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

[Khoru]

It's cool and surprising that a lot of you included Waddle Dee in your rosters.
I honestly don't know if he is that likely considering Sakurai didn't even add a trophy of him in Smash 4.

At this point, I just hope he did well in the ballot and that he appears in the next Kirby game with a new ability or something.
Ugh.

i feel that his only shot at this point is if someone other than sakurai is directing
sakurai hasn't shot him down as he has ridley, but his bias towards whatever kirby stuff he made is blatantly obvious

[Champ Gold]

Does the series sell so badly they have to add a stripping mechanic to try and up the sales a few

Nobody gave a damn about Medanots before and they never will.

It's why games like Custom Robo, Gotcha Force and LBX never sells.

The games are great but don't attract that audience it needs.

It's harsh but the truth. Same goes for Pokemon Clones/Killers except for Digimon, Megaman Battle Network and Yokai Watch in Japan

Resident Evil 4.

 

[wildvine47]

So we're doing Smash 5 rosters now then, eh? Well here's my halfway-between-realistic-and-wishlist shotgun roster, meaning it's less that I think we'll be getting everyone on the roster, and more that I think these are the potential candidates. An 82 character roster sounds like the greatest Smash Bros. game of all time, but is unlikely as all hell.

So, reasonings.

First up, the only cuts are the three really cloney clones, who all get shuffled into their originals ala Alph/Olimar. I have a hard time letting go of people, can you tell.

Also, Wolf and Ice Climbers are back, along with Snake, provided Konami gets their **** together.

First Party Newcomers: 16

Spoiler: Captain Toad

Captain Toad: Rising star within the Mario series, as well as a way to finally give Toad his well-deserved Smash Bros. slot whilst still keeping Peach's counter intact. Nabbit may well usurp the position of next-in-line Mario character by the time the game actually rolls around, but for now I think Cap's got the position of next Mario character on lock. However, it'll really depend on whether or not Captain Toad becomes a franchise or if it was just a one time spinoff. If it is just a one-off though and Nabbit doesn't continue his own rise to stardom, there may well not even be a Mario newcomer come Smash 5.

Spoiler: Dixie Kong

Dixie Kong: Already relevant thanks to Tropical Freeze, and I fully expect there to be another DKC by the time Smash 5 rolls around. Definitely has the moveset potential and popularity as well. I do think that even if nothing at all changes from now until Smash 5 for the DK franchise, she's still got a really good shot. I'm honestly still surprised that neither her nor K. Rool made it into Smash 4, especially Dixie considering her position in Brawl's Forbidden Seven. Hopefully Smash 5 is kinder to the DK series than Smash 4 was, because man did it get shafted hard.

Spoiler: King K. Rool

King K. Rool: I know people are already losing faith in the guy, but as was stated early on in the life of the ballot, the results aren't only going to be used for Smash 4. K. Rool may not have made enough of a splash in the ballot to beat out Bayonetta, but I'd be willing to bet that his numbers in the ballot were still strong enough to make waves with Nintendo and ensure his return to the DK franchise at the very least. Add that to Retro Studios (the company most likely to make the next DK game) taking note of K. Rool's fanbase during Smash 4's speculation period, and I'd be very surprised if K. Rool didn't make his triumphant return to gaming within the next few years. And as soon as he does make his return, he instantly shoots up to the top of the likelihood charts, as that (aside from Sakurai's imagined bias against the DK franchise) is really the only thing that stood in his way.

Spoiler: Impa

Impa: I know, I know, Hyrule Warriors isn't going to be relevant by the time Smash 5 rolls around. And I agree, it won't be. But, I see two scenarios, both of which are likely IMO, that would keep her relevant. Scenario A: Impa has a notable role in Zelda U. Impa will almost definitely be in Zelda U in some fashion, as the only main console Zelda she's entirely skipped has been Wind Waker, but what would make or break her chances is what kind of role she'll take. If she takes the role of grandma mctutorial like she has in the past, it's not going to help her any. But I feel it's much more likely she'll have a Skyward Sword-esque role in Zelda U, based on how well her SS incarnation was received, and with a younger version of her double-featuring alongside Link himself in Hyrule Warriors's debut. Scenario B: There's a Hyrule Warriors sequel on NX. This is probably the more likely option, but that will help Impa less. The Dynasty Warriors series that HW branches off from is a franchise that takes very few breaks, churning out sequels pretty quickly to the point that it's already at it's eighth game (not counting spinoffs and Deluxe editions) in the franchise since debuting in 1997. And considering that Hyrule Warriors sold like gangbusters compared to the rest of the DW franchise, I'd be very surprised if we didn't get a sequel on the next Nintendo console. I mean, in less than a year they churned out a DX version with Legends, so I'd bet money on Hyrule Warriors being a continuing spinoff franchise, and bringing the fan-favorite Impa interpretation along with it. So two scenarios in which she can very much stay relevant, along with her lack of any real long-term competition, and I'd say she's definitely got the spot of next Zelda rep in the bag, unless Zelda U REALLY shakes things up.

