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

[ChikoLad]

I can't really decide on a #1 character that didn't make it. Rosalina was my #1 overall. Mega Man was #2. Palutena was #3, at least before she was revealed.

I might have to say Rayman, for no other reason than we got so much teasing for him, even if it was unintentional.

 

[Chrono.]

New Tekken 7 trailer.

Goes over the mechanics, as well as introducing Akuma and Nina.

 

[Curious Villager]

Now that DLC is finished, who was your #1 most-wanted newcomer that didn't make the cut this time? Aside from K. Rool and Ridley (and perhaps Inklings as well) as I know a lot of people will say them and the answers may be homogenous in that regard.

Mine was and always will be Toad, followed by Bandana Dee, Wonder Red, Dillon, Hawlucha, Sukapon, (Inklings) and Sami in any order.

My most wanted character was Professor Layton.

A bit of a shame the series didn't receive so much as a small acknowledgement but oh well....

 

[NintenZ]

@Warchamp7, thanks for the new/improved icons!

But I'm wondering,

 

[Deleted member]

I don't know what the point of these Monster Hunter vids are, but I love them.

 

[DMurr]

Looking at @Zoroarking's signature.. I'm like 90% certain now that Corrin has the same faces as Robin, lol.

 

[Kenith]

Thank you for that.......

Dude, I'm one of Midna's biggest supporters.
I was glad for the Assist Trophy.

 

[NintenZ]

Kenith , who is the last character in your signature?
Just out of curiosity.

 

[Wolfie557]

Dude, I'm one of Midna's biggest supporters.

I was really disapointed.....

Eventually I was glad as well tho. Then disapointed Zelda had NO newcomers. ;.; Midna, Ghirahim & Impa were some of the best choices by far.

Zelda has one of the most diverse characters for potential move sets in Smash. Along with Xenoblade, Kid Icarus & FE Imo.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Well, I got my most wanted in. Now for a small wishlist that Ive devised:

Inklings, Banjo and Kazooie, Conker, Daisy, Waluigi, Toad, Paper Mario, Tingle, Dixie Kong, Slippy, Shovel Knight, Braixen, Dewott, Slurpuff.

This is filled with bias.

Nah, clearly that's Little Mac's face

 

[Coricus]

This is about what my wishlist looks like:

Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, Tails, and Tails.

I think I'd also be happy with Tails, Tails, Inkling, Bandana Dee, Tails, and Tails, though.

I voted for Isaac in the ballot, but all of his supporters seem to have given up on him so I may as well, too.

Best chance Isaac has is Golden Sun 4, I don't see what else Isaac supporters can do but hope his ballot votes ensure that we want another game.

I too want Miles 'Tails' Prower tho.

Simon Belmont - Not happening unless Konami gets their act together, and even then, most people want Snake back first.
Zael - Not happening unless a miracle happens.

Ghirahim was also one of my most wanted prior to his Assist Trophy confirmation. I'm not furious, outraged, or sick with anger, though.

At least I got two of my most wanted characters.

Mine was Mecha-Fiora, whom I no longer consider a spoiler thanks to Project X Zone 2. I'm that weirdo who wanted Shulk and Fiora both and thought PXZ2 would help Fiora for Smash. Well, at least we did get Shulk. And maybe Fiora was put into PXZ2 because perhaps...they couldn't get her to work in Smash? The world may never know.

Others included Isaac, Neku (we got Cloud instead which I'm fine with but at least wanted that awesome TWEWY music), Elma, a Rhythm Heaven character, and Bandana Dee.

I also wanted Wolf and Snake to return. And Ice Climbers, but that would have to be under circumstances with no technical issues present.

 

[Aetheri]

Dude, I'm one of Midna's biggest supporters.
I was glad for the Assist Trophy.

Yeah I know...good to see some recognition but it was still a downer regardless....especially considering I barely see her even if I do on the off chance play with items...

It's very bittersweet....

 

[Wolfie557]

Side Taunt into Up Taunt into Down Taunt is the one true combo all Bayonetta mains should use.

