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

[Naoshi]

Guys, EVERY fandom has OC's and creepy fanart. There are no exceptions on the Internet, none at all. For every Sonic recolor, there is a Mario one. Just like there's a Mary Sue with a 2edgy4me stereotype that the cool kids would love. So Kirby does have its flaws, but arguably less than the Pokemon fandom.

*shudders about the many bad Pokefics I've read*

I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. The difference is the volume of that stuff. You almost never really see that about Kirby unless you really go out of your way to find it. Unlike Sonic, where it's right in your face when you least expect it.

Then we'll just stop the argument as it is then.

I need a break from arguing.

So, we're less than a month away from Pogeymanz Generation I on Virtual Console.

I'm just curious how the games' glitches are/if going to be handled because, while a great set of games, but there's no denying that they are a massive buggy train wreck.

I'm assuming they're gonna be kept in. There's really not many reasons to take them out.
Besides, glitch hunting is half the fun in R/B/Y.

They might leave it as is since it's a Virtual Console game.

Then again, these games are kinda being treated as a special case, so it wouldn't surprise me. I just hope they keep some of the fun glitches that you have to go out of your way to pull off.

Why did they do this? Was this some sort of form of fanservice or are the producers just like that for some reason? The world may never know...

 

[A Distant Demon]

I've never really thought the Disney Channel's live-action shows were... Bad... But not as noteworthy as other shows on the network... Actually I don't even know if there has been a bad show on the network, unless I'm forgetting something?

There was a show called Dog with a Blog.
I don't think I need to think any deeper to know Disney has produced some ****.

Cop Kirby's got that covered.

T.E.A.

xcoos u I drink coffee
Thinking about it...I guess the Kamen Rider fans who only want dark stories count as bad apples as Gaim was dark, with Drive getting very dark and tearjerking later on. They probably only saw the first episode and shrugged it off. The part that wants TOEI to focus more on the show's quality than toy sales aren't counted as bad apples as I can't recommend Ghost, though the toys are pretty damn nifty

 

[BluePikmin11]

I do admit, I finally realize that I need to approach the Yo-kai Watch situation differently after going through many and many arguments since me joining here.

And I think I certainly know how to now.

This is what they made.

I think this was just for humor sakes. I don't think they had any weird intentions behind it other than humor.

That's my take though.

I'm kind of curious about that too. When R/B/Y came out, I was 10 so the nostalgia goggles are jammed on pretty hard for me despite every sequel making it grossly apparent how terrible the first games were and how it took them nearly four generations to address them all.

 

[MainJPW]

Didn't Sakurai approve this? He did oversee the anime didn't he?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The joke was about the main cast making an anime with some otaku iirc, at the end they decided to do this instead of a Kirby anime

"Nearly 4"
It took until Gen 6 to move diagonally.

Edit:

Yes. Yes he did.

Yep, this was his work...

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

In defense of Matt Bozon's (Shantae's creator) uncurbed enthusiasm, it's Smash Bros. Having your character make the roster is the equivalent of making it into a Hall of Fame. It's pretty much become the dream of a lot of developers and a huge honor to make the cut. I'm one of those people that believes that Shantae would warrant a spot because all three games are fantastic and Shantae's backstory is actually kind of inspiring (basically a character and a game that spent nearly a decade in development limbo before finally coming out and quickly becoming a cult classic). She's essentially a Nintendo indie success story more than a decade before crowd funding projects became a thing which, if you consider that, is really impressive.

I agree. Did Matt Bozon take it a little far? Admittedly, yes, but I still have a ton of respect for the dude and WayForward as a whole.

first of all

Neverpostthatagainkthxbye
Secondly
Let it be reminded that Sakurai was in charge of the anime
He approved of that
goodjob

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Sakurai: So, you want to over sexualize one of the main cast despite giving her the biggest, manliest shoulders ever? What the ****?! I will never approve of this!
Animators: Kirby won't talk
Sakurai: HERE'S THE MONEY FUND IT NAAAAOOOOOOO

 

[Naoshi]

I still think Gen 1 is good, even with all of its flaws. I still had a lot of fun with it because it's still a solid game on its own. I can't bring myself to call it bad because it's perfectly playable and most of the issues are more on the metagame-side, and I almost never run into glitches unless I go out of my way to find them.

