Any leak with a Sora costume is instantly fake. They aren't going to negotiate with Disney for scraps.

Lloyd, we have many single handed sword & sword/shield users, but we have no dual sword users.

*Sad noises*

Oh yeah, I guess those are swords..kinda..more like Daggers kinda, like what Zidane uses in Final Fantasy IX..but they have..strange swords and don't really fight like sword fighters do, honestly..so still kinda different.

Do any of you here have any positive things to say about the Switch's online services at the moment?

Or how about some pros and cons?

I'm just asking around yet again because I've been debating with myself back and forth on whether or not to get it yet, because I'm well aware it has it's issues but I'm also rather eager to start playing a few particular games online (Smash included obviously). Hoping this will help me better make a decision or at the least give me some peace of mind if I decide to get it soon anyway.

Splatoon 2 runs pretty much perfect on it in my experience. I haven't got SMM2 yet, but considering that Splatoon's service is basically identical to the Wii U game's, I have no reason to doubt it would be the same for SMM2 (which is to say, quite good, all things considered). In my personal experience, Smash has the worst of all, but it still runs fine for me 95% of the time.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Besides Arc Sys, I don't think anyone's ever done f***ing music DLC ever.

Don't know why waste so much music like that.

Namco has done music DLC for the last couple Soul Calibur games. And how is it a "waste?" That doesn't make sense to me.

Feel like we're due to see the mid-evos of the starters soon.

Feel like we're due to see the mid-evos of the starters soon.

Usually happens about a month before the games release, but in a recent interview they did say look forward to the evolutions. So maybe around August?

Evolutions will decide if I go fire or water, so I wanna see em soon.

Hippity-hoppity, I made an object labeling meme. Feel free to shame me all you like.

Either way, I was gonna make a meme concerning the Pokemon fandom's current standing amongst other notable fandoms known for stewing themselves in controversy (RWBY, Fire Emblem, & Steven Universe being good examples), but I had no willpower. I'll just leave it here for you.

Spoiler: I'm warning you guys, this thing is pretty long.

 

[staindgrey]

One of the Anderson Live Action films or one of the animated ones with over the top choreography?

The latter.

Those movies are canon and that somehow makes them funnier.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Dark Souls is very popular in Japan, but its not actually a Bandai Namco series, they just publish the games for FromSoftware in the West..kinda like how Bandai Namco publishes Final Fantasy games in non-Japan Asian territories.

Good to hear, I have a nice big water bottle I drink a lot from at work.

Then how come the game is legally copyrighted to Namco even on merchandise. And even on the Japanese versions of the game?

Don’t try to argue copyright with me. I know my stuff.

The price is probably the best part about it, it's dirt cheap compared to other online services, I'm European so I don't know exactly how the prices compare in the US, but it cost me less to buy a whole year of online for the Switch than it'd have cost me to buy 3 months of Xbox Live Gold. Of course this might not be a pro if you come directly from the Wii U/3DS where online was free, but it's just to put things in perspective, it's so cheap that I don't see much reason to not take a punt at it for at least a month. You can also buy it with the gold coins you get from registering your games/buying from the E-Shop, so if you have enough of those you can always try it out in that way.

I think the worst thing about it is how barebones it feels, that we don't even have access to SNES games over 2 years into the console's lifespan is pretty bad, it doesn't look like it'll ever match up to the Wii U's Virtual Console, which wasn't even that great in the first place. Really the only great thing you get from it is access to online modes in your games, which is the primary reason anyone would buy it of course, but it feels bad that we now have to pay for online despite going backwards in terms of features.

In terms of connection and such it's been fine from my experience, obviously not top quality as is never the case with Nintendo, but it's not awful either. I don't think it's very different from the Wii U in this regard tbh, maybe a little bit better, but I primarily play Smash where the connection is mostly dependant on the opponent, so it's difficult for me to definitively say. I will say that the biggest issue I've had with online Smash is how awful the priority on rulesets was at the start, and not the connection itself, once they fixed that I've enjoyed it just fine and have had no regrets about my purchase.

 

[Gentlepanda]

And even on the Japanese versions of the game?

i'll need a source on this cause every japanese version of the game i've found is solely attributed to fromsoft where the western version has the bandai/namco bandai logo

wikipedia also notes that fromsoft is the japanese publisher and only calls namco the international publisher

Today in Zachmac's Quickplay adventures, my Ridley fought a very annoying Zelda who I'm like 80% sure was lag switching and hit Neutral B whenever I got close.

Near the end of the match, I had downloaded their Nayru's Love habits and landed Skewer on them twice in less then a minute. When I took their last stock they were at 190+%. I could tell I was in their head at that point because they were refusing to commit to anything against me. I wouldn't say I really enjoyed that match but at least I got to embrace my inner space pirate and find some sort of sick amusement from it near the end.

