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

Grima fits way more as the Raphael...

Actually, Grima would be closer to Shreffer because main villain and all, but Raph is still the closest among turtles.

Honestly, it'd be more like this...

Leonardo = Ike because leader
Michelangelo = Hector because... why not?
Raphael = Grima because Blood Knight
Donnatello = Brave Lyn because she has the most range

You know what, going to redo my artwork and make it in this order.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Sherlock Holmes and Captain Nemo felt like the biggest omissions to me.

Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde

Oh. Those are great ideas...

Let's see here.

Our List:
Huckleberry Finn
Sherlock Holmes
Captain Nemo
Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde

What about Frankenstein's Monster?

Actually, we'd probably get Dr. Frankenstein himself instead.

Some new ideas by me!

Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird)
Jay Gatsby (The Great Gatsby)
Hester Prynne (The Scarlet Letter)
Guy Montag (Fahrenheit 451) - He really fits with the steampunk theme
Alice (Alice in Wonderland)
Oliver Twist (Oliver Twist)
Ebeneezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)
Mowgli (The Jungle Book)
Sir Quixote of La Mancha (Don Quixote)
Robinson Crusoe (Robinson Crusoe)
Jim Hawkins or Long John Silver (Treasure Island)
Lemuel Gulliver (Gulliver's Travels)
Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice)


These could all be great characters!

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I have barely any information of the TMNT, and I thought Grima was a bit "crazy", so I made him Mikey.

BARELY ANY INFO?!?

BOY YOU NEED TO WATCH THE GREATEST SERIES OF ALL TIME. Of. All. Time.

SOMEONE START SINGING WITH ME


TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!!!

Leo - The leader
Donnie - The Scientist/geek (my actual name is Donnie yet this isn't me LOL)
Raph - The Hothead
Mikey - The Joker (my personality)

 

[Starlight_Lily]

I mock them because Mario canonically got ***********

EDIT: It's all a fully censored word? LMAO

Got it, so you really a Fake Canadian, your to mean

That's just a plastic decoration skeleton, lily.

That was a joke.

Link/Marin for ALTTP/LA/Oracle games
Link/Zelda for the rest

Vanilla as **** but so be it lol.

Oracle Link isn't ALTTP Link, no I don't care what the bloody timeline says, it makes no sense for him to ALTTP Link.

You know what really grinds my gears in Smash Bros fanfics, though?

Well, a handful of things do, actually, but some of them are more petty than others.

But one thing I don't feel like I'm wrong for being frustrated when reading is that every time Smash Bros characters end up in a "transported to earth" plot they end up so mystified and incompetent. Like, seriously now, this is a mishmash of medieval, modern, and sci-fi characters that usually in these plots are all used to each other and are from worlds where some pretty messed up stuff happens. I don't think they're going to be lost and definitely not fazed ending up in a world like ours. But that's always the end result. The logical dynamic here is that people in our world are confused by them, but instead they find people that are only momentarily confused at best and then proceed to act like morons.

Also I think OCs could be completely fine if they weren't A. often completely overloaded B. Often introduced unceremoniously with no time to get to know them and C. often given the personality of stale bread. With lots of overlap on the usual.

I keep thinking one of these days I'll make a fic that addresses a bunch of my pet peeves in Smash fics, but I never quite get around to it.

That is weird, especially Mario & Luigi used to live in the Equivalent of the Mario universes Earth, even more so when you add in Wario, cause Warioware clearly shows him living an a-typical modern day life,

How about Arsene Lupin? I mean after all if you have the world's greatest detective, why not the trope namer for Phantom Thiefs as well.

Also, you guys need H. P. Lovecraft

Link X Zelda is superior to every other Zelda ship

Atticus most likely wouldn't happen, sadly, since TKAM isn't public domain.

Don Quixote and Mowgli were actually ideas I was throwing around too, haha.
Fun fact! Scrooge actually makes a cameo via namedrop. In one of the London levels, there's an advertisement for a charity gala hosted by him.

