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

I love bread. I eat whole wheat bread nearly every day. And because I have an italian mom I love some good Gari bread.

But let's talk about something less bland

What is the best candy and why is it Kit- Kats?

Holy **** Kate Higgins' performance is perfect for me in XCX.Good to see Carina Reeves (Melia) back.

Best chocolate? That's like choosing a favourite child.l

Uh what?
Carina Reeves was Fiora. Jenna Coleman was Melia.

It's controversial only because it's taboo

There is nothing controversial about it UNTIL society puts taboos on it

Not necessarily. Controversy just means that there's an argument about it. Taboo implies that a social standard has been set, but one can argue about things that is not yet a standard. Pornography is simply a secondary result of things that were already controversial or taboo: prostitution, which was already a taboo.

Honestly, it can go either way.

 

[Burb]

Y'know Sakurai, it's almost been 24 hours.
Ever consider actually updating the site with Cloud's fighter page?

----

Lucas' fighter page wasn't up until his release date was announced.

Prior to that, he was only on the DLC page, just like Cloud is now.

The page probably won't be up until we hear the date.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Come to think of it, if we got nothing but third-parties from now on, wouldn't that be weird considering Sakurai implied, when talking about Mega Man, that he was only going to have a limited number of third-party characters.

 

[Frostwraith]

Look at this wonderful list of copyrights.

Characters: © Nintendo / HAL Laboratory, Inc. / Pokémon. / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc. / SHIGESATO ITOI / APE inc. / INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS / SEGA / CAPCOM CO., LTD. / BANDAI NAMCO Games Inc. / MONOLITHSOFT / CAPCOM U.S.A., INC. / SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD.

This is how it looks like for Smash 64:
Character(C): NINTENDO/HAL laboratory,inc./Creatures.inc./GAME FREAK.inc.

This is how it looks like in Melee:
Characters(C)　Nintendo/HAL Laboratory, Inc./Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc./APE inc./INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

And finally, Brawl:
Characters: © Nintendo / HAL Laboratory, Inc. / Pokémon. / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc. / SHIGESATO ITOI / APE Inc. / INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS / Konami Digital Entertainment Co. Ltd. / SEGA

We've come a long way.

I mean, the dude did a complete 180. Now he wants to make the ultimate character fighter.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the next characters are 3rd party.

I'm in Southern California, so the concept of clouds are a foreign concept. Someone explain them to me. I also hear you have showers in the clouds??

That one is all Xiivi

 

[Chrono.]

I'mma be honest if doesn't bring Tifa, Barrett, and Sephiroth with him as Mii costumes I'm gonna wonder what the heck Sakurai is thinking.

Yeah, Aerith is super iconic herself and should get repped as well, but those three literally perfectly represent each Mii Fighter class.

I kinda hope that, if we get FF7 costumes, that they're low-poly in the vein of Akira.

So, these big fluffy things start forming, and then they get sad, and then they cry.

Imagine if we got Snake back

>PSBAS

"We have Lightning and Raiden"

>Smash 4

"We have Cloud and Snake."

 

[Naoshi]

They actually didn't even get Lightning. Rumors that SE wanted Lightning instead of Cloud and Superbot refused. Not sure if this true, I forgot honestly lol

Poor Sony tho

Considering no one's ever found a concrete source on that, I'm confident saying it's all hogwash.

At the same time, it really does not shock me if that actually happened. Given how pushy they were with Lightning lol


Then again, they accepted Donte, Big Daddy, etc

PSABR: Can we please use Cloud, or maybe Larra Croft?

[Radical Bones]

It's hard to know what Sakurai is planning anymore. I don't think that this is ballot DLC.

How many more third parties are coming? Is Cloud the last truly shocking reveal? Why would Smash need its own Direct? New game modes? Huge balance changes? Multiple characters?

 

[Xiivi]

That one is all Xiivi

Actually @Neo Zero and I worked out the categories~ But we can say it's all Xiivi !

How about this for unexpected?
4 characters:

Snake

How would people feel?

I personally think Cloud is our last big third party reveal.

He's the headliner after all.

I remember this art style. It was in a flash game on getting out of jail. There was even a Pheonix Wright parody iirc

December Finale Predictions;

1. 3rd Party "Purple", complete the Smash Rainbow
2. Wolf
3. Ballot Character

And I know I'm gonna be wrong so

See, it's not that people got "butthurt", it's that mot people don't want politics inserted into a discussion where people are trying to enjoy themselves. If your story is true, this point you make and that story reflect your stunning lack of self awareness. Most people in real life don't like pricks trying to shove their social agenda onto them. You're no better than the extreme variety of feminism you happen to crusade against: You cherrypick, you strawman, you do it towards stranger in-real-life who probably didn't deserve it, etc.

