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

[A Distant Demon]

the fight over damn ships throughout the entire series (even One Piece fans don't go that far)

Of course One Piece fans don't fight over ships.


The Going Merry is too pure to fight over ;_;

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Coming from someone that follows the Big 3, I can easily say the Naruto fandom is easily the most toxic one of the bunch. They bash anyone that actually give criticism to the series, the fight over damn ships throughout the entire series (even Bleach and One Piece fans don't go that far), they think Naruto can fight Goku despite how weak he is, almost every Naruto video/forum involves a flame war, and they act high and mighty towards other members of the Big 3 or Dragon Ball Z.

First of all, a video I watched recently said something like that, he liked Greninja as he liked Naruto and other ninjas as a kid. "Two things I learned: 1! Don't watch Naruto"
Second, that's bull**** about a petition as that's not how they work.
Third, what if people didn't know that and you just spoiled the ending?

 

[Deleted member]

You guys and your Narutos and One Pieces.

#JoJoMasterRace.

Speaking of animoo, I gave Plastic Neesan a go recently, truly, one of the most wtf worthy anime I've seen. And I loved all 27 minutes of the whole anime

My bad, I should have respected that some people haven't caught up with ending yet. A proper spoiler has been added.

You're right, petitions rarely work and what they did resulted in failure. It's that they would go this far with salt pouring out of their faces just because the ending didn't go their way. Though the fans that didn't like shipping simply hated it because there were too many loose ends with Orochimaru or the make up was too rushed.

 

[epicmartin7]

It's a summary which comes out almost a week later than our full translation. However, since they make a lot of mistakes so I do think they translated it on their own.

For example, they combined the interviewer's comment about the Rathalos' comment and Sakurai's comment. Also, Lloyd's comments are not translated correctly either. You can compare theirs' with ours.

I'm not sure why but this further convinces me that Nintendo Everything is trying to compete directly with SG, and has some sort of beef with us.

Well, at least people are starting to back you up now. On Nintendo Life, they wrote this in their article...

...without any mention of Source Gaming.

People then started to post this in the comments...

...which shows that your statement did make a lot of people aware on what was happening.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

The salt, it hurts.

Now how much you blokes bet it's almost as much as the Superman vs Goku controversy.

And now you know why I don't watch Naruto. It overstays it's welcome and the ending doesn't even fix loose ends. This is why I'll never be arsed to watch One Piece as there are over 700 ****ing episodes. You're next line is "But you like Jojo, and that's having it's 30th anniversary this year!" To which I say there's a difference. Jojo's divided in parts, different stories with different characters who have different personalities. It changes things up so it doesn't drag on too long

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I wish Morrigan Aensland was Bayo's opponent instead. Stomp matches are pointless IMO, yet Morrigan is somewhat close in power to the witch. I also really like Morrigan as a character and want her to get in.

 

[_Sheik]

Man it's tough being a Krystal fan these days.

Why don't the Fox x Wolf shippers leave her alone for once or Miyamoto realize she exists for that matter?

Krystal has never partaken in Lylat Wars. Nuff said.

Both CFC and DB are pretty bad. General interesting fights, put both manage to screw up big time, one way or another.

CFC?

 

[ChikoLad]

How often is it referenced? From the top of my head, the game which celebrated Sonic's history...That's it. They were failures in the eyes of many. Sure, I enjoyed Heroes, Chronicles, Black Knight and Unleashed, but most people didn't

The Mario & Sonic games. Heck, they even referenced Chronicles.

Sonic Runners references so much too.

Many of the characters stick around to some capacity.

And of course there is the Archie Comics.

Also I wouldn't group Heroes and Unleashed into there. They are not really part of the dark age. They come right before/after it.

CFC?

Cartoon Fight Club.

It's a silly Death Battle clone.

 

[Haze.]

Y'all need to calm down with the Tama hate. Every time someone brings him up he gets laughed away.

It's why the dude left.


We know he has inside info so he can still be reliable.
Plenty of other leakers we have on pedestals have gotten things wrong too (one is even staff here). Are we going to start laughting at them now too?

You're asking forum users to be reasonable? lol

All petitions like this are stupid.

The terrible grammar and unnecessary swearing (Yes I know this means im the pot calling the kettle black) make this even worse.

And what makes this EVEN WORSE is the fact that Hinata was the best option sand everyone with half a brain knows it.

