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

[N3ON]

So the gods of fate have frowned upon me and scheduled my flight for 2PM PST Tuesday December the 15th.

This may just be the first time I pray my flight gets delayed so I can sit in the terminal squeeing at my laptop like a weird person.

Either that or I get to fidget, twitch, and generally ADHD worse than I ever have before for a few hours in the sky.

 

[Inawordyes]

Is there any discussion we can have about the broadcast speculation that we haven't alreaday?

Like,

How long do you guys think the broadcast will be?

Yeah, that's a good question.

This is why they invented in plane WiFi...

Yeah, that's a good question.

My guess is around 20-30 mins.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

F.A.N.G really stands out amongst the SFV newcomers, doesn't he? I wonder if they'll be planning to add more newcomers to SFV through DLC... I'm sure they will. (Still want Q and Remy for SFV, we've got Alex and Urien on the way, so why not more love for SFIII?) I think I'll probably main Rashid for the first few days of SFV, and see who else fits my play style...

My estimates for the length of the Smash Presentation will be between 20 to 30 minutes of pure Smash Content.
- Well, I was beat to the punch by Shroob , and with the same time estimate too!

It's just a shame the time all the reveals will be happening will coincide with the time they get all stingy about using your devices. :/

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Laura, Rashid, F.A.N.G. all interest me.

Only Irish roid rage Rob Zombie turns me off.

It's just a shame the time all the reveals will be happening will coincide with the time they get all stingy about using your devices. :/

Oh yes. That lull period.

At least I'm not alone in missing the action.

 

[ThePsychoWolf]

To be perfectly honest, while I used to be in the 'Wolf for marketing' camp, I've actually just about given up hope for him.

Star Fox Zero just had a huge presentation, and Wolf didn't come with it. We're talking about a Brawl character who, let's be honest, shouldn't have been much harder to make than Lucas (oh, and let's not forget; Lucas got into Sm4sh before Wolf, despite Wolf being more recent and arguably more popular).

I can't be certain of anything anymore, but I just have a bad feeling that Wolf's time has passed. It's certainly still possible, I'm not saying it isn't - it just doesn't seem as likely as it used to.

Don't jinx us! Also, what's this huge Star Fox Zero presentation that Wolf wasn't present for? Did I miss something?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Guess what is winning against Final Fantasy VII in the Best Game Ever poll?

 

[Inawordyes]

Guess what is winning against Final Fantasy VII in the Best Game Ever poll?

Melee?

I'm seriously asking haha, I can't remember if Melee was going up against them this round or the next if they both won.

 

[Kenith]

Guess what is winning against Final Fantasy VII in the Best Game Ever poll?

Tumblrtale?
Blundertale?
Wander Over Yondertale?
Poketale?

I got nothing.

Spoiler

It's Undertale isn't it?

 

[PushDustIn]

...and Undertale has a slight edge over Mario 64....

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Guess what is winning against Final Fantasy VII in the Best Game Ever poll?

Barney's Magical Polar Express Children's Dress Up Game?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Just maybe, figuring out the best game ever shouldn't be a vote

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Barney's Magical Polar Express Children's Dress Up Game?

Correct! *ding ding ding!*

Here is your prize!

You got a life time supply of:

Spoiler

Sausages!

Round of applause for this guy ladies and gents!

 

[Tree Gelbman]

SAUSAGES!?!

I ****ING LOVE SAUSAGES!

Shocking to no one of course.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

You know what would be sick?

If we had the MvC2 intro, but with Smash characters and smash stuff in general.

I'd much prefer that over the current one we have tbh :v

Either that or one at least an updated one with all the DLC characters.

 

[Deleted member]

omg it's 4 days left all ready. I recall complaining when it was still 6 days.

Time keep going by fast!

 

[Shroob]

Looks like the Spinner doesn't require an amiibo, nice

4 DAYS?! Wow. I didn't think time would go by so fast. I am gonna miss the Smash reveals once it is over. It was a fun ride.

Didn't they once say something about no guns in the zelda universe>?

Tetra's always had a flintlock pistol. It's a pirate thing.

