Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Cutie Gwen]

Samus is my waifu?

Nope. Other M

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Nope. Other M

Just because I loathe Other M hate boners and think good can come out of it doesn't mean I like the game.

 

[NintenZ]

Oh and I forgot about SEGA and Namco. Added.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Kid Icarus-Very Unlikely (Sorry A Distant Demon )

I came to terms with this ages ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and a pikmin newcomer isn't impossible. just absurdly unlikely. like. .01% level of unlikely. But not impossible.

Okay, I edited it.

 

[LIQUID12A]

So I've decided to go through which franchises I believe have a shot of getting a new DLC character, franchises that already have one such as Pokemon I've disregarded, and third-party franchises have also been disregarded, so without further ado, let's begin.

Metriod-Very Unlikely (Sorry LIQUID12A )

Quite frankly-

I came to terms with this ages ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, that works. Thanks oni.

I very much believe anything is possible, but I'm not putting in any serious predictions(I don't do those, too many wild factors) for Sylux(or any Metroid character) to actually come in as DLC. If it happens, yay, but I won't whine over it if it doesn't go through.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Just because I loathe Other M hate boners and think good can come out of it doesn't mean I like the game.

Good. I can't stand people who try to convince me Other M is a good game.

 

[Deleted member]

I honestly think Pokemon and FE have the best shot at getting a new character and DK is in the same boat as Metroid
Both have plenty of characters to choose from, are popular and have upcoming games and I don't think a vet is going to stop that
I would say the same for Mario but we've reached the bottom of the barrel of characters with it

 

[NintenZ]

Oh wait a minute, I forgot that Gyromite has Hector in it, changed it to almost impossible.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Good. I can't stand people who try to convince me Other M is a good game.

Then you must have hated me saying I liked the gameplay (for at least the first section)

DK is at the same level as a series that has an impossible character and a beyond unlikey character.

Bur FE is super likely to get another character. Wut.

Aspects of the game were good.

Get over your hate boner. It's embarassing.

Ahem, "Franchises that already have DLC characters such as Pokemon I've disregarded..." Remember this.

 

[Arcanir]

I don't know why it gets so much hate tbh
My friend had it and despite how little we actually played, it was super fun to see our Pokemon in 3D at that time
Stadium didn't get any hate and it's basically the same

From what I remember, a lot of people felt it was lackluster since it wasn't a full RPG like the Shadow Pokémon games, and lacked a number of features from the stadium games. So for that reason, it seemed like a step down for both, even if it was neat to see Pokémon in 3D.

Third shadow Pokémon game plz. I'd buy the **** out of that.

I'd love to see another Shadow Pokémon game, I understand why it hasn't happened since Gen 3, but that still doesn't take away the sting of not seeing that particular storyline continued.

It had good graphics
We see Samus doing athletic stuff which is great
They did 'show, don't tell' very, very well with Ridley
Everything else was bad, the game genuinely hurt my thumb when playing because Sakamoto is terrified of Nunchuks

 

[Deleted member]

3big tho

The gamellay actually looks nice
It just doesn't fit Metroid much since it's more action focused

Ahem, "Franchises that already have DLC characters such as Pokemon I've disregarded..." Remember this.

If you're disregarding it, it probably means you think they have no chance whatsoever
Like when people mention their most wanted characters and just disregard Ridley becausehe's deader than dead
At least, that's how your post sounds

 

[Cutie Gwen]

3big tho

That only applies to Ridley as Sakurai's explanation was kiiiinda bull 'wouldn't be able to fly freely' MEANWHILE 6 CHARACTERS...

Well it's because they already have a DLC character added to their franchise, fan favorites for that matter, there are other franchises to pay attention to, so them getting a second character wouldn't be right for others, as they've got what they got. "Ya get what ya get and ya don't get upset!" :3
(Also Ridley already has a role in the game and has been confirmed not to have worked so that example doesn't really work)

 

[Cutie Gwen]

fan favorites

Roy's quite the Scrappy in the FE fandom

You mean the three small puffballs, two teenage angels, a penguin, and a dragon (the latter two not being that large).
Yep, truly that kills his reasoning.

Kirby, Meta Knight, Dedede, Charizard, Dark Pit and Bowser Jr were my examples. Also, Charizard's wings were made bigger this game

 

[egaddmario]

I'm surprised at your dedication. Not bad!

That or he has better things to do

Yeah, like, uh...um....nope, i gaht nothing. I just hop on during work. That's why i'm rarely on during the weekends. When i'm at home, i'd rather be playing the games instead of talking about them

 

[Champ Gold]

Other M would be a 5/10 imo if I had analog controls and first person mode wasn't ass.


