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

[AwesomeAussie27]

Nightmare was the winning character for the Soul Calibur poll. Ivy earned her spot as the second most popular character, with both Mitsurugi and Sophitia in last.

This next one is all about the Tales franchise and I went with the four most popular Tales protagonists. The choices are Lloyd Irving, Cless Alvein, Leon Magnus, and Yuri Lowell.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Yeah, that Special Spiral is inheritable due to the number. Which means that now there is another skill to be afraid of. Like, sure the fact that it can't go with Vantage and there is no Vantage seal yet is good. But it gives Slaying weapon characters a lot of power by making skills like Ignis and Glacies quick to use, makes AoE attacks very dangerous and the fact that it can go with Ranged units. Basically, the only thing that's unconfirmed so far is that it may be an Infantry-only Skill, but if it's not, that would make Horse Emblem, Especially Reinhardt, very dangerous.

It's actually pretty terrifying on how much potential Special Spiral has.

Silvia is literally Green Sailor Moon and you can't tell me otherwise.

Dude, Lewyn looks amazing. So glad he seems to live up to the hype in Heroes. I was worried about another Canas or Tobin situation.

Also Ethlyn is a Tempest Trial reward.

She's a Staff Cav.
If she comes with Wrathful/Dazzling, then she'll be pretty useful in F2P Guides.

 

[Moydow]

I'm looking forward to the free Ethlyn more than anyone on the banner, just to see if she comes with any useful staff skills to fodder. :p

Lewyn is cool, but even though FE4 is one of my favourite games in the series, I'm not sure I'll pull on this banner too much. Not really anything too interesting for me in terms of skills, except for Special Spiral, but the B slot is competitive enough already that I won't miss it. Might just roll a few greens at most.

Lilina with Forblaze, Death Blow 3, Blazing Flame, Special Spiral 3 and Heavy Blade 3 Seal:

-+ATK Lilina = 40 ATK
-+ATK Lilina with Forblaze = 54 ATK
-+ATK Lilina with Forblaze and Death Blow 6 = 66 ATK
-+ATK Lilina with Forblaze, Death Blow 6 and ATK Tactics = 72 ATK
-+ATK Lilina with Forblaze, Death Blow 7 and ATK Tactics = 74 ATK

You know, when not even a Distant Defense 6 +RES, -non-HP Micaiah or a +RES, -non-HP Jagen with Berkut's Lance+ with RES Forge and Distant Defense 3 Seal(also with Forblaze Chill Res 3 due to highest RES) can survive a 72 ATK Lilina that uses Blazing Flame and when a +RES Jagen with Berkut's Lance+ with RES Forge and Distant Defense 6 can't survive a 74 ATK Lilina with Blazing Flame......yikes. And with how much ATK she has and due to likely getting rid of any Guard 3's effect, she's guaranteed to activate Heavy Blade which will bring Blazing Flame down to 2 which then gets down to 0 due to Special Spiral.

>Close Alvein

Damn dude.

Anyways Cress isn't really that popular at all. He didn't even crack Top 30 in the last Tales of character poll. Even around random forums I could tell you Luke, Jude or Velvet are much more well liked. The one thing he does have going for him is that he's the first main character.

*Note that Yuri and Leon** are not in this poll because they are now in the popularity hall of fame. Aka they kept winning the top spot so much they had to ban them.

**Leon's alter ego, however, is still eligible for some reason (he's in the 10th spot in this particular poll._

Anyways, voted for Lloyd. Not only do I think he's the most likely one (not just when it comes to Tales characters, but also as the next Namco character), but he'd also be the most interesting one as we don't have a dual wielding swordsman yet.

Lilina gon transform all Abyssal/Infernal maps into Belhalla.

Than they add that one random ranged unit with Vantage.

Also we were discussing this, but I have a prediction on the next reveal for Smash. And as always it comes with one of my trailer ideas!

Spoiler: a little long

*It opens up with Dog and Duck playing in a field. All of a sudden a dark shadow hovers over them and an evil laugh is heard.