 

[AndreaAC]

Always?

Midna's only in one game though. :V

(I'm not counting Hyrule Warriors.)

:V But still, she had more time and connections with Link in TP than Zelda did there. xD Which is why I can maybe agree with Zelink in the other games, but in TP, NEVER. Link and Midna ARE the superior (and obvious) ship.

So the game uses canon ending Scrooge? Good, so sick of all the stuff that has Scrooge as the bad guy.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Lovecraft character? Cause I want actual Lovecraft.

It's practically the same thing, iirc.

 

[Fenriraga]

Actually Opossum Fenriraga

If there was a Codename STEAM 2, what other characters should be included.

I say we need Huck Finn for sure.

That's tough.

I definitely agree with Opo on Sherlock and Nemo.

I'd really like to see Phileas Fogg or someone else from ATWI80D. Alice or someone from Alice in Wonderland too. Maybe someone from Dracula too, like Johnathan Harker... Somehow.

It's a bit of a stretch, but I think it'd be neat to see the likes of Dr. Jekyl, Jean Valjean, or others like that too.

 

[Opossum]

Yep! Wholesome post-canon Scrooge.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

It's practically the same thing, iirc.

Don't care, I still want actual Lovecraft.

Yep! Wholesome post-canon Scrooge.

I'd love for him to be playable then, Scrooge could use ghost powers to, or basically get the Ghost of Christmas to bring the beat down on aliens.

 

[Opossum]

Lovecraft character? Cause I want actual Lovecraft.

Yep, Carter comes directly from Lovecraft's stories. You even recruit him at Miskatonic University.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So, how would these ideas work?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Don't care, I still want actual Lovecraft.

Pretty sure Carter is basically what Lovecraft saw himself as, so in a sense, Carter IS actual Lovecraft.

Just under a different name and only in fictional stories Lovecraft himself wrote.

So you want a character who's technically already there

 

[Fenriraga]

It'd be funny to see Frankenstein's Monster too. Maybe as, like, a redeemed, slightly more educated version recruited by the Agents of Steam because they see the good in him. That'd be sweet. And he'd make one heck of a tank.

 

[AmericanDJ]

Geez, this place is getting harder and harder to get caught up on every day now.

Anyways, I know this discussion was almost 20 pages ago (despite being less than 24 hours ago), but how do you guys picture me? I'm kind of curious.

There's that new popular #GameStruck4 hashtag on Twitter, so why not sharing my contribution here as well:

I would've put #SmashBros. as well but it would have taken the 4 spots. :p #GameStruck4 pic.twitter.com/f6SaJa2cex

— Pre-order Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (@FinalSmashGamer) April 19, 2018

Here's mine:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

-Super Mario Galaxy is probably one of my favorite platformers and video games in general, it got me into completing games, and made me realize how great video game soundtracks can be.
-Xenoblade is a bit more recent than the other ones, but is in my top 3 games of all time (the other two being both Mario Galaxy games) and it made me realize how much I enjoyed JRPGs.
-OoT was the first Zelda game I beat and helped me discover one of my favorite video game franchises ever.
-While, of the gen 4 games, Platinum is better than both Diamond and Pearl (as well as Gen 4 only being my 3rd favorite generation, right behind Gen 7 and Gen 5), Diamond is the game that made me truly get into Pokemon, even if I wasn't very good at it and I didn't beat Gen 4 until I beat Platinum last year.

Honorable mentions include:
-Super Smash Bros. Brawl (First fighting game I ever played, had a lot of fun with the single player content, and it introduced me to a lot of different Nintendo series)
-Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (First FE game I played, and to this day it remains my favorite one)
-Metroid Prime (First Metroid game that I beat, currently my favorite Metroid, another game that got me into completing games, and one of the few FPS games that I've been interested in).
- and likely many more that I'm can't think of off the top of my head.