Spoiler: Pokemon and Fire Emblem

New Pokemon and Fire Emblem characters: This one is pretty much a given. This game has proven that there's very few patterns that can be adhered to with Smash, but if there's three that can be relied on, they're at least one Retro character, and the latest Pokemon and Fire Emblem breakouts. Exactly who will probably be tricky to decide on once we get there, but at least one character from the latest Pokemon/FE game is a no brainer at this point.

Spoiler: Ridley

Ridley: Never giving up on him til the day I die, baby. Best I can hope for with regards to Ridley now is A. a more Smash-fitting design arises by the time of Smash 5, B. a change in director for Smash 5, or C. Sakurai changes his damn mind. But I'm still gonna push for him until the next time he gets deconfirmed. Once a space pirate, always a space pirate.

Spoiler: Samurai Goroh

Samurai Goroh: Probably one of the most "wishlist" characters on here, but he's there partially in the vain hope that there will be a new F-Zero ever. If there is, he's definitely next in line considering he's still holding on to his coveted Assist Trophy spot. His only real competition is Black Shadow, but from what I know, he died in GX, so he's not coming back any time soon.

Spoiler: Medusa

Medusa: Another "wishlist"-esque character, but this one being much more likely. If there's another Kid Icarus game, which I'd bet on there being one at some point, Medusa would definitely be involved. Depending on the details of the game, she'd probably have some competition, but she's the safest bet IMO alongside being my personal choice. Also Dark Pit can choke to death on a bag of *****.

Spoiler: Elma

Elma: With Xenoblade becoming a running franchise, as well as the sequel hook that XCX supposedly ends on, I see Elma, XCX's real star, going on to bigger and better things. She's already got a pretty nice resume as is, one that I can only see getting stronger in the time between now and Smash 5.

Spoiler: Isaac

Isaac: Another character I refuse to let go of, but Isaac at least doesn't have the directorial problems that Ridley has standing in his way. Much like with K. Rool, I'd bet that Isaac's no-doubt strong showing in the ballot has made some of the higher-ups at Nintendo turn their heads, and with Camelot always talking about how they'd like to do another Golden Sun game, I'd say Isaac's showing in the ballot may just be the ticket they need to get it greenlit. But, if there isn't another GS between now and the next Smash, he's dead in the water. Sad, but at that point GS as a franchise will have been long dead. I prefer to think more optimistically though.

Spoiler: Marshal

Marshal: We know from leftover files that a Rhythm Heaven fighter was planned, at the very least. Who exactly it was opens a huge Gematsu-shaped can of worms that I'd rather not get into, but I'd be willing to bet the concept of an RH character will be revisited come next Smash, ala Villager, and that Marshal, who's basically the mascot of RH, will fill that role, probably with a Game & Watch-esque moveset consisting of props and characters from all the RH microgames.

Spoiler: Andy

Andy: Probably my biggest leap and the most dependent on prediction. I debated for a long time whether or not to include Chibi-Robo or an Advance Wars character, and in the end decided on an Advance Wars because I feel that there's much more chance for a series future with Advance Wars than with Chibi-Robo, who bombed hard with ZipLash and I don't think has much of a chance to recover. Advance Wars I'd normally put in the same boat, but in light of the recent upsurge in regards to the Fire Emblem franchise, I decided on including it based on a few risky predictions. Fire Emblem Awakening was meant as a franchise swan song/last ditch effort, and it paid off in spades, leading to much of the whole Fates situation we're looking at RN. Where I think Advance Wars might fit into that success is my prediction that Intelligent Systems is going to try something similar with an Advance Wars reboot. A new Advance Wars game with the kind of characterization, plot, and accessibility that Awakening and Fates have. It's a pretty big stretch, but something that I could see IS doing in a similar fashion to how Awakening was done as a series last ditch effort. And since IS has shown interest in doing another Advance Wars game in recent years, I don't think it's too far outside the realm of possibility. And if said game does occur and does as well as Awakening did, I'd consider at least one AW character a lock, with Andy filling that spot on my roster, either for himself if he's in the reboot, or for the MC of the New AW, if it is to happen.

