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

Why does Palutena have a counter?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Why does Palutena have a counter?

She has 12 unique moves. Counter is just one of them. She's intended to have a ton of specials that gives her various playstyles.

 

[Shroob]

Why does Palutena have a counter?

Because all her moves are from Uprising's version of Smash Run powerups.

I think it's kinda dumb that Heavenly Light isn't Pauletna's default neutral B. It fits better than Auto-Reticle.

Eh I'm glad it isn't. Heavenly Light is an awful move anyways.
Her other specials are boring though.

Apparently a love interest is one of the characters needed for a story

Which, my stories usually don't have love interests

So, I looked up if a love interest was REALLY needed

And basically, the conclusion was: No, a love interest is not needed. But if you want the readers to relate to the character they need one.

In other words, if you don't have a love interest, your story probably isn't going to be popular was the general consensus.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

I quite like the Bayonetta 2 Design, mainly because it's probably the first time I sort of saw her back when they first teased Bayonetta 2.

I officially support the Arcade Bunny for the NXt Smash Sequel

Arcade Bunny confirmed a Blizzard fan.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So apparently Smash 4 has separate sound banks for each costume for each character.

So if you really wanted, you could have Roy's Melee voice on one of his alts and still have him retain his Smash 4 voice on his other costumes.

That is so cool

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I enjoy both Bayonetta designs myself.

I think my favorite re-color of her though is the blue version of her original Bayo 1 look.

Yeah I saw the video of that.

I think we can thank the Koopalings for that. Specifically, our boy .

I'm thinking of maybe utilising that with the Cosmic Spirit mod.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm not a fan of either of Bayonetta's design, but I like the first one better because I don't like short hair

Oh god, I want Fox and Falco's Brawl voices back honestly. haha

 

[Deleted member]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Day 8 : Favorite handheld console

Rather tough choice, but I go with the one I have the most fun with.

Day 9 : Favorite console of all time

Kinda redundant question here, as a result I'm going back to :

I can't wait until these mods are more accessible. Besides adding/ replacing music, giving back Fox and Falco their Brawl will be one of my top priorities.

I can make Marth sound like a girl. To fit his feminine features.

 

[PushDustIn]

The game files are much better organized this time around. I think Sakurai didn't want to reveal who was cut (forbidden seven), so he made the characters be organized by folders. It's very nice compared to Brawl. Unfortunately, he forgot the emblem data.
:kappa:

Also, DLC planning might have helped too. They made the system really easy to add extra content.

Just swap Marth and Lucina's voice's and we all good :^)

Nah, I need him to sound like someone feminine. Lucina's too manly.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I just watched a review of "Mr Peacbody and Sherman" where the reviewer asked

"With Mr. Peabody being the smartest being on the planet, why would ANYONE find the idea of him raising a child questionable. It makes no sense"

...

That's stupid. People IRL are against anyone even slightly different adopting and raising a child. If the child is a different race than the adopted parents people will find a problem with it. Let alone a different species.

 

[Radical Bones]

Eh I'm glad it isn't. Heavenly Light is an awful move anyways.

I dont get how a character with a full set of customs can have such a boring moveset no matter what.

 

[ChikoLad]

I have had this dream game idea for a while and the name of it was to be based on the name of the universe in the game.

But I looked it up and there is apparently a game that uses the name for it's own land within the game.

And it's a lewd fantasy card game.

...Welp, I guess I'll have to call my game something different when I get to it in the far future.

It takes practice to program it like that, but if anybody can do it, Sakurai can!

...Wait. Why am I implying it's a good thing?

 

[ChikoLad]

I was gonna call it "Etherea" (based on the word "ethereal", which basically means "something magically and serenely beautiful").

The game wasn't gonna be something adult themed or anything, neither is the word ethereal. It's just a weird coincidence that of all of the things to have taken the name, it had to be a hentai fantasy card game.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

One animated film I've wanted to watch, but never ended up watching was "Book of Life"

It has such an interesting style to it.

It's by an animated studio that... their previous movie was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE though. I'm not sure if that's why I didn't give it a look.

I'm going to watch it and see how well it hold up. Maybe write a review

 

[Swamp Sensei]

She's not boring with Lightweight and Super Speed.

