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

[Deleted member]

I'm only going to buy Birthright as well. Oh, and the Anna DLC(and maybe 1 more/ 3DS theme if I have enough) . After the 4th I'll only have about £3-4 worth of eShop money and I am not planning to top up until the NX. Which I probably won't buy in the first year if it is the handheld.

I'm buying Conquest but part of me wants to buy Birthright too mainly because of the story
I don't see Corrin choosing Nohr over Hoshido having as much as of a personal impact on the characters as the opposite has
After all, betraying the people you grew up with instead of the ones you just met is heartwranching imo

 

[Senselessbreak]

So I made this a while back, but figured I'd post it now. I pretty much ranked potential Smash 5 characters by likely, unlikely, and dark horse. Even though a proper Smash 5 is far away, its always exciting to start speculation for the next game.

Wow I thought Graves jungle was a joke about trolling.

Graves jungle is an ACTUAL thing.


Holy **** RIOT how the **** do you manage to ruin the jungle THAT bad that an ADC can be played there in LCS
Holy **** you guys have no idea how absurd that is. For those that don't know LOL that would be like if you tried to play as a ranged zoner. Cap has no ranged moves.

I am dumbfounded right now.

Lemme put it this way.

Graves currently has the HIGHEST WINRATE IN THREE ROLES, Top, Jungle AND ADC.

If you know what's good for you, ban Graves.

I think that we should see how well Corrin sells.

I predict that the DLC character that sells the lowest will be put on low priority for the next game, however that's just a prediction of mine.

Who do you think the lowest selling DLC character would be?

(IKB @Zoroarking says it's Roy )

To be fair, most DLC at this point of a game's lifetime sells the least

It's the whole reason devs push out DLC so early in a game's lifetime.

Although, I suppose Smash may be different.

So I see a Super Mario Bros. 1 ROM hack called "Naked Princess Peach ****s the **** Nazis" (I wish I could be more clear on the censored words but I don't want a warning) and it's filled with offensive hate text, and lots of adult/sexual images & swastikas.

Are you sure it was intended as comedy. Sounds like a 13 year old's idea of satire but you can never be sure.

Anyway, I now own all 3 yarn yoshi amiibos!

I also got Lucas and lots of nice badges today on badge arcade.

With Dark Samus canonically dead I would put it as a darkhorse.
I would also move Chibi robo to darkhorse and EBA to unliekly

Can't believe you forgot

That would probably be what "wolf link" is for

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Warwick support.
Don't you talk to me about absurd.

H...How do you even. I'm glad I've never ran into this then. Unless this was something old, this just sounds so stupid.

RIOT games. Please. Get a balance team that understands basic logic

Please.

Expecting Riot to make a character with good balance on release is asking too much from them.

I think the new champion Jhin is alright apparently, and Illaoi is only ridiculous if you 1v1 her. But before that, I remember there being complaints on one of the newer champions (Ekko) being stupid.

They're also buffing Xin Xao in one of the upcoming patches apparently.

Xin Xao.

An already good champion is getting buffs to make him better.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Even if censored out, I'd be weary of posting about that Wario Bros.

What about the mega yarn Yoshi? It's technically it's own separate amiibo, if only in Mario Maker.

I'm only going to buy Birthright as well. Oh, and the Anna DLC(and maybe 1 more/ 3DS theme if I have enough) . After the 4th I'll only have about £3-4 worth of eShop money and I am not planning to top up until the NX. Which I probably won't buy in the first year if it is the handheld.

There's DLC... For a UNIT!?

And one that should've been in the main game might I add?

Good lord this game is the definition of mismanaged.

Started out fine.

Then it turned into fantasyland at the end.

....I mean, DLC for Mario Tennis, ya right!

 

[wedl!!]

I don't get why League players fetishize role binaries so much.

Like if a char has tools to do something that isn't their normal role what's the issue?

Naga Siren goes from being a flashfarming late-game carry in one game to being a 4 position roaming, disabling support. Flexibility is a good thing.

This is good but there are some things I'd like to change...

