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

[PsychoIncarnate]

I like the general concept Super Princess Peach as far as flipping the damsel trope on its head but it ended up being a bit too on the nose for me to enjoy.

I have to imagine the brainstorming session for that game went pretty much like this.

Peach -> woman -> emotions -> done.

I'm not usually one to unnecessarily involve the topics of sexism in video games, and I don't wish to have this thread devolve back into that kind of discussion, but SPP still comes off a bit insulting. Like Peach finally gets her own game as protagonist, and making her emotionally unstable is the best they could do.

Also having to collect all the Toads in that game before getting to fight Bowser was silly.

The Vibe Scepter is pretty funny though. Subtle Nintendo.

I thought it was still pretty fun

I found the whole thing completely sexist though and couldn't believe it existed

I just...

If you lead with Cloud Strife obliterating everyone's minds.

If he's the appetizer? What do you suppose is the main course?

If you start with fresh lobster imported from Maine? What's next?

Banjo and kazooie.Literally the only character that can top cloud is Banjo and kazooie.I never even played there games and that's what i believe.Like Banjo if cloud didn't already would destroy the little speculation we have left

Serious answer?

No one is supposed to outdo Cloud.

He's the headliner.

I expect the other characters to not be as big of a deal.

 

[Solfiner]

You top Cloud with Lightning.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm curious.

PushDustIn

What is Cloud saying in his trailer?

I 100% agree with this. I believe Cloud was the hook to get people not that into Smash to tune into the Direct. The other characters who will be revealed won't even be a fraction as huge as Cloud.

Isn't it subtitled in English?

 

[A Distant Demon]

I really wonder how many people are legitimately supporting Master Chief now. . .im seeing his name brought up (seemingly without sarcasm) a lot now.

I think maybe one too many Limit's were broken.
And I say this as a supporter of him.


Although maybe in a month everyone will stop bringing him up. That seems like a logical ending.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Isn't it subtitled in English?

It is.

But I wanted to know if maybe any context was lost in translation.

 

[PushDustIn]

Not that I'm aware of. The delivery is amazing, the voice actor did such a good job!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You're joking

I couldn't understand a single thing he said!

 

[Z25]

I wouldn't be to surprised if cloud is just to lure people into the presentation and is the big reveal, but I have a feeling he is indeed just the appetizer and that the main course who have some strong 1st party representation( whether it be wolf and newcomers or just wolf) and maybe 1 more shocking 3rd party; who at this point I'd say Banjo or Crash could work well, with Banjo more likely due to more support in the ballot( although I'd want Crash more even though Banjo is still really good).

 

[Ivander]

I think that also depends on which characters are revealed. I mean, none of the 3rd Party characters revealed were ever in a little light. Every 3rd Party reveal was huge in one way or another.

-Snake for being the 1st 3rd Party to enter Smash Bros and for being a real unexpected character. Also, because it was Snake.
-Sonic for simply being Sonic, the one that everybody wanted in to be able to fight with and against Mario, since Nintendo vs Sega was still a fresh memory.
-Megaman for being revealed as the 1st 3rd party for Smash 4, for being the 2nd 3rd Party character that people really wanted in Brawl, yet didn't appear and for appearing in a time where Megaman was being neglected by Capcom and everybody was wanting him to come back with a bang. Not to mention the amount of people practically going nuts for him using his Final Smash during the Championship.
-Pac-Man for being Pac-Man, a gaming legend and for appearing alongside other fellow gaming legends Mario, Sonic and Megaman. Also, people were happy it was Pac-Man with his World design rather than Ghostly Adventures.
-Ryu for being Ryu and for really blowing people away with his moveset. I mean, even when he was leaked, it didn't stop all of the hype from not happening, especially when we got to see how he would play.
-And Cloud for being Cloud and unlike Ryu, he was not leaked and no one saw him coming, so like Snake, he was a real unexpected character. Also, I'm sure Link Vs Cloud is still a thing.

Really, even if a couple of them were shoo-ins, it didn't stop them from being huge when they were revealed. So if another 3rd Party was revealed, it will be huge. Might not be as big as Cloud, but depending on the character, it could be pretty close. Nintendo characters, yeah. Wouldn't even compare. King K. Rool, maybe. But the only Nintendo character I could ever see being as big as Cloud would be Ridley.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Even if Cloud had been leaked, I would have thought the thought was full of crap

I think he's the main course and the broadcast will be desserts.
It's a delicious dessert - you'll definitely want to dig in right away once you see it.

 

[Shroob]

Funny, that Cloud actually WAS leaked, twice, hours and in one case an entire DAY before the Direct, and no one believed either.

 

[aldelaro5]

......why UK

first the release date, now this:

why you must make me so jealous

 

[Kenith]

I bet people thought those leakers had their head in the clouds.
I'm sure it caused a lot of strife when he was actually confirmed.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That moment you run into a rare yokai, feed it it's favorite food, have Casunova

And the music continues after the EXP screen...

Only for one of the none rare yokai it was with want to join you instead...

I don't know why yuffie like making such puns but after have red this post I'm finding it hard to barret.

 

[Shroob]

Ya know, I wonder if they cut Shiva out of the summons rotation in Midgar due to her not wearing much in the likes of clothing.

 

[Deleted member]

I understand the sentiment, but let's be real. We have Samus and her perfect and large rear with her skin tight suit and large breasts in the game. Shiva isn't really doing anything much worse.

You heard him, folks.
The broadcast is nothing but free clones.

And yet they cut the Tharja trophy for showing her booty.

As I've made abundantly clear, I would love this.

And so would you.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Aw...but I summoned everything I had to make those puns and---
You know what, nevermind. I don't even Final Fantasy so I think I've reached my limit with the puns. I'll take a break now.

You can stick guns in any game E10 and up but if you want to have an completely uncensored natural human body the game will be rated AO. Because of the human organ known as skin. I mean if the body didn't have skin it'd probably only be rated M. Maybe even T.

Society is ****ed. >_<

You don't understand.

It's that darn sexiness!

How can I play video games if I'm distracted by slightly attractive people with normal proportions showing off a bit of skin for often not sexual reasons.

It's distracting!

Especially if this track comes with him.

Better keep your vines in your pants, bro.

 

[powerprotoman]

so gameonion made a mock up of what the 3ds screen will be with cloud

this means 5 more characters are 100% feesable (read 2 additional pre-ballot along with cloud if hes pre-ballot and 3 ballot reps)

we are in dethcon-5 levels of baseless speculation now

 

[Kenith]

I thought it was established that we shouldn't ever use the CSS of one of two games to gauge how many characters they'll make.

Especially one that continuously puts Little Mac, R.O.B., and Duck Hunt in the wrong spots.

Pretty sure we'll just get a 2nd page for DLC characters on the 3DS. A button was datamined ages ago.

Puns are just one of those things that come naturally to me. Reading, writing, Aerithmatic, and puns.

If I make more than one consecutive post with puns in it I start to question what I'm doing with my life.

The worst part is the game would still get an AO rating even with ugly naked people.

Oh the humanity!

Good thing we have CSS theories, who knows how many pesky brain cells we'd have saved without them. xP