Spoiler: Inklings

Inklings: If there were ever such thing as a shoe-in, it'd be the Inklings. Hell if the NX Smash rumor is true and there are a few bonus characters, they'd be the first ones I'd bet on, hands down.

Spoiler: Takamaru and Sukapon

Takamaru and Sukapon: I couldn't pick which of these two to include on the roster, so instead I went for both, for a Little Mac/Duck Hunt parallel deal. Takamaru paralleling Little Mac by being the Assist Trophy who gets a retro revival/reboot in the years between now and the next Smash that leads to his promotion, and Sukapon following in Duck Hunt's pawsteps by being the long-time darkhorse character who gets in as the patented Retro/WTF pick. There's plenty of other options for said retro pick, but I feel Sukapon's position within the Smash fanbase mirrors Duck Hunt's quite a bit, and the fact that we know Sakurai's considered him in the past I think gives him a bit more steam than most of the remaining retros.

Third Party Newcomers: 8

Spoiler: Tails

Tails: To put it shortly, if any 3rd party franchise is going to get a second character, it's Sonic, and if Sonic gets any new character, it's going to be Tails. You can have your Knuckleses and your Shadows and your Amies, but Tails has and always will be the Luigi to Sonic's Mario, and I can't see pretty much any other character beating Tails to the punch for that slot. The only other character I'd give a second thought to is Eggman for having just as much if not more of a resume than Tails does, but in the end, I'd more expect Eggman and Tails to both show up together as newcomers than I would Eggman alone. After all, Luigi did come before Bowser.

Spoiler: Chun-Li

Chun-Li: Here's where I'm probably going to get controversial. I think Chun-Li stands a better chance than pretty much any other remaining Capcom rep. Street Fighter is huge. Like, Capcom's biggest franchise huge. Megaman is by far the biggest Capcom star overall, but Megaman's co-stars don't have nearly as much star power as the Man himself. The closest I'd say to following Megaman in terms of iconicity would be either Dr. Wily or Cutman/Gutsman, but none of them really reach the same heights as others in consideration. By comparison, Chun-Li is almost as well-known as Ryu himself, and her star power greatly outstrips anyone the Megaman series has to offer. Add that to Street Fighter and Chun herself definitely still being relevant well into the future with SFV, whilst also being overall the better-selling franchise than Megaman, and I'd give her the edge over almost any other Capcom suggestion. Phoenix Wright, whilst definitely being the next most popular suggestion behind the two already in Smash, pales in comparison in terms of star power or sales compared to either Street Fighter or Megaman. The only other series I'd consider on equal standing would be Resident Evil, as the best selling Capcom franchise period, but it runs out of steam due to there being no singular iconic protagonist, unlike SF and MM. The closest to that is Jill Valentine due to being the first protag, but even then she's nowhere near the level of Ryu or Megaman. Of all of Capcom's options, Chun-Li has the perfect combination of star power, recognizability, franchise/company importance, and moveset potential to make her next in line for Capcom's Smash Bros. contribution.

Spoiler: Heihachi

Heihachi: Probably one of the safest bets of all my third party adds, we know thanks to Source Gaming that Heihachi barely didn't make the roster this time. With Namco having their Pac-shaped foot in the door, and with Sakurai's penchant to revisit dropped ideas, as well as Heihachi bringing the power of the Tekken franchise behind him, I'd say he's got Hei hopes for Smash 5.

