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

[Deleted member]

So, the CGs for the Fates children DLC have been revealed
They are for the highest rated child units
http://imgur.com/a/C5FX9
As you can see, these are... awkward
Also, for a bit of perspective, Nina was the highest rated one and she was 10th
Also, lol Birthright lol

No Hayato? Really?

And yeah, lol birthright lol. Though it's ironic because I ended up getting more in that game than conquest because I had a sausage fest of a team in conquest.

It's the festival; equivilent to the hot spring scramble from awakening.
Taking the 2 most liked kids of both genders for the CG.
And I'm kinda assuming that they didn't want to redo Caeldori Rhajat or Asugi. Because I have a feeling one of those 3 would've made it to the top 2 of their genders.

UH... NEW SMASH UPDATE WAS JUST RELEASED.

[Arcanir]

Strangely enough, Midori and Shigure got CGs, despite having characters beat both of them out (Shiro for Shigure, Velouria, Selkie and Soleil for Midori).

I'm honestly kind of confused about the choice behind their inclusion.

Those 3 were actually quite low on the popularity scale last time I checked. I wouldn't be surprised if people thinking about the possibility of a similar DLC had some effect into it, but then again, most children characters were pretty low, especially the Male characters. I think only 5 female children got in the Top 20 Females and only 2 Male children got in the Top 20 Males.

I wonder if this will be our last patch.

I dont see why they would need another one as this is the one that would address Bayonetta and Corrin if they needed oto get touched on.

This may be the REAL end of Smash for Wii U/3DS's wild ride.


Please end the ride by buffing

I don't exactly know what the popularity results were so I'm going off the assumption that they're taking the same route.
But yeah.
Fates... has a lot of uninteresting kids.
Birthright has like 1 good one that isn't a reincarnated Awakening character.

So how do I unlock wolf?


But it will be interesting to see who's changed.
And this is a pretty good video game rip:

Spoiler

and is this mixed with The #FE ending song?

 

[A Distant Demon]

. . .i think the CPU just ragequit on me.

Was playing WFT against a lvl 9 jigglypuff

They missed rest. Charged up f-smash

And Just before i unleashed my 3ds just shut off.

Not the screen that asks you if you want to power down. Just completely off. Full battery too.


Stay Salty CPU. Stay salty

Jiggs was jealous that Wii Fit Trainer is higher tiered then her, so she made the ds shut off.

 

[Chandeelure]

R.I.P. Meta Knight.

 

[Aetheri]

All I got so far is a ****ton of lag on FG...and a player that really sucks with ZSS and Mario....

Edit: and a Sheik I two stocked that blamed the Lag...lol

 

[Retroend]

so a question, is the smash nx rumor still up in the air or has it been disconfirmed?

 

[Burruni]

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/fe/if_bk/questionary/index.html
Shiro, right?

Mitama by nature of the damn Haiku theme.
Shiro's just the lazy son who lives off your couch and won't even train with a sword.

(Edit: Anna being that low is a crime)

Ah, I like her as well. But I like Shiro for not being so similar in personality to their Lord Parent(but then again, I haven't seen Siegbert yet).
That being said, apparently Shigure and Midori have CG scenes as well.

[Swamp Sensei]

Told you there would be at least one more patch.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

So there was a new patch?


We all know why Gengar didn't make the cut now.

 

[Burruni]

A) The only one of the 4 royal sons that are anything similar in personality to their parent IS Siegbert. Kiragi's no hardass. Shiro's got no responsibility. Forrest is... Forrest.
B) Oh... I was kinda surprised Shigure didn't beat out Dwyer but at least he's still there. (Would've taken Soleil over Nina though)

 

[ChikoLad]

Apparently the only top tier who didn't receive any changes this patch was Rosalina. Rest of them got nerfed apparently.

I told you guys she was fair and balanced but also dabess. :^]

 

[AreJay25]

those ****ing meta knight nerfs

why, sakurai, why

 

[Ura]

I considered golden Sun. But the creator seems to want to wait a bit before making a new one. Didn't they also say they wanted to see high demand for another as well? Yes there is demand, but I don't think Nintendo sees it as big yet.

