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

Sometimes, looking for answers only leads to more questions.

And sometimes, you're better off not knowing.

I would rather be insane than ignorant.

And i'm already half way there

There's a handy tool in this site's UI that may alleviate your problem.

An often overlooked one.

What a magical button.

Unless SF4 gets confirmed soon, Nintendo has one more game than Capcom at EVO.

That's crazy.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Funny that most of the people upset at the removal of the feature are upset because of censorship and removing features all that, not because of what the feature actually was. Because it's a weird, creepy feature that most people cringed at when it was announced.

It's not the same as the boob slider. Boobs, like eyes and noses and hair and all those other aspects featured in the customizer, are all parts of the human body and should be fair game when creating a character, especially if they've already been included.

That's what gets me about the whole thing. All I remember was people not liking the feature at all and people saying it was one of the things that "ruined" the game (People saying they canceled pre-orders over THAT). Now that the feature has been cut out however, you have people wanting it back because.....it's cut content. How many people ACTUALLY liked the idea?

 

[Fatmanonice]

Is Cloud just "A better Little Mac with a Sword", or is it more than just that?

Much more. Cloud's weaknesses nowhere hinder him as much as Little Mac's do and there's a reason why people are now commonly referring to him as "sword Mario." Easily high tier and at worst tied with Ike for second best swordsman in the game.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Can we not compare this to the Holocaust?

I know the point but really?

Rude, man. What did I do to you. ):

Surreal, really. Ninty of all things having a bigger presence than most fighting game devs at EVO?

Is it really a true internet debate if Godwin's Law isn't eventually invoked though?

The sixth Evo 2016 game: Pokkén Tournament! https://t.co/oZ8EJw0xEg

— Shoryuken.com (@shoryukendotcom) January 27, 2016

Holy ****ing ****

Now THIS is nice to hear. Excited to see this at the event and also glad to see Nintendo put another game here.

I remember having a discussion with my friends (more like an argument) where they didn't consider Pokken Tournament a fighting game (more akin to a party game). Opinions have changed, but I still find the whole situation funny in retrospect.

Hope to see a Sceptile come out on top.

To be fair you weren't ever the best fighter.

I mean the quote is less meant for the holocaust reference and more for the famous quote amounting to "if I abandon everyone else when it's important to them I can expect to be abandoned when it's important to me" part

But, I've gone ahead and changed it to be a bit more apt and less holocausty.

 

[aldelaro5]

I beat paper jam today YAY!!!!!!

the end part was really intense, really fun and really challenging, exactly what I expect from m&l and their bosses.

The endgame rewards is btw awesome, I wont; spoil it until my review, but it;s really good for me, hint, it;s something I am known to like

Yeah expect the review to be done in say this week, maybe 2 days we'll see

What i can already tell is it;s still very positive (might have improved it because of the awesome last fights) and I am not technically done, I intend to do all expert challenges

But that I don;t think I can do it before I do the review + iot;s not a big part of the game so.

Stay tuned for one of my very exhaustive wall of text

 

[Fatmanonice]

Presenting:

• The Anime Row
• The Nintendo Row
• The Edgy Row

In all seriousnes, this line up is amazing.

Nintendo having more games than Capcom is pretty surreal. Nintendo's being given a golden opportunity to market the NX to the more hardcore crowd and they'd be idiots to not realize that.

 

[PushDustIn]

Kotaku also has an article on McDonald's chocolate covered fries

Which REALLY doesn't sound that gross considering I always dip my fries in chocolate milk shake

They look gross. I decided against them last night.

About the actual topic on hand:

"Nintendo is an idiot for not catering to the hardcore crowd!"

-Smash sells better than all of those fighters.

I think Nintendo is doing just fine.

 

[Shroob]

Not gonna lie, even though I doubt it'll come here, I REALLY want Detective Pikachu.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Unpopular opinion: french fries in chocolate is no less gross than nacho cheese or gravy in the grand scheme of things. All three are nutritionally heinous, are made up of most of the same ingredients, and taste awesome with potatoes.

