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

[Spazzy_D]

Soooo... what happens in the event that Cloud isn't or is a ballot character? What then?

Doesn't matter. I'm thinking all the remaining DLC will be revealed during the December Smash Direct, so by the time we know it won't really matter for speculation purposes.

 

[ChikoLad]

The main things I want to see in terms of modes and features that I think are reasonable are online co-op modes (like being able to play Classic Mode online for example), and being able to take your Amiibos online, and having Special Smash online (this one there is no excuse for as there is a bug in the game that already lets you do this).

Also they should add Special Smash to the 3DS version in general since the Sound Test still has that announcer sound effect for it and that irritates me.

I also still want to see some alternate costumes too, but I don't hold much hope for that.

My hometown is like a Winter Wonderland right now. It's crazy by how much Snow is on the ground right now .

I guess one thing I loved about Cloud is that he got people's minds open a bit.

I wish a character like C. Falcon(Completely new moveset and contrays canon personality.) would get in just to open their minds up even more.

I get that the develpor's current feelings can dictate whether or not a character gets in but that doesn't mean that they are neccessarily impossible.

Whether or not Ridley looks silly in there is entirely subjective. There are people that think he'll look great regardless, and there are people that think he will suck regardless. Simple bias.

 

[Dravidian]

Soooo... what happens in the event that Cloud isn't or is a ballot character? What then?

Nothing happens.

We're getting X amount of characters.
If Cloud is a ballot character, then we're (probably) getting X ballot characters.
If Cloud is preballot then we're getting X-1 ballot characters.

Either way we get X characters. People are just arguing semantics and hypothetical situations when in fact we know **** about **** and we're all just waiting for something to happen.

 

[Chrono.]

I just want a Xenoblade X stage for the music.

But seeing as the remaining stages will likely be tied to the rest of the characters...

Ridley talk? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah
*cough* sorry

Spoiler

hahahahahahahahahahah

No, but seriously, he can't die in Metroid, he won't ****ing die in the Pyrosphere stage and he still won't die in Smash speculation
He really deserves the title of The Cunning God of Death

Why don't we talk about potential music that will come in the stages with the other new characters? FF music has been discussed battle to the death, so why not some other potential series?
Like one that is the Wii U's masterpiece and has tracks like Intertwined and Vorkken's Final Stand
Music names don't allow me to be subtle

I was listening to this when I read this post. I voted for Sora.

So yeah I'd like this song.

Pipedream boyz

I'd ****ing love that, though realistically we are probably getting a new Xenoblade character next game considering that Monolith is already working on the third one.

 

[Bedoop]

what does it mean to be "accurately represented in smash"? Everyone pretty much makes up rules as they go

(And I mean everyone)

If it's true that they're working on another one (I legit have no idea), then I really hope Kojima is on board. It just seems like the type of series he could make even better.

 

[epicmartin7]

You know what would be the most ironic thing to ever happen in Smash History, especially after Cloud's reveal.

Spoiler

This guy gets revealed and kills the hope of a PSASBR sequel from even happening .

Here is the source for anyone wondering.

Takahashi + Kojima plot twists = my poor brain

I want that now.

Well they're definitely working on a new game, though it might not be Xenoblade. That said, as a studio they've earned my respect and I expect their next project to be the milkshake that brings all the boys (and some girls) to the yard.

Ooh thanks I was looking for that song. Super nostalgic for some reason.

Because my music playlist isn't long enough. . .


As for my music choices for stages, Vorken's battle would be a must with Red. That song is amazing. too bad every extended version has been deleted

Let's see. . what else is there
I really dont care for many new 1st party franchises other than W101 sooooooo 3rd party it is

(linked because rules)
Banjo
Banjo 2

(no AA1 objection because that would be boring)
Phoenix
Phoenix 2
Phoenix 3

Sora
Sora 2
Sora 3


And the best of the best
Agnes
Edea
Agnes 2
Edea 2


and another song that is too good for smash (too long as well)
because Bravely music is that good

Spoiler: and one last impossibility

Ajna

too bad none of them will be in the game :')

 

[ChikoLad]

He's never gonna make it in, but I'm a big fan of Rodea: The Sky Soldier (Wii version - the other versions are TERRIBLE...currently trying to slog through the Wii U version), so if he were in Smash and we got music from the game or something, these songs would be great.

