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

[Ivander]

I mean...
Hinoka's just a bit to strained sounding at times. Her line delivery being more hit or miss.
Selkie...
Jesus christ.

This sounds like Palmon with a dry throat.
It's actually a little painful to hear and I'm someone who's defended dubs over subs a lot in their time.

Edit: Same VA as Peri, and the difference is like 15% but it's /just/ enough to be passable.

Spoiler

Is it a bad thing that I find their voices fine? I don't expect them to sound the best, I just expect them to work for the character....and also hope their scripts are passable. If their voice is great, that's a bonus. I mean, I'm not a fan of Hinata's voice, but it works for him, even if it sounds like a potential Roger Sonic knock-off.

 

[Burruni]

"Louise Maria" would still be loved.
You know why?
She'd been the first female Ghostbuster and she would've gotten the job done right.

My problem is the raw "Scratchiness" of it. And it's the only one in the game that really stood out as "bad" to me across both routes.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I saw some of the Shots Fired 2 Doubles oddshots for Smash 4.

Those games looks so hype, too bad I wasn't able to watch it live

 

[Coricus]

Oh, wow.

Someone in one of these videos dug up Anita's thesis.

Spoiler

She quotes "White supremacist capitalist patriarchy" from someone.

And then later, in entirely her own words, she says "we have to push back against the social systems that maintain dominate cultural norms such as patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism."

I'm pretty sure the word "capitalist" alone pretty much confirms my already strong suspicion that the ending of Anita's game concept was just derailing it into a tract about how Socialism is the one true form of government.

I mean. . .I was right. I was completely right.

Oh, and it gets better.

"Cooperative," "Emotionally expressive," and "Intuitive" are apparently negative feminine traits in media.

Yes, Anita, emotions and the desire to have individual thought are bad things. Totally.

And isn't cooperation kind of required in order for your own favored political construct to function? Like, even more so than in other political constructs?

Or are you saying you shouldn't have to cooperate with anyone, but anyone who isn't you has to cooperate with YOU?


It's like watching Thomas the Tank Engine and The Little Engine That Could try to sumo wrestle.

 

[wedl!!]

Someone just told me that the Metal Gear series should be within the rating limbo of Halo; a game that isn't quite in its rating but still is.

What.

Stuff

It's only befitting of Anita, the person who went on Kickstarter to get money for her series and barely produce the content she was paid by many to do, to favor the principles of dictator-style communism.

Apperently there is an unused vampire character that was intended to be in Killer Instinct 2.

Double Helix, please put him in the new KI!

Well whoever is in charge, make the vampire a reality.

They clearly meant that one Helix wasn't enough to make the wish come true.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I got something to say about the Rugrats.

I think Rugrats has great writing, but somehow, I just feel like like my IQ goes down. I expect characters with deep backstories behind them, and I just get baby talk. Now, I take the show way too seriously. And I know, being a show about babies is kind of the point of the cartoon. It feels weird watching the show again and not liking it as much as before.

Just felt like venting this out of nowhere.

I don't really remember, All Grown Up wasn't as memorable. It was an interesting direction for Rugrats, but it didn't last really long as a show.

I'm only remember Luigi being big on him, so my bad!

You can be counted to then!

Oh and guys this may be legit....

This is what I posted before. A thread popped up discussing it, and someone( presumably the op of the original leak) came in and left this.


It's design is giving me a real Ken sugiormi feeling.... I'ts much different then what's been posted and it comes from 2ch which leaks corocoro and other things from time to time...

The thing reminds me of the black and white starters leak.
Thoughts?

I. . .don't know.

They look very GOOD, but they don't really look like starters.

If the claim is that they are starters, then it is almost certainly fake.

If the claim is that they are simply random Pokémon, however, I am willing to keep a very open mind on the possibility of their legitimacy.

I will say that the images are not nearly as CLEAN as the Black and White leak, however seeing as we are much earlier into development the marketing art may not have been fully polished up yet.

it's interesting. There is no claim as to what they are, but most assume starters. They were posted with the words( in Japanese) good morning(at 7:03am in Japan)However a water one is missing so it's intriguing, well not fully colored.