The dog panics but someone off screen gives dog their hand.

The scene cuts to the same shadow racing over a grassy landscape.

We see the dog running through the grass and gets ambushed by robotic animals!?

all hope looks lost when out of nowhere a blue blurr destroys all of them.

However Sonic gets knocked into the ground from out of nowhere. We see a shadowy blurr phase in.

Shadow brings the Chaos!

Sonic looks shocked and tries to get up but Shadow prepares for a final attack.

Lasers start to light up shadow and we see a plane flying in!

"Sonic watch out!"

We see Tails come into view with his plane and shadow makes an exit

"Tails flies in!"

Shadow: "Curse you Sonic"

Tails introduces his new friend dog.

The three share their victory but after gameplay we see them fighting eggman. They beat him and its revealed he's a boss now. They free all the animals and the duck was captured with them as well. With everyone reunited the trailer ends with everyone doing their victory poses.

Thoughts? I can't see third party echos not show up in actual trailers.

Always thought we'd get Sonic and Tails vs. Mario and Luigi.

Like a callback to the end of the Brawl premier trailer with Sonic and Mario clashing. Anyone remember this?

Shadow could teleport in between the duo's and Chaos Blast them away like he's crashing the party or something.

Not sorry.

Interesting banner but I probably won’t pull. Although according to the ingame trailer,

Ethlyn is the tempest trial reward for the one coming up. I have no clue who any of these characters are but free units are always nice

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Gae Bolg seems solid.

2 things.
1: Excuse me what? Isn't that a Fate thing?
2: Teehee that sounds like Gay Bulge and you said it's solid teehee

1. It's a Celtic (or Gaelic, whichever) mythology thing. It gets around.
2. Even when I'm not making lewd jokes I'm making lewd jokes. Nice to see I haven't lost the touch.

 

[Ivander]

Gae Bolg is actually a Celtic mythological weapon, used by the hero Cu Chulainn. Because it's a mythological item, of course it gets put into a lot of fantasy games and Fire Emblem is no different. So no, while Gae Bolg is used by Cu Chulainn in Fate, it's not a Fate-only thing.

Also it's ****ing brutal.

Once it gets into somebody it splits off into so many barbs you have to basically dissect the victim to get the spear back.

They don't portray that part a lot.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Well, I beat Shantae: Risky's Revenge.

It was my first Shantae game and the answer of that unsolved riddle. It was really short but a fun metroidvania. Consider me a fan.

I will say the game is more sexual then I thought it'd be. I thought designs would be the only sexual thing but there was inuendo. Some awkward and some downright hilarious.

How does it compare quality wise with other Metroidvanias like Hollow Knight and Guacamelee? I tried starting Shantae with the Gameboy title and it didn't click, but I've wanted to give the series another chance.

 

[Erureido]

I'm officially a member of Team Veronica for the Voting Gauntlet. I decided to give my free CYL2 summon of choice the support she'll need.

Anyone else part of Team Veronica in this Voting Gauntlet?

I heard the first was the worst.

Admittedly I haven't played Hollow Knight or Guacamelee.

I liked it but the world is really simple compared to other Metroidvanias. Gotta remember, this was a DSi game at first so it needed to be small. There are some neat puzzles and some cool transformation powers, but I'd consider this a Baby's First Metroidvania. It's worth a shot but don't expect to be blown away. Apparently the sequel is muuuuuuuch better which I also got in the same humble bundle.

There is lots of exploration and I missed about twelve secrets (out of 34 I think) but the world is small for better and for worse. It is linear, but I don't know how much you're bothered by that.

So yeah, I'd you want a fun and simple metroidvania, try it. It's pretty cheap and if you have interest I think it's a good place to start.

Just expect to beat it like two days.

The first is a little antiquated compared to the others but it isn't that bad

Doubt it'll be a Nindies Direct, it's likely just referring to the usual showcase of indie games that there are in practically every general Direct.

Solid. Game.

This is certainly possible. But I wonder...

If the direct is just dropped it would be a mini.

Do you all think smash stuff would show up in this?
