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

SourceGaming needs to be the new DYKG. Not only are they super nice, unlike what I hear about the DYKG guy, they're just about always right.

There was some drama with this article:

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/20/dykgmis/

@PushDustIn would know more, and it's honestly the sort of thing we should probably drop. Long story short, though, they got a lot of their info through wikis (without sourcing) and were pretty offended at us for offering to help correct some of their old mistakes.

 

[Wolfie557]

I saw people pointing out how the Eggman reference was wrong.

Wonder what else is. lol

Oh it is SO wrong you don't understand.
Watch these instead:

DYKG one is quite good but others are better imo. The similarities to their Capcom past is are most obvious.
Kamiya said that the Eggman thing wasn't a reference to the Sonic character and just a coincidence....but it can be seen as a coincidental easter-egg. Everything else is fine.

What kind of Witch is Ashley? I'd love to know what she could do.

 

[Coricus]

You know, every time I play Great Cave Offensive, I think of how much better it would have been as a SSE-type Adventure Mode level than an ordinary level like it is now.

There's so much beautiful detail in there, but the screen zooms out so much in a multiplayer match that you're hardly ever going to actually notice it. If you were taking the time to fight scripted enemies and look for carefully hidden collectible goodies instead, I think it would be much easier to take all of the beautiful coloration and area variation in. Just make it a bit bigger, make every corner have something worth visiting for, and you've got a wonderful single player level.

In fact, I kind of have a similar issue with Smash Run. It's a really pretty place, but chest and enemy generation is so random that you're basically running around aimlessly as fast as you can looking for power ups instead of actually taking the scenery in. That isn't to say there's something bad about having something new to find every time, but maybe it should be more like the way KI:U handled it with the Intensity Gates, Zodiac Chambers, and random drops from fixed chest locations and not randomly spawning enemies swarming you everywhere and chests popping up in a random selection of the same 15 places.

And time limits. Time limits ruin everything.

She's the sort of witch that can star in her own SHMUP style mini game.

Smash 5
Ashley vs Bayonetta

Already got one.

Also, in the Japanese Palutena's Guidance for Smash 4, Palutena calls Rosalina "the witch of the Comet Observatory".

Also a witch/wizard is literally just anybody who uses magic or at least specialises in it. Peach, Zelda, Rosalina, Robin, Palutena, and even Corrin, all count as witches, not just Bayonetta.

 

[Luigi The President]

Bayonetta VS Ashley?

Bayonetta would win easily. But you know what I think she'd actually do? I think she'd become Ashley's new mom. Poor girl doesn't seem to have ANY family.

 

[Erureido]

So, thought I would share this as a fun change of pace. New article written by Nantendo, @TheAnvil, and myself. This is what our Konami Fighting game dream roster would look like. Coming soon to a Pachinko parlor near you!

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/02/06/dream-roster-konami/

As a huge Pop'n Music fan, the fact Nyami is on that roster already makes me really happy. Only thing I would consider is to have Mimi, the bunny girl, as an alternate costume for Nyami since the two are always seen together in promotional Pop'n material.

If a second Pop'n Music rep were to be considered (since it it a pretty huge and very popular franchise), I'd go with MZD since he's another main face of the series, but a little less than Nyami and Mimi. Much like Nyami/Mimi, his moveset would probably revolve around rhythm based moves in addition to magical powers (here's a link to his wiki page if you want to learn more about him).

 

[Coricus]

Does Town and City use the Day/Night cycle of your internal clock in Smash? I think it does now that I've looked at it a little harder, but I may as well confirm.

I know Smashville does, although I haven't really examined the extent ye-

. . .Aw shoot, I gotta concert to attend in an hour and a half, don't I? LOL

That's kind of dumb of them tbh, just makes them look unprofessional/cocky.

Anyway thinking back to the Pokemon XD talk the other day.

We Might Actually Be Getting A Sequel To XD.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...reak_and_creatures_inc_brings_pokemon_to_mind

I thought this originally was a trademark called shadow gate( maybe in Japanese?)

Anyway the title is something to take note of. I think it could be a Shadow Game, as what would the name Phantom Gate mean instead? It doesn't seem to fit any spinoff idea( though who knows.)

Considering Detective Pikachu was also trademarked the same time as this, I think we could see this very soon.

So what do you think of this?
Do You think it will show up this year?
What type of game is it?

Also Side Note, why isn't Swamp in the title?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Bayonetta VS Ashley?

Bayonetta would win easily. But you know what I think she'd actually do? I think she'd become Ashley's new mom. Poor girl doesn't seem to have ANY family.

"If you need to know how to talk to a lady. . ask your mum. . ."

"Oh wait guess that's my job"

 

[Burruni]

Manipulate the size of things.
Maniacal potions.
Forcing shape shifting on others.
And having Red himelf who is a shapeshifting demon.
For starters.

She's the sort of witch that can star in her own SHMUP style mini game.

Welp.
I now have a demand for Ashley's final Smash.

We really did try to have a balanced roster that represented the best of Konami.

Konami has so many wonderful IPs that are just going to waste. We couldn't even include all we wanted in our final list!

