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

[redfeatherraven]

Kotaku is whining about racism in Smash. What's going on?

Here, brought the sauce.

Short version: Kotaku UK writer apparently mishears improvised lyrics as an ableist slur. Commenters note that to suggest the worst of a lyric that's fair odds as not a result of accent rather than the content comes off as incredibly racist against Japanese people. Flame war ensues.

I'm reserving any further comment because I have quite enough drama in my life without this. Just making sure folks are informed and moving on.

Alpharad makes everyone top tier

Joker is super fun.
About how good Joker is, Joker is good, but not top tier in my opinion.

But when the **** have I taken a cue to sleep?

I don't get it.

And I know what a DVD is, before I'm told wha-

DVD (an abbreviation of digital versatile disc) is a digital optical disc storage format invented and developed in 1995. The medium can store any kind of digital data and is widely used for software and other computer files as well as video programs watched using DVD players. DVDs offer higher storage capacity than compact discs while having the same dimensions.

Prerecorded DVDs are mass-produced using molding machines that physically stamp data onto the DVD. Such discs are a form of DVD-ROM because data can only be read and not written or erased. Blank recordable DVD discs (DVD-R and DVD+R) can be recorded once using a DVD recorder and then function as a DVD-ROM. Rewritable DVDs (DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM) can be recorded and erased many times.

DVDs are used in DVD-Video consumer digital video format and in DVD-Audio consumer digital audio format as well as for authoring DVD discs written in a special AVCHD format to hold high definition material (often in conjunction with AVCHD format camcorders). DVDs containing other types of information may be referred to as DVD data discs.

You brought it on yourself.

Black Panther time

 

[mario123007]

And besides the Avengers theme song and the Spider-Man theme song remix (the 2nd remix will be even better of course), there really wasn’t much memorable songs in the original department. Guardians had an amazing soundtrack though, while Ant-Man and Iron Man have really good theme songs...but Infinity War and Black Panther were on a whole different level

The only memorable ones are Black Panther, and Guardians of the Galaxy...

Villians on the other hand...

Hela was not a god villain, she's just pure evil...

Baron Zemo was pretty forgettable... like many villains in MCU...

Killmonger is the best villain in the MCU, period.

Kingpin? Ok... are you talking about the Spiderman: Into the Spider Verse Kingpin? Well, he was just okay.

I'm reserving any further comment because I have quite enough drama in my life without this. Just making sure folks are informed and moving on.

Understandable, especially this kind of topic can cause drama easily here... base on my own experience.

Word. Its Kotaku after all. So I'm not surprised.

I mean, we can debate about censorship and some designs that may be questionable to some (Like how we used to debate on XC2... the good ol' days) and how some animes contents are questionable (Like Gobin Slayer and Rising of Shield Hero...)

But Kotaku's article is literally the straw that could broke the camel's back when it comes to gaming journalism, that being said I'm not entirely against gaming journalist, I only recommend websites like Mynintendonews and USgamer.

Black Panther time

Btw, Black Panther is one of my most favorite MCU movie, if you are talking about my most favorite Marvel movie that has to go to Spiderman: Into the Spider Verse.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Have we heard anything from version 3.0.0 so far, datamine wise?

And if so, is Joker's filename actually "Jack"?

All of this is really disappointing.

I’d say Infinity War has a memorable soundtrack (and also the Avengers + Spider-Man theme songs...but those are just one song each)

Kingpin from the Netflix MCU show (cheating yes, but he deserves a whole lot of praise...amazing), and Baron will always be remembered as the guy who broke the Avengers right before a massive threat occurred

I would say Killmonger is the best villian aswell...but Thanos happened, though a definitely top 3 for me, with Vulture in there aswell. I notice how these villians are all bad yet have good intentions

Well, we got a data mining leak. But not for Smash.

It's for MK11.

Kinda hard cause the main guy who usually did the Smash datamining turned out to be a sexual deviant.

Yikes

On a different note, question to Persona experts- What's with the purple footstep effects on the Mementos stage?

Expert is stretching it, but hey, I'm first.

A shallow pool of red-purple water everywhere on the ground is a visual cue for the Metaverse. Happens in every Metaverse-linked dungeon in the game, Mementos included, indoors and out.

It's obviously related to a perception of the distortion the Metaverse has on the real world, but exactly why it's that perception I've yet to find a satisfactory answer to. It may literally just be a visual cue for crossing the threshold, as seen here:

- but Atlus does enjoy their cornucopia of mythological, religious, and philosophical references throughout the Persona games. I'm sure it's some kind of stand-in, just not sure which yet. I'll comb interviews and get back with you.

I'm 99% certain it's just because it looks cool.
The pink splashes aren't seen anywhere except within the gameplay, not in cutscenes animated or in-engine, and is never mentioned.

There’s a stage based on an anime known as Konosuba and a character named Aqua...download it

[mario123007]

I’d say Infinity War has a memorable soundtrack (and also the Avengers + Spider-Man theme songs...but those are just one song each)

Infinity War, sorry I disagree, while it was the big hit MCU movie last year, pretty much like past MCU movies... the soundtrack in the movie are generic... but don't get me wrong I know soundtracks are subjective but all I was saying is that I can't remember any soundtrack from the movie at all.

Black Panther's End Credit Music "All The Star" and Spiderman: Into the Spider verse's "Elevate" on the other hand, are all awesome soundtracks.

Baron will always be remembered as the guy who broke the Avengers right before a massive threat occurred

Even so, Baron is still a pretty forgettable villain because he lacks charisma compare to Killmonger and Thanos.
Another thing to share,
Anyone remember the former IGN Nintendo editor Filip? Neither do I, until I saw his recent "My Apology" video.

My only complaint on this video is pretty much like most how most people will react... why took so long and ruckus to post a sincere apology video? If he posted this video last year and replace that lousy apology video everyone would have gotten much better.
His first video I controversially stated that it wasn't the best but I was a bit sided on Filip's side when he called out Jason Scheier (Because he's an ignorant Kotaku editior) but I will also say he shouldn't have said that in an "Apology" video since he plagiarized someone else's work.
That being said, I... again, controversial statement here... glad that Filip mentions the gaming websites that he was exposed for plagiarizing their works, ESPECIALLY Bookstickgaming and did NOT apologize or mention Jason Scheirer from Kotaku (Not mentioning his name at least), no shots on Scheier as a person but man... he's the last video game journalist to get mentioned at all for this.

I have also stated that people should just ignore Filip if they couldn't forgive his plagirism since he already got fired by IGN and got bashed by many known Youtubers like Yongyea and Reviewtechusa, so I give props on his last statement that he doesn't seek for forgiveness.

As saying goes still... Better late than never even when it comes to apologizing. While I will neither condemn nor forgive his plagiarism, I wish good luck to him on his future plan...

A song I can remember from Infinity War were the ones for Loki’s and Gamora’s deaths...and the Guardians as usual, but we can agree to disagree

As for the Spider-Verse part...the only song that truly matters in the movie was obviously Spidey Bells (God Tier Music)

Baron tho...kinda couldn’t see him being charismatic since his whole family died (the one he’s responsible for making that is), and was too busy continuing to hold a grudge and vengeance combo on them Avengers