Spoiler: Simon Belmont

Simon Belmont: If Konami can get their act together by the time Smash 5 comes out, on which YMMV, first they'd bring back Snake (please). And then, we'd get Simon. As the most iconic of the Castlevania protags, and for being a series that has it's origins almost as rooted in Nintendo as Megaman does, Castlevania and Simon Belmont are the quintessential Konami second rep for Smash. Had Snake not beaten them to the punch with Kojima and Sakurai's friendship, I'd say he'd be THE Konami representative for Smash, and aside from Snake being there, I don't think that Castlevania's importance has changed at all. But, it all revolves around Konami stopping their idiocy. If it happens, Snake is back and Simon becomes a frontrunner. If not, neither stands a chance. It's a crapshoot at this point, and one hell of an aggravating waiting game.

Spoiler: Rayman

Rayman: He's got three trophies in the game already. If that's not an indication of how close he and Ubisoft are to Nintendo, and how close he probably made it to being in this game, I don't know what is. One of my biggest DLC surprises was honestly that Rayman didn't end up being DLC in the end. But, I consider him pretty much THE third party candidate come Smash 5, considering he got as close as he did.

Spoiler: Banjo-Kazooie

Banjo-Kazooie: Much like K. Rool and Isaac, I'd bet their showing on the ballot is going to make Nintendo pay attention. But, they have the mother of all obstacles to deal with, that being their ownership by a rival company. Whether or not Nintendo wants to navigate that minefield to match the fan demand is anyone's guess, but if the miracle of Cloud being in Smash is any indication, they do pay attention to long-term wishes that may have once seemed impossible. The situation is much different with BK, but Microsoft has shown willingness to cooperate and work with Nintendo, and I don't doubt Nintendo's ability to work miracles when they want to. In the end, a miracle's a miracle, but I'd rather hope for this one in vain and dream of what could be.

Spoiler: Ryu Hayabusa

Ryu Hayabusa: Whilst he does lack the star power of the other third parties, Ryu Hayabusa's chances are no joke when it comes to Smash 5. He's got a pretty big franchise on his side with Ninja Gaiden, an important Nintendo origin, and most importantly, Koei-Tecmo, a parent company that right now, has one of the best relationships with Nintendo period, with very few other companies reaching that mark. Nintendo's allowed them to work on not only Metroid, (which had... less than stellar results, but the point still stands that they trusted them with it) but also Zelda, one of their most treasured and beloved series. Nintendo and Koei are incredibly buddy-buddy right now, and if Hyrule Warriors Legends and their involvement in Starfox Zero is anything to go by, that's not stopping anytime soon. With all that in mind, adding their biggest star, Ryu Hayabusa, to Smash seems like the next logical step for the two companies' continued collaboration.

Spoiler: Scorpion

Scorpion: Probably the biggest WTF on my roster, one that I fully agree with, and I see Scorpion being more of a Cloud situation in terms of being a huge impossible shock when he's revealed versus being a natural though. But here's why I think he's possible. Smash is inevitably going to have to reach out to more and more third party companies in the future to keep the big hits rolling. Smash 4's biggest bombshells were almost all third party characters, and I don't see that slowing down in future installments. And of the gaming icons left, I don't think any bigger gaming icons that aren't in Smash now than Scorpion. Mortal Kombat is a massive, incredibly successful franchise, with it's tenth main series game launching this year to rave reviews and reception. It's also one of the most recognizable franchises of all time, and Scorpion himself is one of the biggest gaming icons of all time. Most anyone, even if they're not into gaming, knows about Mortal Kombat, knows about the famous quotes of "FINISH HIM", "GET OVER HERE", and "FATALITY". Mortal Kombat, when it launched, was a huge cultural phenomenon that not only was big enough to basically be one of the two grandfathers of the fighting genre alongside Street Fighter and spawn countless other series in it's wake, but also impacted gaming history FOREVER by being the reason the rating system exists in the first place. Mortal Kombat's history is also closely tied to Nintendo, with the franchise originating there and having been on every Nintendo main console since then, with the Wii U being the one exception so far. Scorpion has become one of the most recognizable gaming characters period, with his famous yellow ninja attire and skeletal head under his mask. Even the concept of pulling someone with a rope in them in videogames now is almost always tied to the phrase "GET OVER HERE", whether in-game or the player themselves. And what once was Mortal Kombat's biggest stopping point, the violence and maturity of his series compared to the other franchises features has been torn apart thanks to Bayonetta's inclusion, considering her franchise is just as notable for it's horrific gory violence and mature content. Not only that, but games such as MK vs. DC and his appearance in Injustice show that Scorpion, like Bayonetta, can exist outside of his brutal fatalities and still stay true to the character. So overall Scorpion is one of, if not THE most iconic and popular videogame characters not yet in Smash, he and his franchise have a history not only with Nintendo consoles but also impacted gaming history as a whole, and his biggest holdup, the violence, is completely nullified with Bayonetta's inclusion. All he's missing at this point is the push for him to be in Smash Bros. in the first place, and in the years following Bayonetta's inclusion, I expect that realization and desire to develop and grow.

