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

[NintenZ]

BTW, anybody think that it'd be a good idea if we got Pac-Man's second icon, Ridley's icon, Meta Ridley's icon, and Metal Face's icon as site emojis?

Pac-Man has a second icon?

 

[NintenZ]

Pac-Man has a second icon?

Here it is in all it's glory!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Guys I had no internet for an hour it was scary the whole neighbourhood had no electricity (>w<)

 

[Chrono.]

At this point the only characters who look jank as hell are Kyo and Iori >_>

 

[Champ Gold]

I was legitimately mixing it up with Brawl. >_<

Maybe Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and the Wireframes playable?

I can see making the hands playable but not the Wireframes.

They can add the scrapped 6-Player Smash

 

[Deleted member]

At this point the only characters who look jank as hell are Kyo and Iori >_>

Yeah, agreed... You'd think they'd try their hardest on those two if anything. LOL. Oh my god... Kyo in the first trailer was absolutely frightening.

 

[A Distant Demon]

We should at least have Ridley. They guy is so infamous on here it feels strange he isn't one.

Don't think 2 pacs is worth it but Metal Face would be neat. RIP yellow devil

 

[Shroob]

At this point the only characters who look jank as hell are Kyo and Iori >_>

Kula a cute.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Don't call that darkened Ridleu emoji 'Meta Ridley'. It's the Brawl Ridley design but someone tweaked the lighting

btw, anyone else ever notice the 50 fact extravaganza lied? Xander said beating Metal Face gets you a point and I accidentally timed match Gaur Plain. XANDER ****IN' LIED

 

[ChikoLad]

Here it is in all it's glory!

Oh.

Is that unused, or is it in the game somewhere?

I would like to see those icons though.

I also want a Luma icon. He's a named character in the roster yet he doesn't have his own icon. And the Substitution doll does.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Guys I had no internet for an hour it was scary the whole neighborhood had no electricity (>w<)

That sucks. Glad to see you're back.

I can see making the hands playable but not the Wireframes.

They can add the scrapped 6-Player Smash

The Hands can't really go through regular stages, so they might work in their own special mode. Wireframes are pretty normal bar lacking specials, although it'd be cool if you could use them similar to Mii Fighters and choose custom moves for 'em.

I like the other idea, though.

 

[AreJay25]

It's his Wii U icon.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I wonder if Athena will look like her age once more or stay as a terrifying Moe blob in this new KOF game.

 

[ChikoLad]

It's his Wii U icon.

OOOOOOOOOOH

I thought it looked familiar.

For some reason I never registered the difference.

 

[NintenZ]

Here are Ridley, Meta Ridley, and Metal Face's icons too...

@Warchamp7 would these be okay?

(Also hold the phone...

This came from a friend)

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Here are Ridley, Meta Ridley, and Metal Face's icons too...

@Warchamp7 would these be okay?

(And that second Pac-Man I posted above too maybe?)

That's not ****ing Meta Ridley. I refuse to acknowledge it as such. Japan's 50 fact extravaganza called it Black Ridley, it's similar to Other M's Varia Ridley (that's the name in the game coding) yet NoA thought it'd be fantastic for 2 extremely memorable boss fights, one of which setting a standard for other fights with Ridley, to get bastardized and it's name being given to that pathetic excuse of a stage hazard

If you catch a Rhyhorn I expect another chance.

 

[NintenZ]

That's not ****ing Meta Ridley. I refuse to acknowledge it as such. Japan's 50 fact extravaganza called it Black Ridley, it's similar to Other M's Varia Ridley (that's the name in the game coding) yet NoA thought it'd be fantastic for 2 extremely memorable boss fights, one of which setting a standard for other fights with Ridley, to get bastardized and it's name being given to that pathetic excuse of a stage hazard

Okay then, let's refer to it as Black Ridley then, as that seems to be the correct name.

If the Japan Direct called it Black Ridley, then that means we should call it Dark Ridley.

 

[NintenZ]

If the Japan Direct called it Black Ridley, then that means we should call it Dark Ridley.

Alright, I think we've settled on it, Dark Ridley it is.

 

[Frostwraith]

So, I'm back. What did I miss?

That actually sounds pretty interesting, it would actually be kind of interesting to see different types of species interact, like see how Ghosts work with vampires, and other things Also be neat to see Youkais interacting with Western style demons.

All that stuff. Yeah, it would be really interesting, especially if they borrowed from both Western and Eastern myths.

With an expansive open world, it would work by expanding on the idea of the Bionis and Mechonis in the original or the multiple alien species in X. Multiple worlds for different kinds of demons or maybe have a human world and demon world to explore, though this idea is kind of overused, but would work nonetheless.

Yeah, pretty much, have highly advance scientific machinery, while there would be magic, also I feel the magic would be more like magic from Negima then like the force, The Force seems pretty weak when compared to other series magic lore, I mean yeah I'm sure it can do more, but The Force is mainly known for mind tricks, force lightening and pushing stuff, kind of underwhelming isn't it when compared to other series magic isn't it?

Yeah, I was just using Star Wars as an example. Admittedly not the best one, perhaps, but it's what came to mind.

The Force is kind of like magic, though it IS tame compared to what is often seen in fantasy series.

So this is A Thing.

That is funny. Some people have plenty of free time, it seems.

 

[A Distant Demon]

If the Japan Direct called it Black Ridley, then that means we should call it Dark Ridley.

Well we call Black face Metal Face here. Maybe we should call him metal Ridley. Oh wait. (god pyrosphere is weird)


I still have no goddamn clue why sakurai thought it would make sense to make Other M ridley's icon an edited Brawl icon that doesn't even look like the Other M design. It looks sooooo dumb.

