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

Honestly, my only complaint with X so far is that I can't use the analog stick to move menu cursors. Unless there is an option for it I don't know about.

 

[Frostwraith]

Am I the only one here who doesn't mind Palutena's default moveset? Granted, it's kind of bland, but I don't think it's such a big deal.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

She should take her pole dancing career further

Looks like a fun sport

Pole dancers have some amazing acrobatic skills

Speaking of fanservice, Fire Emblem Fates has been confirmed to get a T rating.

Also, it looks like we got a couple VA confirmations over the past few months:

D.C. Douglas apparently will play Gunther and Llewellyn, Brianna Knickerbocker will play Sakura and Charlotte. Kaiji Tang has also said that he has a role in the game, and Matthew Mercer has hinted at it.[/spoilers]

I don't even think the pole dance taunt is that lewd, technically. I mean, if you went to a strip club where the girls pole danced like Palutena does in Smash, I'd say you were ripped off.

It's just the intention is obvious and that makes it more cringey.

I personally didn't find the taunt to be that bad (I was expecting much worse),but it certainly makes me raise an eyebrow. It would of been a lot better if she was swinging on the her staff rather than what we have now

I mean I can tolerate it now that it's here but it's just so glaring how every one of them is based on reacting to the opponent in such a blatant manner. And her reflect move is easily the worst of all of them in the game.

@PushDustIn

Is Palutena's character in Japan much different than her character in America?

Because it almost seems like a different character altogether outside of her voice lines.

Her lines still have that peppiness and sarcasm that we all love from her but her body language isn't anywhere close to that.

I'm wondering if she was supposed to be a more serious Ojou-sama instead of the light hearted goddess we love.

Honestly when I first started playing as Palutena when the game came out I didn't mind it that much and thought she was fun. But then Tournament Mode came along which included customs, giving me the first opportunity to mess around with her specials. That's where I realized how much better of a character she was with customs on, particularly with Lightweight and Superspeed, and I even prefer Jump Glide over Warp at this point too honestly.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh hey! Trauma Team is now on the North American Eshop!

I've heard great things about it.

Anyone played it?

 

[Champ Gold]

A lot of things regarding customs (including Miis) just hardly make any sense. Why make them so hard to unlock? Why do some low tiers like Ganondorf actually benefit from them while others like Jigglypuff and Zelda get jack squat? Why is Timber Counter a thing? Why would they go out of their way to make three different movesets for Miis and then just completely blacklist from With Anyone? Why are Miis and custom specials in general excluded from With Anyone and yet they’re included in Tourney Mode just fine? Why can Miis use their specials when customs are off while Palutena can’t?

Because Customs aren't balanced well at all aside from Miis. Lightweight Palutena makes her have momentum on her moves, something other characters DON'T have, BS custom moves like Heavy Skull Bash Pikachu, Rosalina's Side-B custom, Sheik with stun needles (something she doesn't need) and everything revolving around The Last Dongbender.

Customs can make other characters much better than what they were before like Ganondorf, Marth/Lucina, Wario, Charizard and especially Palutena but characters can also have the worst custom load out which gives less options and worst matchups (Jigglypuff, Mac, Zelda, Samus and Dr. Mario), high to top tier characters get even stronger with them like Sheik, Rosalina, ZSS, Luigi and Pikachu and none of the DLC fighters have any custom moves so their options are now limited.


Customs are overall jank and won't be stop being like that until Sakurai fully nerfs and buffs them like the other patch. It's just so polarizing plus it's mostly bias against them because my main can't do **** with any of his customs. It ain't fair man

I played one of the Trauma Centre games on the DS.

I dunno if Trauma Team is much different but I liked it on the DS. Never got properly into it but that happens to me a lot. Start game, get distracted by something else, and never finish it.

What exactly do Luigi and ZSS have again? Most people agreed they didn't get that much out of customs, or at the very least, anything that makes them broken. .Also, all Lightweight does is increase her jumping and dashing speed. Super Speed is the custom that lets her conserve her momentum when jumping, if that's what you mean.

