash Invitational today about the series logos on TKbreezey's shirt (yes the shirt TKbreezy wore at the Invitational lol).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Advance_Wars/comments/8qn544/look_at_the_series_symbols_on_tkbreezys_shirt/

Take a look at the logo above the Animal Crossing one. It's very reminiscent of the Advance Wars logo and not just any logo of Advance Wars, the one most strongly associated with Andy's games. The Wars World Trilogy.

I ain't gonna say this confirms anything but my god if this turned out to be true...

I would literally be the happiest man alive lol.

You joke, but it might actually work

The angle it goes at might not be too terrible. At the very least it could help with quick punishes on ledge.

He's supposed to be but for some reason a lot of bios refer to him as a clone or dark incarnation of Sonic or some similar descriptor. Sonic lore is dumb.

On the other hand if that logo meant something else that i'm not aware of i'd feel like the biggest idiot in the world lol.

I mean, Shadow is at least 50 and Sonic isn't even a legal adult yet according to that lore.

So unless there's a Sonic game with time traveling as its plot, anything that says Shadow is a clone of Sonic is a misconception.

I don't need to diet though, since I walk everywhere. :v

And I'll never say no to cake, especially when its been made by my Nana.

How do you know that? Is it like something associated with the Smash community?

*prepares for excitement to be curbstomped *

 

[AreJay25]

You know, I just remembered an old theory I used to have.

Now that Pichu is back, in a game where rage is back, he might actually have some potential as a glass cannon.

He could still suck, but hey, I'm just putting it out there.

Wolf for low tier confirmed

 

[Deleted member]

I know I'm, like, the only one here that cares about this game but **** me if that's gonna stop me.
Found a gameplay video with off-screen footage, the important part is that I got a good look at the CSS

That's good round 20 slots right there. Why couldn't those top two slots be on that final 3-slot row is beyond me though.
The confirmed characters so far total up to 17

Spoiler

We know Gran Torino is very likely playable since there's a Story Mode mission screenshot with him as the "mission target" and All for One too due to his oresemce in the boxart and tease from the E3 trailer. So that leaves the question: who's the final fighter?

And there's another thing, that last character IS a villain, AfO's slot is obviously just below All Might and the other Heroes go in all the remaining slots, but that leaves the bottom right slot open. But who is that? Nomu is not needed due to no coverage of S1, Kurogiri would be next to Shigaraki if he was in, Muscular would make sense due to his probable boss fight but why would he be held off? Same for other LoV members, none of the rest really stand out on their own enough to justify being held as a secret.

Finally caught up! Holy carp Octo Expansion is tomorrow! WHOO!

The Invitational was really sweet too.

 

[vaanrose]

Anybody spot the Isabelle Assist anywhere?

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Isn't Shadow older than Sonic?

Yes, but there's a fan theory that Gerald Robotnik based Shadow off the Hidden Palace mural in Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Hence why Shadow is similar in appearance to Super Sonic.

That, and as Chiko said, Sonic Lore is dumb.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Guy in the reddit thread gave a source for the jacket. If I remember correctly.

Nope, you get a penalty, cause I'm a bias judge. :v

That's no fan theory. That is straight up canon as to why Shadow is a hedgehog.

I cant ever say no to cake even though Im already overweight. I love cake

 

[Wario Bros.]

You know, if you want to get technical, there's one fighter that didn't return: Master Hand

Melee glitch or not, he was still playable :V

don't take this seriously plz

 

[ChikoLad]

Either way, I win if Shadow is a normal character or an Echo Fighter.

If he's a proper new character, I actually got a character I care about and I will push to make him the newcomer main for this game.

If he's an Echo Fighter, he's another flavour of Sonic's moveset that I'm already familiar with and I can just swap between the two depending on my mood. And even as an Echo Fighter, I can think of cool ways to make him a little different. Like make his jab combo finisher the Crescent Moon Kick from Shadow the Hedgehog and it launches upward instead of sideways, or let him do his combo thing from Sonic '06 after landing a Homing Attack.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

Well yeah, its cake. Who could ever say no to cake?

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I never thought we'd be seeing Daisy getting in before Waluigi


Now we need Waluigi in and we got ourselves a Mario Party 3 mini game

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

That's no fan theory. That is straight up canon as to why Shadow is a hedgehog.

I don't recall hearing anything official about that (game continuity at least). I know the Artifical Chaos' in SA2 were based on Chaos when Gerald made then, which was part of what made the Super Sonic mural theory seemed credible.

 

[praline]

I winder what Young Link’s final smash is gonna be. Probably the same as Toon Link I imagine.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I might have to catch everything I missed at a later time. After the direct ended I had to continue studying.

Still holding out for Bandana Dee, Isabelle, and at least one DK newcomer.

Might as well say the same for a Pokemon newcomer which I'll honestly be very surprised if we don't get.

 

[vaanrose]

Nope. Not yet, at least.

We Echo Now

Isabelle's appearance in MK8 already sort of solidified this for me. :V