 

[Kenith]

Midna and Ghirahim you mean. Impa doesn't really have anything to contribute for a unique moveset...at all. Canonically Impa is basically the same thing as Sheik, and Hyrule Warriors Impa is...essentially Cloud with water magic.

But yeah Zelda needs a newcomer...we might get one next game since it's been so long. (The last unique Zelda character was Zelda/Sheik in Melee)

 

[Chandeelure]

My most wanted Zelda character is unique Ganondorf.

 

[ChikoLad]

While I don't think Bayonetta will touch being top tier in competitive play, she's definitely top tier in this:

 

[Frostwraith]

Just started checking out miiverse posts in the Smash group.

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHk4Z1Q9Xw
I LOVE MIIVERSE. <3 sometimes.

Amazing.

Corrin does have a similar design to Arceus... They are both based on the Qilin, a type of Chinese dragon, after all.

And Pittoonetta strikes back again...

They're series that always introduce new characters in each game, so it's natural there's a lot of potential for those.

Kinda a shame that Midna and Ghirahim didn't make it in, but their Assist Trophies are pretty faithful representations of them in regards to fighting abilities, so maybe they could expand on them in a future title and add them as playable characters.

Little Mac was an Assist Trophy in Brawl, after all. And guess what, all of the moves he used back then are incorporated into his moveset in Smash 3DS/Wii U. Same for his animations and overall attributes. Little Mac's moveset is essentially an expanded version of what he did in Brawl as an AT.

I mean, check this video at around 4:15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3G-kTCMoAc

Ghirahim practically has a whole moveset from his Assist Trophy.
He's really fleshed out.

Almost makes me think they had bigger plans for the guy. ;_;

Midna's doesn't really have anything to reuse tho. She just throws people and teleports.
Tho if she's by herself instead of mounted, I would love if Midna's AT idle pose is carried over when playable. It's grown on me.

 

[Con0rrrr]

My Smash 5/Smash NX wishlist is this:

Captain Toad
Ashley
Isaac
All Veterans
Ridley
Dixie
Knuckles/A Sonic Rep
Tetra

 

[Aetheri]

Impa's not quite as apparent as Midna or Ghirahim...though with her abilities from Skyward Sword I'm sure something interesting can be made....

Sakurai has made unique fighters with less afterall...

Though it doesn't help that Bayo's pretty much taken one thing that could've made Impa stand out with her witchtime...

Still can't get over her similarities to some of my wanted characters though...with her hair fists and everything...heck her wicked weaves function similarly to how I envision Dark Samus's smash attacks would work...(of course with use of Phazon and not hair)

 

[Wolfie557]

But don’t look for Platinum Games to slow down anytime soon. Minami explains that there’s always the goal of becoming one of the three top game studios in the world. This isn’t all talk, but motivation. Says Minami, “If you don’t have that kind of feeling, you can’t keep on going. Ten, twenty years from now, I want to aim even higher.”

I'M WITH YOU PG*. Hope your success continues!

 

[wildvine47]

Wishlist for the next Smash?

My top twelve then (cause the prompt said no Ridley and K. Rool and they're my top two, so I appended the next two in line after the main ten), in rough order of want:

Ridley
K. Rool
Impa
Scorpion
Isaac
Dark Samus
Medusa
Rayman
Samurai Goroh
Meowth
Skull Kid
Kamek

As for what I got in Smash 4, in the end I made out so-so. used to be my number 3 most wanted, was fourth and was somewhere around seventh up on my most wanted list pre-release. , and I also had some desire for but they definitely didn't break my top ten. So of my top ten newcomers I got three, which could've been worse. I did get and back though, which was really nice, especially in Roy's case because I didn't have high hopes for him.

I do think though that for the next Smash, things are looking up for K. Rool, Impa, Scorpion, Rayman, and maybe Isaac (depending on if his ballot demand does push into existence another Golden Sun.) Ridley depends on either directorial factors or whether or not a Smash-able design appears and Medusa relies on whether or not she features prominently in the next KI game. Dark Samus, Goroh, Meowth, Skull Kid and Kamek are all pretty much dead in the water though. The first four are largely either dead to their franchise or part of a dead franchise altogether, and Kamek gets to flip a coin as to whether or not Nintendo will make any one Magikoopa actually be him or make it just a generic Magikoopa at this point.

