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

[AirshBornely]

So I was rather satisfied with the ND. Wish I saw it live. The chat must've been gold.

My highlights were basically:
-New trailer/gameplay of Star Fox Zero and a release date.

-Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition and a release date.

-More Xenoblade Chronicles X stuff

-Character reveal for smash. (Which was amazing even if I hardly care for Cloud)

-Confirmation on Twilight Princess HD

That wasn't my point. I know Shadow can be different from Sonic. But I don't plain want the Sonic reps to be consisting of only hedgehogs.

You do realize that the point you just restated here is the exact same point I was getting at. So, yeah, that was your point.

Stop acting so pointlessly aggressive and twisting my words around.

I actually wasn't being aggressive there. I was legitimately stating you should have stated from the onset that it had to do with Shadow being a hedgehog more than anything else.

(Because responding with "nevermind that Tails is a mechanic" is making a different point entirely.)

____You____

It's sort of hard to tell since I actually heard that argument once. My bad though

Right. My bad for taking it the wrong way. I got a bit too defensive due to some things I've been going through lately. My bad, bro.

And I kinda misread you as well. Just in... a very tense mood, so I'll try to read more carefully next time.

*Says "More diversity"*
*Lists Flying Sonic*

OK, then.....

I think he means appearance-wise.

After waking up and realizing cloud did indeed happen, I found this masterpiece:

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yo-kai Watch is getting major advertisement from popular kids Youtube Channels now!

It shouldn't be long.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm actually curious about what other Final Fantasy songs we'll get, I won't be surprised if that was just a Medley in the trailer. I'd kill for Big Bridge. Only carrots though

 

[Naoshi]

I think he means appearance-wise.

This though. That was what I meant by diversity when I also brought up Windy Hill being another Green Hill despite being different levels. I could've been a bit more clearer but eh what's done is done and I'm glad it's already cleared up. I'll be more careful with how I express my opinions next time to avoid confusion.

 

[Das Koopa]

Speaking of Snake

His departure has left me with

*sunglasses*

a phantom pain

 

[Bedoop]

We talkin' Sonic Characters?
Emerl.
He's EVERYTHING.
Tails' Flight? Check.
Knuckles's Power? Check.
Chaos' Projectile Water Attacks? Check.
Gamma's annoying-ass explosion? Check.
Everyone's EVERYTHING? Check.

Add the fact that every single one of Emerl's non-TV appearences are on Nintendo Consoles only


Heh.

[Image removed for censor dodging]

Anyway, are people seriously suggesting Master Chief has a chance?

Like, what world do you people live in? Has he even ever shown up on a Nintendo console?

Only reason Cloud showed up is cause of SE's history with Nintendo. He's the face of SE pretty much, a huge gaming icon, and has been in various Nintendo consoles.

Chief, nor M$ have much history with Nintendo, and he's not happening over anything Rare.

Plus, he suffers from a similar problem Snake had, except Chief is supposed to be a "Shooter" wheras Snake was "stealth." Have you guys even played Halo?

Personally, I'd like Serpent Eating The Ground from Bravely Default as a song option.

-Confirmation on Twilight Princess HD

Around the confirmation of new TP amiibo, you'll find a certain someone named Kenith typed a lot of "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
etc.

 

[Dravidian]

Uh, no? I am absolutely not defending Lin's attire, I'm talking about the breast slider for the playable avatar.

My bad then. You were talking about the fan service SCV and the most prominent thing about that game is the costumes, not the boob slider imo.

 

[Deleted member]

Battle Against the Four Fiends and Decisive Battle or butt

This was literally me the whole time
Goddamnit Bill

A comparison between SFZ Builds

 

[Dravidian]

Bruh Tails would get a moveset based from SA2

That'd actually be pretty cool though

I'm down for mech riding tails or sonic boom tails.

Imo his move set should showcase his knack for technology, not just "lol look at muh two tails!"

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Anyway, are people seriously suggesting Master Chief has a chance?

Not really, he's more a hypothetical event horizon. IF he can get in ANY gaem character can. If a Mcrosoft character were to get in it'd be Banjo Kazooie and they were originally Nintendo characters.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

That looks miles better! Damn!

 

[Oblivion129]

I really want the boss theme for FFIV in. It's a great song and was also in Super Mario RPG.

Also for Microsoft I'm pretty sure Banjo has a real chance to get in. I'm sort of expecting him now along with some Nintendo newcomer.

 

[Kenith]

My bad then. You were talking about the fan service SCV and the most prominent thing about that game is the costumes, not the boob slider imo.

All I'm doing is speaking out against the removal of the "boob slider" as I think it's a totally innocent feature and it's especially useful to me as I'd like an avatar that doesn't have a big bust.
I also mentioned that the stuff that's being censored in XBX by Nintendo, other companies got by in their games with the ESRB. That's it. I never defended Lin's bikini costumes in XBX at all.

 

[Solfiner]

I am honestly really hyped about the Pokémon games getting VC releases with trading intact, so I don't mind that we don't have new game announced right now.

It's fine.

[Cutie Gwen]

Pokkem being confirmed to have Shadow Mewtwo as a playable character is more than enough for me right now tbh

 

[Chrono.]

I find it amusing that the amiibo unlocks him.

Something that was speculated that could happen with Smash DLC characters amiibo happened in another game.

