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

Okay. Remember the Pokemon question from yesterday?



Favorite Fire Emblem character in Smash?

Favorite Fire Emblem character?

Favorite Fire Emblem character to play as?

1. We

3. Ike!

 

[Coricus]

You know what I'd like to see when it comes to ATs?

A Master Ball- Type Assist Trophy that only summons video game bosses.

Like, right now aside from rival/(ish) characters we have, like, eight.

Pokeballs have slightly more possibilities than Assists in general, but the number of Legendaries in particular is more than double that.

Oh, and Nightmare kind of sucks on all levels, so we may as well count it as having seven right now.

For starters, let's pull Nightmare and put Magolor in there instead. Then we could just start throwing in a bunch of honking huge bosses to be equal to or more awesome than the size balance the Legendaries currently have, because once you ditch the guy that was already not that much bigger than the player in canon for a guy that is basically the same size as the player until he basically mutates himself to be. . .not that much bigger than the player, you basically just have Mother Brain and Andross and everyone else is the exact size of the player. <sarcasm>Yipee, how thrilling.</sarcasm> All things considered, the Legendaries have a better proportion of large Pokémon than that even excluding the stuff that's smaller but still noticeably bigger than the player, and considering Game Freak has an intense fear of making Pokeomn taller than 7m and usually tends to stick to 5m or below even with Legendaries, that kind of says a lot for how underwhelming the Assist Trophy selection is.

 

[Inawordyes]

Favorite FE character in Smash: Ike
Favorite FE character: Nephenee! Haha Brawl mods made me realize how cool of a design she has (plus she's cool in PoR/RD)
Favorite FE character to play: Ike, he's my best character and I'm decent with him (though I'm barely a step above a filthy casual so that's not saying much haha). He's just got the right feel as a character for my playstyle.

 

[NintenZ]

I feel like at least one Pokeball should be promoted to playable status, I'd say either Zoroark or Gardevior.

1)
2) Quite a few, but Ranulf, Jill, Lyn, Cherche and Cormag immediately come to mind.
3) , followed by /. Haven't bought Corrin yet, so I can't speak for them.

Seriously, with it being the 20 anniversary this year and all these small nods towards him, I'm seriously expecting SOME form of an announcement this year for the franchise.

I just want another Crash game like the PS1 titles (Like pretty much everyone else). My pipe dream is that Sony picks up the ip from Activision and start a reboot, but I'm not sure how likely that is. At least some form of a collaboration between the two companies to get the series starting again is what I'm expecting.

 

[Wolfie557]

So I've always been annoyed with the FE fanbase for complaining all the time. Trying to justify the amount of representation in Smash, etc...

But ironically two of my favorite characters in Smash 4 are FE characters, Roy and Corrin.

I tried the Awakening Demo and was bored. But today I went and got it used at Gamestop and am going to play through all of it. I'd love to have a new series that I enjoy. Hopefully its not as boring as I thought.

oooo try Kid Icarus Uprising if you haven't already. It definitely won't be boring since it's quite fast paced. I can't find Awakening anywhere so I'll probably end up getting Fates.
I tried the Awakening demo and liked it but the game wasn't high priority enough for me to buy at the time.

Imagine what would happen if Sony was just doing this to poke Activison and didn't actually know if they were making a game or not, but then Activison announces a new Crash game

And it's Nintendo-exclusive.

Imagine the gamingverse on that day.

 

[ChikoLad]

I actually tried the Awakening demo too and I may even still have it but I just don't remember much of anything about it.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

It's interesting what Smash can do sometimes. I don't think Ike would be my favorite FE character had he never gotten in.

I definitely might. I never did pick it up but have heard good things.

Crash died with old naughty dog.

KIU is my favorite game of all time.

If you can get used to the controls and you like the dialogue it will be a blast.

If not sucks to be you

 

[NintenZ]

Crash died with old naughty dog.

Unfortunate to say... But you're right...

Crash holds a special place in my heart for being the first videogame franchise that I ever owned. (Crash 3 was my first videogame)

 

[epicmartin7]

So... Kimishima is saying that there are several large-scale unannounced 3DS titles still in development.

[ChikoLad]

So I've been looking into Sonic stuff again and I noticed something:

These are some prototype figures shown off at a recent toy fair, but what's interesting is that the Boom!Sonic figure has a different 25th Anniversary logo to the Classic Sonic figures, being the more generic Sonic head silhouette logo that's used on a lot of things (it's even Sonic's franchise logo in Smash!). I guess this means the 25th Anniversary game may not be solely to do with Classic Sonic.

Also notice the pixel motif on the box. We first saw this motif in this image:

But it's been popping up on a lot of the merchandise and imagery they have shown so far.