To which I say there's a difference. Jojo's divided in parts, different stories with different characters who have different personalities. It changes things up so it doesn't drag on too long

JoJo's way of doing things is pretty refreshing, having separate arcs that focus on different settings and characters (Sans Dio). No argument there since the One Piece anime is slowly dipping thanks to Toei's usual animation quality. I'd rather stick with the manga any day, though I can admit some arcs are starting to get less impressive since the time skip (****ing Dressrosa in its nearly two year length). Oda plans to finally end the series in a good 8 years and the ties would have to be ended on a grander scale than Naruto's in that case.

Just have them find the treasure, defeat Blackbeard's crew, have one last clash with the marines, tick off the Gorosei/World Government for the last time, add any new Strawhat that would be useful (**** Rebecca), defeat the malevolent Yonko, and give Luffy some meat with his treasure instead of a forced wife. At least we have a good time frame of when it will finally end since even the more patient fans want the story to hurry up already.

 

[ChikoLad]

So some character art sketches of that "Sonic Mega Drive" comic that's coming soon, made their way online and THEY'RE SO PERFECT

Spoiler

You know, I just hope the 25th Anniversary game is like a Rayman Origins style 2D platformer with character designs like this. I'd be all over that.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Raizo > Kin'emon > Carrot > Wanda > Kanjuro > Momo > Rebecca

That's all I'll say about the best Strawhat options.

EDIT: Those comic designs are so perfect (including Knuckles and Tails). I can't wait to read it whenever they are finally finished with the product.

 

[jarbAin]

It seems that you are discussing about Naruto. I have been wondering, should I start watching it? There would be over 450 episodes of the Shippuden alone available on crunchyroll for free. I'd also have the next week free from school, so I could easily watch all of them. At least if I don't sleep. Or spend too much time getting food. Or go out. Or do anything else...

Not that bad idea, actually.

 

[Wario Bros.]

So I learned that Lt. Surge's French and German name is Major Bob.

I now dislike his English name...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Yes, even the strong female furries with the electrical weapons would be a better option than a pink haired crybaby that would drag the crew down with her tears.

Watch Naruto, but stop right before Shippuden. So you can be spared a lot of disappointment.

Even Tingle and Scrappy Doo would be better crew members than Rebecca.

Well, the ordinary Naruto is unavailable in my region. I don't like being dissappointed, so then I probably shouldn't watch it.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Even the Badge Bunny would be a better crew member. Just look at him, who wouldn't want to have this magnificent pink badass on their ship?

Let's see what other people think.

Getting real sick of people bashing video games. Like, this is getting ridiculous.

I half expected you to mention Daisy being better, but this is so much better. I'm glad that you finally realize how perfect the Nintendo Badge Arcade is.

Speaking of him, I found something that could give you all a chuckle.

 

[Champ Gold]

But stuff from "the Dark Age" is still referenced in Sonic, and some of the stuff from the Dark Age was still good.

Outside of music tracks and Crisis City in 06, there hasn't been any callbacks to those games like Shadow, Chronicles, the Storybook Series and the furthest they went is Heroes and they won't even reference anything past that before Unleashed.

I dare you to find any references to games released in 2004-2007 that has been in future titles that isn't Generations

I agree with your post, but there are reasons why people on here acted that way.

It's not even that he was wrong, we don't care either way on here if the leakers are right or wrong, we just move on, or treat it like it's no big deal.

The reason why he's so hated is because he's a total **** to most people. He like he's superior and always right. He can't take constructive criticism, and the minute you say you don't believe any of what he pedals, your blocked on his twitter.

He doesn't accept that he's not all mighty, and isn't always right He's very arrogant which angers people.

And hell, you can't even say most things to him, without him being a jerk in most cases. For example, I tweeted him off with a normal comment, and was just block right away and that was it.

He's a journalist, this type of attitude should not be acceptable. As a journalist you need to communicate fairly to everyone, you can't treat your viewers or readers like ****. It's just not fair or right.

This is why people disliked him so much. If he changed his demeanor he would be a lot more pleasant to people, and wouldn't be so hated.

But let's be honest, that's not going to happen.

Might seem kind of random, but I was browsing my subscriptions and found this video of this person playing through a horror game I've really never heard of before.

