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

Looks like Splatoon doesn't agree that PKMN Red is better

[AwesomeAussie27]

I'm the only one that think Metroid federation force is overhated? All the complains seem to be about it is the design or their no Samus. The gameplay looks alright to me, so I don't get the hate, at least it's not a remake.

That same can easily be said for Genei Ibun Roku #FE as well. All the controversy about it being weaboo garbage along with the misleading advertisements could explain its poor sales in Japan currently. I don't see the situation being any different when it finally hits the West this year (Kimishima stated that this is one of the few big titles to be released in 2016 for the West along with Zelda U and more).

Well red is more popular, it's just reds lost the most.

I can safely say I only lost 1 or 2 games to the Blue team and won like 4-6 so I did Red justice.

OMG

A shooter walked into the nursing home my grandfather is in and started shooting up nurses

He then escaped but was gunned down by the cops

Needless to say, my grandfather is horrified

Edit: Apparently only 1 nurse was shot, and it was "Domestic violence"

http://www.king5.com/story/homepage/2016/02/20/homicide-suspect-shot-killed-5-lakewood/80660340/

It was his girlfriend, he fatally shot her (The guys, not my grandfather's)

My condolences. At least he's unharmed.

I can only guess it was a personal reason behind the man killing the nurse.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My condolences. At least he's unharmed.

I can only guess it was a personal reason behind the man killing the nurse.

The main problem seems to be how much trouble we had to get him in the nursing home. He has issues with nursing homes because of his parents.

Now this happens in the one he's in...

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly I had my entire left "bridge" with the breakable wall guarded by Nyx with the turret and Odin flinging flames over the wall.
Silas guarded the right bridge from archers with Jakob dashing in for periodic heals.
Effie guarded the one "hole" in the defenses on the front because she's Effie.
Then Azura/Kamui kept the influx on the left died down, Arthur/Severa on the right, and then Beruka and Camilla just kinda roamed where needed.

I stayed with the same basic strategy everytime but in the one I was successful, I had Effie guarding the breakable wall on the left, Nyx on the Magic Orb, Silas and Jakob taking care of the archers on the right, Niles in the southern ballista, Arthur, Odin, Selena and Corrin on the left south entrance, Azura dancing for Niles to get some hits on the weakened Onis, Elise healing wherever she's necessary and Camilla and Beruka taking care of the Pegasus and Onis from the right
Paired up Beruka with Camilla and she didn't even receive damage from them aside from a Cherry Tapping Oni Savage
This is why Camilla is great

Oh I managed to get Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest earlier today. I'm liking it!

Just got to Chapter Five!

Good luck, you'll need it
Because Conquest is hard
The first 3 chapters after the choice are standard stuff but as we've been saying, Chapter 10 will kick your ass
It's the Chapter that will show you how hard Nohr will be so be prepared

[Geno Boost]

So the flame wars disscussion about Geno that happened in some pages in the past are never coming back huh?

 

[---]

I don't see why you'd say this at all.

You really didn't need to create such a large write up for something so theoretical...

Basically in the conservative mindset, at least in terms of Mario characters, the Smash 4 Newcomers/Doc are much much lower on the totem pole in terms of being musts for any roster. Mario > Luigi > Peach/Bowser/Yoshi/Wario > Toad (lol) > Jr./Koopalings > Rosalina >>> Waluigi/Daisy >>>> Geno

When you hang out with speculation nerds for 2 years+ without any info, it tends to suck the liberalness out of you. If Smash 5 were to reboot things/shrink the roster like many are theoretically predicting, I doubt they would survive the cutting process, not that they're the most likely to be cut IMO. Personally I think around half of the roster could be cut and it'd still be an amazing cast, which is also one of the many reasons why Smash is as great as it is (3rd Parties are the icing on this double layer cake).

Bottom of the barrel is very much a mindset going around, and it's one of the reasons Smash 4's final roster was as surprising as it was. It's probably not healthy, but neither is speculation as a whole.

 

[Wolfie557]

I can't believe people are freaking out so much over this news. Sakurai confirms something OBVIOUS and everything explodes. Typical Smashboards. But i admit it is amusing to watch. Chances are Sakurai & his team considered over 50 characters imo, 21 got in, others as AT's and Costumes ect.

