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

[Chrono.]

lol I'm going to bed.

I'm probably gonna wake up to a massive info blowout.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Im sure the planning process is different so I'll keep seeing Spirits as a deceased list, also Nintendo chose the DLC, thus putting another nail in the coffin.

Imma keep riding my non-Square-Enix-owned cloud of pessimism to avoid further assured dissapointments from now own.


Oh btw

Spoiler

Malos, Jin and Lora are not Spirits


And no Pneuma of course because they never want to give us a full art of her lol.

I don't know, I don't feel like spirits help or worsen a character chance to get in, but still, sorry man. 'hope Divine Bloodline can help fill the void in your heart.

Though...

Spoiler

Very interestiiiiiiiiiiiiing.....

I guess my three most wanted newcomers are still on the run for DLC, but we will see I guess...

Also, press F for Pneuma full art.

Spoiler: Minor World of Light spoiler

Apparently Cloud can't be used in World of Light. With all the stuff surrounding Final Fantasy content in the game I think is safe to assume there has to be some kind of licensing issue with the franchise.

Get a Mii costume of that one fascist composer guy in nothing but briefs

Yes, but the Platypunk was unavailable when the Mii costumes were being finalized.

OK I just want to pose a quick question to everyone with the latest developments in mind. Who do you think would be easier for Nintendo bigwigs to work with on Smash DLC

Bethesda

or Square Enix.

TBH just wanna see everyone's responses to the implications of that question LOL

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

Psh, Bethesda barnone. We could at least more than two songs, and an assist trophy. Western developers at times can be laxer than Japanese ones.

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure Dovahkiin or Vault Boy would at least be playable in World of Light!

Exactly.

And i don’t want to lose him again.

 

[Jojalole]

Okay, it seems we finally know how squad strike works, and I'm hyped about it (spoilering just in case though)

Spoiler

Apparently it has 3 different rulesets.

-First one is whenever you lose your character you spawn again with the next character on your list (what would be PM All Star mode basically)
-Second, when you get KO'd the match ends and next match you play as your next character while your opponent stays as his character.
-Third, whenever you get KO'd, both you and your opponent move onto your next character.

First ruleset is something I've wanted FOREVER. And if 2/3 can have more than one stock, then they basically made crew battles a game mode, I'm looking forward to side events using this mode.

Another pretty cool thing regarding the music in the game (spoilering again)

Spoiler

Apparently you can make your own music playlist and you might be able to use those while fighting. Meaning that no matter the stage you can have your favourite songs. This would be so cool, I hope it's real.

She means Sugiyama, composer of DQ who is an awful as hell person lol.

Exactly.

We got some time before he's considered lost.

Psaro the Manslayer would be cool for a mini swordsman costume, and Alena as a mii brawler.

Ya know, if you told me in like, 2016 that Konami would be a better company when it come to sharing their franchises than Square Enix, I would have chuckled and told you you were crazy.

I'm good, just had to do stuff some stuff with my family here and there, and now, I'm going to relax easy peasy

 

[Jojalole]

Spoiler

Why would you pick anything but the first rule?

Spoiler

Yeah, for me it's the only one I'm going to use, and it's going to be great. But the second one is basically a crew battle, a side event very popular in Smash tournaments, so it can be used there. Either way I'm really happy

For the first spoiler...

Spoiler

Spoiler

Yes! I'm really excited for this, hopefully now that they made it a mode we get to see more crew battles in Smash tournaments.

I find crazy that self-imposed rules are making it's way to the game as actual modes, it's pretty insane. And Smash down could be considered a take on the ironman challenge, which would be yet another self imposed mode that made it's way to Ultimate. This is going to be great!

Bethesda

or Square Enix.

My first instinct would be Squeenix due to longstanding business relationships.

Geno's also been brought up time and again, in no small part due to Sakubias. I'm still pretty sure he'd be the Squeenix rep if he popped in.

Against my tastes with bringing him back up, track record wise, Vergeben has had incomplete but not incorrect information to this point. He's been consistent about a Square Enix rep for DLC, and since DLC was apparently finalized by the end of development, he would hypothetically have access to that info. We don't need to grant him a third sentence in this paragraph, so let's move forward to tucked stuff:

Spoiler

Now if the leak's correct about the dearth of FF content accompanying Cloud, no Cloud in WoL, and the removal of things like the Chocobo and Geno costumes, I'm not so sure what state that puts the rest in. Can't imagine they'd back out, though.

Bethesda on the other hand has only struck up their business relationship very recently. The Master Sword DLC for Skyrim Switch does suggest positive things about that relationship, but it's kinda a hard call whether they'd be able to parlay that into Smash representation.

Smash also acts as a kind of impetus for sales of other games - they've known since Melee that Smash inclusion makes a great sales pitch, but they've been pushing it pretty hard with Brawl and especially 4, see also: Masterpieces. Corrin especially was all but admitted to be a ploy for Fates, and it'd be reasonable to assume there's some slots in the DLC roster that are considered the same way.

We know there's 5 slots planned, and if they stop there, any slots they dedicate to promotion are more likely to hinder than help any chances Bethesda really has. Skyrim for its part basically sells itself at this point; if you're vaguely interested in open-world RPGs, it's either on your wishlist or in your library right now. Other titles like Doom, Wolfenstein, and Fallout (if it ever arrives past Shelter) have some potential to sneak in this way, but I can't see any of them offering a better fit in Smash than the Dovahkiin and Skyrim would.

Look at me talking too much again though.

 

[Deleted member]

Pour one out for Cloud again.

Spoiler

Only FF spirits are FF7 Cloud and AC Cloud.

LOL

Spoiler

Any Square Spirits besides those and Geno/Mallow?

Mii Costumes are being mined now.

Spoiler

- Dixie Kong is in
- Marx is in
- Geno is out
- Chocobo is out

What if Monster Hunter wasn't playable because Nintendo couldn't renew the license in time so they settled for the Rathalos boss?

OH ****

Spoiler

CODEC CALLS SEEM TO BE BACK

EDIT: Wait no false alarm, just the returning Brawl Codecs.

Still it's cool they left them there.

Gonna be weird to see some of them with the updated characters but it's better than cutting them entirely

Adventure Mode stuff

Spoiler

- Realm of Light
- Realm of Dark
- New Game +
- Multiple endings

Welp.

This mode might be beefy.

Sakurai really did that, huh? He hid a whole ****ing mode inside another

Divine Bloodlines, Route 10, Lorekeeper Zinnia, Jergingha - Planet Destruction Form gonna be busting non-stop on every stage now, nice!

 

[Aurane]

That's a bad touch.

You have no idea.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Spoiler

Why would you pick anything but the first rule?

Spoiler

As a single player, you wouldn't. You'd just counterpick a character on the next set.

Adding a break enables you to get the next person or persons in a crew battle situated and ready to go, which is really difficult if you just roll through. Since that's the apparent purpose of the mode, it justifies modes 2 and 3, which each bring a little different feel to the resulting match.

Does that mean, if this is true, we are finally going to get Smashville with music that make you want to fight and not read a book or somethin'?!

That said, no Geno, no Lloyd and no Heihachi is also rather interesting.
