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

[Coricus]

The Smash 4 "competitive" community is literally dependent on patches. It's literally a patch culture.

They will never stop complaining.

Eh, I can definitely see the problem, but at the same time as someone outside of the competitive loop I feel like this has still been more pleasant than the constant rain of Meta Knight jokes from during prerelease.

Something-something it's better to have patched and endured whining than never to have patched at all.

 

[wedl!!]

It's a known fact that the most optimal punish is to fully charge a smash attack.

The mechanic is silly and Rage is stupid but saying it's nearly impossible to punish is just flat out wrong.

>First row is half "who?" and the other half "this shouldn't be here"
Star is going to kill everyone anyways

Perfect alien child shoots rainbow lazer beams and kills everyone.

Yes.

Let's be real here.

If Star fought Optimus Prime it'd be hype.

Honestly I would rather this game never had major patches outside of actual bug fixes and adding content, over getting far too many patches and killing the competitive spirit and innovation of the community.

Sure the game would be a bit less balanced, but at least I could have more fun and the community would feel more accessible. Missing the latter two defeats the purpose of the former, IMO.

I don't think the mechanic is silly at all, since it's completely fair and you have ample time to react to it. And the rage thing (that one video with Luma KO'ing Bowser at 0%) would never happen in actual practice.

My problem wasn't that he was wrong. My problem was this guy talking to me like he knows what he's talking about. Saying she's nigh unpunishable just because Luma is capable of flailing his stubby arms a little bit is not only a fundamental lack of understanding of basic Smash mechanics, but a fundamental lack of understanding of fighting game and even action game mechanics in general.

The problem with the Smash 4 community, is that they think every match up should play the same. But as soon as a character that encourages a different strategy pops up, suddenly they're like headless chickens playing, and cry for nerfs.

 

[Chandeelure]

Rosalina needs buffs and Luma needs nerfs IMO.

 

[Chrono.]

"Patch Culture" has to be one of the sillier phrases I've heard.

(FTR, I do agree that the whining for patches instead of adapting is getting out of hand)

I use it as a mocking phrase, not a serious one.

To emphasise how reliant on patches the community is getting.

 

[Chandeelure]

Honestly, buffing the soundtrack should be a priority, including music from the new Kirby games and Hyrule Warriors.

EDIT: Miiverse will be temporarily unavailable today... is the patch today?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

More Final Fantasy music, please.

 

[Pazzo.]

More Final Fantasy music, please.

Throw in "One Winged Angel", "J-E-N-O-V-A", and anything from Bravely Default an I'd have a new favorite Omega stage.

 

[Chandeelure]

More Final Fantasy music, please.

And also DK tracks that aren't jungle remixes.

 

[Pazzo.]

Let's be honest though, Kirby has one of the best the best music selections in SSB4.

"Ice Cream Island", "The Great Cave Offensive", "Fountain of Dreams", "Forest/Nature Area" and the returning "The Legendary Air Ride Machine" are excellent.

EDIT: Added "one of the best... selections", to make it sound like I wasn't claiming that Kirby has the best music in SSB4.

Road Taken
Road Taken is the only right choice

I'm more fond of the Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Sonic, and Xenoblade ones myself. Maybe even Fire Emblem despite not playing the series, the Smash remixes for Fire Emblem were amazing this time around, and just the general selection.

The Kirby selection was kinda meh overall to me. A few highlights, but a lot of them blend together.

 

[Schnee117]

More Final Fantasy music, please.

Toss in "Greatest Jubilee" and "You may call me Father" for Umbra Clock Tower.
Guile's theme for Suzaku Castle as well.

Xenoblade doesn't count. Anything from that game is objectionably terrific.

"The Valedictory Elegy" that plays on Gaur Plain is also very good.

 

[ChikoLad]

I honestly don't know what the "Lost Stage" could be but might as well check it out.

 

[Burruni]

The fact that nobody said Battle on the Big Bridge for Midgar proves you all have bad tastes.

("That person's name is..." would be a great song from Bravely though)

 

[AreJay25]

Can't wait for Bayonetta's forward smash to be nerfed.

Oh and Jigglypuff's getting nerfed out of the game.

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Can we just get, like, at least 1 new Sonic remix?

 

[Deleted member]

Did someone say "new Final Fantasy music tracks for Midgar" ?

 

[Aetheri]

We talking music in Smash now?

Gimmie more FFVII, Metroid Prime, XCX, Hyrule Warroirs, Pokemon X/Y/ORAS, Big Top Bop from Tropical Freeze, Destiny Ablaze from Awakening...Gimmie...Gimmie More...MOAR!!!

For those in this thread that play Smash 4 mods, I HIGHLY recommend you block some of Nintendo's URLs.

Maintenance is happening tonight and the last time it took place around this time a 3DS system update was released that patched a couple of exploits. This means it's SUPER likely that a Wii U System Update will be released around a similar timeframe when maintenance occurs here soon. Just giving you guys a heads up.

If you want some information on how to block Nintendo's URLs, you check out this thread right here.

 

[Pazzo.]

Huh, a Game Theory Video I actually finished...!

 

[Deleted member]

Well, this was interesting
[Input GT bashing here]

EDIT: ninja'd, kinda, I guess(?)

 

[ChikoLad]

That Game Theory...

Spoiler

was actually very good for once.

For any of you interested in 3D modeling, you may learn a few terms from it.

Didn't do much for me because I study that stuff but the end discovery was also neat. If a little unsettling.

You can't make this up.

Tetris: The Movie - a surprise hit
Tetris in Space - disappointing but considered OK
Tetris: Pac-Attack - what is even going on in this movie it's just a trip

The epic conclusion to that time when a square block fell on top of the L-block.

I'm saving this in case Meta Knight gets nerfed in the patch.

C'mon man. You just don't get Pac-Attack.
Yellow Ghost was obviously a symbolic reference to the industrialization and cultural imperialism of America. Even the most average Joe could've gotten that.

Thanks to the concert hype and the 55% Amazon Japan download code discount, Tokyo Mirage Sessions sales are boosting in Japan this week. It's currently #2 on the weekly eShop sales over Splatoon (the game is a year old by now) and under Minecraft. On top of that, more reviews of the game are starting to pop up thanks to the concert. Glad that positive WoM is working there, but I doubt it will be that big for the West thanks to censorship rallies.

I'm not sure what songs I'd like for Smash. But we need this in the next game.

Or maybe some tracks that AREN'T from Final Fantasy VII (Square, you disappoint).

No Butter Building Ver.2 mention? You sir have just made a powerful enemy.

Pretty much every series I can name a remix I love this time around except for Metroid. Too bad no Wario or Sonic remixes this time around.

Huh. I didn't think TMS' sales would boost at all. Too bad it's still going to flop in the West.

You've gotta admit, the first version from Brawl was good too

They should have brought back THAT version
