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

[Z25]

"Believe it or not, Green Shovel Knight will be in Smash"
Smash community can totally see this happening, Tama knows this because he's got some friends in the business, and he comes here to interview us, ending with 2 users saying he could be wrong and Tama deciding Nintenzone sucks again

Clearly he's going to tell us Shantae is next in line for smash!

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm a bit iffy on this whole "reporting a rumour by popular demand" thing.

I like his Unseen 64 stuff, as the focus there is developers of finished or cancelled games getting all of this cool trivia out because they want it out.

Reporting rumours like that though, is the opposite - these developers want it to be a secret until it's ready.

But of course, the latter is more sensationalist and more easily generates views...

 

[epicmartin7]

Honestly, Tama can really do whatever he wants. His content is his content. What I'm concerned about is the type of rumor that he's going to report. I don't really want events similar to the Shovel Knight Rumor to happen again.

I just hope that he's learned from last time.

 

[AreJay25]

I just hope Tamaki gets it right this time.

The Shovel Knight rumor was a nightmare.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Oh boy...

I'm going to do whatever I feel like, but what do you think the next video should be?

— Liam (@liamrobertson.bsky) (@Doctor_Cupcakes) December 6, 2015

Watch as he claims Banjo is the next Smash character and sends the internet spiraling into chaos.

I really don't care what he reports on so long as he handles it well.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

*laugh-track plays*

Sums up my reaction.

Also thank you for reminding me of this. I can't believe it's been nearly a year since this video. Time sure flies by.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Is it just me or do Cloud's arms look freaky?

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Welp, looks like that's happening

 

[AreJay25]

Nomura said it was "the lighting".

I... don't really think it's the lighting...

 

[Soul.]

NX rumors are just as annoying as Shovel Knight's tbh

 

[Substitution]

Is it just me or do Cloud's arms look freaky?

Jesus Christ that looks painful! Even contortionists would be cringing in their seats.

Wait, he insulted the thread on twitter?

Oh lawd, the popcorn spectating is real XD

 

[kylexv]

Is it bad that this was the first thing I noticed in the trailer?

I guess they're trying to keep true to Cloud's original design here, but when the graphics look much more realistic, it just seems out of place.

Spoiler: Cloud's Original Design (For Reference)

 

[Deleted member]

He even directly linked the page with all the drama
The tweet probably doesn't exist anymore though

 

[ChikoLad]

I talked about this in the Cloud social but yes his build in general looks overly scrawny IMO, and it's the one thing I saw in the trailer that really bugged me.

I mean I guess I have no place complaining about how Cloud looks since I'm not some die hard FFVII fan or something but he just looks sickly, as someone else put it. And I think he looks malnourished, his arms are disturbingly scrawny.

I can take the pale look and tired looking eyes, that makes sense in the context of the story. But his arms should have a bit more meat. He looks like an average joe ripped off the slums of Midgar rather than a trained SOLDIER member.

The proportions of his head just look a little weird too.

I hope they touch him up.

I should not feel like my own physique is comparable to Cloud Strife.

What a salty mang lmaooo.

Btw, can someone link them if they still exist?

I don't think Cloud has ever been portrayed as some kind of super muscle man

 

[Deleted member]

Well, you're not wrong...
But he wields a Big ****ing Sword
He technically needs them

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Chief's actually an icon, more recognisable, the main character of the series that revolutionised shooters on consoles and the series is huge spanning multiple forms of media such as comics, novels, animated shorts and films.
All Banjo's got is better relations to Nintendo and being considered for Melee.

I will admit I'm a huge Halo fan so take it lightly.

Sorry this is late, but Banjo is an icon in his own right too, he's basically the mascot of Rare and even though they aren't much now, they were known for a large portion of the best games for 2 Nintendo systems.

Also, this might sound cliche, but Chief has no ties to Nintendo aside from being a rival, at least Cloud has been in spinoffs and if people thought Snake didn't fit, Chief is even more out there, his games are ated M with little to no comedy or light-heartedness and he probably couldn't have his guns taken away.

Plus they made one of my favorite games on the NES

So, they did pretty good for themselves on 3 Nintendo systems

 

[aldelaro5]

Nuzlocke, the test of patience, planning, and RNG tolerance.

nah, you know what is the true test of rng tolerance?

Finding the seed address of the RNG.

I tried for spm, it was a pain in the patout and it took......5 hours.......seriously, it';s hard man

 

[Luigi The President]

There'sa ctually an analysis I found on why Cloud is so skinny.

Spoilers, maybe, I dunno:

Spoiler: Spoilers?

He was experimented on for years, fed through a tube, then he had to run away and was on the run (I believe?), then he most likely did not sleep properly, and tons more I'm sure. But this is all from a post I saw.

So yeah..he's not supposed to be beefy.

Here it is:

Spoiler: Spoilers and Reasons

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Cloud DOES have to pass as a woman, remember

Do you see something like that working in FF7?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Maybe the Buster Sword doesn't have much weight to it?

Haven't played FF7 so I wouldn't know

 

[Chrono.]

Cloud has been through hell, to put it lightly.

It makes sense that he looks scrawny/unhealthy.

 

[Kenith]

Speaking of the Buster Sword? How much does it way? Does the FF7 give some sort of explanation on why Cloud can use it so efficiently? Like maybe it's made from some really light metal or something?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It gives as much explanation as to how the gunblade works as a weapon

 

[A Distant Demon]

>Playing Valkyria
>so much RNG in enemy's favor it isn't even funny
>sandstorms make level even worse
>~30 min in
>game crashes
>there is no autosave

hello darkness my old frieeeeeeend

I hate replaying things so I probably wont finish this level for a few months now. . .

 

[Kenith]

There's this video if you're interested.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So I have a question

RogueXKnuckles

or

RogueXShadow

 

[Kenith]

RogueXKnuckles

or

RogueXShadow

RougeXThe Dirt is my OTP.
Because that's all she deserve.

 

[Z25]

Is it just me or do Cloud's arms look freaky?

It's ok this was the result of all the training he did to get into smash. He even went full HD!
He'll better once he releases and trains with his fellow smashers!

..Shaq most likely plays Smash....

I love this man too much for my own good but now I love him even more

 

[Bedoop]

So I have a question

RogueXKnuckles

or

RogueXShadow

1) RougeXDirt (All she deserves)
If that isn't applicable;
2) RougeXTails (Sonic Battle/Sonic X)
And if THAT isn't applicable;
3) RougeXSomeRandomChaoInTheChaoGarden (Because why not)

 

[Con0rrrr]

Cloud x Aerith for life

 

[Luigi The President]

So I have a question

RogueXKnuckles

or

RogueXShadow

Rogue X Knuckles, Rogue, Shadow, and Omega are all best pals and nothing more.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Cloud x Aerith for life

Tifa. The character you are looking for is Tifa.

The only thing Aerith is worth pairing to is her abdomen with a sword.

 

[Khoru]

my otp is golden x conorrrr
