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

[Aurane]

I would do a fan roster, but the problem is that my roster would be nitpicked so hard, and you guys can be really rude sometimes about rosters...

It would basically be the majority of the characters from 4, most of the veterans, and a few newcomers, including Frisk, The Dragonborn, and Quote. And of course, Inklings.

 

[Ivander]

In lite of the new Spring Heroes, new FEH Comic is out.

Well, can't say I blame him when he's not used to being with a whole bunch of new people from other worlds. But now I'm curious how many other complaints have been made. *looks at Valter, Narcian, Oliver, Grima, etc*

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I vote Grima.

Partly because if your Jakob ain't broke there's no need to fix it, partly because it shores up your Grima's shortcomings

Yeah... That's what I thought too.

Now come home, Hardin, so I may sacrifice you to the Fell Dragon

and partly but to a lesser extent because I'm heavily biased towards evil dragon dad.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Yo it's hard to make a demo reel when all your best work is on a previous laptop you can't recover anymore and can't afford the repairs for because you bought your current laptop with the triple amount of money it would cost to repair the previous one.

Huh, so this is where everyone moved to.

Two new Extella Link Servants have been announced

Yup, Arjuna was the other Archer, and we finally got an actual archer playable. The Archer class isn't really made up of archers.
The other Servant is Darius III as one of the Berserkers, shouldn't be too hard to find his video.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Welcome to the cool part of SmashBoards.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

We've been waiting 4 months to climax




No you guys will not get context on this in joke

I was originally going to put some stuff that I don't care about like Spring Man or Rex/Pyra to include "realistic aspects" but then I realized that they might not make it in because of timing issues so lol

 

[BluePikmin11]

It's going to be interesting rating Rex/Pyra for RTC today. I might have a long analysis on the character.

It's also going to be interesting to see if Smash ends up revealing an indie character for today's direct. I'm not banking on it, but we'll see.

 

[EmceeEspio]

I dunno how "welcome back" it is, didn't we speak on Discord like, every other day or something?

Gwen ffs.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

today's direct.

What direct are you talking about?

 

[Fenriraga]

RTC is depressing today man. Like, even as a fan of Xenoblade 2, I don't like most of the character designs, and I will never deny how fan-service-y it is at times, but geez, at least TRY to look past Rex and Pyra on a surface level people, they're both pretty like-able in the actual game, and Smash would literally not be any more blatant with its own fan service than it already is if they made it in.

The people complaining about the fan-service who use Fire Emblem elements in their avatar/signature is especially depressing.

 

[Deleted member]

They're showing nindies today.

Rex and Pyra feel like pretty likely characters from popularity and relevance alone, even if I haven't taken enough interest in XC2 to actually buy it yet.

I'm holding out for an XC:X stage because the environments were the best part of that game and the chances of a character from that game getting in are pretty much slim-to-none thanks to XC2's success and... existence really. I think having a stage would be a perfect way to represent the game. Maybe Noctilum at night, or a stage based on Primordia with NLA and the big gel crystals in the background.

Oh everyone is rating them as pretty likely. It's the "want" ratio and their reasoning why that's getting under my skin a bit.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

What direct are you talking about?

He's referring to the Nindie showcase.

They're showing nindies today.

Well, 'd.

Anyway, just thought I'd point it out, Nindie Showcases, are not Directs. Directs are for Nintendo games and big game publishers, with Indies sometimes getting a appearance, Nindie Showcases are just for Indie games being released on Nintendo platforms.

 

[EmceeEspio]

Oh everyone is rating them as pretty likely. It's the "want" ratio and their reasoning why that's getting under my skin a bit.

I find them likely enough that despite my 'roster' only adding 6 characters (including the Inklings) for a total of 64 in the lowballed version, Rex and Pyra made it in.

Highballed version should add about another six or so.

I wondered if the negatif feeling I had when I saw the RTC thread was stupid or justified.

Really, I'm fine with peoples saying that they don't like Rex/Pyra design or even dislike Xenoblade 2 and all, but man, some of the post I saw were just...urgh...I knew that discussion about Pyra/Rex inclusion to Smash tend to go into salt fest just because of their design alone, but this is too much for me man.