Considering all these factors, I won't continue. Not because I'm "Butthurt", but because you're, for lack of a better term, an idiot.

Lol, ok.

I'll just add that to the list of insults thrown my way.

Hyped! This be really good for four more characters.

To be fair, Lara in PSASBR was a matter of timing. They were all open to it, but they wanted the new Tomb Raider to come out first to promote the reboot more, but Superbot couldn't delay.

In other words, if Sony had allowed Superbot to make more DLC, Lara would have been in, no doubt.


...Which it sucks that it didn't pan out; it would have been Lara's fighting game debut.

 

[epicmartin7]

I personally think Cloud is our last big third party reveal.

He's the headliner after all.

You know? I really do find it funny he was just reveal in a Nintendo Direct out of nowhere. You'd think a character of this caliber would be one for a special presentation/E3.

Other than that, this reveal blew my expectations out of the water and really changed up the foundation of Smash Bros for me.

Spoiler

I'm still curious on how people are getting Cloud's stock icon though...

welp, I'm not even done with paper jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-uKgdk-uLk

go to 24:19 until the end.

This time I will write as I post the link because there;s actually a lot.

new dessert music, it does remind me of the SS music, but perhaps less good?

More detailed view of the UI, you can apparently use the touch screen to switch action......THANK GOD YES I AM FREE OF BREAKING MY FREAKING SHOULDER BUTTONS!!!!!!!!

We see hammer, a drill......probably to actualy dig because a bit later in the footage, we see these X mark indication beams?

BEAMS ARE BACK?

And it also has a hand which I believe is the strechy thing where paper mario turns into a whip or something. Also the pause shorcut

the star that appears when you start a battle completely chnaged since E3.

interesting......the guy said he foudn weird about having a baby luuigi in the second m&l game, but here no paper luigi and he asked abotu it and he litterally said right after "but no". guys, this strongly implis paper luigi will not be playable and I don;t even know if it woudl be in the game. To me, this gives paper mario a huge distinction

demo and practice for the duo attacks are back from DT, btw, the bombs derby one is back and is the same as DT. rocket blast is new, but we already saw an image of what it looks like.

trio has demo and practice.

Trio whirling is new btw, I think it has to do with the whip which woudl be freaking awesome

if you have no copy and Paper Mario is idling, e will just folds gently

I was wrong on the sets, each amibos has one set making a total of 6 sets.

We know a bit of the peach set, it has 23 cards and we know 10 of them, no paper peach, which is likely anothe rcard because paper bowser is a card in the bowser set.

bowser set has 23 cards, we know 8 of them and paper bowser is a card.

We know nothing of the toad set so far and if there;s no paper toad, the game is jsut wrong because that's really one of the only nopc in the game (doubts about generic).

FYI, the paper bowser one maxes your paper mario copies and btw, you do loose the turn if you copy which was not the case at E3 making it an interesting strategy option.

We have the pause menu and this actually tels us a lot. First, the world map is as basic as we knew, but there;s something very suspicious, it tells the objective and in thsi case, they were at the dessert and it says find a way in bowser.....and then i can;t read, but we can assume it;s bowser's castle which is strange. Why you woudl ALREADY be on your way there? along with the direct footage of it, I really think something is fishy there.

gear, items, guide and status are back from DT and I think they woudl do the same however......gear.........how can paper mario weras phisical gears? is there gears for him?

What about items? is there paper items?

Woudl really like to see the status page,, we have yet to see the stats.

Collection sounds weird tbh, unless the beams, what is there to collect? toad really arenlt much of a collection......but could be there like the pi'llo and after what? I can;t believe they would just have that lol.

battle cards is to probably to manage your deck.

Amibo is to get to the amibo cards management menu, good thing you can use it at any point if you pause

Says time and coins, like DT

The cards you make has to be saved to the amibo you jsut scannned. This is why they can detect the same cards if you use another amibo and make the card sparkle.

The new card you get might be random, but it always is a new one. This means you would need a set number of ? cards to get the full set.

The soft mario theme music we heard on the direct is the Amibo management music.

That;s it, lots of new stuff actually

Sans Snake, I think Simon Belmont is the last third-party that isn't super-outlandish that could cause a big stir.

He'd be cool to see, but IDK. Cloud could either be a sign of mostly third-party DLC, or he could be the end of it.

Cloud wears purple, tho

Shhhhhh