As for other thoughts, Fan Rules are absolute Bull and there is no such thing as Shoe-ins from my experience. Just likely/unlikely ect based on subjective thoughts on the current info. I had the following as shoeins before I stopped using the term for DLC's:

• Palutena, Mii's, Rosalina, Pacman, Mewtwo, Dixie, Wolf, & Little Mac shoe-ins for the base game.
• Ridley, K Rool, Shulk, Dark Pit (trailer tease) and Impa as pretty likely iirc.

I didn't get everything right. But I did manage to predict the following:
- I predicted she will join and be revealed in the December 2013 direct if there is one. It was a hunch for the timing so I'll take that as pure luck however soon enough her appearance in Mario 3D World confirmed to me she will be coming.To me, she was ahead of all the other Mario newcomers for ONE reason: Moveset. I imagined it to be graceful to reflect the character and have some sort of Luma attacks. Waluigi/Daisy would be gimicky and based on Spinoffs. You can't have one without upsetting the fans of the other. Bowser Jr's paintbrush ideas was MEH (glad Sakurai found a better way) and Paper Mario was just another Mario albeit unique, but that alone made him seem unlikely in my eyes. Rosalina's moveset seemed the most fluid and realizable. Plus, popularity outside Smash fans counts, believe it or not.

- I didn't want him in. I didn't see the appeal. Heck, I still hate fighting against or using him. But it was obvious since of mega-fan demand (especially competitive side) and a Direct happened to be on Punchout's Anniversary.

- I thought they would be in. It was fairly obvious there would be at least 1 Uprising character and Palutena was the best choice by far. I also supported Medusa but she took priority. Pacman? Game developed by Namco Bandai and Sonic & Megaman were already in. Nuff said. Mii's were inevitable imo as Smash always had

Since they haven't been revealed yet and E3 was round the corner, I predicted when and in what order those 3 would be shown; mii's to start it off, a popular character in the middle and a 3rd party to end it off in a bang. If Ridley was somehow in then it would be him instead of Palutena however I doubted that and didn't want to take my chances.
- Joined the list after Gematsu leak and did intensive research. Popularity? check. Huge Moveset Potential? check. Recent/Relevant? Check - improves chances greatly. It was always a fight between Shulk, Isaac & Takamaru. I could only ever see 1 of them joining and Shulk was the best choice for many.

- Got in eventually so I guess it sorta counts.

.....People really need to spread their wings and don't ever only look at one echo-chamber. Doesn't mean increasing time spent on speculation, just spread it around.I was focusing on IGN/Youtube/Smashboards/eventually VGChartz.

I can confirm that IGN Nintendo Forums despite their low numbers of Smash speculators (where I started), believe it or not, have been the most accurate for base game.

- I thought it's a dream character. Thought she had to be toned down more than what she has (thanks, Smashboards detractors) but I wasn't as surprised she won as the majority on Smashboards. She had a ton of votes at the start of the ballot. Everywhere on youtube if you look hard enough , some ign article comments and over 150 from a reliable VGC poll. It usually puzzled me why she's not as popular on Smashboards.....the detractors seem to have done a good job over the years. Lol.

Geno was actually considered for Smash?

That's....not really surprising to me in hindsight. I always thought of the possiblity that any character that was a Mii costume or AT that looks like a playable character may have been considered for a playable position, it's just that Sakurai hasn't spoken about those characters yet.

Also beign considered for playable but rejected in Smash game =/= Beign a likely choice for the next game, remember Dixie guys?

But those are just my 2 cents.

The best post of the last couple of pages in my opinion. It's all just fairly obvious..

 

[FalKoopa]

I think Smash Bros might go with a SFV route from the next game onwards, except with more on the base roster and ...a less problematic launch.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

If they just stick to making one game instead of 2 that is going to save them a lot of time. Time that they could use to expand the roster.

 

[TheAnvil]

Smash is in a tough situation. They're basically screwed if they go any other route but to build on top of the Wii U version of Smash. We're at the point now where graphically, you can only make minor improvements, and the core mechanics of the game are spot on. By far the best in the series.

If they cut 20 or so characters just to have 23 newcomers then they're going to create a huge divide, as in, probably half the fanbase would rather stick with the Wii U version.

The only other thing they can do is put more emphasis on 3rd Parties (50:50) and stylise the game as it being Nintendo vs. xxx. But even that would probably give us a divide. There are plenty of people who want to stick with Nintendo characters.

In my opinion, Smash Wii U should be a platform. Look at Disney Infinity. There are what, 100 characters in that game now (and counting). Whether I like some of the additions or not, there's no sense cutting them if you don't need to. That's the only way not to create a divide. Smash NX should be an enhanced port with extra trimmings ala UMvC3.