 

[Naoshi]

I do wonder if regular Mewtwo will be a thing in Pokken?

Shadow Mewtwo looks p. cool though! I'll definitely take it :D

LOL That's true. I do hope they add a regular unlock method for those who didn't get the card, which I believe is limited to the initial shipment.

 

[Soul.]

I want G/S/C to be on VC so bad, like seriously. I'll probably buy Yellow but please Nintendo just release G/S/C on the eShop.

Might as well get Crystal if they do that because why buy Gold and Silver if you can have both Ho-oh and Lugia in the same game? ok i understand game preferences

nice strawman on the Gematsu thing bruh

Ignoring that bad attempt at a jab

Well, here's the thing; As adamant as I am about Cloud strictly being a general Final Fantasy rep, I can't say that for 100% certain since all of the content (and even the trailer) imply Final Fantasy VII as the source of any FF content we're getting.

Hence, yeah, there is some amount of room open for really outlandish ideas that would've been considered silly for years until yesterday. Chief evades the issue that most FPS/Mature characters have by having "futuristic" as a totally workable excuse for a moveset - Western society is pretty good at editing guns into lasers in all sorts of mediums. He doesn't look realistic and his guns don't.

Like I said, the big hurdle is that sans some cancelled projects between the two, Nintendo doesn't have much relation to Microsoft, and trophies/mii costumes might be a bit of an issue due to Cortana's look.

*crosses fingers for Gold/Silver/Crystal VC*

I am sure that will happen, Pokémon always sells and nostalgia also sells.

Hopefully this leads to gen 3 as well.

Actually, the amiibo card simply unlocks him right away and he is able to be unlocked without it. Unless that's what you meant and I misunderstood you lol. Aggron pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

 

[Z25]

So I was thinking of how the December event will go down. I have a few different scenarios for it.

1) If this is truly the last time we will see smash DLC( which is possible but we don't have full confirmation yet) then I predict 4 more characters. This is because they could last for a year's worth of DLC. I see 3 being newcomers( possibly 1 more 3rd party) and all being hype 1st party characters. I'm predicting Ridley and K rool because at this point why not? Anything is possible! And the last being wolf as last minute due to fan demand. They all will release after the direct

2) (this is still if it's the last DLC announcement)We get Cloud's release date, and then we get 3 more characters. Again all will somehow destroy expectations yet again, which is good. I still think wolf will be involved. Inklings to possibly. They don't all release at once, instead Cloud releases and the rest are spaced out.

3) If this isn't the last time we see DLC( just the last time we have a smash direct for DLC), then we get 2 characters like Roy and Ryu. My guess is yet again wolf due to fan demand, and someone extremely big. Again I'd choose Ridley or K rool., Sakurai is doing whatever he feels will blow expectations and appease fans. They all are made before the ballot ended, but could be slightly influenced by the ballot. Then we get actual ballot choices over time, because they don't have a set number yet.

All in all, these all will probably take shape somehow in December. This will certainly be one hell of a presentation! I'm really excited to see what happens, even if smash DLC does end. If it ends, Sakurai will end knowing he's created a truly fantastic roster for smash bros and really represented gaming as a whole by the end and made many fans happy!

As for the date for the direct. I predict that it will air December 18th.

Actually, they did!

They mention in the trailer that you can unlock S.Mewtwo in the game without the amiibo.

Oh okay that's pretty cool to hear then

 

[Soul.]

Pokkén still needs my boy Breloom because we need more Grass-type Pokémon.

lol honestly if Breloom isn't in I guess Pikachu exists

 

[AreJay25]

Wait, is base Shadow Mewtwo playable? Or is it just Mega Mewtwo X?

 

[Naoshi]

Wait, is base Shadow Mewtwo playable? Or is it just Mega Mewtwo X?

Base Shadow Mewtwo if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wait, is base Shadow Mewtwo playable? Or is it just Mega Mewtwo X?

Base Shadow who can become playable

 

[Z25]

Base Shadow Mewtwo if I'm not mistaken.

With him having the mega like Lucario probably.

 

[Deleted member]

Uh, no? I am absolutely not defending Lin's attire, I'm talking about the breast slider for the playable avatar.

I heard about the breast slider thing, and it's pretty stupid, but overall I don't care. I'm not bothering with the localized version.

One thing to note however, this is why PC bull**** is ********. Isn't that technically discriminatory toward women of larger breasts who might wanna make an avatar to match their figure?

It reminds me of the whole Dragon's Crown ****storm a while back, with people crying about the Sorceress's bust, saying that it was "unrealistic" only to have girls with large breasts come out and tell them to shut the **** up. Also, Kamitani's response to that Kotaku journalist's rant was priceless.

In that same vein, with PC nonsense, people claiming that Lin has the body of a child (despite her proportions matching those of an adult), isn't that TOO discriminatory toward petite girls with smaller frames and chests? Ergo, most Asian women? Why must we fit everyone into one mold for what is ok, and not. Don't tiny girls already feel bad enough about their "less feminine figures" why rub it in their faces even further.

See, this is why PC culture is ********. Theit own thinking is full of holes.

Anyway, /rant.

 

[Bedoop]

Well
Faith just randomly stomped into the room, ranted about me going to get Cloud a "Stupid waste of Money for something you don't even know about" and then storms out angrily

Uh