Yes, sir.

So everyone.... what is a game or movie that you find very underrated?

Will post mine soon.

I suppose this may depend on what you'd define as "underrated".

I guess a game that sort of comes to mind is The World Ends With You, but that game isn't necessarily unpopular, it's just not as well known as some of Square Enix's other games, like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger.
(Speaking of TWEWY, seeing people see Zeb's reactions to the plot of XC2 kind of makes me look forward to when TWEWY Final Remix comes out, so that I can see how other people react to the many plot twists in that game).

I suppose another that really comes to mind is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. While the Zelda fanbase is quite divided on the game, I honestly think that it's one of my favorite Zelda games. There is quite a bit that I quite enjoy about the game, such as the greater focus on story, the dungeons, the soundtrack, and the sidequests, among many other things. In general, I feel like it's one of the Zelda games that I've had the most fun playing.

Also, since Chrono. mentioned it, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is another game that I think deserves more love. I don't have a whole lot to say about it specifically, but it's pretty much the only experience I've had playing SMT, and in general I found the entire game to be a lot of fun. I feel like it starts to drag on near the final dungeon or so, but the rest of the game is quite enjoyable.

I have a gut feeling a lot of people who wrote for Marth in Smash fanfics probably know next to nothing about his source material.

I mean, as a kid I thought Marth was just a prissy edge-lord knight or something. The language barrier didn't help that. Smash doesn't give much of an indication that he's actually a really kind, strong individual who cares immensely about his comrades.

Whenever I hear someone mention the contrast between what everyone originally thought of Marth and his actual personality, I can't help but think of this image.

 

[Ura]

All this Codename STEAM talk reminded me of it's initial reveal trailer...

This is legit the only time Advance Wars has been mentioned in a official capacity (like in a video or a presentation) since it went dark in 2008. It's both funny and sad at the same time.

Well...unless you count the AT in Smash 4 to be a thing.

I'm glad Intelligent Systems still cared enough to mention Advance Wars lol.

I took your advice to heart and made this image.

[Fenriraga]

So, how would these ideas work?

I honestly have to refresh myself on S.T.E.A.M.'s mechanics before I can really say that. I can imagine Phileas using different trinkets from all over the world for some attacks/abilities, and his hot air balloon for his ultimate or something.

The others... Yeah I really need to regresh myself on STEAM. Haha

[Delzethin]

Late night update inbound!

Guess you could say I'm taking after the guys at Intelligent Systems.

 

[Chrono.]

Wait what is this?

Dragon Quest Wars.

It's right there, man.

Spoiler

It's an old short DSi Ware game, remember DSi Ware? Me neither.

Gameplay is similar to FE/AW but also way more simplified.

It was apparently decent.

 

[Deleted member]

I mean, there's kind of a reason Subspace doesn't have characters talk, even ones who are more than capable of speech.

Nailing the personalities and dialogue of so many different, diverse characters must be insanely hard. I mean, even without dialogue, a lot of characters in Subspace are really unexpressive and stoic. And that's an official Nintendo product.


I have a gut feeling a lot of people who wrote for Marth in Smash fanfics probably know next to nothing about his source material.

I mean, as a kid I thought Marth was just a prissy edge-lord knight or something. The language barrier didn't help that. Smash doesn't give much of an indication that he's actually a really kind, strong individual who cares immensely about his comrades.

Ever since I first saw Marth, I never viewed him as an edge-lord.
I always viewed him as a prince who loved his people, considering I saw subspace and his codecs way at the time. I also knew he would be one of those heroic guys who loves his people and his comrades.

I don't know why Ike's serious face makes me laugh.

Part of growing up is constantly finding out about how many famous writers were actually a bunch of assholes.

Change writers to people and you have human history.

Really though. There are a lot of famous people who have done bad things.

I will always remember the day I found out MLK frequently cheated on his wife. It shattered my image of him, but it also made me appreciate other aspects of him.
