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

[Champ Gold]

Aaron Webber (Sonic Social Media guy AKA The Meme Lord) claimed that something big is being announced here. It's apparently not a game, but big nonetheless. Which makes sense considering the people in attendance.

Starts in 8 minutes so Sonic fans should tune in.

It's the movie isn't it?

 

[Bananija]

Generic Villain #1(wow, that's actually a first for Jojo) has a tongue fetish
Polnareff is probably the best new character
Jotaro is still a ****, he didn't need to kill that shark
And did he really just find out about that girl by touching her boobs? Is Avdol, like, the only main character who is not a pervert?

You may think Advol is a pervert in one shocking fight.
I guess you just don't like Jotaro. It's ok thought, everyone have there on taste.
And you'll be happy to hear that Polnareff get as much, if not more, attention than Jotaro.

BIG'S BIG FISHING ADVENTURE BOOOOYS

Oh boy, Stardust Crusaders has a lot of surprises for you. I don't wanna spoil it, but lemme tell ya, SA is where the "Bizarre" in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure really starts kicking in.

Well, the episode I'm is the one with the monkey and everything related to it is really, really weird

It's not that I don't like him
Just that he's a total ****

I'm really considering of getting an Xbox One.

Still trying to find out how to buy since there's no game bundle I want from it.

I've decided to continue to teach myself C++

I started years ago but stopped because I started taking school and they teach a different computer language

But I ended up deciding to take media design instead (Brilliant decision...)

C++ is pretty much the base of most software, so go for it. And when you finish it, you'll know 90% of C and Java as well.

So when did a Pokkén Tournament section get added to SmashBoards?

Remember that time when Capcom published a game of Harvey Birdman: Attorney in law? which was basically Ace Attorney but with Harvey Birdman?

The game even had Street Fighter cameos:

Have any of you here heard about the confirmation of Half-Life and Portal films that J. J. Abrams is planning to direct?

Both movies are in the writing stages as of now.

 

[Ura]

Once again, the DLC for Hyrule Warriors Wii U is only happening in 2016 because it's all being made for the 3DS port anyway. It's not much extra effort for them to make it.

Smash DLC is made fresh on it's own, with two versions already out and completed.

Same thing goes for Smash 3DS and Wii U.

A new batch of DLC is being made for HWL throughout the year of 2016 even after the batch it got in 2015. All i'm saying is that HW/HWL DLC is much more impressive than Smash DLC.

Now I'm starting to see people insist that new Smash DLC may still be coming based solely on the patch update coming out of nowhere when Sakurai 'said' patches were done. Because LOL Sakurai is always trolling except when he literally never does

amirite fellas?????

Probably not DLC though it does lead to some credibility of Smash NX having more characters.

 

[ChikoLad]

Naka-san just confirmed that Sonic was considered for Smash Bros as early as Melee as he had spoke to Sakurai-san about it, but it was too late.

This trivia was known, but the interview source was obscure. So at least we have a solid source now.

Let's play a game guys:

A new Mario Kart game has been announced, and they are allowing non-mario characters as DLC.

Now you have to choose 10 non-mario characters (and you can choose anyone from Smash and even Super Mario Maker, so if you want to choose the Majohng piece or that one anime girl, be my guess) as drivers for this new installment.

whatever influenced my decisions for these characters will be in parentheses

1. Link (Upcoming Zelda title promotion, returning from 8)
2. Villager (Returning from 8)
3. Kirby (Planet Robobot promotion)
4. Fox (Starfox Zero promotion)
5. Olimar (Pikmin 4 promotion)
6. Pikachu (Pokemon Sun/Moon promotion)
7. Captain Falcon (8's inclusion of the Blue Falcon and two F-ZERO tracks)
8. Ice Climbers (Guilty pleasure)
9. Sonic (Sega All-Stars Racing series, previous ties with Mario series)
10. Pac-Man (Previous ties with Mario Kart Arcade trilogy)

A Sonic 25th Anniversary event is happening July 22nd at San Diego. You can get tickets here! https://www.universe.com/events/sonic-25th-anniversary-party-tickets-san-diego-2P1ZRL

The fact that Sonic was considered for Melee is also amazing. Makes me wish that it wasn't too late for him. Well at least we got him in now.