 

[Khoru]

for whatever reason ashley's never really appealed to me at all
i wouldn't object if she were in smash but she just strikes me as kinda..... bland, idk
i'd like to see a proper magic-user and all but her skillset's eh to me

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I was very confused with Advance Wars at first because I thought 'Wait, why aren't I played as the characters advertised in the opening?' but after about an hour, it's not as good as FE so far, but charming nonetheless

 

[Coricus]

I think Day/Night cycles are neat, but you know what I'd like to see? A really good Pokémon stage with one. At the very least the Wii U lacks a Pokémon stage with a Day/Night cycle. Pokémon is even bigger than AC, and it's the only other Major Nintendo IP to rely on real time heavily in their games.

I'd want them to choose the location wisely, though, because speaking as someone who's played every region in the past 3 generations (I.E. technically all of them), not that many routes are all that interesting. Cities fare a little better, but there's still quite a long list of duds in there.

 

[wedl!!]

That Konami roster reminds me of how nostalgic I am for the Power Pros series.

I seriously wish it was still around. It was my jam in 3rd-5th grade.

So ALL the currently available amiibo will work with Pokken. Supposedly to unlock certain items.

At this point I've actually given up on P-Jiggles in it.

 

[ChikoLad]

OK so time for confession time from me.

While I can safely say I never HATED Corrin (a lot of people misinterpreted my impressions on him when I was talking about him before), I always did find him an eyebrow raiser, at least from the perspective of being one of the final additions to the game in that final broadcast. And although I always thought he looked fun, I didn't see him making a lasting impression on me.

But it turns out Sakurai's plan is working and I am really getting fond of him just from Smash. His moveset fits like a glove to me and I really want to make him one of my best characters. I enjoy the quotes from the characters and stuff, and I do have an affinity for dragon characters, having grown up with Spyro. And he has a kickass theme song I found addicting even in his trailer. Maybe he will turn out bland in his actual game, but I am really enjoying him in Smash, he's a really cool addition.

I guess you could say.... "That went well!"

Who knows, maybe I'll end up picking up Fates as my first FE game.

Similarly, Codename STEAM has been helping me grow more attached to . Especially Robin.

That's the problem though, pokemon has day and night, ut it doesn't really leave an impression on the player. It's just there. There are no real ways to convey it unless GF made a place with a big gimmick on Day and Night.

Like for example, in one of the fan games I've played(Super Pokemon Eevee), they have an area where it's a forest that changes completely depending on whether or not it's day or night.

A place like this in pokemon would be really unique and a nice way to truly take advantage of Day and night, rather then, maybe one route has a different pokemon at night.

The system is changed to much between each gen.

If it was set to one dynamic then it would do much better as a feature.

I'm more hyped for Pokken than anything and any kind of functionality I'd like to know about.

 

[ChikoLad]

Lore doesn't even come into it, it's just the definition of the term.

Plenty of examples exist of it in media, where a witch/wizard is merely defined by their ability to cast magic. Harry Potter being a big one.

Witches were traditionally cast as evil villains for a while due to the old-fashioned beliefs associated with them but that doesn't necessarily mean those old fashioned beliefs were justified/correct so the definition of the term has changed to just mean a person who can cast magic, regardless of how they use it. The old definition of them being evil still exists but is not the absolute anymore.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I showed my friends the clips I wanted to send to alpharad. They said I should submit them all and that, including an onstage Spike to kill someone, making someone salty enough to forfeit and a damn hard read with a Usmash from Corrin. They said I make the most stylish kills out of us! I feel really proud now

By definition things seem more boring than they are. Rosaluma doesn't look like a Witch. So she isn't one in my book.
Is Lady Palutena a Witch too and not a Goddess?

I have no idea where to turn to get my Gamepad screen fixed. I have the parts but trying to do it is like defusing a live bomb. Any ideas?

Is Lady Palutena a Witch too and not a Goddess?

A witch isn't defined by aesthetic though (honestly by that logic Bayonetta looks much less like a witch out of all of the witches I've seen, at least Rosalina has a wand, which is stereotypical of witches).

And it's funny you make that comment about Palutena because in the Japanese version of Rosalina's Palutena's Guidance, after Palutena calls Rosalina a witch, Viridi says "Hey, if she's a witch, doesn't that make YOU a witch too?" (though please note these are rough translations from someone inexperienced. I can assure you the word "witch" keeps popping up in the conversation though, and that my statements are true, if not the exact translation. I have heard other people say Viridi also mentions Zelda as well as Palutena in the comparison, though I haven't noticed that myself).

There is no reason why one can't be a witch and god at the same time, since the former is defined by whether or not they can use supernatural powers, and the latter just speaks for the EXTENT of their powers and whether or not they rule and are worshipped as an authourity figure.

While I tend to just call Rosalina a "goddess or something more" myself on forums and such, if I was writing an article on her character or something, I would call her "a witch with god-like ability, experience, potential, and responsibilities". While she is the creator, watcher, and protector of multiple universes, and is powerful beyond belief as a result, she actually doesn't ever present herself as a moral authority at all, really only being concerned with whether or not there is a universe to live in and not defining certain things as moral/immoral and enforcing this with an iron fist. It seems she only interferes with the affairs of mortals when the fate of the entire universe is at stake. Her official bio on the amiibo website seems to back this up, by stating that "she guards the cosmos against any and all threats".

Apparently Marvel gave Sega the permision to use Spiderman in the game.

So yes, Joe Musashi indeed fought Spiderman.

As for the rest, they were eventually removed (including Spiderman after the license expired)
