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

[Deleted member]

I remember when i once played Crash 3 withouth a memory card and i made it into the last world. Unfortunately i was really tired and so i went to sleep.

 

[Kingslime304]

Here's what I found myself at FG: today:
Two Cloud players who spam F-Smash when I'm at high per., until I get stocked(One of them left after only one match).
A typical DeDeDe player who taunted at me with his crouch laying,
An awful Fox player
and A grab spamming Toon Link.

The Cloud, and Dedede players are the ones that made me the most salty.

 

[Radical Bones]

I haven't played FG in ages. I would lose big time.

Maybe I'll do some practicing tonight.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

My experience in FG has been alright so far. It's been a while since I played Sm4sh at all, but I can't recall running into people who were going out of their way to mock me or display any kind of frustration or "salt".

My first ever online match in Sm4sh in FF sucked hard though. It was a taunt group of three that, after a few seconds, started attacking me, even though I didn't do anything.

Wveryone knows the only true shippings are RobinXRobin and CorrinXCorrin

As for the anime talk, longest anime I FULLY watched was FMAB
I followed Naruto until the final arc but got bored during it, I think the series highest moment was the Pain Arc, after that, it's all downhill

5) "X character HANDEDLY defeats Y character that the audience knows is strong to further emphasize the power of Character X."

That's a trope called "The Worf Effect"
I don't see how it's a "sin" considering that it can be done greatly and is a quick way to emphasize how much of a threat the new character is
Yes, it generally backfires and ends up making the defeated character weak, but Tropes Are Tools
Best example for when it's used badly is with Sasuke from Naruto
He gets beaten by almost everyone in the First Part because he's almost always the target for the attempted Worf Effect(Kakashi, Rock Lee and Orochimaru), yet he's supposed to be one of the most powerful characters
Usually, in Anime, it's almost never done right, but in Chrono Trigger, for example, Magus is a threat through most of the game and his fight reflects that which itself is a Disc One Final Boss. Then comes the Ocean Palace and he isn't even able to scratch Lavos and gets defeated in one hit

FG on February will be nothing but a giant party of Bayonetta/Corrin antics.

 

[AreJay25]

Hey, at least it'll be two characters this time, and not 1 billion Clouds like last month.

 

[Kenith]

FG on February will be nothing but a giant party of Bayonetta/Corrin antics.

And dance parties.
So many dance parties.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I actually cared to raise my GSP.

So I'm constantly paired against really good opponents.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I might play a lot of FG for the first few days or weeks of their release, just to see how many awful Bayos and Corrins I run into.

That or I'll see if I can find any good players who practiced and adapted to them horrifyingly quickly.

I KNEW there was a name for it. (Thank you)
But, in a "cinemasins" fashion.
+1 sin for doing it.
-10 for doing it well.

Remove Corrin in that sentence, and you are even more true.

Wait, how does that work?
Can you do challenges and other minigames offline and get GSP?

The example that came to my mind is when Guiron defeated Gyaos without a problem in "Gamera vs Guiron"

...For some reason

 

[Deleted member]

Is this Advance Wars?

I'll have to mute my TV for a month with Bayonetta screaming louder than FNAF's jumpscares every five seconds

I don't even know what is that so...

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Even if many people weren't too happy about em at first I still expect to see lots of Corrins.

Bayos are probably gonna be the more common sighting of the two though.

 

[N3ON]

I pretty much play Smash locally like 98% of the time. But the people I play Smash with are weird. They see that a new character has shown up on the roster and most don't have any desire to try them out. And these are people who have sunk a fair amount of time into Smash.

Yet there are characters on the roster that they've just... never played as. Like, never. I don't get it. :/

Also GSP is one of the most pointless additions to any game ever. They should've done it the normal way, now the number is just super meaningless.

Legit Question: ¿What was Monstro (the giant whale from Pinocchio) doing in the middle of SPACE (sort of) in KH1?

Why is he there? How did he ended up there? How does a giant whale end up in the middle of SPACE?