Then again, I quit dislike Smash speculation in general, so, maybe I should have seen it coming and just leave that thread alone.

 

[Aetheri]

Inb4 Shovel Knight Smash reveal

 

[Baskerville]

I'm moreso trying to figure out how Rex and Pyra would work in gameplay. Are they going to function like Pokemon Trainer or will Pyra be with Rex on the battlefield?

The Smash community is both simultaneously one of the best communities I've been honored to be a part of and one of the worst trash piles I've had the displeasure of witnessing.

There ain't much in-between on the internet.

In a little less than two hours this is going to happen:

[Deleted member]

I remember Bandana Dee and Takamaru's RTCs. People who gave them low want scores were usually of the following camps:

1. Generic Enemy/Swordsman
2. "They feel like a token Kirby/Retro character"

ugh, can't wait for the inevitable "token grass starter" to be used against Decidueye -_-

Yeah, I share the same feeling. Again, I generally try to avoid Smash speculation due to how trash it can become when it come to certain characters. But sometime, even I can't help but look a little into the void, even if I risk to fall in it at any second.

I'm moreso trying to figure out how Rex and Pyra would work in gameplay. Are they going to function like Pokemon Trainer or will Pyra be with Rex on the battlefield?

Personaly, I feel like Rex/Pyra/Mythra would work as a reverse :

Rex fight on the battlefield while Pyra/Mythra follow him in the background, the closer Rex is to Pyra/Mythra, the better his damages/knockback get over time. Just like in the game where, the longer and closer you are to your blade, the better your stats become (your arts reload faster, you get buff to your damages, defense, etc..).

I mean to be fair, for as dumb as a lot of Nohrian armor was, a lot of XC2 designs take my issues with them and turn them up to eleven.

That's all I'll say here though.

Oh I'm not about to deny the character designs in Xenoblade 2 are MUCH more outlandish than a game like Fates, barring a few exceptions like Nohr Azura. I just mean the "fan-service" argument in general. Need I remind everyone of the petting mechanic...

Even barring Fates, FE as a whole isn't a stranger to fan-service. Comparing a campfire to the sun in the case of Xenoblade 2, but still.

 

[Aetheri]

I'd picture something along the lines of Ice Climbers cept Pyra wouldn't attack but just power up Rex (save for some special combination attacks)...but in a more temporary sense, like an assist trophy exclusive to Rex...

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I dunno how "welcome back" it is, didn't we speak on Discord like, every other day or something?

Imagine someone else said that then

 

[Con0rrrr]

It always surprises me when people say they can't come up with a moveset for Waluigi. Personally, I think he is one of the easiest to make one for.

The Mario Sports/Kart/Party series is the highest selling franchise that isn't represented in the roster at all. Having Waluigi use different sports equipment, Mario Party elements, and even maybe use Mario Kart elements would be perfect for a wacky character like Waluigi.

imo Fire Emblem does at least make sense sometimes by having the characters have personalities that fit the fanservicey designs or Tharja having an outfit that would protect her from the desert's heat

 

[Fenriraga]

I can agree with that. Given her actual personality Pyra has literally no reason to look the way she does. But fan service is fan service at the end of the day.

Just curious, how do you feel about the design of the antagonists? Mainly, Malos, Jin, Akhos, Patroka & Mikhail? In term of design, I say that, none of them are overly design to the point of being ridiculous, though, beside Malos, it's very clear that Nomura designed them, but what do you think? Here are images to help.

Spoiler: Malos

Spoiler: Jin

Spoiler: Akhos

Spoiler: Patroka

Spoiler: Mikhail

I was thinking about that idea but I can imagine it being hard to track your Pyra/Mythra in an 8 plyer Smash (assuming that comes back.)

 

[Fenriraga]

Xenoblade 2's plethora of guest artists ultimately hurt the game more than helped it, honestly, in the west anyway. Only so many different ingredients you can throw into a melting pot before you lose the flavor you were trying to go for because of so many different elements mixing together. Not to mention, again, the "preference" a lot of the artists had with some designs.

 

[Deleted member]

Well now someone is using the "typical rpg character" arguement, which, as an Isaac supporter, I ****ing hate.