That was back in 2012 lol. I would say a fair amount of time has passed since then. We don't want to wait like 5-7 years for every installment to come out.

As for demand, DD did just fine. Japan and Europe sales were decent and NA sales for GS were off the roof (540,000 units). Anyone saying that their isn't a demand for GS is kidding themselves because DD on it's own has outsold every FE game barring Blazing Sword, Sacred Stones, Awakening, and Fates. The GS series as a whole has only sold about 50% less then the entire FE series added altogether.

Was mostly meaning Shiro and Siegbert, since you could've had Xander as a Knight Lord and Ryoma as a Blade Lord and nothing would've been different. But yeah, if I counted Kiragi and Forrest, they are also pretty different. But then again, their fathers are Takumi and Leo.

 

[ChikoLad]

So the general important things to take from this:

-Sheik received a few nerfs, most notably needles having less range now
-ZSS received quite a few nerfs, mainly in damage output
-Meta Knight got nerfs too, most notably his U-air. It has a more horizontal angle now so it's not the obnoxious juggling tool it once was
-Bayonetta and Corrin were changed, not sure how yet
-Samus received MAJOR buffs. I hear Mewtwo did too
-Rosalina didn't receive anything, but she may be the game's new undisputed #1, due to the fact literally all of her big competition got nerfed in a way that removes the main challenges she had in those MUs (Meta Knight not being able to juggle her like before, for example)

Spoiler

SO THIS IS HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES

AND FROM IT, EMERGES THIS FACE

 

[Retroend]

corrin got nerfed. i am not happy with this. T_T

 

[Chandeelure]

Rosalina is not top tier, Luma is.

 

[Jdaster64]

Oh wow, patches with meaningful balance changes? I'll probably look into that tomorrow morning after the dust's settled, rather than get worked up over the usual round of placebos.

Also, made a couple Tumblr posts about Braixen's Pokken alt (and subsequently shiny form) that I thought were humorous enough to share. The former was pretty much my actual reaction.

 

[ChikoLad]

Rosalina is not top tier, Luma is.

Nah, it's both.

Gravitational Pull (on it's own, this completely shuts down characters, most notably Ness), U-Air KOs, and D-Air spikes, are all Rosalina.

Not to mention she outanges so many characters without Luma, has good mobility, has tons of disjoints, and an exceptional edgeguarding game even without Luma.

Luma is icing on the cake.

 

[Aetheri]

Crashboards go away...

so ZSS and Cloud both got nerfs from what I hear...
Guess Sakurai really wants me to use Link...Did I get my Nair buff?....no?...k

I wonder if the so called worst character in the game got her much needed buffs...

 

[Swamp Sensei]

That moment when both of mains get major buffs!

 

[Roaring Salsa]

RIP the "better nerf Greninja" jokes

Mewtwo being a bit heavier and faster is really nice

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

They buffed Ganon's jab +1 Skaurai.

 

[Radical Bones]

Was not excepting such major buffs. Can someone detail the 'zard buffs as I often second him.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Where is all this info coming from? I need to check if my mains got buffed or nerfed

 

[AreJay25]

Damage increase on nair and fair, landing lag decreases on all aerials (notably fair and bair)

 

[Aetheri]

Various information is popping up here and there on YT or Twitter...you can probably search your character as well as '1.1.5 patch' to see what shows up if anything was found yet...

----

Samus getting some much needed buffs is convenient for me since I've recently decided she'll be my definitive number 4...I have been improving quite a bit with her, and these buffs will make it easier moving forward...the newly released Art of Samus coupled with the patch buffs pretty much sealed the deal with her...

And these buffs are literally in all the right places!!

It's funny thinking about how my character rotation has switched up since the game's release....
were my top 4 back in the early days...

Now it's these guys...guess it came down to focusing on my favourite characters over who I do well with...Hurray for blonde-haired blue-eyed heroes....

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Literally every Zard aerial has its landing lag decreased!

 

[AreJay25]

Apparently Bayo's up-b got a damage nerf. Not sure what to make out of that...

Her dair got affected too, it lasts longer now.

Edit: Witch Time got nerfed too LOL

 

[Naoshi]

mewtwo being as fast as shiek is amazing news

along with him being slightly heavier now