So for those of you who didn't watch the panel and only cared about the annoucements:

-They confirmed the release date of Fire & Ice which...I can't remember right now. It's in September anyway. Twitch streams can't be rewinded unfortunately.

-They explained what all of their cryptic teasing was about. While it apparently isn't everything yet, one of the things the numbers were hinting towards was the date "7/22/16". They confirmed that, on this date, there will be....you know what, it's what SegaNintendoUbisoft said (got 'd mid post). Should be noted that this is where the new main series game will be announced, apparently.

-They showed a teaser trailer for Big's Big Fishing Adventure. "The trial begins April 1st". I can't wait to see what comes of this.

September 27th for Fire and Ice iirc.

If BBFA's an actual game it'll be better than 99% of Steam Greenlight.

I've had a theory about BBFA that I think is becoming more and more likely.

At the last two annual Sonic Hacking Contests, there was a ROM hack called "Big's Fishing Derby" that was notable for actually being a simple but impressive game. It was an arcade style fishing game that could be played with two players.

I've been thinking, considering how well received this was at the contest, and considering how in touch with the fandom Aaron Webber is, maybe Webber contacted the developers of this hack to make an actual game of it for say, mobile devices? I don't think it's impossible, considering that Taxman and Stealth, who created the Sonic CD, Sonic 1, and Sonic 2 remakes of recent years, were originally from the Sonic Hacking community.

 

[jarbAin]

I am wondering, why can't we have a 3ds app that let's us control some other WiiU games than smash. For games like Mario kart, that would be a great idea.

The real Sonic 25th anniversary was right here all along

Also, has anybody been close to crying in a TV show? I recently did my best to keep my tears to myself with Death Parade...The fourth episode kept hitting certain notes which all affected me due to me finding it relatable and how it also had a fear of mine showed off. I'm still having a tough time dealing with the episode

Not quite for me, but I have definitely gotten quite emotional, maybe feeling a bit of "thickness" behind the eyes... you know, the prelude to tears.

I choked up a bit at the season 2 finale of the original Teen Titans series.

Because I certainly am

Several times actually. Maybe I'm just super emotional and get way too into anime.

All too common for me. Anything that touches the hidden idealist in me usually triggers the waterworks. It doesn't even have to be a TV show.

Pokemon B&W with how bad it was

Spoiler: RvB spoilers

It's hard for me to find any show I've cried at at some point but I suppose the ending of RvB Season 13 definitely left an impression on me with Epsilon Church's final speech about the heroic sacrifice and how the hero never gets to see if it actually made a difference.
"Ain't that a *****?"
I suppose it's that I've been watching the show since Season 6 and watched every season at least three times that makes it have an impact on me because this is it, it really might be no more Church prequel stuff notwithstanding.

There's probably other shows but I can't think of them.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Gravity Falls is pretty much the only show that's managed to bring me close to tears, that I can recall.

Well, as far as animated ones anyway. A couple live-action ones have managed to leave the effect of tears on me. Falling Skies and The Walking Dead are the only ones I can recall doing that to me though.

Probably, although I don't remember which ones. My eyes have felt a little off during a few video game endings, too.

But you know what game flat out brought me to tears? Repeatedly? Even when doing another playthrough?

Spoiler: You will either think I am insane or agree completely

Oh, you think I'm lying?

I had no hand in writing this.

 

[Bananija]

The only show that made remotly close to cry was One Piece

Spoiler

When Ussopp was leaving the crew and fighting Luffy during Water-7.
Maybe I cried actually

Jesus christ, don't remind me of that finale
I was almosy crying because of "That-spoilery-scene-you-should-know-about"
I just didn't because all my family was in the same room as me

This is relevant, by the way.

Either this is true or this is a really well made fake leak.

If it's true it looks pretty cool. But I would have like the possibility to pick a starter pokemon.

Looks a bit clunky, although believable.

Honestly why use the word potentially?

We have it t two angles, a full view of the room, and a very impressive demo, which if this wasn't pokemon go and a fake, would probably land the guy in trouble for using pokemon Ips. So it's probably real. Looks much better then I'd expect to. And note how ivysaur has something called crystals on his summary.


you know what else has crystals?

The Sun and Moon logos....

Looks a bit clunky, although believable.

Well it makes sense that every pokemon is catchable rather then a single part of a line. Plus XY introduced wild starters in friendsafaris, so it isn't to unlikely.
