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

[Kenith]

A ruler and scissors.

Ganondorf confirmed.

Actually that's probably it.
Ruler = Ganondorf or maybe Zelda (I can't see it being Zelda because there's no version that would even come close to matching Bayonetta)

Scissors (bayonette) - Bayonetta

 

[LIQUID12A]

Ruler = Ganondorf or maybe Zelda (I can't see it being Zelda because there's no version that would even come close to matching Bayonetta)

Scissors (bayonette) - Bayonetta

The ruler analogy was spot on, but my logic behind the scissors was associating it with sharp things. The ruler wields a single scissor(a blade, i.e. a sword) which thus made the link to Ganondorf for me.

God knows Zelda doesn't use swords outside of when she summons Discount Shovel Knight.

 

[Bedoop]

The next hint for the next Death Battle is this picture. We know it will be Bayonetta vs a Zelda character.

I DON'T GET IT!

Black/Purple Bayonette
Bayonnaise

Black/Brown Ruler
Dorf Patrol

 

[Naoshi]

i don't think looker will be involved in the game at all. this detective game is seemingly disconnected from the mainline series, and i dont really see them having a reason to use looker, as obvious of a parallel he is.

i like it being kind of its own thing.

 

[Fenriraga]

Yeah, by Death Battle's logic, Peach is stronger than Zelda, so there's no way in hell they'd put her against Bayonetta.

Gotta be . Makes a bit of sense in the logic of Bayonetta I suppose, maybe him trying to obtain the Left and Right eyes. "You May Call Me Father" better play at least once during their fight, if only because the implications would be glorious. If it is Dorf though, I don't think it's much of a contest, has it down pat. Ganon is insanely strong of course, but she quite literally has the potential strength to send a planet sized god hurdling through the entire solar system and into the sun... Enough said.

 

[Bedoop]

but she quite literally has the potential strength to send a planet sized god hurdling through the entire solar system and into the sun... Enough said.

If Bayo wins, I can assure you that hurdling through space probably isn't going to be the way Ganon goes
Bayonnaise definitely likes the more gruesome methods than anything if the Bayo 2 direct has told me anything

Only Bayo footage I've seen was snippits of the Bayo 2 direct
Good job, me

 

[Ivander]

EDIT: Detective Pikachu game revealed.

Regardless, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Just to see how far they'll go.

 

[Arcanir]

meanwhile all signs point to keldeo being in pokken...and by that i mean the shape really looks like its trying to hide keldeo

I wouldn't think too much of it, this was revealed alongside multiple Pokken sets, all of which have none of the newcomers post-Blaziken (even Pikachu Libre).

 

[Substitution]

The next hint for the next Death Battle is this picture. We know it will be Bayonetta vs a Zelda character.

I DON'T GET IT!

Well, I at least know what the ruler means:

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Sights like this are well worth the time
Bayonetta WILL win Death Battle. She can grab on a pole of a building, pelvic thrust said pole, and then it changes flight pattern. She's one of the most OP characters in gaming

 

[Wolfie557]

Okay, makes sense. Really excited to see Ganondorf fight.
But if Bayonetta doesn't win then I'll be pissed since it would be obvious bull just for the extra views..

With what she's accomplished, and her likely being better than Ganondorf in Smash anyway I don't see any way she could loose - fanboy goggles off here ladies.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I'm surprised that they're not doing Bayonetta vs Dante.

 

[A Distant Demon]

her likely being better than Ganondorf in Smash

That isnt very difficult

Im not sure Death Battle takes tiers into account

 

[Burruni]

Seriously.
If it ends up being vs

I want it to be a full friggin DBZ arc.

Gerudo King vs Umbra Witch

Wizpig Ganon vs Malphas Wings Bayonetta

Beast Ganon vs Gamorra

Then Beast Ganon turns into an office building-sized version of the OoT Ganon vs Madama Butterfly.

I know I'll be disappointed but THINK ABOUT IT.

Edit:

I'm surprised that they're not doing Bayonetta vs Dante.

Because it's canon Dante loses that fight.
Kamiya, the creator of both, said so.

Double Edit: The actual quote.

Hideki said: "Who would win in a fight between Dante and Bayonetta? There is not a man on the planet who can defeat a woman"

Guy said: (Laughing) "If you say it that way, yeah you're right"

Hideki said: "At least, I've never seen one"

Guy said: "So a win for Bayonetta?"

Hideki said: "It's the way of the world."

 

[Opossum]

One thing that I don't like about Detective Pikachu. WHERE THE **** IS LOOKER?

This was my first question as well, considering he's my favorite Pokemon character.

I'll hop on the "Bill turned him into Pikachu theory" train.

 

[Substitution]

Just curious, was it confirmed to be a Zelda character? I don't see anything pertaining to that.