 

[Fenriraga]

Wait, GSP effects the people who you will encounter online?

That would explain some things.

THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SYSTEM! IT LITERALLY DOES NOTHING ELSE!

 

[Shroob]

Well, I missed today's drama it seems. I can't complain.

Less than two days to go at this point.

The same logic that basically has all the movie plots of the Disney Worlds repeating themselves, only with Sora, Goofy, Donald, Heartless/Nobodies, magical powers and the occasional Final Fantasy character thrown into the mix.

If you really need a direct answer though, he probably sneezed himself so hard, that he flew out of the ocean and all the way into outer space.

**** you space whales that's why


That was also my least favorite world in the game (maybe even the series) so I cant defend it

 

[Kingslime304]

Reminder that the Smash 4 announcer used his announcer voice when he said Shrek, and Goku.

He lived on the Land of Departure in Birth By Sleep.
When Xehanort destroys it, he is discharge into space and imbued with the power of Darkness that stretches his body mass to the size of a small colony.

Edit: I have no idea; I'm just trying to tie the fact that his challenge event in BBS uses the land of departure for the stage in and honestly DDD could just have Prankster's Paradise anywhere. It could've very well been ON that planet and that's why Gepetto and Pi-- HOLY CRAP THEY WERE FROM THE LAND OF DEPARTURE!!!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

The Monstro "world" was weird beyond all reason, but I still enjoyed it, if mostly just for it's music.

Agrabah and The Halloween Town worlds will always be my favorites. The original Atlanta level was really fun too (they killed it in KH2, though.)

My favorite worlds from KH2 are Port Royal and the Pride Lands.

 

[Kenith]

That's literally the only way to do it.

That seems kind of a bad system be honest.
Hardcore competitive players aren't always completionists.

I...
I'm a little surprised.
Those are largely the two least liked worlds of KH2.
Port Royal because of the annoyance of the light mechanic and it just looking so clashing with the art style.
Pride Lands because Lion Sora being... uncomfortable AND IT ALL BEING SO DAMN EMPTY!

 

[A Distant Demon]

Favorite world in the series is easily Deep Jungle. 100%. Love that stage and its music. Admittedly didn't like the boss though >_>

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Its an awful system, but if you have a high GSP, you have to be good at the game.

So there's that I guess.

Too bad you'll never see it again because of Licencing.

(I can't think of a world I haven't disliked/hated a usage of in at least ONE of the game its present in)

Maybe I'm a little biased because I love Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time.

I like playing as Lion Sora though, sprinting and leaping throughout the pride lands and destroying all Heartless in sight. I liked all the boss fights in both too.

That was another world I really liked. I miss Tarzan's presence in the series.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My least favorite was mermaid Sora

Although I thought Turtle Goofy was kind of funny

 

[Deleted member]

Since we are on the topic of KH, is there any new world for KH that you would like to see?

I kinda want a Dumbo world with a boss fight against the pink elephants:

(never gonna happen but let me dream)

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Turtle and related species seem to be some kind of a Spirit Animal for Goofy, given what he turns to in other worlds.

Atlana: Sora becomes a mermaid. Donald is an octopus. Goofy is a turtle.

Pride Lands: Sora becomes a lion. Donald can fly. Goofy is tortoise.

 

[Roaring Salsa]

I can't wait to see the taunt matches once Rash is finally released in KI

 

[Shroob]

Wait, Tarzan has licensing issues?

Really? No wonder he wasn't in Chain of Memories.

Listen.
I don't know what to call it.
But we need a world the best Disney Princess in KH.

 

[Fenriraga]

Favorite World was Timeless River, shame it was as short as it ended up being. It was really clever.

Least favorite would have to be Wonderland. They just.... have yet to do that wacky world justice in KH. It's utterly boring.

 

[Burruni]

I..
I just realized.
That world is so perfect.
JUST so we can see the reflective bickering of Pete & Maleficient to Kronk & Yzma.
I knew I was going to be disappointed in Kh3.
But now I've set myself up for things I won't get.