How are any of the current Mario characters "bottom of the barrel"?

Dr. Mario stars in one of the most popular puzzle games on Nintendo systems...And you know, he's still Mario. Even if he wasn't included as a separate slot, an alt if Mario is still likely given the increased scope of alts in this installment.

Rosalina is now a recurring part of the main Mario cast, and is the only character outside of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad to be playable in an original main series title. She also starred in one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time (and is a large part of why the game is so beloved), and it's also the best selling 3D Mario platformer. And she was created by the current producer of the Mario franchise, and the team at EAD have been vocal about how they even love her. That's only scratching the surface, she's got way too much going for her to be grouped as bottom of the barrel (and clearly isn't to Sakurai since she was such a high priority addition). She isn't as old as the classic characters but she is being billed on their level, if not more so at times (notice Rosalina is where you would expect to see Mario):

Bowser. Jr is the most likely here to be cut (I don't know why Jr is higher priority on your list - he completely missed MK8. Rosalina is in the game twice, is one of the most used racers, and is prominently featured in promotional material for the game. He also doesn't receive prominent roles in most other games lately), but he's still a recurring villain of the franchise and isn't bottom of the barrel at all.

The only scenario I could see these characters being definitely cut is if they for some reason decided to regress to a "one character per franchise, use the consistent playable protagonist" rule, but I don't think that will happen given Sakurai's recent interviews, and him showing how he's well aware excitement is a large factor in what drives Smash. Cutting rising (in how iconic they are), beloved stars like Rosalina would be the anti-thesis of this.

 

[Wolfie557]

That's only scratching the service.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

-
I agree with Rosalina & Bowser jr. They should stay, but Dr.Mario IS bottom of the barrel imo. I don't care what he is or what he's from. He's one of the biggest clones.

It's better to cut him and add another, more interesting clone instead even. That's for when the developers really do feel they can't add more characters without cutting some. I personally think that point will be reached in Smash6 not 5 but whatever.

 

[Deleted member]

You must be out of your mind to think any of the Mario characters will be cut

Smash Wii U should be a platform

But that would take what makes the game unique
Disney Infinity may have a bunch of characters but what's the point if most of them are the same?

 

[Curious Villager]

I'm not sure I support cutting a character just for the sake of cutting them. Cutting a clone won't gain the developers any more time other than including a different clone. I also don't really see Sakurai removing either Rosalina or Bowser jr since their pretty recognisable and popular characters in their own right at this point (Especially with the Koopalings for Bowser jr).

 

[ChikoLad]

Rosalina isn't as iconic as the Classic Mario characters (only by virtue of not being around as long, but she will surely match them in years to come). But she is probably the most beloved character since people don't simply "know" her, people get very attached to the character (for better or for worse) because she's never really been a one-note, cookie cutter character with her personality being one trait. People know Mario and the others because their face is plastered onto everything. People know Rosalina because they fell in love the character due to her tangible, relatable backstory and developing character (they give her new traits even in spin-offs). And the character overall is very progressive with positive messages being associated with her. It's the same reason why Majora's Mask is one of the most beloved Zelda games - fitting, since Yoshiaki Koizumi created Rosalina as we know her todayans directed Super Mario Galaxy, and was a scenario writer for Majora's Mask.

I basically consider Rosalina to Mario what Shadow is to Sonic in terms of their franchise career. Except Rosalina is in much better standing these days, since she hasn't starred in any panned games. :V

 

[WeirdChillFever]

New Super Luigi U got its own release as a standalone game, so you forgot Nabbit.

And are we really going to use Mario Kart as a way to prove priority, because if so you forgot to say that Honey Queen is more important than Waluigi because of MK7 and that Peach is more important than Luigi for having a metal and cat form before he did.

 

[Wolfie557]

I think that ever since this gen, it's been Rosalina > Diasy in importance & popularity.

I don't see how NSLU means anything for Nabbit, that's still Luigi's game and a lot of people will just play it single-player as Luigi, given how difficult it is.

And yes, Mario Kart means something for priority. The developers have stated that they prioritise the most important and popular characters in the franchise, as well as interesting new characters that might appear for one game. That's why a lesser character like Waluigi would get cut. Bowser Jr too (though I think he will come back for the next game, and they will cut some of the Koopalings).

