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

[Chrono.]

Do we know what Cloud's series symbol is yet?

Two Fs styled like the FF logo.

 

[Z25]

lol, i was expecting the ffvii meteor thing.

So was I, but maybe he is meant to rep FF as a whole and not just 7?

What would your reaction be in the hypothetical scenario wehere there were 4 more DLC characters and they were all newcomer characters who are all about as unique as Robin and Little Mac are but they were: Henry Fleming; Corrin; Azura and Elma?

Very let down.

Fire Emblem is the last series that needs more reps (especially two more. Getting BOTH Corrin and Azura is beyond ridiculous), and Codename STEAM was a failure. I don't think it warrants an Assist Trophy, let alone a playable character.

Elma would be fine, but she wouldn't be mind blowing or anything, and she wouldn't be worth the baggage.

Well, I'd react simply with "cool, but who are these characters?" because I personally have no idea.

I'd love Elma but I don't care for the rest.

Imagine this:

Smash Direct opens with that familiar slash.

Dk Music is playing.

We see a zoomed in shot of a ponytail in front of Crankey's shack

Camera zooms out as we see it's diddy's alternate dixie color.

Diddy gets sent flying by the door of crankey's shack opening.

Crankey Kong Old Schools the Competition!

Your reaction?

Have yet to play fates so Corrin and Azura would be a little sour. Assuming they are jsut as unique as you say I would be ok after it sets in we finally have a spear user

Similar feelings towards Elma but im so hyped for X ill be ok with it as long as there are no blatant spoilers. (looking at you Lucina reveal)

Henry Fleming would be awesome though, so that would make up for any little anger I have

Your reaction?

Utter dissapointment

 

[Burb]

Well, I'd react simply with "cool, but who are these characters?" because I personally have no idea.

Henry Fleming - Guy from Codename STEAM
Corrin - Avatar from Fire Emblem Fates
Azura - Girl from Fire Emblem Fates
Elma - Central character in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Don't know who Henry Fleming is, but I would love if the other three made it in. Especially Elma.

 

[A Distant Demon]

You know codename STEAM was handled badly when multiple people dont even konw his name

this dude

Spoiler

I STILL need to get this game. . .

 

[egaddmario]

I'm hoping more changes are in the patch, much like how Cloud's other voice clips are missing. Olimar needs throw buffs. Ness, Charizard, and now Bowser have crazy early kill throws and Olimar needs them back from Brawl.

 

[Fenriraga]

You know what I realized earlier? You know, I thought it was weird that the Advent Childten costumes have a different pose than the default. But it's his Dissidia artwork pose.

Which I think is a really neat touch.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Cloud's Dissidia Artwork

And a mockup of what his Advent Children Dissidia artwork would be, for more clarification:

[/sooiler]

Good eye! I didn't notice that until now. I also love how his 8th costume is a combo of his Soldier and AC costume, albeit more AC than Soldier. That'll probably be the one I use.

 

[Shroob]

Impossible scenario, but Castlevania gets a rep.

Simon, or Alucard?

 

[Solfiner]

I'd love Elma but I don't care for the rest.

This.

 

[LIQUID12A]

I'm surprised Geno got any recognition.

It really was a risk free option for Square. A Geno costume was likely given that Cloud's inclusion meant that naked doll wasn't getting in anyway.

 

[Burb]

Handled badly?

It's not about how they handled it. They tried promoting it. The game was a commercial failure.

You can't force people to learn about a game they don't care about. Some things aren't meant to be.

 

[Wario Bros.]

2 friggin' hours left!

Come ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

S.T.E.A.M. is a really great, underrated game. I feel like people complained about it for what it's not (Fire Emblem: Awakening) instead of what it is. Same thing happened when people compared Watch_Dogs to GTA V. Just because it's not quite as good as the 9.5 - 10 game doesn't make it a 5.0 game.

Simon. I've always considered the Belmont family to be the face of Castlevania as a whole, whereas Alucard is only the face of the Metroidvania-style Castlevania games. However, I won't deny the small possibility of Sakurai picking Alucard over Simon in the unlikely event that Castlevania does get a rep.

5.0 isn't even horrible. It's the halfway mark.

It means mediocre. Or just bad.

 

[egaddmario]

I like the idea if STEAM's gameplay, but not the art style or characters. Oh well.

That's actually how I feel about Wonderful 101.

Interesting idea, ugly artstyle.

I would really like Corrin and wouldn't mind Azura, but 7 reps is really pushing it. Not that I would mind since I enjoy playing the Fire Emblem characters. But 7 is pushing it. I'd be a-okay with Henry "Red Badge of Courage" Fleming and Elma though.

Have yet to play fates so Corrin and Azura would be a little sour. Assuming they are just as unique as you say I would be ok after it sets in we finally have a spear user

Spoiler: Early FE Fates spoilers

Corrin is a dragon/manakete. Not only that, but he can manifest part of his dragon form to use in battle, like manifesting a dragon claw to attack opponents, compared to other Manaketes who have to transform fully to use any part of their dragon powers. Outside of that, he's a one-handed swordsman much like Marth, Lucina and Roy.

Impossible scenario, but Castlevania gets a rep.

Simon, or Alucard?

Simon. Nuff' said.

Henry-I didn't play his game but I enjoyed the demo so even more excuses for me to buy Codename STEAM
Corrin-****ing yes, please
Azura-spear user! About ****ing time!
Elma-STOP REMINDING ME I DON'T HAVE THIS GAME
Basically, super hyped
It's funny because this would hype me way more than fan favorites Wolf and K. Rool
Hell, I would actually be disappointed with the two

 

[Wario Bros.]

I think I'm getting a headache watching this computer screen for hours.

Gonna take a nap before the show starts.

 

[Chrono.]

Something something less than two hours left.

 

[Con0rrrr]

I'm gonna see what this whole reaction video crap is about and try one. I'll only freak out if we get Isaac, Icies, or Ridley. None of which are likely.

Instead of face cam I am going to have Cat Cam

 

[Frostwraith]

So, only about 2 hours left.

Thankfully, I had a bunch of anime to watch... Speaking of which, One-Punch Man is just too awesome. Shame it will be ending soon. Last episode is next week.

Well, I'll be off for a while longer. It's dinner time for me right now.

 

[Z25]

Just remember the SourceGaming Pre show is on in 39 minutes, and goes until the Broadcast starts.

 

[Fenriraga]

My besr friend from the Air Force got back to town today! He is the biggest FF7 fan I know. Today is gonna be a great day~

 

[Soul.]

Just noticed Rotom + Togekiss and Dragonite + Victini were support Pokémon in Pokkén lol

also it supports Wii U Pro as a controller. good.

 

[memoryman3]

Well, there's one and a half hour to go until the site crashes, so I'm going to take hostage in the Nintendo UK YouTube where the streams are ALWAYS reliable.

I hope you didn't tell them and you can sit them in front of a computer for the direct so they get the full surprise



Well I have my last final for my first semester soon. So i'll be leaving in ~5 minutes. Just listening to Wonstoppable 101 one last time. Going to leave only one tab open being the direct page for when I get back.

Good luck everyone.

It's going to be. . .wild.

 

[pupNapoleon]

Watch with us!
http://www.twitch.tv/sourcecast

I plan to do so! Assuming no more computer problems. Been mostly on my phone since before Cloud. Hope it works this time! That Direct failed for it.

So TIL Sakurai fixed all of Mewtwo's hitboxes on his aerials yessss

I'll end up seeing it then- I LOVE reaction videos. Watching grown men loose their minds over fictional characters brings me great joy.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

I love this video.
