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

[Kirby Dragons]

My geometry teacher had everybody guess which team would win the Super Bowl. She's giving two points of extra credit to everyone who guessed correctly.

 

[Schnee117]

I love how Rooster Teeth had to put that disclaimer in the description of the video itself this time.
Because holy crap, this episode man.

Spoiler

Port's status should be:
"Trying to capture a Griffon to put in a hole and name it Edgar"

I don't mind non-FD stages but it would be nice to just remove the absolute worst stages from the line-up if we are playing without items. Stuff like Wrecking Crew and 75m just have no flow to them, and like I said before, ladder climbing is mapped to the C-Stick and that can't be turned off, so those stages are annoying for people like me who use the C-Stick a lot for aerials.

If we play with items on though, I don't really care about the stages, since it's just pure madness. I'd just like to feel at least a little in control when playing without them.

At the end of the day I don't take these things too seriously, especially when 4-players are involved, since the dynamic is different from 1v1.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I play for fun



Oh god, I thought I turned that stage off. Sorry!


Yeah we can do FD stages only next time!

I'll also do a better job of reminding people.

It's a tournament not a tea party

New RWBY episode? **** I can't watch it now
And won't be able to for probably two weeks starting tomorrow
Because Xenoblade X

Also, speaking of ATs, you know what else we should have ala Pokeballs?
Rescue staffs
Because we still only have Lyn as an AT
And you can never have too much Fire Emblem

 

[Khoru]

oh my god, i forgot about nicalis saying the vita's almost as strong as the wii u
nicalis is my favorite gaming joke

A Healer like Lissa would've been neat actually (Rescue staffs not so much though)...I still think we should've gotten the Risen in Smash Run (or Smash on the wii U in general)

So Kamiya wants Amaterasu, Viewtiful Joe, Dante, and Wonder Red in Smash? Good thing he agrees like the rest of his fans.

Good



Imagine a world where we really had super smash bros featuring Dante from the devil may cry series

& knuckles

I don't think the internet could handle the dank

Joe would make a better assist trophy from his SFX gimmick

 

[Khoru]

Who was hat again?

they've developed all the cave story releases past the original freeware one, nightsky, and the binding of isaac rebirth
they have something of a... reputation

the episode i can immediately think of that's the most telling is that their head said that all japanese indie games except for cave story are awful, while the company was publishing la-mulana, a japanese indie game
(and then they dropped it and blamed it on the developers)

Give me Dante or give me death! It better be the classic one and not that edgy, smoking faker from the reboot.

Also, Amaterasu plz

I was talking about Rescue staffs working like Pokeballs
As in, giving FE its own section for AT
That would allow them to represent more classes and FE games
Like having an Assassin pop up and use Silencer, a Dancer increasing stats, a Mercenary doing some sick spins, a Swordmaster forgetting how to do normal attacks, etc etc

 

[Chrono.]

That's terrifying.

 

[Frostwraith]

And I've seen some people complaining about Bayonetta in Smash because "she's too sexual", "not toned down enough", "inappropriate for children", "Smash is a family-friendly game and this kind of character shouldn't be in the game", "kids would get curious about a game that's M-rated"...

You know, the ages old "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" stuff, despite:
- Palutena's side taunt and fanservice in her trailer
- Zero Suit Samus (especially the alternate costumes from the GBA Metroids' endings)
- Shulk having a swimsuit costume
- Snake in Brawl, who's also from a mature series with a lot more mature themes than Bayonetta and just as inappropriate for children as Bayonetta

I mean, sure Bayo retains a lot of her provocative and snarky personality, having some suggestive poses and one-liners as well, but:
- she doesn't go full naked when using the Wicked Weaves or summoning Gomorrah (in fact, she shows less skin than ZSS and Shulk in their alternate costumes, ironically enough)
- she doesn't have the torture attacks
- her moves don't cause blood or gore, unlike the original games
- the bullets have been made to look more like energy/magic projectiles, so the guns will seem less realistic and more magical (Bayo is a witch, after all, so it makes sense thematically)
- toned down language (after all, the trailer changed her "don't **** with a witch" line to "don't mess with a witch")

Sure, Bayo's lines border on sexual innuendo, but so did some of Snake's codecs ("Samus took her clothes off!", anyone?) and a lot of things in Nintendo games (KIU's dialogue has more than a few of such jokes, for example).

tl;dr - If Bayo in Smash isn't okay for kids, so aren't a lot of the things already in the game either.

To be fair, a lot of the things you say are already in the game, were complained about by the same kind of people.

 

[MasterofMonster]

I should probably start getting more collectables...as big of a fan of Metroid as I am, the only offical 'Metroid' product I have (besides the games obviously) is the ZSS amiibo (can't even find Samus ;_; )...
As a Zelda fan the only thing I really have is a ripped Lanyard :/ (and amiibo's obviously)

I would for sure throw my money at an Official Metroid Prime Trilogy artbook, but I know that's never going to happen...

I hope you can find the Samus Amiibo, Only Human. It is one of the nicer Amiib, I'd say. I like her pose.
I have the Samus World of Nintendo Figure, with Morph Ball, the First4Figures Zero Suit Samus statue, and the Light Suit, 20 inch statue, also from F4F. Oh, and the World of Nintendo Metroid. And I have the ZSS PVC figurine coming this June, and I am trying to find a Samus Figma. And I WILL get the upcoming Samus (Prime 3) and ZSS Figmas. XD

I mis Metroid so much. I need to expand my (dong) Metroid collection. I wish you all the luck to get more stuff yourself!

Good, because no one should forget about Snake's best asset.

But if you really want speechless, look at this scene from Guns of the Patriots.

Even though I know what the meaning of this scene is, this is how I feel on the damn reptilian brotherhood.

There are good memes, then there's the bad ones like this annoyance. Poor Leafalike can't catch a break with his legion of whack job fans.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

@PushDustIn U have a question. How different is Bayonetta's dialogue in her reveal trailer in the Japanese version?

 

[NintenZ]

This line is hilarious but also has the most tragic context.

I don't think they have any poor quality... What makes you think so?

Well, I do play on the 3DS with headphones, which do give better quality sound than the 3DS speakers.

Whenever I play, I hear the sounds with no problem. Same quality as the Wii U version overall.

I was tempted to mention characters from the other games, but they aren't a part of this question.

You totally can though.