On a different note my Ridley just barely on the border of reaching Elite Smash. Picking up Roy made me start thinking more about stage control and being careful not to overextend again, which in turn really helped to improve my Ridley play. Feeling confident I'll get Ridley into Elite soon, and Roy soon after.

Many thanks to those who wished me luck for my upcoming surgery. Thankfully, even though the disease makes my vision progressively get worse, I was told it can't lead to total blindness and I don't believe there was any risks with the surgery specifically. I do recall being told I'll have to wear sunglasses when outside for a whole year after since they'll be using UV light to strengthen my cornea and the sun's rays could mess that up. There was also the option to do a cornea transplant but the doctor said it'd be messy and they'd rather not do it. Seeing as how the surgery isn't even covered by OHIP, I highly doubt a transplant would be either and it'd probably cost more AND potentially be a risk so I'm content with just going through with the surgery.

For more 'on topic' stuff, I read a few posts today where people were mentioning their favourite animals. My #1 is wolves with foxes, dogs, cats and snakes not too far behind.

Some people were also mentioning how many of their most wanted have gotten into Ultimate and for me, there's really just Isabelle and the return of Wolf though he's nothing compared to his Brawl self. Isabelle is actually a very rare case for me where I picked her up because of who she is rather than for her playstyle. I guess there's Chrom too. Didn't really care when he got announced but he's my favourite character to use since he's just Roy but with an actual sword. Granted, I also don't even have a list of characters I want in Smash anymore. Smash 4 showed me that I care way more about fun gameplay than any character in the world.

Good luck. Not really sure what else to say.

I love how people love to bash the newer games with their overabundance on nonanimal Pokemon, when Gen 1 had stuff like three magnets stuck together and just a straight up Pokeball, yet nobody seems to bat an eye with those.

Is there a problem with that, tho?

Idk, I've personally been a fan of the object Pokemon. Vaniluxe included.

Pokemon is already a world with ghosts, a bunch of powerful god-like beasts and so on. I don't think it's too out out of the question for stuff like sentient keys and ice cream to exist in that universe.

 

[Deleted member]

Fellas, I have a shiny Vaniluxe and me and him had a long chat about object Pokemon oppression. Truly disgusting.

Wanna know what’s also disgusting? Flexing your shiny count.

This one's pretty different, and you can't really die in this one except for in one section of platforming, unless you really want to touch the lava bubble which in that case, go right ahead.

I only wish there had been a gag in Detective Pikachu where someone accidentally eats one. Or tried to unlock their house with a Kefkey.

Also, a tad more realism would go a long way to improve the world, immersion, the stories they tell, and players experience. Oh wait, Nintendo hates that kind of stuff.

 

[Zinith]

How about a scene where someone discovers a Salandit den? That'd be entertaining

Found the leak and the remaining part of the post, if it wasn't obvious before that the leak is fake then this is pretty much the nail in the coffin:

Spoiler: All of the "leak" in text form

>Releases on July 1st
>Their stage is named Altar of the Skies.
>Brings 17 Music Tracks, three of them being remixes.
>12 DQ Spirits.

Mii Costumes:

Additional 4.0.0 Content:

Music DLC (sold for $3.99 per pack of 10 songs):
>Square Enix Packs
>>Include songs from Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Trigger, and The World Ends With You.

>Sega Packs
>>Include songs from Sonic the Hedgehog, Bayonetta, SMT/Persona, and Jet Set Radio.

>Capcom Packs
>>Include songs from Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Ace Attorney, and Mega Man.

>Bandai Namco Packs
>>Include songs from Katamari Damacy, Tekken, Tales of, and Digimon.

>Nintendo Packs
>>Include songs from Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Animal Crossing, and Splatoon.

I've heard rumors of Microsoft packs, though those won't come until Banjo releases, and trust me, I'll be back.

Like, the whole music packs are so stupid given a few of the franchises are not even in the game. Not even Mii costumes.

Edit: Oh and best thing of all this:

Spoiler: 10/10

These tracks, unless they are from series already represented with a stage, will only be available on the menu and for Stage Builder stages.

I don’t know. There are lots of franchises with music in Smash and nothing else. I don’t really believe it either but its not that far out there.

Besides Lloyd being randomly added in there, I doubt all of this Final Fantasy content will suddenly be added.

Later on in the leak he says that each individual music pack, all 21 of them, costs 4 dollars each. That totals up to 84 dollars. That's more than it costs to buy the game itself, all as dlc that you can't even use on normal stages.
Very epic Sakurai-san.

No sane person would confuse a Vanilluxe or Klefki with inanimate objects.

Also, realism isn't required to tell a good story or make people suspend their disbeliefs. A lot of realistic and edgy media tend to fall short of resonating with people emotionally, while very unrealistic tales can.

You have to be,a reaaaal special kind of stupid to mix up Vanilluxe or Klefki with actuall Ice cream or actual keys