Seeing this trailer got me hyped for Hyrule Warriors Legends. I can just take it with me on the go, in case if I go places. It has a lot of cool stuff. And this is coming from someone who owns the Wii U version of it. ^_^

 

[FinalStarmen]

When Undertale wins that GameFaqs' so-called Best. Game. Ever. poll (it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when - don't fool yourself otherwise), I do fear more potential hype backlash against it as a result of butthurt and resentment over the outcome. The poll may not matter to us, but it does matter to other people.

Honestly, I think that'd be a shame.

 

[Fenriraga]

I just came to a realization that is bothering me to hell and back.

Mushroom Kingdom 64 was my favorite Smash Stage growing up, it was so much fun using the Warp Pipes to mess around and go all over the place. ...I had a weeeeeeird affinity for Warp Pipes as a kid. I use to go to Tiny Huge Island in Mario 64 just to hop in and out of them... I was weird.

ANYWAY, I began thinking about if it had a chance at returning as a DLC stage, but then remembered the one thing holding it back would probably be the pipes, because an awesome detail about Smash 64 is that each character had a unique animation for entering warp pipes. So I went to go look up some for old times sake...

...I can't find a single video with it for the life of me. The few videos that are entirely dedicated to MK64 are either the Brawl Hack, or they never even touch the pipes. If I had even remotely passable video editing skills, I'd make a compilation of the animations, but... yeah that is really bothering me. So many pointless videos about "which character can survive THIS attack/custom Stage Gap????", we don't even have one compilation of the pipe animatons.

Not losing sleep over it or anything, but... actually I AM losing sleep, I'm so tired.

I love Toon Link's little scene in the end, omg. he's adorable.

Gotta say, if there ARE more characters, such as villains...wondering why we haven't seen them yet.

 

[Geno Boost]

Mario & Sonic 4 looks great!!!

 

[FalKoopa]

So 24 characters. This is a must-buy for any Zelda fan now, haha.

And a Navi Plush which apparently says "Hey! Listen!". lol

Actually, it is a Proxi plushie, technically .
(Actually they might call it Navi but it has Proxi's voice)

 

[Neo Zero]

PushDustIn btw, you probably already mentioned it, but anything interesting in this weeks Famitsu?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Do you people honestly think half of the characters that got in Smash throughout the years were among the "Popular" results? You wanna look at characters like Duck Hunt, Ice Climbers, Pit and R.O.B. BEFORE they became Smash relevant and still stand by that?

Pit was confirmed to get in due to international popularity in terms of fan demand, so that example doesn't work.

 

[Mr.X98]

PushDustIn just read your "hype responsibly" column and I think you made valid points on Smash community as a whole being based on hype at times, do you feel this could be pushed to an extreme by many fans?

(Also you said people jump on you like a time bomb, can't you just go boom and take them all out?)

 

[Wario Bros.]

Well, only one more week until Stall Walls: De Farce A Bacons:

Can't wait! Who else is excited?

 

[Zane13pyro]

Judging from the fact Linkle AND the Wind Waker troupe lacks a villain, it makes sense we'd get Toon Ganondorf to complete the Wind Waker trifecta.

But...maybe...just maybe...

VAATI don't play with my heart it hurts T^T I WANT HIM IN...... wind Vaati is a big deal lol I wanted him in smash too I like Vaati XD but I also want Geno im weird shh XD

Bi-Weekly. There will be on after the direct.

The reaction on SG, this thread and my immediate Twitter following for Hype Responsibly has been positive -- but I guess that's to be expected as even if you dont agree with me 100%, you guys have a ton of exposure to me. However, on reddit and Neogaf people said hype culture wasn't an issue, and "nofunallowed.jpg"

I've said this before but somewhere we've mixed speculation and desires. "I think" has become synonymous with "I want" in Smash speculation, which is why some people think Sakurai is the 9th Wonder of the World because he doesn't follow the fan trends (which is what people "want" him to do). Sakurai isn't random, it's just that the community gets so deadset on fan made rules and mistranslations that they don't understand what's really going on....so they feel constantly blindsided. Hype culture is destroying the ability to understand the beauty that actually goes into Smash.