There's this fire one posted with it:

Spoiler: big images

\\

And then this is the original image of the grass thing:

As I said, these are quite interesting! they are much different then the others, and I could see them being official. The pic above is what most made think of the black and white starter thing.

It's similar in terms of what the pictures on and it's resolution and color.

As for the paper drawings, they could be a sign it's fake, but at the same time, Ken Sugiormini does draw pokemon out like that first. This is a very surprising leak. It seems unlikely that someone got a hold of these drawings, but it's happened before, and with the recent surge of leaks at Nintendo( which own gamefreak,) this could be another example...

 

[N3ON]

A great amount of energy is always spent debating the validity of leaks like this as if a definitive conclusion on them will be reached through discussion before official confirmation/deconfirmation.

IMO the supposed Fire type actually looks like a Rock type.

What I'm assuming are the eyes would also be deeply atypical of a Starter, although if it was a more general Pokémon then a more unusual eye shape and design would be more understandable.

That's my reason for doubting they'd be starters.

I was thinking that they would be like the kalos starters and start out as the standard type with slight hints to their evolutions. Then they evolve into grass and flying, fire and rock, and I don't know what the water one would be.
their designs are strange, but I could see them be starters or random mons, it's hard to decide.... It's definitely something I'll be watching for now.

And yeah the BW leaks were annoying. As for why they tried to claim they made. Probably trying to take credit. It's piggybacking essentially.

It happens often in the pokemon scene it seems. Regardless of whether or not it's real or fake.

Maybe but the other images help deepen the mystery of it a lot...

EDIT:

OH ****

I don't know if this is the same person that posted the other images but this surfaced in the thread:

It's head is different so maybe it's an evolution or maybe it was created by someone else, but this looks really good to.... It was posted just like the last one.

In a spoiler with hidden text reading:
"believe"

I'm getting excited but.... it's still not confirmed.... I need it though...

How to design Fakemon:

1) Draw some weird shaped thing

2) give it big anime eyes

3) add some bad design and bad matching colors to its body

Boom there's your fakemon guys

 

[Swamp Sensei]

A group of mine has been working on something...

Remember the fighting game starring monsters? Well, we've been doing a couple of things to make it real...

After a lot of discussion and thinking, the final roster is...

Medusa
Yuki-Onna
Wolfman
Vampire
Moth Man
Golem
Chupacabra
???
???
???
???
???
???
???

DLC and stuff can be added later. This roster was chosen to incorporate a diverse roster (in several ways) while giving each character a part in the plot.

Either way, we have a demo for you...

It's a small snippet of a plot for arcade mode. Our current plan is to have the plot go...

• Opening
• Fighting
• Cutscene
• Special Fight
• More fighting
• Another Cutscene
• More Fighting

And so on until the end boss. If you manage to never lose a round, you get the true ending for the character you chose.

Regardless, here we go.

Spoiler: Medusa Story Demo - Draft is rough

(Opening)

*A couple is having a picnic at a park. The guy is wearing sunglasses. A radio is playing some relaxing music. They are sitting near some stone tiles.*



*Camera pans to a tile on the earth. It shakes gently.



Dame: "Change the channel, honey. I want something more exciting."



Dude: "You got it, babe." *starts changing channels*



*radio switches to a new channel*



Radio: "This just in. Are the monsters from your favorite fairy tales and myths actually real? New leaks from charity organization CHIMERA suggest that they are all very real."



Dame: "Monsters?"



Radio: "The evidence for these leaks include once-secret documents from governments of countries from around the world. There are also in-depth research notes on the anatomy of several different creatures. The most disturbing piece of evidence infers that CHIMERA was allegedly planning to weaponize these creatures.”



*Medusa erupts through the earth and screams with rage! Snakes hiss in anger with her*



Medusa: "CHIMERA!!!"



*The couple screams and runs away. The guy drops his glasses*



Medusa: "I knew they could never be trusted. They don't care about anyone but their own damn race. Selfish. Liars! I’ll make certain those cretins get what they deserve!"



HISSSSSSS



*takes out sword and shield*



Medusa: "And by the gods, I will be the one to do it!


...


No guards? Come to think of it, why didn't the seal take effect?"


*snakes hiss quietly*


"You're right. It doesn't matter! Fate has given me an opportunity."