She is a beast with those.

They just gave her the worst possible default moveset.

AA6's prosecutor for Phoenix's side of the story.

Nayuta Sadomadi is his name.

I have to say though, his outfit is a strange mix of Japanese and European.

Saw a couple of things on my Facebook feed that might interest some here.

First and most importantly (:V):

OFFICIAL SQUARE ENIX WAIFU WARS

Spoiler

I like Lightning as a character the most but Yuna might be the best as a legitimate partner as Lightning seems like a completely independent woman, and if she's into anything it's probably shota stuff with Hope (though I'm not even sure if it would count as shota anymore since he HAS been an adult...). Yuna, on the other hand, screams "girl next door". Plus her entire character is somewhat designed to be waifu bait, though it's well-rounded enough to where she doesn't come off as TOO pandering and has enough going for her in general to be an interesting character.

Haven't played FFVIII so I can't speak for Rinoa.

Yeah I put actual thought into this. It's more fun that way.

-----------

Also this will probably make some nerds go crazy.
http://mynintendonews.com/2016/02/09/christian-whitehead-says-sonic-can-be-as-great-as-any-high-quality-nintendo-platformer

Though, it's not like he's wrong at all. It's been done before.

-----------

And now, this year has once again been up to a horrible start.
http://comicbook.com/2016/02/08/big-hero-6-screenwriter-daniel-gerson-dies-at-49/

So many deaths this year.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well

Honestly

Rinoa ...for whatever it's worth

Probably had the best love story of those 3 characters

Part of that is Yuna's love interest was TIDUS. You can't make that realistic or interesting

 

[Chrono.]

Nayuta Sadomadi is his name.

*her

Turns out she's a lady.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Y'know. I'm so used to in Japanese anime style someone that looks like a girl is actually a guy

TBH this looks much more masculine than some of the guys

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm reading this Polygon interview and ugh.

I'm fine with the interview parts but whenever Polygon chimes in it's so annoying.

It still annoys me that people act like Sonic and "the Werehog" are different characters.

They aren't. They are the same person. Sonic's personality is the same in his Werehog form, this is a plot point that's directly addressed in the game. Unleashed didn't pull any spotlight away from him and from a story perspective, the Werehog was actually really well done as it opened up some interesting scenarios that shed new light on or developed Sonic as a character. He was very much the star of the game.

 

[Strofirko]

I still have to remember to be hyped for overwatch,somehow...

So, here's a video comparing Corrin's counter with other counter moves (specifically, Ike, Roy, Little Mac and Shulk's).

All counters KO at similar %s, but Corrin's counter launching foes upward definitely gives him an advantage, especially in stages with platforms closer to the upper blast line.

Kinda reminds me why they buffed Dark Pit's Electroshock Arm. Before that buff, Pit's Upperdash Arm was generally better at KOs because of the upwards knockback.

If there are more patches, they either should nerf Corrin's counter or buff all the other counters in the game.

 

[ChikoLad]

One quote in this interview, from Iizuka, that sticks out to me:

"Because [Rise of Lyric] tried a different take on Sonic from the norm — and considering the results — this made Sonic Team feel that we want to build a Sonic title which represents the evolution of the Sonic series over the last 20 years," Iizuka says on what future Sonic games may look like. He continues, saying that "modern Sonic won’t be changing his design in games anytime soon." Iizuka wants the character to remain the same five, even 10, years from now.

So basically, the "Modern Sonic" design is going to stay as the main Sonic that represents the brand, and Boom Sonic isn't going to replace him.

That's good. I like Boom Sonic's design just fine but I don't want Boom to replace the main series as...well, the main series.

Plus the Modern and Classic designs are just more versatile due to their simplicity compared to Boom Sonic.

 

[FalKoopa]

*her

Turns out she's a lady.

She's the most masculine woman I've seen in any game then, except Danganronpa.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Going through a trip down memory lane. Remember that Paultena photo leak?

As far as I'm aware I was the first ever person to point out that one of her jewels resembled a power star.

I felt so bad when I found out it wasn't meant to resemble one.

 

[epicmartin7]

So... Bayonetta is apparently one of the worst characters in Smash 4.
