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

[LIQUID12A]

Here's the fruit of my Badge Arcade labor.

Honestly, if there's ever a Metroid set of badges and it has Sylux then I will gladly purchase plays. For now, I'm content with the free plays given through the training module.

I saw people complain about the strip skill in Fates. Did you forget Awakening did dumb stuff like this?

Not to mention Lissa's party hat
And Frost, you know you forget the characters in Kill la Kill were naked after a few episodes

All of those things, however, were optional DLC. That and the beach theme song itself is glorious.

I'll say that those DLC maps were stupid too, but at least had the decency of being optional DLC.

More of the same old otaku pandering stuff the Fire Emblem series doesn't need to have (neither does any good anime/manga/Japanese videogame). Of course, now that they got that audience, they'll want to keep that stuff in future games.

I get that the series was saved thanks to Awakening, but I feel it also alienates fans of the older games. It's unfortunate, but business is business. Between no Fire Emblem at all or pandering-ridden Fire Emblem, I'd guess the latter is better than the former.

Of course, I can also say that this otaku pandering fad that is omnipresent in Japanese media nowadays will eventually die out. Saturation is very much a thing, after all.

Nice K.Rool site pic... It's really easy to make this and it's nice after all.
But after the storm that Cloud made... I can't believe in K.Rool, or Dixie anymore.
Nintendo secondary characters are doomed. I will finally change my signature.

Let's get both Ryus in Smash.

I think you're forgetting someone

Spoiler: and the different versions of that someone

Pokemon fan games have gotten point where google translate is now teaching me german so I can play an awesome fangame. Is this bad?

FE has always been anime
It just keeps up with the time, and since newer anime have more and more fanservice, well, it has to be one of the kool quids

It's funny how people say that Smash has all the big names in Japan's Third party gaming like Namco, Capcom, Sega and Square but forgot one more sans Konami:

Spoiler

Fatal Frame, Hyrule Warriors and (unfortunately) Other M says hi

We ain't done yet

Something something Atlus

 

[NintenZ]

I'm currently playing the cutest game in existence.

I don't think there's anything that can top this in terms of pure adorableness.

Atlus is Sega. It's like saying Enix or Hudson don't have reps.

I wonder what Sakurai will state when talking about Cloud in the December Presentation?

 

[NintenZ]

I wonder what Sakurai will state when talking about Cloud in the December Presentation?

Probably how he's an industry icon or something.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Man i want this the rest of this month to go past quick so we can get to that presentation.But at the same dont because November is my favorite month

 

[Chrono.]

I wonder what Sakurai will state when talking about Cloud in the December Presentation?

"Never ask me for anything again."

Spoiler: So I heard we were posting Home Menus

Alrighty then

Gimme a G! Gimme an E! Gimme the rest of the letters! What's that spell? Who cares! I am the superior! I am the crane!

We're showcasing badges? Well here's mine:

What we have here is a cult, a Mario cult. One for the great god "Kooplanis Magicana" as shown by the symbols surrounding his picture. Now for many this would be a horrid occasion. "Sacrifice?! What horror!" But not these members. As they are fully aware the only way to Heaven is through a human soul, much like how we drive cars.

And Mario seems to be completely okay with it, so it must be a-okay. Though looking at him a bit further he seems to be still and hollow. Either meaning that he finds this to be a horrible event, or maybe perhaps he's next in line to be offered.

But enough about the plumber, what about the mole? A shame really. His soul was corrupted after he denied the faith. And that's not good in the long run. Ergo, he was the one to go. Not that he minds. He looks like he's having the time of his life. I'm sure right now he's yelling "I can't wait to die!" all the while screaming and regretting life choices as the lava burns him to his core.

Not that Chompius minds, being in his executing boot and all. But he seems to be the only one. I'd assume a prestigious cult like this would at least go through the effort of having matching outfits.
"It's a shame no one else brought their boot!" Chompius thought, knowing full well he sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe next time everyone will get the memo and he won't be as lonely. But I doubt it.

As you can see on the far left they've already gotten to one victim; being held in a box overlooked by Bombius. You wouldn't want corpses to ruin the fun after all, they can be quite nasty when pissed off. But it does beg the question: Why sacrifice one, or two (counting Mario) more? Shouldn't one soul be enough? "There should be enough seats!" One would think. But maybe it was the wrong model; maybe his soul was that of a Cube car. And who would want to drive in that? Maybe this time they'll get a Hummer! Or a Toyota!

 

[N3ON]

"Never ask me for anything again."

Sakurai's catchphrase is quickly becoming something he never actually said. xD

 

[BluePikmin11]

The more I learn about Yo-kai Watch's mechanics/attitudes, the more I regret not taking advantage of attitude to maximize my stats. I may have to restart with a new file at some point if I want to play competitively. Thank goodness for three files.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

I just got the coolest book, William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, A New Hope.

It's the original Star Wars written as a Shakespeare play.

 

[Bedoop]

I love you!

And I hate YOU for being so angry about the ESRB Leak way back when!
You are going to praise Dr. Mario and you're gonna like it, good sir!
<3

the hate part is a joke
the rest of it isn't
because that'd be inconsistent with ALL other Smash Games​

 

[BluePikmin11]

Now I'm absolutely hyped for YW2 and can't wait to play online.
BRB, I'll be editing the OP for this competitive stuff.

Atlus was bought by Sega, yes
But they still do pretty much everything on their own
And I didn't see Sega credited in any of their recent games

 

[Wario Bros.]

So I heard that neither Xander Mobus or Cloud's English voice actor knew Cloud was in Smash until his reveal.

I'm aware that voice acting is one of the last things done in making a Smash game but Cloud actor surprises me more.

I saw that in a bookstore once (hurray for reading!) and thought it was pretty interesting.

Point still stands, and even so, they were never that big of a company. It's why they were bought out in the first place.

Not to say I wouldn't like an Atlas rep (or a Hudson or Enix rep). If they were still independent I would put them on the next tier of Japanese devs along with Level 5. Fairly important, but not really a giant in the industry.

Still, judging by how much Smash has been leaked I'm not surprised they're being a bit more tight-lipped.

I had a dream that Cloud's amiibo was Best Buy exclusive.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Is there a way I can make tables in Smashboards?
I've seen some people able to make ones but I don't know which button it is.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Why hasn't the Nintendo or Smash Bros youtube channel put up Cloud's trailer yet?

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I guess it's best you buy him from there.

They have, it's just unlisted.

Check the movie list on the official website.

Honestly, if the story and gameplay is good I couldn't give less of a **** about fanservice.

"No. But it has nothing to do with fanservice."

It's late though. I may post it later so that more people see.

I voted for the fifth option.

I really don't see the point of fanservice outside of making said character more "sexually attractive". If anything, these are turn-offs and there are better ways to make characters more attractive.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

I had a dream last night. In it, the December Direct was going on, and Sakurai said that Cloud was actually a joke and Black Mage instead was in Smash. It was a great dream.