Add in: I meant more so because, let's face it, the Wii and Wii U caused a lot of people to jump ship.

 

[Kingslime304]

Who's gonna plan to main Braixen once Pokken gets released?

 

[Fatmanonice]

Who's gonna plan to main Braixen once Pokken gets released?

Chances are that they'll be more characters revealed before release and possibly even unlockables and DLC but I'm currently leaning towards Weavile as the character I'm most interested in.

 

[Zzuxon]

I'm most intrigued by Gengar, Sceptile, and Chandelure.

 

[Z25]

Not gonna lie, even though I doubt it'll come here, I REALLY want Detective Pikachu.

I think we will see it here, but a few months from now, like what they did with Badge Arcade.

 

[Erureido]

Pokken Tournament will be in EVO this year... I'm speechless. This has revitalized my interest in Pokken.

It makes me hope that DLC will be a thing after the console release so that we could see a reveal during EVO similar to the new fighter reveal for Street Fighter V in last year's EVO. I mean, that would be a great way of maintaining the Pokken hype throughout the tournament.

As for the fighters I'm most interested in at the moment, they are Sceptile and Chandelure.

 

[Shroob]

I think we will see it here, but a few months from now, like what they did with Badge Arcade.

The reason I say it may not come is due to 2 things.

1# There's been a recent trend of detective games not coming here lately

2# Voice acting

 

[KingofPhantoms]

McDonald's has chocolate-covered fries now?

Eh, they might be visually unappetizing, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll taste bad. I've heard of many people who love dipping french fries in chocolate shakes before eating them (including some members of my own family ), and while I've never tried doing that myself, I don't see the flavors possibly clashing THAT badly.

 

[Skyblade12]

Actually oes someone mind telling me what that guy's avi is from?


ive seen like 20 people on SB have these and I have no idea what they are supposed to be from. and dont say "it's hsien ko"

so close to 10,000 posts. Was hoping my XCX rant would be that post but there is no way I will do the last chapter before I post 6 more times

>Notice a lurker
>Check profile to see if I know them
>Another one of those weird avis I dont understand

EVEN THE LURKERS WISH TO ENHANCE MY PAIN


And since i'm feeling musical and I already linked Smooth Criminal in the Discord (you know who you are)

"Curiouser and curiouser."

 

[Shroob]

Well, if you were interested in FNaF World, someone on the Steam User Forums found the early free download link. Game hasn't updated yet, obviously, but it's free, and on Steam, just currently hidden.

If you want the URL, pm me.

 

[Opossum]

I never realized other people did the whole "dip the fry in the chocolate shake thing" as well. This whole time I thought it was just some weird thing only I did as a kid/still do in private.


Pokken at EVO's a great surprise. Mains? At the moment, auto-maining Chandelure before seeing any footage of it, and using Gengar as a secondary.

I'm still hoping for some more Johto Pokemon...mainly Ursaring, since he's one of the only Pokemon who I'd swap Chandelure out as a main for.

Apparently I have to help pay for flowers for a funeral to someone, that I guess is technically family but I'm not related to in any way and my family keep saying they have to have the money by tomorrow

But when I ask how MUCH money they don't give me an answer

I don't know much on one but ok.

2) Well if the game is already planned( or even done), for here, then this should be fine.

Plus it's the big anniversary, I don't think they'd skip a game, especially when the western audience has already well received it.

I cannot wait for the pics of Melee on that stage. That is so phenomenal.

I'm pleasantly surprised Smash 4 got in. Wizard seemed to not like the game that much so I expected it to be dropped. Good to see it's still in. People complaining about it not being on Sunday and not getting Main Stage... guys, the scene is young and the game hasn't developed. Melee had to fight for 10 years to get the scene to where it is. This isn't a Melee vs. Smash 4 thing at all. It's just a matter of how much the game means to Fighting Games. Melee is undoubtedly the more spectator friendly game for the Main Stage.

Pokken is a pleasent surprise. I was already planning on playing the game competitively but now that it seems like Nintendo/TPC will actually care about the competitive scene I'm totally in.