*A man sees her and they lock glances. He panics as he slowly turns to stone.*



*puts on sunglasses*



"And I will not squander it!"



(Scene 2)


Medusa: "Hmm...All these CHIMERA sympathizers. Worthless."



*Moth Man flies in*



Moth Man: "Hey, uh...Miss?"



Medusa: "Hmm? Oh gods, you're ugly."



Moth Man: "I'm gonna ignore the fact that you just said that."



Medusa: "What do you want?"



Moth Man: "Well, uh... *ahem* Hello, Sir or Madam or unsexed creature. My name is Francis, or the Mothman, and I work for CHIMERA.”



Medusa: *gnashes teeth* "CHIMERA?!?"



Moth Man: "Yes indeed, CHIMERA! Now, we have received reports of a…creature with snake-like features causing alarm in the area. That'd be you, Miss."



Medusa: *Seething* *Snakes hiss*



Moth Man: "CHIMERA would like to offer you asylum. *cough* We understand that you may be feeling afraid and hesitant to trust us, but if you allow us to help you, we can promise you a new and safe place in this dangerous world of human dominance."



Meudsa: *Getting even angrier* *Snakes are starting to calm down and listen while Medusa starts muttering to herself*



Moth Man: "CHIMERA is willing to work with whatever cultural or biological needs you may have. If you are interested, please tell our agent, that's me, any biological needs that may be seen an "unusual" or “distur-"



Medua: "I have heard enough!"



Moth Man: "Hey ma’am, they don't mean anything by it. It's just a way to ensure creatures of all types are included. I mean, look at me. I eat things that would give most people nightmares."



Meduesa: "SILENCE! You miserable worm! You are nothing but a dog for CHIMERA!"



Moth Man: "I…I take offense to that worm comment."



Medusa: "All of CHIMERA's followers must be destroyed!"



Moth Man: "Geez, lady. I know it’s my first time giving the whole spiel but you don't have to act crazy about it."



Medusa: "I WILL END YOU!"

What do you think? We want to see what the public think.

Honestly, I can't say I particularly love most Fakemon (or Pokémon, although I like those at a far higher frequency), but many of the ones from the latest "leak" batches have been some of the most unrealistic I have ever seen.

Most standard Fakemon at least start with an animal or object as a base. Some of the new ones just seem outright aimless.

We now are getting more into Unova starter's debate.

This guy claims to have made this. However this doesn't debunk it anymore then the "i made the unova starters" thing did.

This still lives the first two 4 images( the 3 of the rock thing and the original of the bird) unaccounted for without proof.

Not to mention that this was clearly done differently then the original as I pointed out. And the original was on 2ch so the chance of this being debunked is 0.

Which now leads me to have more faith into, because History repeats itself!

[PushDustIn]

No it's a server upgrade (the site is being moved to a better server), but the DNS has to direct traffic to the new server, from what I understand. It's totally dependent on your network when that update happens. For example, I can access the site on my cell phone just fine but my PC still says the site is down. According to the support, it might take up to 6 hours.

because the DNS just take the IP and magic it turns into WORDS

[Radical Bones]

The problem with Pokemon leaks (Sugimori artwork leaks) is that they are just so easy to fake. Even with multiple sketches.

It's not a complicated artwork style at all.

I like the green owl thing, but I can't see it being real in this point in time.

Yes, it's that support conversations with the ellipses.

However, check the fan translation and check the official translations of the B, A and S supports.

Don't be like the drones that are calling out censorship, because this isn't censorship...

But plain incompetence. The B, A and S supports clearly continue a conversation that was meant to be on the C support, as the fan translation suggests.

In other words, they released the game with an unfinished translation.

That's good to hear, I got more out of Zootopia than any other Disney movie in recent memory. Granted it wasn't mindblowing due to it's modest storytelling, but it's very much a movie we needed to come out at this time given it's themes/message that I'm surprised Disney was able to get away with/came from them of all studios. Judy Hoops is probably my favorite female Disney lead now.

So that package from Nintendo UK Store arrived. I'm so happy this new forwarding service works, now I can get all of those freebies they give with game bundles (the T-Shirt in this case), and their prices are actually slightly cheaper than over here too.