Now, for me, I probably wouldn't handle this horror game very well. I just don't have the guts in order to sit through those types of games lol. Although I do know a lot of friends that can sit in the dark with the game's volume set to max (which they do in order to maximize the scare effect.)

[Frostwraith]

I forgot about that overused trope and really wish I did.

The fandom always find ways in which they make a character look bad in order to make them and their ships look good. I'm not really a Naruto fan anymore, but I've always found it strange how Sakura gets this huge hatedom that would pressure them into bashing any Hinata fan (including myself) to express their frustration. I try to be nice and tell them that I don't hate Sakura, yet they still attack me for liking a one dimensional overrated ***** like her. And I'll never forget about the usual Hetalia wars and how some girls can be pretty violent just to prove that their ship is better than yours. Yes, because it's soooooo bad to like shipping Japan with the UK.

This is why I'm an ex-Naruto and ex-Hetalia fan these days.

Stuff like that is why I like anime and manga, but hate a good chunk of its fandom.

I like anime. I like manga (and actually own some volumes). I like the art styles, several of the mediums' stories, characters... Even in some of the more clichéd or mediocre series with predictable plots, overused tropes and such, I can find enjoyment at times because they can be entertaining and fun to watch. I'm not that kind of elitist that believes every anime should be a sort of high-class art or something. This said, I greatly enjoy a well-written story with good characters and creativity and avoids relying on previously established motifs and tropes.

But damn, some people do take that stuff too seriously for their own good. This is why you see me bashing the "otaku" and "weebs" despite liking a lot of Japanese stuff. There's being a fan and there's being obsessed with something.

They're no different from video game fanboys who go out of their way to bash anything that isn't their favorite game or console.

One of the reasons I speak out against these kind of fans is because I've been that way before and missed out on good games thanks to being so shortsighted.

Anyway, you guys may realize I'm starting to post a bit less often than usual around these parts. Not only Smash speculation is over, but I have been busier than usual and have to focus on other things right now. I'll still be popping up from time to time.

I do need to start breaking out from the Internet. It already consumes me plenty of time, whether I want it or not, as I also use it a lot for college stuff and other such important life matters...

(This is not a good-bye message, just in case someone may interpret it the wrong way. I'll still be around and checking out on stuff, commenting if anything catches my eye, as is the case right now.)

Thoughts? Coincidence or actually happening?

I wonder if this means we will see a few more mons like Ashgreninja?

 

[ChikoLad]

I dare you to find any references to games released in 2004-2007 that has been in future titles that isn't Generations

Did you not read my other post?

Runners references pretty much everything (playable Werehog, companions based on the Storybook games as well as Story episodes, etc), the Mario & Sonic games often reference "Dark Age" games (even Chronicles) going so far as to have actual stages from those games for Dream Events, Archie Comics still reference everything (and SEGA has control over what is allowed to be depicted in them), and '06 is referenced in Unleashed multiple times in humourous ways.

Not to mention the Heroes redesigns of Chaotix being held over as well as multiple games using some sort of team/class mechanic.

And of course the Archie comics reference a lot, even having a Shadow the Hedgehog inspired storyline featuring the Black Arms, the Commander, etc. And they've kept true to the ending of Shadow the Hedgehog with Shadow's current characterisation, where he put his past behind him.

And let's not forget the Sonic Twitter.

Just because they don't reference every past game in every new game, doesn't mean they have forgotten about them. That's like saying Nintendo forgets what Sunshine or SMB2 is because they don't reference them all of the time.

 

[Luigi The President]

I promise once I finish Conquest in a bit I'll be back here commenting like normal, I'm just...I'm just so addicted. It's got such an amazing cast of characters and it's challenging and fun and I'm gonna cry

Wasn't this something in one of the Mega Man Battle Network games or something?

Well on a more related note this is a pretty common Pokémon fanfiction concept anyway. . .

 

[A Distant Demon]

Tried pokemon showdown with an utterly garbage team. One first game in first turn (insta quit) lost second to spikes, won 3rd on miss hax. This **** is weird

Thoughts? Coincidence or actually happening?

I wonder if this means we will see a few more mons like Ashgreninja?

Doesn't this kind if imply that people will be fighting a 10 year old (fused with a pokemon)?


Other than the fact the concept of fusion is absurd in the first place I don't think they are going to go that far. MAYBE "ash greninjas" but that by itself is an issue for future games. You would then have pokemon based on characters that aren't even in the game