But the game has zero exploration, zero freedom, the sandbagging of Samus in general and the godawful story.

Other M's gameplay can and will still work if Sakamoto just went for analog controls with the Nunchuck, Classic Controller, Pro Controller and Gamepad. expand on the combat a tiny bit more, much bigger and expansive look on exploration and don't have Samus talk unless it's Jennifer Hale again, her Brawl actress or a much better voice actress.


It's not Star Fox Command or Sicker Star levels of bad where it can destroy the series moreso than anything but the series needs to go the Arkham Asylum route of exploration

 

[Substitution]

Kirby, Meta Knight, Dedede, Charizard, Dark Pit and Bowser Jr were my examples. Also, Charizard's wings were made bigger this game

...Wait I'm very confused here. I already addressed the former five, but Bowser Jr. doesn't really fly. It's more "hover a little off the ground" than anything. Which I'm not sure how that correlates to damning evidence.

And once again, Charizard ain't that big. He's about the side of Bowser wings or otherwise.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Roy's quite the Scrappy in the FE fandom

So are Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Charizard.

And Marth.

 

[SlickWylde]

Yeah I pretty much do the same thing. Except that when I'm not at work, I'm just too cool for you guys.

He flies in the NSMB games with that thing
Ridley could be done that size without looking awkward, a 14 year old could do it. Anyway, I don't think people want to see a Ridley debate

 

[Khoru]

Binding of Isaac Afterbirth looks interesting enough to be considered a worthy sequel

xpac =/= sequel
it's pretty silly in having content removed from the game because ed just has to have stuff in a single-player game locked behind an arg
not that it's not good but
ffs

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Custom Amiibo are truly some of the greatest things.
Like this stellar three pack being one of them.

Here is a 3 pack that will be up for charity auction! Each figure will have a custom base as well. All 1 of a kind. pic.twitter.com/ZqDCL8n1xV

Jigglypuff, I can agree with. Pikachu is the MASCOT, Charizard is easily in the top 5 most popular pokemon and Marth's only gotten flak in the remakes, in which his personality was changed, not to mention he was op in FE1 and one of the most iconic FE characters

I was judging purely out of an hour of footage

i mean like i said it is very good
but that's just a really ****ty thing to do

Did you really just compare Charizard and Pikachu to Roy?
Swamp, r u okey?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I agree, though that might be my mind being stuck in the days when sequels were supposed to have more stuff

 

[Champ Gold]

People only assume how bad is in his game because they compare stat growths to other lords in the series but people tend to forget Binding Blade has one of the worst star growths in the series. Almost majority of the cast is awful as hell in that game with growths and it's considered one of the hardest game in the series aside from Tharcia 776.


Even if take away the late promotion situation, Roy has decent stats in that game but the late promotion hurts him so badly late game. Early on and midway through the game, he's decent to serviceable. Sorry he doesn't have insane stats like Sigurd, Hector, Ephriam and RD Ike.

Roy's overall growths are about on the same level as , Who is average and his father Eliwood is still worst considering he's useless all the way through the game considering Hector is a tank monster and a beast and Lyn has insane levels for critical hits and speed and Eliwood is supposed to be a jack of all trades type of character and he's bad at that.

They are all iconic and popular characters that get flak because of gameplay.

Roy isn't iconic and he's not even on the top 10 most popular FE characters. Pokemon fans are like smash fans, casual>competitive. Huge difference, bigger than a Wailord

 

[Opossum]

Having been a Pokemon fan for a long time, I can confirm that Charizard and Pikachu are Base Breakers at best. People outside the fandom have a much more positive reaction to them than those inside it, where they get a ton of flack for being overrated. Sure, it's more like the "hatred" some people spew about Frozen in relation to other Disney movies when it's not a bad film, but still. It's there.


And Marth is downight hated by lots of Fire Emblem fans.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Charizard's popularity was the sole reason it got 2 megas, remember the 'HE'S FINALLY A DRAGON' hype?
Except he, you know...Got 2nd place in an official popularity poll for the entire franchise

How so? I mean, I'd assume overexposure is a big factor, but is he really that bad?

 

[MasterofMonster]

You guys know what deserves to be hated? What HAS to be hated, more than anything in this world?

Uncarted's goddamn idea that 'getting 5 grenades tossed at you literally every time you duck behind cover' is a good thing.

Seriously. That single thing keeps me from seeing the Uncharted Trilogy as being great. I'd rather walk through a infinite cave of Zubat. That's how annoying it is.

It also took me over 6 minutes to write this message, cuz' Smashboards hates me.