Also Peach is more important than Luigi. Luigi has missed a few main series games, Peach never has. As much as I hate to say it. Luigi also didn't get a proper Paper appearance in Paper Jam, Paper Luigi was just a cameo.

I think that ever since this gen, it's been Rosalina > Diasy in importance & popularity.

Daisy was never more popular or more important than Rosalina though.

I agree. But I think Doc is the only one in a possible danger. I think it depends on if they have the time.

Also ffs either give Yoshi a Mario icon or move him between Mario & DK not in the middle of Mario. Soooo annoooyyyyiiinnng. >.<
If all characters were in order of when they were first made it would be so messy. I don't see why Yoshi should be any different, if that makes sense.

Not yet. The translators are working on it, though.

It should be out today, if everything goes well.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

No no no no no. You do not just compare Rosalina to Shadow the Frickin Hedgehog

Why not. Both are incredibly popular characters, who both only got used more often due to their massive popularity, as Shadow was intended to stay dead and Rosalina had loads of competition in sports games, 3D World and Smash. If anything, they are very similar in terms of popularity. Not to mention Shadow gets mocked more and more these days

 

[Burruni]

So
Either chapters 12 and 13 are far harder than the norm
Or my conquest playthrough is going to a crawl from here on out.

 

[ChikoLad]

No no no no no. You do not just compare Rosalina to Shadow the Frickin Hedgehog

>Both were intended for one game, and brought back due to fan outcry
>Both have become one of the most beloved characters in their franchise and people want to see them in everything
>Both have the ability to sell games by simply being in them (Rosalina has also been sold as standalone, premium DLC)
>Both are noteworthy for being more immediately developed in their debut than any other character in their franchise was
>Both have a backstory involving the tragic loss of loved ones
>Both delude themselves in relation to their loved ones in some way
>Both are extremely powerful figures in their own franchises, have been stated to be unbeatable in some official material, and have titles that match this
>Both are portrayed as somewhat distant from the other members of the main cast
>Both are technically aliens born outside of world the other characters were born in
>Both are incapable of ageing (Shadow always was, Rosalina developed this trait somewhere down the line), and are much older than the other cast members (Shadow is over 50 years old in a series filled with teenage characters, Rosalina is so old that she has lived through multiple universes without being changed by her resetting of the universal cycles)
>Both have an association with motorcycles
>Both are considered like, the hottest character in their respective franchises :V

Those are just a few similarities.

If the Wii U version of Rio Olympics has special victory animations like Sochi did for doubles events, and Rosalina and Shadow don't have one, I will be very confused.

...Competition wasn't Rosalina's problem, at all.

Rosalina struggled to get back into the main series and become a mainstay of spin-offs because Miyamoto didn't like her at first, because he actually felt she had the potential to upstage Peach (and she has on a lot of occasions) and felt Princess Peach was the only needed main cast member in Mario:

Miyamoto: When Super Mario Galaxy first came out, I was a little hung up on why Rosalina was showing up when Princess Peach was already there. I thought it was fine as long as it was only Super Mario Galaxy, and we made her design so she's a little bigger.

I'm not defending her, I'm clearing up misinformation.

I don't need to defend a character that already has impenetrable defenses, both literally and figuratively. :V

People just seem to like when I discuss the character in this light, since the long essay I made in the past was well received here.

Same can be said about Shadow's brooding personality
Maria and Rosalina's mother
She makes the super guide stuff and made a black hole
Again, same can be said about Shadow, his own game was a spinoff, All Stars Racing was a spinoff, and 06 was retconned from existing
Dude, have you SEEN the furry fandom with Shadow? He's actually somewhat right

I'm so addicted to Smash (again) ever since Cloud arrived. I honestly feel I've been playing Bayonetta & Corrin for over 2 months now even tho it's only been a few weeks. They are in the top 15 most played characters on the U version atm.

Halp. I should be playing other stuff like WW or Splatoon or AC4 but nope. Smash is too tempting.

Also, I'm planning to leave Smashboards for a while as well. It's the only forum I have been active on recently since I've progressively been leaving others tho not permanently for Smashboards. Speculation should have been long over and I'm quickly getting bored of Smash5 talk. It's been tiring, to tell you the truth. Been a long time. It would help me to focus more on studies and such as well.

I think when I reach 2,500 posts it will be the perfect time to leave, but don't take my word for it. I've been addicted to forums in general for about 3 years now and at times it hasn't been healthy tbh. In Smashboards I've been the most active at the very beginning & the second half of the DLC period.