For starters, I don't think Linkle, Anna, Fiora, or Baito are really dark horses, they all seem likely due to their own respective reasons, Linkle may become a staple to the Zelda series at some point, Anna has appeared in almost every Fire Emblem game and is currently one of the most requested, Fiora is building a reputation for herself with Project X Zone 2 and (Sort of) Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Baito seems to fit the role of a joke character.

I also don't think Cross is that likely, he's not even the game's main focus.

So here's a 98.774% likely fake leak of a Nintendo Direct happening on the 3rd that I've found on VGChartz but is from 4Chan

Assuming this were to be real, it'd have to be a case of each region having different, tailoured directs, rather than a global one, with this being the American one.

Reason being that Xenoblade Chronicles has been on the European eShop for a while now.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

You wanna talk stupid champion design?

Yasuo, that is all.

Funny enough I don't have much of a problem with Yasuo nowadays. Unless he gets fed. Then he becomes a problem.

I don't get why League players fetishize role binaries so much.

Like if a char has tools to do something that isn't their normal role what's the issue?

Naga Siren goes from being a flashfarming late-game carry in one game to being a 4 position roaming, disabling support. Flexibility is a good thing.

I'm personally fine with champions going to other roles they usually don't go into...so long as it makes sense.

I'll accept something like Tryndamere jungle, Taric top, Teemo support, Varus mid, Sona mid, so on.

But when I see stuff like Bard ADC, Nasus jungle, Garen support, and Rengar mid, I start to question how you can do well in those positions.

However, I'm not that amazing at League and can barely understand it at a competitive viewpoint, so I shouldn't be the one who gets to have a lot of opinions on stuff like that.

So I made this a while back, but figured I'd post it now. I pretty much ranked potential Smash 5 characters by likely, unlikely, and dark horse. Even though a proper Smash 5 is far away, its always exciting to start speculation for the next game.

Bowser Jr. at risk? Excuse me? How?

 

[Burruni]

Bowser Jr. at risk? Excuse me? How?

Time constraints.
He barely got into Smash 4 for the very same reasons.
That would be it.

 

[ChikoLad]

I think Rosalina is perfectly safe.

Universe needs it's god and guardian.

 

[NintenZ]

Time constraints.
He barely got into Smash 4 for the very same reasons.
That would be it.

This was also the case for Wolf, and we all know what happened to him...

*Cough* Me *Cough*

(Also that Jeanne alt looks pretty sick if you ask me)

 

[BluePikmin11]

That English subtitles for Mother 3 sounds very plausible.

As disappointing as that is, I find that leak very possible.

 

[Chrono.]

So here's a 98.774% likely fake leak of a Nintendo Direct happening on the 3rd that I've found on VGChartz but is from 4Chan

Spoiler: sorta long

Nintendo Direct 2.3.2016



I got this information from a trustworthy source at NoA. So let's get started.



- "Xenoblade Chronicles X: The Secret of Mira" announced as a Story DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles X. It takes place 3 years after the events of the main game and humanity has found another continent on Mira. The player explores this new continent through this additional 10 hours campaign. However, the player must have finished the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles X before he can play this DLC. Xenoblade Chronicles X: The Secret of Mira will launch later this year.

- New trailer for Fire Emblem Fates. Game launches as previously announced on 2/19.

- New trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. The game features a Hero Mode and allows easy inventory control with the gamepad. It also includes an updated version of Link's Crossbow Training. This version uses the Wii U Gamepad as a controller to aim. Players who own the Wii version can also use the Wii Zapper. Twilight Princess HD launches on 3/4.

- "Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenges" announced for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eshop. In this game you use your amiibo of characters from the Super Mario series to play stages based on that character. The game supports the amiibo of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Bowser and Bowser Jr. It will launch on Nintendo eshop on 2/11 for free until 3/31. Starting 4/1 it will cost $7.99.