Who do you think are the top three for the "Who is an All Star?" poll? We currently have 120 responses. I'll give an Internet cookie to the person that is the closest. Deadline one hour.

Snake

I dont agree with them being the top 3 allstars but im suspecting a hint of bias

(im more interested in the bottom scores TBH)

If Zael gets in, this song should be as well. A shortened variation of this song should be his victory fanfare.

If Simon Belmont gets in, then I'd be surprised if "Vampire Killer", "Bloody Tears", "Beginning" and "Simon's Theme" aren't included. Other classic Castlevania songs such as "Wicked Child", "Heart of Fire", "Mad Forest", "Clockwork", "Aquarius", "Cross Your Heart", "Divine Bloodlines", "Slash", "Cross Fear", "Reincarnated Soul", and "Iron Blue Intention" would be great additions as well. Obviously this would be Simon's victory fanfare.

 

[PushDustIn]

This is just an exercise in how well you think you know the Smash community. It shouldn't reflect your personal opinion of the characters.

 

[Parallel_Falchion]

All the straw-grasping, my god. When will people learn that the most obvious conclusion is usually the correct one? Or is it just new people every time?

I've been guilty of it myself, I fell for all the Ridley shadow theories last year, and it was only later that I realized how completely ridiculous it all was. I'm not making that mistake again.

 

[Solfiner]

Snake, Rayman and Master Chief are the three I think.

To be honest, throughout these days I've been more and more questioning what the hell is an all star in the first place. Like, it feels less like a term to define an iconic character and more just a golden calf to scapegoat with.

Don't like Master Chief? Well he's an all-star so your argument is terrible.
Don't like Shovel Knight? Well he's a new all-star so your argument is invalid.
Don't like Ridley? Well he's an all-star so screw you.

It's up there with "iconic" and "relevant" of words that have lost their meaning.

 

[ChikoLad]

Oh crap I think I misunderstood that last page.

I put in three characters that I thought were All-Stars that weren't on the list, thinking that I was adding a suggestion or something?

I'm a dummy.

 

[Soul.]

I'm not sure as to why are we even discussing Cloud's status; November is almost over. We'll know if he's Ballot or not pretty soon lol.

If we're talking about stages I still need this thing on 3DS. Why isn't it in already.

Also, we need Mystery Dungeon songs in Smash.

Hey, same here, been here for awhile. But the obvious choice isn't always the correct one.

That's definitely a valid point. I'd also add "deserve" to those list of words.

I'd rather get a Donkey Kong or Star Fox stage on 3DS, to be honest.

 

[Soul.]

I only really want Smashville on 3DS because Tortimer Island is just meh.
That, and maybe a bit of "Well Wild World was on DS and Smashville is based on that game"

To be honest it's kinda dull, and there's already a 3DS AC stage.

 

[Spikeez]

Does anyone here have hopes for a SNK character joining Smash 4? I would love to see a Metal Slug character and KoF Mii Costumes.

 

[ChikoLad]

Anyway in terms of what I think the Smash community thinks is most iconic, I think it's probably Banjo-Kazooie, Snake, and maybe Rayman.

I kinda wanna say Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman because they are easily the most iconic characters on that list and I want to think people realise that. Especially Tails, it's pretty much impossible to know Sonic and not know Tails, since Tails is always with Sonic.

 

[PushDustIn]

No one has guessed it correctly so far. Snake is #1 though.

Oh, I wish... That's a pipedream for me, consirending SNK's current finicial state...(And KoF 14, sadly, shows it.)

I really wish there were tiers of recognizance:

• Core -Well known among most core gamers
• Casual - Even casuals recognize them
• World - dont need to be a gamer to know

Anyway I'm just gonna go with casual recognition.