Spoiler

At this point, it all seems far too recurring to be a coincidence. Considering a lot of 20th Anniversary merch used iconography from Generations, like the "white space", I definitely think this ties into the game somehow.

There was actually a 4chan leak detailing a project code-named "Digital Sonic '25", and mentioned that it's basically Sonic going through other SEGA worlds, via a digital environment that Eggman traps him in. Sounds far fetched at first, but this is the same leak that detailed to a tee what Sonic Runners was before it was revealed, and also detailed many things about Rise of Lyric to a tee. Combined with how that ties in so well with the pixel imagery we are seeing a lot in the 25th Anniverary merchandise, and I think it's safe to say that this leak must have been legitimate. While it's possible the game could have changed since then, I do think the "digital world" element will be a factor.

I dunno, I just wanted to speculate some Sanic.

 

[Opossum]

Oh, Crash. Outside of Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity, none of the other games were nearly as good as the originals. Come home, Crash...

While I would love a new Crash, I want a new game more so so that he can become playable in Smash bros next time.

Not to surprising, but good to hear. The wii u part makes me think, they are dialing down on WIi U titles. As for the unannounced games. I predict:

Pokemon Z
Pokemon Phantom Gate( Probably a Wii U title if it exists.)
Metroid( Both spinoffs and a new metroid)
Zelda
Mario game
New DK game
Some surprise new title.

Good news, then.

The 3DS should still keep going for a while, to be honest. Especially since the New 3DS isn't quite old yet and the console overall has a large install base and still selling well.

Also, I noticed something interesting about the Wii U Smash CSS:

Spoiler: Wii U CSS

Pac-Man simply got Shulk'd.

3DS CSS before DLC:

Spoiler: Shulk is in the last row, alongside the guest characters

3DS CSS after all the DLC:

Spoiler: Shulk is next to the clone characters

I see. It's like Pacman & Rayman is for me, tho they were not the first but one of the ones that stood out to me the most & loved them.
I can safely say I played Crash before them but I can barely remember anything so I've got almost no connection. My gaming started since I was 3, or so my mother says.

Personally hoping that it's not something I would NEED to have but there is no possible way because it would be another New 3DS exclusive. So...yh.

.........and potentially R.I.P plan of Fates/Awakening & MM 3D being my last games for the console.

@Nukellavee took this amazing picture.

Nice to see you had a party without me.

JK.

They trademarked it as a game. I brought it up yesterday. It was filed under creatures inc, Gamefreak, and Nintendo, which to my knowledge, none are directly involved in it.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Civil War hype!No spiderman though

 

[_Sheik]

I definitely might. I never did pick it up but have heard good things.

I picked it up. I regret spending 30 bucks on it.

 

[Deleted member]

Speaking of the Awakening demo
I wonder if Fates will get one
Chapters 2 and 3 seem good enough for a demo(1 is literally just a tutorial with Marx/Xander)

I feel like at least one Pokeball should be promoted to playable status, I'd say either Zoroark or Gardevior.

Either of them would be a win-win scenario for me

 

[ChikoLad]

lol, looking at Corrin's victory quotes next to the other FE characters is quite funny:


"Today I have survived."
"This time it's my victory, isn't it?"
"There's no way I can lose!"


"It was a difficult fight."
"The true fight is after this."
"For those whom I must protect, I will not lose!".


"You'll get no sympathy from me."
"I fight for my friends."


"I'm always three steps ahead."
"The key to victory lies within."
"Lucina, I hope I didn't hurt you."
"It seems our fates are joined."


"A good tactician has nothing to fear."
"Ha! Checkmate."
"I've got your back."
"How can you protect Chrom if you can't protect yourself?"


"Father… I won."
"And they call you the Radiant Hero?"
"The future is not written!"
"You'll never defeat me!"
"This is the Hero-King?"


"That went well!"
"I win!"
"*dragon roar*"


"That went great."
"Good!"
"*dragon roar*"

I guess maybe they didn't want to risk spoiling their character much or something. :V

 

[Wolfie557]

Apparently, this art is called 'Kid Icarmon'

And did someone say.....back scratch?

Well, good thing your in the minority.

I feel bad for poor Rhodey in Civil War. it looks like he just became an Avenger to defect and die in the next one. Welp.

Huh

Would've liked if they had special quotes against the rest of the FE cast.

 

[ChikoLad]

Spoiler

They probably could have at least fit in a reference to Grima with the Robins. Like "I smell dragon blood in your veins, too..." or something like that.

Granted, I'm saying this, having not even played Awakening myself, so I could have the context of this wrong. Codename STEAM spoiled this for me, though.

 

[Burruni]

So.
New RWBY and I'm sitting here waiting impatiently for it to be uploaded somewhere I can see.