And there you have it. My overly long explanation for a highly unrealistic roster.

 

[Frostwraith]

Oh Medabots, them times man....

You could say the same for a lot of Japanese series. Companies get desperate so they sell out to the lowest common denominator.

One of the oldest tricks in the book. And it always works (sadly).

 

[Kenith]

I'm assuming Swamp Sensei is referring to a bit of news for "Girls' Mission".

There's a kind of a stripping mechanic in it.

Edit: Source http://gematsu.com/2016/02/medabots-girls-mission-clothes-tearing-hyper-finish-attack

Isn't a series about robots?
I like cheesecake but that isn't what I play games about robots for, you know?

 

[Chrono.]

There's a Tales sale on PSN, more importantly, both Xillias are extremely cheap now.

Good time to jump to the games if anyone wants to get them.

 

[Burruni]

Meanwhile.
We have a series where the protagonist who was one of the most pronounced for "pandering" design who in its reboot lost that (along with any amount of snark or actual appealing character design internally or externally).

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Nobody gave a damn about Medanots before and they never will.

It's why games like Custom Robo, Gotcha Force and LBX never sells.

The games are great but don't attract that audience it needs.

It's harsh but the truth. Same goes for Pokemon Clones/Killers except for Digimon, Megaman Battle Network and Yokai Watch in Japan

LBX looked kind of fun, but I don't really want to pay full price for it...

 

[Curious Villager]

Yeah, it's sad though. I remember watching the show a lot and playing the GBA games back in the day. It's sad to see it having to sell itself out like that out of desperation now.... :/

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

We're sharing rosters eh? This one was fitting the same rules of the "If you're In charge of Smash 5" thread with the 70 character limit and I can say some of it is a bit wishful (but it's obviously not realistic since Sakurai like's the skew most predictions like he always do). Anyways, please take look.

Note: The row at the bottom easily represents characters alts. Cross, Ms. Pac, and Daisy seem like great choices for new outfits.

[Champ Gold]

I remember watching Medabots as a kid... Jeez, that was so long ago...

I remember there were a lot of anime shows back then. In addition to popular stuff like Dragon Ball and Pokémon, I also remember Digimon Adventure, Digimon Tamers, Doraemon, Yu-gi-oh!, Beyblade and several others. I also remember watching one of Miyazaki's films, Sprited Away.

So yeah, I've liked anime since a very young age. I did watch other animated series though

Same here but it had some Monster Rancher, Sailor Moon, Gundam, Megaman NT Warrior, F-Zero, Kirby, One Piece.....and Sonic X


There was also Vandred but I remember absolutely nothing from it

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I don't mind Reboot Lara, but compared to classic Lara. She really does lack quite a bit of fun in her character.

Everything with Reboot Lara is deathly serious, even when she says funny things it's played off more serious.

Whereas Classic Lara was pretty much a fun zany action hero who made one liners everywhere and snarked her way through her adventures.

I prefer Classic Lara, but Reboot Lara works for her games themes I suppose.

Dude, this is on console. I said PSN.

That being said, idk how long the sale is for, could be all week.

 

[Frostwraith]

How is it sad if it makes a profit and pleases some degree of customers?

It's sad because the market loses heterogeneity.

Stuff like that is why 90% of anime is moe garbage, harem **** and, in general, the medium losing its respectability and having a fanbase that's beyond toxic and only foments more and more stereotypes.

I don't know, I'm just pro-innovation. The video game industry also suffers from similar oversaturation in the West with generic FPS's and sports games being released annually and offering little more than a thousand titles did before.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Dude, this is on console. I said PSN.

PSN is Playstation lol

I AM A DUMB

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I actually prefer Lara as she is currently. Makes for a nice opposite to the wisecracking Nathan Drake.

Drake's a great protagonist but I don't think Lara should lose her agency on wisecracking just to counter him. Especially when she was around first and it's what made her the icon she is.

