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

[Cutie Gwen]

My heart goes out to you.
However, I argue that Leaf's upgraded guard and uppercut can still perform well enough for bosses...
Though "well enough" doesn't always stand well against Soul bosses.

I just don't like using Leaf, feels too sluggish and the uppercut's pitifully weak from my experience. I beat Dark Meta Knight with no ability and I beat Soul of Sectonia 1 without an ability. I felt heartbroken when I found out Dark Meta Knight's stars didn't give Sword anymore too. After that, I lost half of my health to Kracko, tried again, got decimated by Flowery Woods and don't get me started on that piece of **** Pyribbit

 

[Coricus]

I prefer the mushroom island biome but i also like ice spike plains.

Nether and ender also make interesting biomes

I wanted to make a Zoo Tycoon joke about this because that's where I picked up the term and Minecraft merely expanded it's application to the way I was using it, but then I realized that Minecraft has nearly all of the biomes ZT has and that the ones you listed are way cooler than any of them.

 

[A Distant Demon]

2-I'd like to see some snow based levels(not ice for stupid physics), possibly also with a snowstorm in effect(*hint hint*)
Also, somewhere that has constant rain

So basically Phendrana Drifts and Tallon IV Landing site

Please sakurai, i'm begging you. More Prime stages that aren't just the tutorial area you spend 5 minutes in

 

[Chandeelure]

The stages I want:

-New:
Bowser's Castle
Ganon's Castle
Crocodile Isle
Gangplank Galleon
The Flying Krock
Mt. Dedede
Another Dimension
Eternal Dream Land

-Old:
Fountain of Dreams
Fourside
New Pork City

Honestly, this reminds me of a reason Pyrosphere pisses me off. "I want to include stuff from newer games in the series" That's a fair argument Sakurai said. But why did we get a stage from the most hated Metroid game which also has an unfun gimmick unfitting for a beloved character? New game. Yet Coliseum is the Arena stuff, which wasn't used since Shadow Dragon. And the new Kirby stage was from a game that's about 20 years old. It's bull****, Prime is the best selling game in the entire franchise, yet Other M oh so desperately needed ALL the attention. They didn't even give one of the few good things in Other M a ****ing trophy

And the worst part is that the Other M stage they chose is another thing with lava.

I'm tired of lava for Metroid and jungles for DK!

 

[AlphaSSB]

Alright, lemme ask a two-fer. I think I've asked these questions individually at various points, but now let's ask them one after another.

1. What stages would you like to see in Smash in the future?

and

2. Ignoring your answers to the above, what sort of locales/biomes/types of areas would get you pumped for a fight regardless of what series or game they came from?

1) Bowser's Castle, Gang-Plank Galleon, Ganon's Tower, Literally anywhere on Talon IV, Thorntail Hollow, Distortion World, Inkopolis, Nintendo Floats, and I'm sure I can think of a few more if I put my mind to it.

2) Places with weather effects like snow, rain, sand, etc. Weather just adds a nice touch to stages.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I'm still trying to figure out where that purple ooze on Pyrosphere came from . . .

Arena was in FE12, ya know.
Which came out in 2010.
Infact, just a little over a month before Other M.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Ridley gets beat up so much it might as well be his blood.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm still trying to figure out where that purple ooze on Pyrosphere came from . . .

It came from nowhere. Either that, or Sakurai's going "ooh, purple Phazon! totes Prime gaiz!" which I have a hard time believing

 

[Schnee117]

I'm still trying to figure out where that purple ooze on Pyrosphere came from . . .

Ivan Ooze invaded the Metroid Universe and called Pyrosphere home. He even conjured up his own version of Ridley to guard the place hence the ****ty looking model.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It's sad when a 3DS game from a company most well-known for giving women huge **** had a better Ridley model than a Wii U game

 

[Deleted member]

That's not a very nice way to call Ridley you know...

 

[ChikoLad]

Alright, lemme ask a two-fer. I think I've asked these questions individually at various points, but now let's ask them one after another.

1. What stages would you like to see in Smash in the future?

and

2. Ignoring your answers to the above, what sort of locales/biomes/types of areas would get you pumped for a fight regardless of what series or game they came from?

Question 1:
Something based on the Zelda Wii U overworld
Rosalina's Comet Observatory (assuming they never make it her Final Smash, like it should be)
Bowser's Castle
Sauria (based on the level in Star Fox: Assault)
Sky Sanctuary Zone (I could come up with a whole list of Sonic stages I would like but this is the main one for me)
Destiny Islands (Kingdom Hearts)
Tower of Fate (Shovel Knight)
Glade of Dreams (Rayman)
Ambrosia (Professor Layton)
Oz (Codename STEAM)

Question 2:
My answer isn't necessarily related to Smash, but when it comes to game locations, I tend to really like large, grassy, open plains with a lot in them:

Spoiler

Or European inspired cities:

Spoiler

Space in general (sci-fi/or fantastical - not gonna show pictures since it's fairly self-explanatory)

Sky levels (fairly self-explantory - floating islands, ruins, and airship fleets)

Or ethereal dreamscapes:

Spoiler

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wait, if we're allowed to name old stages for Coricus, Big Blue, Pokefloats and Fourside are stages I'd like to see return

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Alright, lemme ask a two-fer. I think I've asked these questions individually at various points, but now let's ask them one after another.

