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

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Mario would work because you could just make it have a lot of simple one-off stories focused on different characters. That, and the art style is already primed and ready.

The sad part of the story is that all the past Mario cartoons have never lasted more than a single season, with only 52 Super Show episodes, 26 Super Mario Bros. 3 episodes, and 13 Super Mario World episodes. If those cartoons didn't last very long, I highly doubt that a newer Mario TV series would fare any better.

10K rumor got called out. RIP that rumor


. . .based on the fact you "just got melia" I don't think you realize how long this game is. . .unless you're skipping cutscenes and all sidequests, in which case you're doing it wrong and deserve persecution.

Wouldn't Prison Island be considered halfway through though?
Granted, going from Makna Forest to it takes a long time, especially if you're doing sidequests, but it is stipl relatively close

 

[Frostwraith]

Super Mario Bros. doesn't lend itself well to an animated medium, IMO.

Unless you're basing off the RPGs, which have more story, of course.

Fire Emblem and Xenoblade would work wonders for anime adaptations.

Well, TECHNICALLY each one of those was a continuation of the last from what I understand. Like how Pokemon has different regions as different seasons. Or something. Not sure what to compare it to.

So in that sense you could hypothetically get a new show to stick a bit, it's just that each season would be an adaption of whatever the latest Mario game is.

. . .HOW?

Also define halfway point.

Halfway point to me is finding out the truth about Fiora. I say this because Mechonis is a lot shorter

I skipped all but 3 cutscenes and am doing any sidequests I can find. Beating them is a different story. The next thing you'll say is "You shall pay for your insolence" isn't it? Also my party is 38

Either Prison Island or the Mountain that follows.
However, /just/ getting Melia means that there's still about 4 hours straight, sidequests barred, in that gap.

Close geographically, sure, but the amount of hoops you have to jump through with that island dangling in front of your face certainly makes it FEEL a whole lot longer. . .

Well that seems a little harsh. . .

It could have just as easily been me posting another roster on a whim, so I can't say I feel particularly comfortable or welcome seeing someone get snapped at for it.

At any rate, I'm a little confused as to what that link is useful for, so I'll grab a better one.

It's actually quite useful. Instead of posting his lists and asking for input in un-related threads or on profiles, he cae can make an account there and create his own Smash game article like this:
http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._V

Also, was there like a mass mod exodus or something? I've been out of the loop as my new apartment doesn't have internet set up for another two months but I've noticed a dip in moderator membership in this thread.

You mean the shows that were made when the Mario franchise barely had an identity?

A Mario show would work much better now because they've defined the universe much more at this point. Plus, just make it more akin to Sonic Boom where rather than having a story line, every episode is it's own story. Miyamoto did say Pop-eye is an inspiration to him with Mario, and that's exactly what Pop-eye is.

I mean seriously, Mario is the easiest Nintendo franchise to work with for an episodic show. There is a bottomless pool of stuff to pull from. They can just go nuts with it.

And it seems the Twitter embed didn't put down all of the tweets.

What Tama is talking about is how there was a rumoured "Sonic the Hedgehog: Awakening" title being developed right after Sonic 06, as a sequel to that game. Tama contacted Takashi Iizuka today on Facebook and asked him about it, and completely dodged the question - keeping in mind Iizuka normally has no problem denying rumours.

Spoke with Takashi Iizuka today. This is the one question he's blanked me on.. but in doing so kind of answered it. pic.twitter.com/lbor9RvU32

So.
4/5 bosses into DS3. I put that kinda uncertain number just because of a number of skippable "minibosses" I've gone through feels like a fair amount to kinda balance out.

Only the tutorial boss has taken more then 3 attempts. Which took 8+.
Seriously who QA tested it

1 and 2) It's how the sonic series works by fan bases
3) His psychic powers were as broken as 06 so he tried something new.

I had a dream last night about watching a Star Fox direct this week.

At the end if the direct they focused on Wolf's role in the game.

Then, they said 'speaking of Wolf'.

The Smash logo played.

They announced some random anthromorphic Anteater character which my subconscious made up to have a dream laugh.

It was so ridiculous. This guy could be mistaken for Wolf. I remember my dream self questioning whether it was him or not.

I spend to much time stalking this place.

Unfortunately, Fantendo has some big rules that can really be a monkey wrench for making fan game articles. The biggest rule is "no stealing", and if you're making a Mario Kart article, it's almost impossible to make ideas that have not been used in someone else's Mario Kart fan game.

I've rarely seen that enforced actually. They are referring to copying an entire article and changing a few things here and there to not make it an outright copy in order to minamalize the amount of work you personally put into it. People do actually copy articles and make a new article claiming it's theirs which is when that rule is enforced. Using a particular idea from a pre-existing fan game is usually fine and, it would be best to ask the creator of the original article if the person isn't sure if it's ok or not. Most are usually fine with someone using an idea within thier own game as long as credit is given. That's the same for images and graphics as well. I don't speak on behalf of that community though but I've never seen "stealing" becoming a big enough issue that it prevents people from creating fan game articles.

Summer of Sonic is shaping up to be super interesting.

Spoiler

I already bumped up my reward tier to get that coin. There's only gonna be 45 available so I'm glad I snagged one.

Also, Jun Senoue is already going, but if they can make £25,000, they will be able to get Johnny Gioeli (sp?) to go too, for a proper Crush 40 performance. If they hints are anything to go by.

Here's where it's currently at. Looks like this stretch goal is a shoe in.

If any of you are within the UK or plan on going to the UK in August and consider yourselves Sonic fans, I highly recommend going. If you can't go, you can still pledge for a t-shirt if you want, too.

EDIT oh god Imgur ****ed up a funny gif. FeelsBadMan




FF8 keeps making me like Squall more and more. Help.


It's also surprisingly gif worthy

 

[Burruni]

So.
HW Peeps.
Question because the gamefaq boards don't quite define things in terms that my puny brain can understand.
A) What does "skill appraisal" even do?
B) The Master Sword's Two skills are listed as "Seal Requires Power of All Weapons" and "Seal Broken By Finding All Plus-Grade Weapons."
As I've gotten every character and all the alternate weapons for Link, Zelda, Impa, Lana, and Dorf.... and in fact the tier 2 for all of these.
Am I expected to get the tier 3 version of all weapons to get the first seal broke?
If so, what the hell is the second seal?

Sorry I'm late, I had other business to attend to. Specifically I was reading the TV Tropes page for Bayonetta in order to get a better understanding of her.

Alright, I guess this is more specific and understandable.

>Ridley isn't there
>A certain someone else is

Welp, time to crack all the Chapter 23 jokes again. Ridley is a stage, indeed.

At any rate, I'm not sure whether or not this is what @QuintonShark8714 was looking for, but if anyone can just upload a game page like this of their own accord, I might have something in mind. Thank you for this, I might be able to experiment with something.

And then link it back here every other day in pride as I work on it, to the chagrin of everyone present.

"Appraise Skill" is for checking the contents of a sealed skill.

As you can see, it doesn't actually unlock the skill, it just shows you what it is, in case you want see whether or not it's worth unlocking.

As for the Master Sword seals, I haven't done those myself, but the second seal is new to Legends.

For the first seal, you need to unlock all tier 3 weapons for every character (just like in the original game). For the second seal, you need to unlock all Level Plus weapons for every character - these are new to Legends, and are weapons that go further beyond Tier 3 weapons.
