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

[Kenith]

We don't know how many characters are going to get in from the ballot. People need to stop saying "getting only one isn't gonna happen/it's not a contest" (and vice versa if there are others doing otherwise) definitively when there's no way of knowing for sure. Hell, I personally only think we're getting one. Doesn't make me wrong. Someone else doesn't think we're getting one, and thinks two or three? That's fine too.


People need to stop acting like it was confirmed there won't be a "winner" or that more than one will definitely be chosen. It's gotten really annoying. :/

No, they didn't confirm there will be more than one character chosen "from" the Ballot.
But they didn't confirm there will be any characters [chosen] from it, and they DID say it might used for future Smash games.

All of that paints it as something other than a contest, but rather just a gauge of popularity for Nintendo to use, and if it's not a contest, but technicality, there can't be a winner.

I am positive Cloud's inclusion was made easier by the Fighter Ballot, but I really doubt he "won" it. Especially considering there's evidence of two more characters after him.

The entire soundtrack is just

I've been saving about half the soundtrack for the full game, but I get too addicted to listening to them. Even the songs I was kinda 50-50 on in the beginning have grown on me immensely.

Sawano soundtracks are addicting, period. The man is a master at creating memorable music.

I've mixed XCX music with music from the anime I've mentioned above into a playlist. The result? Pure awesomeness.

Some of my favorite anime songs by him:
- Attack on Titan: The Reluctant Heroes, Call your name, ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn
- Kill la Kill: 鬼龍G@キLL, Blumenkranz, I want to know
- Nanatsu no Taizai: Perfect Time, 銅鑼Gong4N
- Aldnoah.Zero: aLIEz, A/Z, &Z, BRE@TH//LESS, MKAlieZ, Keep on keeping on
- Blue Exorcist: X, Me & Creed, Battle Scars, BLUE, eXORCiST, Call me later
- Guilty Crown: Bios, Omega, Hill of Sorrow
- Owari no Seraph: X.U., scaPEGoat, SOTE, 108

And yes, some of his song titles can be quite weird and seemingly nonsensical (they're just convoluted puns involving kanji and English wordplay simultaneously), which is why I took some time to write this post.

 

[Deleted member]

ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn

What language and how do I read it?

 

[Frostwraith]

What language and how do I read it?

It's "Attack on Titan" written using IPA phonetics (thus pronounced just like in English) with the o replaced by a 0. No kidding.

This song is 5 minutes of epicness nonstop.

It's hard to make a top 10 music DLC wishlist for Smash Bros to me since there's too many songs I'd want. If we ever get a Sonic DLC stage though (which is super unlikely), I would love it to contain classic songs because they barely exist in the base game.

Seriously, outside of Green Hill and Angel Island where are the other classic era songs? For a franchise that relies on vocal themes so much for Smash stages, Sonic Boom (US CD Theme) is missing and so is Super Sonic Racing. What is even this?

かなり難しいご要望に応えたつもりですが、いかがでしょう?

In both cases, he uses "要望". The first tweet is asking people to request characters on the website.
The second tweet is saying that Cloud was a difficult request.

要望 can also be translated as "demand for". If you want to see examples of how it's used, then click here.

MaskedMan, Soma and I are all in an agreement that "request" = requested by the ballot.

Sure, we could be wrong and it's not 110% confirmed...but this coupled with the Lucas, Roy, Ryu line:


It's very, very likely that Cloud will be considered a ballot character.

I have 0 belief that a character with virtually no campaign for this ballot was chosen. Also given the fact that hes nearly complete, that would mean he had to have been chosen right as the poll launched. There's just nothing logical that suggests Cloud is a ballot choice, and if he was, then this ballot was a sham since he was chosen from the start.

Yeah, Brawl found a good balance between Classic and Modern, but 4 Really plays up all the vocal themes from the past decade.

Like, I love City Escape, really guys... but we don't need 2 SA2 songs and I can't say it's particularly fitting for battle.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Sonic tracks eh? I still want Stardust Speedway

 

[Z25]

That's because it specifically stated to only list characters from the same series, not company. Dig Dug isn't a Pac-Man character.

Oh, I thought other series's counted to. Then Mrs. Pacman would be the only option, so why make pacman feel sad that he can't get a second rep?
Although Mrs. Pacman could become a semi clone if done right.

And the pokken list is huge,I wouldn't even know where to start there!

And the Paper Jam costume in Mario Maker is nice!

 

[Kenith]

Before we get some classic Sonic music, how about some REMIXED classic Sonic remixes?
Seriously, even when he first joined, Sonic got a mere 1 remix.

Like, a Sonic 1, 2, or 3 Medley would be amazing.

 

[Geno Boost]

Whatever happend to smashified? It's been a couple of months since they smashifed something, Did they lost interest on doing more?

I can already taste Jun Senoue doing Metropolis Zone...Sonic's got less remixes than the bland selection of Street Fighter music, that at the very least had 2 remixes!

How about a new remixed Sonic Song PERIOD?

More than a year after Smash U came out and no new Sonic compositions STILL bothers me. Not like Jun and company have been too busy as of late :V

Plus Sonic 1 and 2 is rough territory for remixes, since Sega has to pay a pretty hefty fee to remix songs from Nakamura. And 3 is rough territory because of MJ....

There's just no winning lmao

 

[Strofirko]

How a about a NEW GOOD sonic game first?

The end of the ballot and Cloud's reveal have turned the attention of the fanbase elsewhere for now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I just heard Necalli's voice in SFV. I don't like it, especially considering Kars getting a great English voice

 

[NintenZ]

So what would everyone think of Xenoblade Amiibo?

Well now that's just asking a bit too much, don't you think?