 

[Schnee117]

They posted a Pic of the Hyrule Historia a while back

 

[Champ Gold]

I just want to see vs Captain Commando, vs Sora, vs Renamon and Yu Narukami bs Jotaro Kujo for the next Death Battle

 

[Fenriraga]

I just want to see vs Captain Commando, vs Sora, vs Renamon and Yu Narukami bs Jotaro Kujo for the next Death Battle

I honestly feel like it's hard to give a fair fight, if only because pinpointing where a reasonable limitation on his visions is can be difficult. Plus various other game spoilers that paint him in an even more powerful light. Most match ups I can think of are either really for or really against Shulk.

Wasn't there like, some League of Legends champion that made everybody and their mother draw comparisons to Shulk? I wouldn't know, because lol LoL.

I like it more than XCX already.

 

[Frostwraith]

An actual sequel for Xenoblade X rather than a new story? Interesting...

Of course, it is a rumor, so it's best to not completely trust on it.

In case this is true, I'm hoping they bring back Sawano for the soundtrack...

To be fair, it left on a MASSIVE cliffhanger after a huge plot dump.

People were really hoping for a continuation before a new story.

 

[Deleted member]

Didn't ScrewAttack focus on Dumbledore as a contender for Death Battle lastly, and thus the next one would be Bayonetta VS. Dumbledore ?

I'm confused.

Hyrule Historia was used as a major hint.
It's a Zelda character.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It makes sense tome, since many people did 't like X's story that much.

 

[Frostwraith]

If it has a cliffhanger, then I guess the chances for a sequel seem plausible.

Perhaps, Takahashi wants to make the X story to span multiple titles and go more in-depth with its characters and whatnot.

 

[ChikoLad]

I think it could still be Midna.

The scissors reek of hair connotations. And Midna is a ruler too.

I don't even get why they would match Bayonetta up with Ganondorf. There's no obvious match up theme.

 

[Burruni]

For all we know it's a Golden Sun situation and they couldn't put in all they wanted in one game.

 

[Frostwraith]

Well, Takahashi's previous series, Xenosaga, also had multiple games for the story.

Xenogears was also planned to span multiple titles.

 

[Chrono.]

I hope the huge world is back though.

If the rumor is true anyway

MASSIVE IMAGE REMOVED

This could actually be a thing...​

So a leaker who correctly predicted that Dragon Quest 7 is coming to the west posted new details about the upcoming rumoured Paper Mario game for Wii U, and he apparently has interesting information about a certain yellow tomboy princess making a major appearance.

A few asked about Wario, Waluigi, Daisy and Rosalina. Wario and Waluigi will make very small appearances. I've seen no hint of Rosalina at least from what I've seen, Daisy is definitely in this game though. She and her kingdom are a major part of the storyline behind the game actually.

When asked about partners, he said that Daisy would be joining Paper Mario and the crew as a partner, along with a few others.

You asked about partners, yes they're in this time. Not generic Goombas or Koopa Troopas. Yoshi is one, Luigi is another-but they're doing something neat with him this time. Daisy is another. There's several more, at least a few are original new characters being introduced here for the first time.

When asked about why Daisy is making an appearance, he said this.

Daisy sure does seem like an odd choice to include and build this game's story around eh? There's two reasons for having her in this. One, to get more recognition and awareness for her. It has been years outside cameos and sports games but they'd like to use her more and develop a personality for her. The second reason is to address the while "It's always Peach gets kidnapped by Bowser! Not again!" complaint. This one's got a bizarre storyline and they're sure as hell trying something a little different from the typical kidnapping. That's the long and short on why she's a huge part of this game. Wario and Waluigi are more "cameo" appearances in a few backgrounds-no speaking lines from what I've seen. Clarification was needed there. I'll see what I can do about one screenshot. It's going to be tough though and I don't want to make promises but I'll see if I can scrounge something up for everyone.

Source. This user has been around since 2005, and does post rumours with a sort of hit and miss accuracy in many other websites too. Is this true? Will Daisy and Sarasaland finally get some proper love from Nintendo, or is this user messing with us....

Oh boy.

It's XCX's breast slider and Lin's bikini all over again.

(Honestly, I can't complain about that being removed... It shouldn't have been there in the first place IMO. Sucks for the people who actually wanted it, though.)

 

[Deleted member]

I'd say it is Bayo vs. Lana or Cia if they were OP like 90% of the characters in DB

I almost quoted the whole post and risked seeing a spoiler
Anyways, I don't mind it being removed but it's not like it wasn't optional in the first place
It was also a simple way to build up Supports which is convienent in the Nohr route

1. Put that image in spoilers.
2. All im finding is that this guy has been wrong many many times before and banned form places for being a faker.
3. There is no way Paper Daisy would be the star of a Paper Mario game
