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

[Kikkipoptart12]

Going on tumblr was the biggish mistake I have did after Cloud was revealed in smash 4, People saying he's a Shulk clone ( Bringing back memories when people said Shulk was a Marth clone) and ShulkXCloud.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

(Also Rayman)

They're not as widely popular and well known as the characters on my list, neither are their franchises. Sorry.

 

[N3ON]

Clearly, Captain John Price is our next DLC.

Embrace it now before it's too late.

Goddammit I wanted Soap. ((((

With Cloud and Ryu here, Sakurai should really bring back Snake. And add Crash, Jill Valentine, Lara Croft, and Spyro, thus ensuring that no one will ever be happy with whatever roster a Sony All Star Battle Royale sequel might have.

They can all be grouped together under the Nice Try Sony Bundle.

Or could come free for those who exchange in their copies of PSASBR.

xD

You say that like ShulkxCloud is a bad thing.

Shoot I guess we should've gotten them over Mega Man too then, hey?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Welp.

I changed my Sig finally.

What do you think?

"Shulk is a clone of Marth!"

"Cloud is a clone of Shulk!"

So this means the next swordsman will be a clone of Cloud, clearly.

 

[Arcadenik]

I am quite happy with the Direct. What I am looking forward to:

• Twilight Princess HD + Wolf Link amiibo (pre-ordered)
• Zelda 2016 (even if the clip was only a couple seconds long)
• Hyrule Warriors Legends + Linkle (I have a feeling she is going to be a recurring character)
• Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow for 3DS VC (Yellow alone makes Meowth and Team Rocket relevant again... Meowth/Team Rocket for Smash!)
• Pokemon Picross (I freaking LOVE nonograms)
• Splatoon new stages and other stuff
• Mario Maker portal (we got a search engine for Mario Maker levels?)
• Mega Man Legacy Collection + gold Mega Man amiibo (pre-ordered)
• Dragon Quest 7 for 3DS
• Dragon Quest 8 for 3DS
• Cloud + Final Fantasy content in Smash
• Smash Direct next month

What I am not looking forward to:

• my empty wallet

Guys there's only one true Smash rep

 

[Opossum]

We're talking iconic third parties, eh?


Gordon Freeman's a shoo-in! He'll be announced for Smash to coincide with the announcement of Half-Life 3.

But man...do you ever get that feeling where some of your most wanted characters are either hated or otherwise not even recognized by the Smash fanbase, so when you think about their hypothetical reveal you worry about public reception? I do sometimes. Like I'd be hyped as **** for Chrom or Henry Fleming, but at the same time I feel so many others wouldn't be. I mean they both have like no shot anyway but hey neither did Cloud amirite but still.



I ramble.

I'd be totally fine with another Kid Icarus character.

But then I think about "Sakurai Bias" and "Too Many Fire Emblem characters" and, well...

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Shoot I guess we should've gotten them over Mega Man too then, hey?

I'm just saying Rayman and Bomberman shouldn't be in the game at all.

Spoiler

I kid, please don't kill me.

 

[N3ON]

Welp.

I changed my Sig finally.

What do you think?

I don't like it.

I might be biased though.

Considering my most wanted characters consist of Banjo, Cloud, Skull Kid, Krystal, Marina Liteyears and Shantae (all of which I've wanted since long before the ballot), yes, I have been there. Isaac, Diddy and Bomberman too but people have more or less always looked favourably upon their inclusion from a character standpoint so they don't count lol.

Don't let them get to you. Upon public reveal or at most a little while after the dust has settled most people eat their words. Plus... you're getting a character you really want so honestly... **** what other people think.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Mighty no 9 FINALLY has a release date

February

Gonna get the 3DS version

 

[Fenriraga]

Spoiler: Delicious Crisis Core Music

These two songs.

PLEASE let at least one of these make it to Midgar.

I wonder what remix it'll get- oh who am I kidding, it's gonna be One Winged Angel for the 7th time.

I mean I'm basically used to it by now (hell, I've been sailing a ship that's long since hit the ocean floor if my avatar and sig are anything to go by ) but I guess it contributes to the whole notion of wanting to share one's joy with others only to find those people are hard to come by. But yeah at the end of the day you're right. I mean, they get to complain a lot, and you got a character you've supported for ages. Who's the real winner?



Why are my two favorite newcomer choices both impossible and the guys everyone calls generic? I can't win.

I mean I'm probably like one of the 5 people who would actually be excited for Slippy Toad.