- New trailer for Pokken Tournament that shows Greninja and Jigglypuff as new playable fighters. The game also supports the amiibo of Pikachu, Mewtwo, Lucario, Charizard, Greninja and Jigglypuff. They can be used like in Super Smash Bros or Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash as a computer player that can be leveled up and against whom you can fight. The Pokemon amiibo line will start in May with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Machamp, Blaziken and Gardevoir. More Pokemon amiibo will follow afterwards. Pokken Tournament will launch on 3/18.

- "Detective Pikachu: Mysterious Cases" announced for Nintendo 3DS. The game will launch on 2/25 on the 3DS eshop.

- new trailer for Star Fox Zero that shows a local coop multiplayer mode and some new stages. Star Fox Zero will also support amiibo. On 4/22 three amiibo from the Star Fox series will launch: Arwing, Landmaster and Gyrowing. Tapping a amiibo will unlock missions based on the vehicle of the amiibo. Star Fox Zero will launch on 4/22. A bundle including a Arwing amiibo and a copy of the game will launch on the same day. There will also be a 3-pack including the Arwing, Landmaster and Gyrowing amiibo on the same day.

- Pikmin 4 announced. The game will take place in the human world where the player explores old factories or school buildings. It also introduces a new type of Pikmin: the Dig Pikmin. These Pikmin can dig under earth and can pass walls that way. Pikmin 4 will also be compatible with amiibo. The game will launch in summer 2016.

- New content announced for Super Mario Maker. A free update on 2/9 will bring colored pipes, fire brothers, star coins, Ice flowers and a feature with which you can upload speedruns of levels to YouTube (Google Account required). On the same day the first wave of paid DLC will arrive. The first pack includes the winter theme and winter enemies like Cooligans and Flipruses. The next packs are: Mountains theme (March), Swamp theme (May) and Desert theme (June).

- "Box-Boy: Blocks over Blocks" announced for 3DS eshop. This time Qbby has two different blocks to use adding a whole new level of strategy. Box-Boy: Blocks over Blocks will launch shortly after the presentation.

- DLC announced for Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. There will be 4 packs with each including 2 new characters and two new dream courts. The first pack will include Koopa and Paratroopa and the stages "Mushroom Kingdom" and "Luigi's Mansion". This pack will be available on 3/9. The other 3 packs will follow afterwards. Alongside the first pack a free update will be released adding ring and item battles as well as a tourney mode.

- more Wii disc games are heading to Wii U eshop. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be available on 2/4, Kirby's Epic Yarn on 3/3 and Xenoblade Chronicles on 4/7.

- new Splatoon amiibo announced: Marie, Callie and Octoling. Like the first 3 amiibo those will also unlock new singleplayer stages. These new amiibo will launch in April.

- Mother 3 localization announced. The game will be called "Earthbound 2" in the west and will feature english subtitles. It will launch on Wii U eshop after the presentation.

- The presentation ends with a new teaser for The Legend of Zelda for Wii U. A dedicated presentation about the new Zelda game for Wii U will be hosted in March.

You lost me at 98.774% likely

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Only adjustments I'D say.
Magolor for Kirby Dark Horse.

Considering the fact he's only had one role where he was actually important, he's about as unlikely as Gooey, Rick, or Adeleine.

BAYOBOYS

I'll be the best Bayo main this thread shall ever see

I'm not sure how happy WhiteEaglePL will be about this...

 

[BluePikmin11]

Didn't Xenoblade X have all its DLC come out in Japan though?

 

[Shroob]

Funny enough I don't have much of a problem with Yasuo nowadays. Unless he gets fed. Then he becomes a problem.

A good Yasuo is hell to deal with. Ridiculously short CD dash that can be used to LH, resourceless, and guaranteed 100% crit with two items. Not only that, but I think they actually buffed Statikk Shiv recently.

 

[Burruni]

Considering the fact he's only had one role where he was actually important, he's about as unlikely as Gooey, Rick, or Adeleine.

I'm not sure how happy WhiteEaglePL will be about this...

I'd say Dark Horse because despite 1 huge role he is MASSIVELY popular for Japan requests.
Like.. a top 10/15.