Also I forgot about that icon. Another piece of evidence that Pyrosphere Ridley is meant to be the real Ridley. Good thing people have stopped trying to think we an get SM Ridley as DLC so I wont have to use it.

No, instead we're getting NES manual Ridley and Mini-Kraid.

 

[Frostwraith]

Oh, and Ridley was mentioned. For a little while, I was wondering where all this salt came from.

I guess some things just never change...

btw, anyone else ever notice the 50 fact extravaganza lied? Xander said beating Metal Face gets you a point and I accidentally timed match Gaur Plain. XANDER ****IN' LIED

There's an in-game tip that says that defeating Metal Face nets you a point, IIRC.

Signs point that this was a feature removed very late in development... How interesting.

 

[Con0rrrr]

Con0rrrr

Bro, I like that you moxie and belief that Melee HD can happen but let's be honest, if that ever comes to pass it's just gonna be like Street Fighter 3rd Strike Online Edition

• It'll be the same game graphics and polygon wise
• The balance at most will probably use the PAL version
• It's just gonna be up scaled to 720/1080p and nothing else
• All it's gonna have is online and nothing else.
• It's gonna be a downloadable game and nothing more and it'll be for Wii U and if an NX version happens, it won't be a launch title but downloadable again or even be bundled with a Smash 4 NX port

Gotta think the truth here

Oh dude I completely get it. I had a line that mentioned your last point but wanted to keep the video under 20 mins.

I mention many times that it probably won't happen. When I talk about what Melee HD would be in the video I'm talking about the best possible scenario.

 

[NintenZ]

So what would you all think of this icon for Pac-Man that a friend of mine made?

Is it good?

 

[Z25]

That's weird, I wonder why it was removed. I didn't even know that this happened either.

 

[Chrono.]

I went ahead and swam to another country

Because I could

I goof off too much

 

[Dravidian]

Just looked it up and the current best selling bust size in Ireland is 34DD.

Which is larger than what Tifa has.

EDIT: That information is out dated. The most recent report actually says 36DD.

Alright, whose ready for a field trip?
Dibs on all the red heads!

 

[ChikoLad]

I attempted to make a Luma icon.

 

[Champ Gold]

I wonder if they ever did another story mode in a Smash game, they would be a civil war situation with & with in the mix with his clone crew (&)


And also & team up and & vs &

Multiple worlds for different kinds of demons or maybe have a human world and demon world to explore, though this idea is kind of overused, but would work nonetheless.

Well the multiple world thing is overused for a reason, but yeah I'd rather have it so all species are on the same world, so they're forced to actually interact with each other, you could have different species who are trying to stay hidden from the masses, and secret cults trying to wipe out the species, it adds a lot of great story potential.

Yeah, I was just using Star Wars as an example. Admittedly not the best one, perhaps, but it's what came to mind.

The Force is kind of like magic, though it IS tame compared to what is often seen in fantasy series.

It pretty much is outright implied The Force is the magic in Star Wars, and only few can tap into it.. But yeah compared to other series that have magic, its pretty small and pathetic, kind of wonder if that might be deliberate on George's part, whatever you think of him now, you have to admit if he made it so the force couldn't be an easy Deux ex Machina to get characters out of jam and it would force writers, heh made a pun, to actually think when writing for Star Wars materials.

 

[Omega Tyrant]

As a neutral observer looking over the Steam debate, the pro-Steam side had...really bad arguments, and came off as outright delusional. While sure, sales for the originating series isn't a hard factor, it's a significant indirect factor as Naoshi explained, and at the end of the day, when you look at the series that got playable characters in Smash, each one had some level of financial success at the time of their debut and were not outright flops everywhere (even the Ice Climbers' lone game was a million+ seller), and outside the explicit retro inclusions, an apparent future as well. Then when the pro-side shouts "relevancy doesn't matter!", do you all just forget Sakurai's infamous quote when he explained the Ice Climbers' absence in Smash 4, about how characters from series with no apparent future were given lower priority? Yeah the character's uniqueness and how well Sakurai can fit them into Smash will be the ultimate determining factor, but you can't just ignore the prior factors that will very likely keep Henry Fleming from getting to that point for that determination to be made, and prevent him from being high priority enough to beat out his competition throughout development if he makes it past Sakurai's approval and conception.

I think it's ridiculous to speculate about Smash 5's roster at this point to begin with, when it is still years away and we don't even know how the scope of Smash 5 will be. And it's even more ridiculous to claim any newcomer a "shoo-in" for Smash 5, bar maybe the Inklings. Then to argue for and hitch your "shoo-in" claim on a character, from a series that looks to be a one-and-done flop, with no other outstanding features/outstanding demand/outstanding history to get by that, and would be hard-pressed to get into a new Smash game being made right now, much less one 4 or so years from now..

Sure Henry or some other Steam character is very much possible, and I even think he would be one of the neater newcomer inclusions possible at this point. I certainly see nothing wrong in supporting his inclusion, but he's certainly not anywhere near the type of character to hold your breath for nor bet anything on.

 

[ChikoLad]

it's a significant indirect factor as Naoshi explained

Nobody has provided objective proof of this.

Correlation does not equal causation.

 

[Champ Gold]

>Mewtwo leading the actual clone characters

I'm surprised most people haven't mad those connections but me.

I was gonna put in there as sort of a Melee reunion but I didn't think it fit.

Although I had an idea of leading a team of fighters against & with &. And being a chaotic neutral

On the topic of C. N. Steam, anyone seen this video?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

"Relevancy"

.

Also Smash literally made relevant.

I thought him being the developers of Pokemon's favorite choice, combined with the initial leak and him eventually being uber powerful made him relevant

Ash also getting a froaky

 

[Deleted member]

Pffft, he probably liked it. Whether he's aware if it or not.

I certainly hope he likes traps, not only for similar tastes but for other... reasons as well