I'm sure the salt would be laughably large but hey, I get to destroy you with Slippy Toad.

 

[Deleted member]

Guys there's only one true Smash rep

I remember him being used as a Smash joke in Nintendo Power years ago....

 

[Opossum]

I can't see an image of John Madden on Smashboards without thinking about Debatemania, if anyone here remembers that.


Lately I've been working on a moveset concept for Henry Fleming and I think I finally got a good idea going for his gimmick/playstyle. Finally starting to come together.

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

You guys want a 3rd party character? Well here you go, this is one of the most iconic 3rd party characters, so iconic that he'll be replacing Cloud as a DLC character, its

PARTY TIME!

What is your reaction to this character replacing Cloud as a DLC character?

Trust me, there are more than enough Chrom fans out there for him being such a generic character.

And Fleming is neat, I didn't know people didn't care for him. I mean people would say "dur he got in over x, unforgivable!" but like they say that about almost all of the characters so whatever, it's not a big deal. They'd get over it fast.

Really if today proves anything, even if the character is a divisive one, there's still enough joy to go around.

Skull Kid, Isaac and Banjo? I like you.

Isaac & Banjo for life. <3

Skull Kid is cool too. I have a statue of him.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh goodness.

You know, people kept praising me for that, but it was really @Smooth Criminal and @Moon Monkey and @Disfunkshunal who made it special.

I support Tingle and Waluigi. Hatebases mean nothing to me.

I don't want to revel in their salt (but I do want to see the initial reactions), but yeah, support who you want. If they get confirmed, see it as an opportunity to show people why they're a good choice. Turn the haters around.

Oh goodness.

And @Venus of the Desert Bloom too.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

This would be the ideal 3rd party line up for me. Classic gaming icons from huge gaming franchises that are really popular worldwide, and there is just enough for a 3rd party exclusive 8 player Smash.

If Crash wants to be in a game like this, I think Sony would have to make a crossover fighter

wait a minute...

You want a hate base? Ridley, a KI character who isn't Medusa/Hades/Magnus and a square enix character from only 2 games not named Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. Fun times

If he replaced Cloud, I will be like why!? I will like to see more animals in smash but a rapping dog from a bad movie is not one of them.

 

[Shroob]

Today really took me back to Brawl days.

We used to laugh about Cloud being in Smash.... now look at us.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

What will Cloud's emblem be?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Looking back, I'm kind of salty that December's the final update, pretty mich guaranteeing rip Wolf. I had more disbelief than hype for Cloud, though I'll have to play as him to see if he's really hype.
The Nintendo Direct as a whole on the other hand was VERY hype! All 3 Fates versions in a special edition >w<

Swamp, I reckon Cloud's emblem will be the Final Fantasy logy without the Final Fantasy letters

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

What will Cloud's emblem be?

Obviously

 

[wildvine47]

I think the character who benefits most from Cloud's reveal is probably Banjo and I'm so excited for that prospect.

With Phil Spencer's tweet about it, the fact that Banjo from ballot polling looks to be third-place-ish on the polls, and with Cloud knocking the concept of console/company loyalty out of the park, I really think things are potentially looking up for the Bear and the Bird.

Here's hoping those Ballot polls were accurate, and that Banjo's vote count is big enough for Sakurai to take notice.

Note.

The Direct doesn't say it will be the final update. It says it will be the final Smash direct.

It will look Like this.

Spoiler

 

[A Distant Demon]

big comet/planet/whatever from this maybe?

EDIT goddammit

 

[Cutie Gwen]

All I want is Big Bridge and Decisive Battle and they could add Never Going to give you up for Midgar(?) for all I care

 

[Spazzy_D]

Sourcegaming shout out!

 

[Soul.]

Oh, so the December broadcast is the last Smash Direct thing.

Updates will keep on going I guess?

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

If he replaced Cloud, I will be like why!? I will like to see more animals in smash but a rapping dog from a bad movie is not one of them.

So we can all universally agree that if the rapping dog got into smash, he would be the worst character ever?

Don't lose hope for Wolf, if you do you shall have to suffer the wrath of the 10 hour version of the rapping dog.

He averted the image only post there *draws some yellow arrows* with a topical line, right at the top there *draws a yellow circle*. Excellent play by Champ Black.

Granted, I think it's about time we start to face the facts here.

Unless Wolf is being packaged with a new stage, or they add a new stage without a character tied to it ala Mario Maker, there's only 2 slots left after Cloud.