I find it odd that Palutena's defualt movest is defensive in a game like Smash. You'd think they'd change it up a bit.

It kind of makes sense. She's very much this weird anti-air zoning type of character.

For the record, I really like reflect, it's a fairly unique twist on reflective specials.

Sakurai: After finishing Smash Bros Wii U/3ds and NX completely with all DLC, I took a nice long break. I decided to look at what fans wanted me to do next. The top picks was something mature and another Kid Icarrus, so I combined the best of both!
And we know how you love spinoffs here at Nintendo, So now I present to you:
Kid Icarus Of Poles and Monsters!
Play as your favorite kid icarus characters in a brand new expierence! Try to own the most money in numerous pole based minigames! The person who becomes the best that they can be will become ruler of the heavens!

Luigi has an Ice Ball and ZSS' Drop kick. The latter isn't bad but the former is crazy insane especially when Luigi relies on grabs for his gameplay

I thought Iceball was situational and Luigi mains would rather have default Fireball tho

Okay, I just decided to start watching One-Punch Man. Watched the first two episodes.

I never expected to be this awesome, though the plot seems to be kinda lacking and seems to have a "monster of the week" formula.

Yaay, Frosty-sama watching some good anime

And I watched up until Episode 5 and it kinda looks like it will have some sort of plot but overall it has the "monster of the week" thing

@Zoroarking you arent the only EO fan

Say what you will about their competitive viability, but customs have definitely made some of the Wii U challenges that I initially thought were pretty much impossible actually doable for me. People who want more of a challenge still have the option of trying to complete them with customs off, which I think is an okay compromise.

Aside from making custom sets for specific challenges, I mostly use them to experiment and play around a bit with a few characters. Adjusting fighters' stats with equipment for custom matches has also changed the way I play certain characters. I tend to use a lot of aerials as speedy Villager for example.

Edit: apparently, there are ways to do customs but no equipment tourneys now, I probably should try that out later.

 

[Coricus]

FE Fates confirmed to have the best voice cast ever.

According to my caustic critic binge watches, isn't Tim Curry needed for that?

JK, JK.

But I'm not very versed on voice actors. Who has this guy played other than these characters?

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Decided to delete a bunch of data on my wii u to make room for the X loading time dlcs. Nothing I can't get back later. Besides, I'm getting a Hardrive for my wii u for christmas, so I'll have plenty of data then.

I kind of wish certain equipment, or at least certain kinds of equipment, wasn't allowed in custom tourneys and tournaments though. Getting rekted by people with critical hit equipment isn't very fun...

Too bad getting customs itself is hell.

I really wish they would've added a Custom Move shop that worked like the Trophy Shop.

Indivisible's campaign will be finished in 9 hours.

It only managed the first stretch goal but at least we are getting the game.

They can still get more stretch goals. The donation page will stay open for a few months.

It's called "InDemand." It's dumb but I really want those voiceovers so i'll take it

Swamp Sensei The trauma center, that's the wii one right?
If so, I've watch my brother play through 1 and 2 a few years back. They are pretty good, you need to be super steady and accurate, so if you can't keep your cool/patience in a task in it, you could get annoyed fast. But if you are alright with it, it's a good game imo. Challenging though. Don't remember much about the plot though if that matters.

No matter what I do my PS3 refuses to connect to my new Internet. Not a single video or forum post has helped me in the slightest.

Oh yeah, a Custom Move shop would've been great. That and not letting you get duplicate custom moves. I can sort of understand having duplicate equipment since different equipment has different stats, but allowing you to get duplicate custom moves doesn't seem to do a whole lot aside from just making it harder to get your hands on all of the custom moves. I don't really see the point in that.

Having custom moves and equipment be separate icons (rather than both being under the wrench) might also help things by making it easier to search for the customs that you're missing.

I'd like to point out, the Mario Maker update added "Custom Specials" brackets in Tourney Mode that allow for custom moves but disallow all equipment. Try playing those.
