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

[Kenith]

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

Even as a fan of the character I'm inclined to agree.
There has to be a name they could have chosen that would be less awkward.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

drop the D

Dammit I'm imagining the police bursting into a place where a porno is being filmed 'DROP THE D!'

>excessive use of Onii chan
>baka
>multiple outfit changes

why does this game exist. . .

At least the Onii-chan part will likely get cut in localization, as the same thing happens in Shadow Dragon.

You can change your name if you like but I'm still going to refer to you by how I knew you before.


omg I'm transphobic

For a second I thought you were a blonde bubbleheaded bimbo. Jokes on me, you're not blonde then
In all seriousness, I think there's a big difference between the two situations

Just breath, Radical.

Are you telling me there's a difference between internal struggles regarding gender identity and me making a joke about changing a username on a forum?

I don't believe you.

(though to be serious and to prevent derailing the thread for the sake of my dumb joke... and then my second dumb joke, yeah of course there's a difference)

 

[TipperTheScales]

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.

Hi

Still trying to figure out whether I play Wrastor or Forsburn better, which is damn difficult because most of the times go online I either get bodied completely or the other party d/cs because I'm in AUS or because they don't want to put up with smog >.>

LOL DW IT'S BROKEN AGAIN.

No Internet browser will work. Finder keeps crashing... back up and maybe get a new one...

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

Remember when Tiki was cool?

Ah, I see what the problem is, but you're not going to like it...

This laptop has an apple logo on it and is too expensive.

Enjoy that name change bud.

Speaking of SMTxFE, Famitsu recently revealed the promotions for the Mirages. Some of them look interesting, though I have to say...

Overlord Chrom took too many cues from Shadow.

>excessive use of Onii chan

To be fair, the Oni-chan thing is a trait of the original Tiki, she even drops it at times in the Japanese version of Awakening (Mar-Mar for localization).

Having said that, I could do without the addition of "Baka" (which Tiki wouldn't say to Marth) and the outfit changes...

What are the other ones? I want to salvage #FE's Virion.

So if there is an Ultra Smash Bros for the NX it'd need at the very least

All DLC characters (7 of them by best estimate)
Custom moves for all DLC characters
Expand representation of DLC series to be on par with on disc ones (more trophies, assist trophy ect)
A new mode to take advantage of the NX's unique features, whatever they may be.

Gravy would be

The Return of the Ice Climbers & a stage
HD Smash Run (if the NX is a portable/home hybrid it'd make sense)
A proper Melee style intro

Mhh... assuming that the extra controller feature is something small likr scrolling shoulder buttons, which might not affect actual gameplay much, I could also say that we'd need a good amount more than this to justify another 60 dollar game on a unique system. In my opinion, they need to make the smash world a little more cogent and interesting. Sure, it's a little cool that there isn't a story now, so we can kinda make it all up, but yeah, no. An official story would be great. Also is it me or did they completely drop the idea of fighters bein turned into trophies when they're defeated? The only thing reallyclose we have to a story in this game is the boss fights.

Chrom...have a Snickers.

Tiki was cool?

I just...don't get it. You go from her being an awesome character in Awakening, slightly-but-innocently childish voice-of-the-goddess who wants to be among the people while also having lost all of those dear to her thousands of years prior, to...#FE's version.


#FE just kind of makes me sad.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's been almost a month since I started my "budget" thing

For most of it I did good

But, recently...

Basically overall I'd say my budget was a failure.

While I did spend around $10 a day only on food...It's was over by $0.16

and I spend ~$9.00 on stuff other than food.

 

[Shroob]

Damn ya'll, wish I could change my name.

K then. Just gonna go preach a sermon now.

Seeing all this blue and name changes makes me feel poor

So
"This is who I am!"
Chrom is trying really hard to be all that edgy lol
Also, smth smth Kill la KillXSonic Adventure 2XFire Emblem

Finally gathered all you can, eh? Took you long enough.

I don't know how I'd feel about being just 'Radical'.

I don't see #FE being a success outside of Japan. The weebs will like it, though.

Being a FE fan and having done research on the SMT series at the time of the first teaser, I was expecting something darker.

To its credit, it does have some interesting ideas such as being able to travelling between modern day Tokyo (SMT) and the fantasy world (FE). The whole idol and cutesy moe stuff is completely out of place, though.

I think #FE is a lot of wasted potential. Other Nintendo collaborations such as Pokkén Tournament, Hyrule Warriors and Pokémon Conquest did a lot better at combining two unrelated IPs into something interesting that appeals to those familiar with either or both IPs.

I don't see #FE appealing to either SMT or FE fans. Both fanbases have shown dislike for the game. On its own, however, it may have merit, but as something first advertised as a crossover between those franchises, it's really off-putting.

I was willing to defend the game when the first trailer came and was looking forward to further developments, but now, that hype is gone, because I really don't like the direction the game went.

Can we even call it a SMT game anymore? It's WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more Persona than an actual SMT game.

 

[Parallel_Falchion]

You people liked my 3DS being broken post.

Well **** you too. T.T

Anyone know a way to fix it?

This is why, whenever I see a post that is somehow negative for the poster (i.e. your situation or just someone describing something bad that happened to them), I get wary about dropping a like on it. Does that mean I am supporting them or enjoying their pain?

 

[Frostwraith]

Yeah, it's more Persona than SMT by now, which also contributes to said alienation.

 

[N3ON]

The kind is dissonance you've got here between what people initially envisioned SMTxFE to be vs. the #FE we ended up with is not atypical when a game gets revealed far, far too early.

 

[Deleted member]

Damn ya'll, wish I could change my name.

Prem is really in-expensive. Worth it imo. Look at my big avatar. It's glorious.

 

[FalKoopa]

SMTxFE was doomed to be a divisie once they decided on that direction.

I guess it might be popular with people into J-pop, they're a very small minority in the west. Not even all anime fans are that much into J-pop stuff.

Meanwhile, it's Zangief time.

I'd be hard pressed to think that this is a not a villain. The almost over-the-top edginess, the hidden face and glowing eye and his red demonic arm. He looks almost like Ganondorf from far.

Hmm... If we go on the assumption that the NX is backwards compatable with either 3DS or WiiU games, Cloud is the same price as Ryu and using the American DLC prices with the .99 rounded up:

Current DLC characters+Packaged stages: $18 ($24 with Cloud)
Minimum total DLC character prices: $32
Maximum Total DLC Chracter Prices: $36
Likely Total yadda yadda: $34

Current cost of stand alone DLC Stages (including pirate ship): $10.50

So let's say $44.50, already having an advantage over the 3DS version. For it to be worthwhile over the WiiU version it'd need an additional $15.50 worth of content. Of course that's moot for those that have bought all the DLC and for it be worth buying an NX for it'd need at least $200 worth

 

[Deleted member]

Just make the Gamecube controller the main NX controller, except it has Select, ZL, Left Thumb Stick Button, Right Thumb Stick Button, and the C-Stick is the size of a regular Analog Stick. Also increase the size of the D-Pad and make the Analog Sticks the same texture as the Wii U Game Pad's.

So it seemed that it was Google Chrome that was effing up my laptop. Never experienced anything like it, but after deleting all my preference the ****storm stopped.

Even so, I still need a new laptop. The broken fan gets the latop up to 50C degrees.
