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

[Chrono.]

Wasn't Josh like really pissed when Cloud was revealed for Smash or was that still tied to him being upset over being blacklisted?

Might be both, but remember Josh was the one who made the video a while back on worst character choices for Smash DLC and one of them was ""anime"" characters.

 

[Kenith]

What a dumb mentality to have. Sakurai's anti-competitive one that is.

It's not like having a competitive aspect precludes still being able to have a huge casual audience, Smash itself being a prime example. Including a deeper element not everyone is aware of doesn't mitigate the fun of the more surface qualities of Smash. Even if it was formed unintentionally, refusing to foster a dedicated, loyal, and passionate subset of the fanbase simply because it conflicts with an ideology of "how" to enjoy the game treads precariously close to anti-consumerism. And that's coming from someone who doesn't consider herself a "competitive Smasher".

Thankfully Nintendo does seem to be embracing the competitive community more these days.

Only Nintendo of America.
I don't think Nintendo of Japan could care less about competitive Smash.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Half my team in Yokai watch are little girls

The other half are anthros

...

What is wrong with me!?!

 

[N3ON]

I'd take anime-looking characters in Smash over realistic looking characters in Smash any day of the week honestly.

hope for isaac then?

Different situation.

That was him being salty and complaining about the direct and still giving it an 8.5/10 lol

Are you not a snake fan?

Or do you find him on the anime side

 

[Kenith]

Honestly, if we ever got a realistic looking character (and imo, Cloud looks way more "realistic" than "anime") they would probably be made to look less realistic to fit in with the rest.
Jill (who you might be indirectly referring to) has already had this treatment several times, for example.

Well, he certainly didn't in the 90's

NoJ doesn't care but Competitive Smash is different over there than here. It's one of the reasons why FG mode is always in Final Destination mode because all they play on is FD in any Smash game sans 64.

They would actually try to experiment with characters and are destructive with those characters, problem is that the West will still beat them because how seriously we take Smash over here.

Oh right.
That one

Amen sister

 

[Swamp Sensei]

You people liked my 3DS being broken post.

Well **** you too. T.T

Anyone know a way to fix it?

That spiky blond hair tells me otherwise.

Send it to Nintendo.

 

[Kenith]

Yeah, but compare that to how he looks in Advent Children and Smash Bros:

He looks less anime and more like someone cosplaying as anime.
And in Smash he looks halfway between this and the original artwork.

 

[Opossum]

I liked it in the "I acknowledge that this sucks since I've been there" kind of way.

In all honesty, I'm not sure. It sounds like you busted the actual sliding mechanism, which I have no clue how to go about fixing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Do you still have it under warranty?

I don't know how that works without club nintendo but in the old days if it was registered you could just send it in for free

 

[N3ON]

hope for isaac then?

...are you asking me if I hope for Isaac?

Uh, yes, I do. >_>

Are you not a snake fan?

Or do you find him on the anime side

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Snake (though since Cloud I have wished his return as opposed to being apathetic towards it), but he and his series have enough ridiculous, unrealistic aspects to them that it's not a huge clash imo.

What I always found to be the part that stuck out in a much more ugly fashion was the general idea of a Sony-predominant character in a Nintendo-oriented crossover. But I guess I don't really have that complaint anymore haha. ^_^;

and imo, Cloud looks way more "realistic" than "anime"

You see his hair? You see his sword? You see his face? You see his ANGST?

****s straight out of an anime lmao

 

[Kenith]

I don't understand how N3ON can not want realistic characters in Smash Bros. when she's clearly a supporter of Banjo-Kazooie.

Spoiler

I mean, **** it's a real bear.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I've had it for two years, guys.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

1 like=1 prayer for Swamp's 3DS XL

 

[A Distant Demon]

Cloud is the anime swordsman (hate the term anime but whatever). He defined being an anime character for years to come.

If Cloud isn't one, no one is.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I still can't help but childishly giggle at that name...

Spastic penis is a very serious condition and it should not be made fun of.

Doesn't ring a bell...

Spoiler

On a serious note, are you ever going to change your handle? You've been talking about it for months!

Soon, been discussing it a lot lately. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to transition, keep the 8-bit moniker, and not confuse people that know me as Spazzy.

 

[Deleted member]

I've had it for two years, guys.

Still, send it to Nintendo. You'll have to pay for the repairs, but it is the only option I see outside of just living with no working volume slider.

Aka what Banjo threeie is gonna look like in Microsoft's hands.

Eehhhh, things could be worse.... You could be a complete weirdo than me and do stupid things like this daily.

I'm so sorry in advance.....

You people liked my 3DS being broken post.

Well **** you too. T.T

Because, I know that feel. My 3DS last year broke just by sitting there in my backpack. To this day I have no idea what happened, and it annoys me, thus I had to get a new one.
Thus I'm the worst person to give advice.

But we also need someone who can fight bears as well to balance it out

I'm an immature teenage girl, I can't help but go 'teehee penis'

Guys. Do we really need to have this thread locked?

What happened?

I just see people talking about helping out Swamp Sensei

 

[Neo Zero]

Guys. Do we really need to have this thread locked?

Get back to me in about 5 minutes for the thrilling conclusion.

 

[Kenith]

I think he's referring to the image "spam". Which is odd as I only made one joke post...
...
Anyways, who has been playing Rivals of Aether's Early Access? I want to play it but I don't have it yet, mainly because my computer broke down.

 

[Opossum]

Might be a bit of a random thought, but seeing the Luigi's Mansion Arcade machine got me thinking...


...A Zelda game similar to Link's Crossbow Training (or even a full on port) would work really well in arcades, I think. I mean, it's The Legend of Zelda so people playing it really shouldn't be an issue. I'd say it'd be worth a go.

I wish arcades were still a thing...especially where I live there are basically no arcades anymore.
That would be fun, but instead of a port, they should make a new game so they can add Linkle.

Where I live they have these things called arcade-bars

It's like the coolest places ever

One of which is "Gameworks"

2 floors of games, restaurants, bar, etc.

 

[N3ON]

I think I'm just going to call Linkle Rinkuru because Linkle is the kind of name that makes me scrunch my face up.

 

[Shroob]

Every time a new video for this game comes out, I die a bit inside.

Wouldn't Rinkle be better?
tbh I think Linkle's great, though I don't get how 'ermahgerd Linkle is too sexualized' It's just thighs. We see Link's underwear all the time so Linkle's thighs are nothing. It's not like she's wearing heels either

why does this game exist. . .

I'd seriously be down for a legit third person cross bow shooter set in the Zelda universe. Cross Bow Training was a surprising amount of fun.

 

[PushDustIn]

That reminds me, PushDustIn posted a neogaf link about that when talking about how SaltBlock was blacklisted, though I didn't see anything about Saltblock. Push is anti-kotaku confirmed. I'm so proud of you son Q.Q

Nah, I don't hate Kotaku, they just do their own thing and that's cool (I don't read them though).

You are better off doing it as soon as possible. For the first month or so, just say "I'm ~~~~, formerly known as Spazzy_D". Or just drop the D and become Spazzy. It's up to you but the longer you wait the more troublesome it'll be!