1. What stages would you like to see in Smash in the future?

BOWSER'S CASTLE?!?

I guess the castle part of the Paper Mario stage might count for something, but really. There are now two Bowser-like characters in Smash (and even more if you count the Koopaling alts)
Why don't they have a home stage? An airship storm stage would also be fitting in addition.

1. Mostly glaring ommisions
   1. Any Bowser stage - Bowser's Castle, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, etc.
   2. A Warioware stage located in Diamond City (and non-gimmicky)
   3. Any K. Rool stage - like Gangplank Galleon.
   4. A Golden Sun stage - like Venus Lighthouse
2. A snowy forest stage, or may be an underwater stage.

Uh oh

Seems like a bad move, especially for those who bought the game but don't currently have it installed.

 

[Opossum]

Stages I want to see in the future?

- Bowser's Castle (and no, that bull**** third part of the Paper Mario stage doesn't count)
- Victory Road
- New York City Bike Route (taking place on a floating platform that follows Doc Louis' bike route in the training scene)
- Koholint Island
- Grima
- The Lady Liberty
- Gluglug Lagoon
- Inkopolis (Touring stage that goes to various maps)

All of which have varying degrees of likelihood, but dammit I want them all.

(Conveniently located by the Source link)

You can still redownload the game. That artcile isn't updated. The source is though. So it isn't that bad.

While the re-download button doesn’t display in the individual listing, you can currently grab the software again by visiting your list of “Redownloadable Software” on 3DS eShop

Wait, why remove THIS? a game that was incredibly well received? Can't be copyright reasons as the 3 companies involved are all good mates with Ninty

 

[ChikoLad]

The dream is dead.

 

[Champ Gold]

Good lord, my friend sent me this and it was so accurate

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The dream is dead.

As someone who likes kickstarters, I ****ing hate these mystery stretch goals

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Hey guys, do you remember the game idea that me and a few people were working on?

Would you be willing to give some money to a kickstarter if it ever happened?

Because people didn't reply before.

 

[FalKoopa]

Because people didn't reply before.

I have no way to pay so I'll be cheering from the sidelines.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Because people didn't reply before.

I would probably embezzle funds . . .so I guess that would be anti-giving?

 

[ChikoLad]

Because people didn't reply before.

No point asking us that now because the whole point of crowdfunding is that you post as well constructed a pitch as possible, and hope people take interest.

Can't back something when I don't know what it is.

But in general, I don't have the money to back another Kickstarter at the current time.

I'd also suggest not just automatically going to Kickstarter, as they take a percent of your funding if it goes through. Research other crowdfunding sites and find the best rates.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Because people didn't reply before.

I'd rather help with the game in itself. Money isn't something I can give easily. >.<

Someone mentioned copyright issues, but Project X Zone 2 is still up.

What the heck is going on?

 

[TheAnvil]

So thanks to Nibroc on twitter I finally got to see what the other members of Star Wolf are wearing.. And I promptly did this:

There are a few differences, I had to improvise again with his lower half so I ket it thematically similar to Wolf, and I made his kneepads derivative of the shoulder pads he has on his coat. I love this design so much. It puts his Assault look to shame (which I have also made a sprite of before).

 

[A Distant Demon]

Xzone may just be UMVC3 DLC all over again

Once the licensing runs out . . .well. Game Over. I would assume Capcom/Sega/Namco would have the business sense to have a contract lasting longer than a few years, but I suppose it is a possibility.

 

[ChikoLad]

Deciding to try wrap up a project, when suddenly...

Ech.

Weren't Shuma Gorath and Jill no longer available after a while?

Band Land (Rayman)
City Escape (Sonic)
Aurum Island (Kid Icarus)
Venom (Star Fox) (not the old stage, a new one)
Inkopolis (Splatoon)

2.) I'm always a fan of grassy stages (Windy Hill, Gaur Plains, etc.)

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Customer brought in a potentially stolen, modified government check of $3,600+ today.

I caught it...mostly because it was obvious.

I don't get how she thought she'd get away with it.

Even if I didn't catch it, someone down the chain would. And her social would be tied to it

JonTron is great and all, but ever since the he started using sets, I've been enjoying his videos less and less. I have a weird feeling against using sets in YouTube videos that I can't really explain.

It's because you're team Cap and not team Spidey

 

[Space Stranger]

It's because you're team Cap and not team Spidey

The only good thing about Iron Man's team is that Black Panther is on it and devoted himself to a secondary role to not make everyone else look like pushovers in tights.

Other than that, Team Cap all the way.