For the most part though my heart is behind the top 5. The others are wanted, but not nearly to the same extent.

I want to kill myself right now

Tho if she's by herself instead of mounted, I would love if Midna's AT idle pose is carried over when playable. It's grown on me.

If they do Midna by herself, the teleport could be her up special for recoveries and the grab would be, well, her grab.

As for Ghirahim, yeah, he pretty much has his whole set of moves as an assist. A full moveset would naturally take it from there. Teleport, knives and sword... A Final Smash would be either summoning Demise and becoming his sword (players would control Demise) or transform into his black form temporarily for stronger moves (like in Hyrule Warriors).

 

[Schnee117]

Kenith , who is the last character in your signature?
Just out of curiosity.

As I don't see a reply from Kenith I'm inclined to say it's the Bearer of the Curse (Player character) from Dark Souls 2.

 

[Kenith]

*Dark Souls.
We don't talk about Dark Souls 2.
...Even though it's the Dark Souls 2 armor...

When was this asked of me, exactly?

EDIT: Never mind, I saw it but never actually clicked it

 

[Schnee117]

Then that'd be the Chosen Undead tho

 

[Zzuxon]

If I were directing smash 5, I would implement a mechanic that would allow you to choose an assist on the CSS that you could summon after filling a meter, kind of like in MvC.
I think it'd be a cool mechanic, and I think it'd make being an assist a better consolation prize for those who wanted the character playable.

I would actually prefer her by herself and without Wolf Link....tho he can appear in her final smash. No, it must
be Twili Midna!

But I suppose they can use Wolf Link in some of her moves so some sort of mixture, kind of like in HW. Essentially as long as whatever moveset she gets is based on Midna herself and not be mostly Wolf Link doing the attacks, I'll be happy.

Midna's got a lot more than that....In addition to her teleporting ability and her hair hand she can also summon shadow wolves as seen in Hyrule Warriors (Midna is pretty well known for her association with wolves in general so it just makes sense)...she also can shoot small energy projectiles as well as phase through objects, and even imitate other characters (like what she did briefly for Colin and Ilia)...they could also implement the dark energy attack (used with Wolf Link but I can still see Midna do something similar on her own)...as well as the use of creative licence to showcase other forms of Twili magic...

I just rememvered that I was working on a solo Midna moveset a while back that I never finished...perhaps when I finishe my Elma moveset I'll see of I can get around to that...

Yes, I've always wanted this.
In a way, Assist Trophies are kind of a disservice to the people that wanted said characters because 9 times out of 10 they never can use them.

Then that'd be the Chosen Undead tho

I'm just calling him "Undead Warrior".
Because I imagine them having the two main armor sets are costumes.

While I like the idea and wouldn't mind ATs getting more love I assume this would be solo mode only or optional


Because having any AT Nightmare show up in the middle of a competitive match? Hoo boy does that sound obnoxious.

Even if Wolf Link was part of the deal...Midna is probably doing most of the work.
I for one greatly prefer them together.

Now that DLC is finished, who was your #1 most-wanted newcomer that didn't make the cut this time? Aside from K. Rool and Ridley (and perhaps Inklings as well) as I know a lot of people will say them and the answers may be homogenous in that regard.

Mine was and always will be Toad, followed by Bandana Dee, Wonder Red, Dillon, Hawlucha, Sukapon, (Inklings) and Sami in any order.

My most wanted character was King K. Rool, but we all know where that went. But that doesn't mean that I'll quit fighting for him since Donkey Kong Country needs more love in Smash.

Other characters I want include Krystal, a Fatal Frame character, any Hyrule Warriors character (Lana or Linkle), Toad (He's been long overdue), Banjo Kazooie, a Rhythm Heaven character, Elma/Fiora, Takamaru, a Nintendo Toy rep, and Ryu Hayabusa.

 

[Strofirko]

Why the protagonist can't be called of:
"The guy with the cool knight armor"