It's the same concept that makes me angry she's basically starring in Uncharted: Female Survival Edition these days.

 

[Fenriraga]

So wait, how do we know Bayo and Corrin are tomorrow afternoon? Just so I know not to stay up like a dummy :V

Because of the uncertainty of the newer games. We will probably get a Gen 7/8 rep, a new Zelda character probably from the new Wii U game and as for that last spot, is a wild card spot.

As in for a character that comes in the near future where they get a new franchise and it goes off like with Shulk and Xenoblade

I said to assume as if it would release at the end of this year though

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I can't get the Sale anyways as I don't own a PS3.

Now I'm sad.

 

[Burruni]

See.
Personally.
feels like Lara's spiritual ancestor.
Where an amount of sexuality is part of the character but the main appeal is in the wit and bravado core to her personality.
Maybe that's just me and why I can't seem to enjoy New Tomb Raider.

Har. Title.

So wait, how do we know Bayo and Corrin are tomorrow afternoon? Just so I know not to stay up like a dummy :V

Because it's 2/3 for US but 2/4 in Japan due to the timezones, more or less?

 

[Curious Villager]

Har. Title.

So wait, how do we know Bayo and Corrin are tomorrow afternoon? Just so I know not to stay up like a dummy :V

I'm fairly sure it was stated in a tweet by NoA that the final Smash DLC will be coming out for America in the afternoon and in the morning for Japan. (And more or less confirming midnight for Europe)

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Coricus trying to make that roster was too difficult. Honestly, as if I didn't realize it already, it really is too early to try and make a realistic roster.

---
I actually forgot to mention this earlier, but I did get Mario Kart 8 yesterday. One thing I am surprised by though is how there's literally no lag for online. I'm quite impressed by that.
... Still really ticked about Jr. getting cut though.

You do realize Tomb Raider Definite Edition is on PS4/Xbox One.

I gave my brother a copy of it for Christmas.

It cost at the least $15. GO GET IT

Don't feel too bad. I read that as Steam too



I still own Steam's Tomb Raider collection (which is a **** on of games)
I haven't even started it yet. . .

Now I'm sad.

You can get Zestiria at least.

It's not great but at least the PS4 version isn't completely jank.

So only one response thus far regarding my question, I'm still having a hard time choosing between RE:4 and Oddworld TBH.

Honestly wtf.

After seeing a cape reflecting Hard Knuckle UPWARDS to do an inverted spike...
The cape has no power to surprise me any more.

Edit:

RE4 if you want action.

Oddworld if you're in the mood for something weird.

I've heard good things about RE4 so you might want to try that if you want, I don't know much about the other.

I haven't played either of them though admittedly.

ou do realize Tomb Raider Definite Edition is on PS4/Xbox One.

I gave my brother a copy of it for Christmas.

It cost at the least $15. GO GET IT

You do realize I was talking about Tales games right?

Lmao.

Still, I can get the new Tomb Raider game for 15 bucks?

You can get Zestiria at least.

At this point, still no.

My PS4 is back at home and I don't think I can buy things online.

Adding to my post above, it doesn't mean that moe/harem anime or that FPSs and sports games should cease to exist...

That's why the concept of genres exist. The problem is when the market gets oversaturated with the same thing, companies demand more and more from creators that there's little room to create something different with those genres.

Oversaturation limits creativity. Smash Bros., for example, doesn't suffer from oversaturation because each release is usually 7 years apart. There's room for each game to have its spotlight and there's room for Sakurai to be more creative and have more time to develop each game.

And it shows as Brawl and Smash 4 started to feature more creative and different characters that provide with something new to the game.

If Smash Bros. became an annual series, it wouldn't have the same amount of hype and popularity it has.

I finally found the people who's reactions to Corrin were hype. They still thought 6 FE characters was off, but they thought it was hilarious and thought Corrin looked/was really aweso-

Oh crud someone on this video I'm watching commented on how nothing shocks them anymore after playing Bayonetta and got reminded that Bayonetta couldn't get in because they'd have to tone her down WHILE WATCHING CORRIN. This is gonna be good. XD

Wow, I just found out that some people think MLP has "Brilliant animation"

...

It looks like it was made in Flash and uses some generic adobe software strokes in it.