 

[Champ Gold]

You do realize that was a joke at the expense of the otaku.

But it's weird and stupid

It's supposed to be, that's the joke. Man y'all some babbies

 

[Burruni]

This thread at this point.

I have enlightened to what stupid crap that was put in official anime.

Let's not forget Nametiff's incoherit amount of "Advances" with Kirby and the only reason it's still a kids show is because either Oblivious Kirby (THANK ****ING GOD) or someone else is around

Yeah I'll just stick to Dedede: Comin' at Ya kthxbyeeeeee

 

[NintenZ]

I admittedly haven't seen the anime in forever because... I don't really like it... At all... And I bet you may be able to see why...

 

[Fatmanonice]

"Nearly 4"

I was mainly talking about the battle balancing issues: bug, grass, poison, and ghost being complete trash, psychic being hilariously overpowered, attacks being physical or special based on type, ensnare/sleep locks, dragon type being mostly irrelevant aside from their stats, etc.

 

[Chrono.]

Styles did a thing.

Extra points for using Tenkaichi's OST.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I've seen a majority of the anime. Unless the 22-ish episodes I didn't see are garbage it's pretty good, much better than that joke. Especially 'FIYAH DEDEDE! I can't make that sound cool...'

Oh, I understand.
And they're still struggling on trying to balance some things.
Just I remember one of my reactions to the first Gen VI trailers being
"HOLY CRAP WE CAN MOVE DIAGONALLY!!"
"...WE'VE BEEN WAITING 18 YEARS TO MOVE DIAGONALLY?!"

Edit:

IMO, Kirby Right Back At Ya is one of two good animation projects done by Nintendo's hand (excluding shorts).
And KFDDD is the best thing to happen to any Nintendo series and I want it was a voicepack in Smash.

 

[Naoshi]

To be fair, 4 directional moving was just a game design choice. The overworld was originally designed with that in mind.

 

[Bedoop]

"HOLY CRAP WE CAN MOVE DIAGONALLY!!"

"BENCHES!"
"WE HAVE BENCHES NOW!"
"Why are you hyping about a ben-"
"BENCHES!"

Thank god, I found a Lucas AMIIBO.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

"Why are you hyping about a ben-"
"BENCHES!"

That reminds me of the one good video TamashiiHiroka ever did

SHIRLEY U JESTIN
My name isn't Shirley though~

 

[Burruni]

Seriously.
If we EVER get Voice Acting in a Kirby game.
It HAS to use the voices for KFDD and Mexa Knight.

Edit: AND IF YOU SAY IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

THEY BROUGHT IT BACK ON THE 3DS.

 

[Naoshi]

Dedede's dub voice is the best thing ever. So glad to see the love here

 

[A Distant Demon]

"BENCHES!"
"WE HAVE BENCHES NOW!"
"Why are you hyping about a ben-"
"BENCHES!"

I am dissapointted I cant find a reaction video version of "surely you jestin"

Because if Dedede is telling you you're an idiot it's going to sting.

 

[NintenZ]

Mexa Knight

Who's he? Can I meet him?

In all seriousness, I feel that Eric Stuart should've been the one to voice Meta Knight in Smash, as I honestly felt him to be the definitive voice for the character, that and I really hate Eric Newsome's take on him.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Time for one of us to edit it then lo

lIf we get another Kirby anime, I want BDee and Galacta Knight in it

 

[Geno Boost]

Geno's never going to happen, and his fans were lucky enough to get a Mii costume given his irrelevancy and unimportance to both Mario and Square.

You didn't come from the future to tell us if he is going to happen or not in the next smash game.
