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

[Burruni]

So I was playing Smash, and Robin got back her old Awakening legs

Wait do Robin and Lucina have feet in Fates?

 

[Spazzy_D]

Source Gaming Corrin Live reaction is up!

Some NSFW language. A lot of it is us laughing @TheAnvil. Sorry buddy.

@Neo Zero @PushDustIn Nantendo and myself

Sorry for the long stretches of silence, but we were actually, you know, trying to watch the presentation when Sakurai was talking.

 

[Curious Villager]

In regards to the whole cartoony and realistic third party thing. Can't really think of a cartoony and realistic (with a bit of support) third party for Level-5 as its two main candidates are both cartoony looking characters. Layton & Jibanyan, although if you want to play it that way, it still involves both a human and non-human characters much like Bayonetta & Sonic and Ryu & Mega Man (Mega Man is a robot, mind).

 

[Kenith]

Wait do Robin and Lucina have feet in Fates?

Yeah they do.
I can't find a screen of them, but the characters in Fates have feet.

More Smash X Star Wars jokes.

Every Smash comic is so much better with Samus, I swear.

When I was younger I thought it was epic to fight while falling down at the same time, it feels so unusual, so unexpected that it's really cool. Now it's truly happening on my Wii U thanks to Bayo.

Yep, it's funny we have a stage that is perpetually falling as that's something some people wanted to see in a stage...although they meant more that the characters would be falling, but that just isn't feasible.

Wouldn't it feel like you constantly have to throw up because of the gravitational force?

I really do wonder how Little Mac would settle that stage. He'll be Side B'ing for days.

 

[Wario Bros.]

So I've been reading up some past Source Gaming articles on 's potential inclusion (articles on & are pretty much non-existent) and the ones giving reason why she's worthy made much more sense when she became reality. Of course, the counter arguments pretty much lost due to the fact I don't see any significant censorship on her Smash appearance.

Great articles!

She looks like a really fun fighter too I must say.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Here's how I'd do it! After breaking the floor, you'll fall down a long shaft for quite a while. You can ascend and decend due to the constant wind, and if you become helpless, you can hit the walls to regain your moves. My ideal stage for this would be Norion, as it's where you fought Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime 3, who's fight was in a freefall thing

 

[Chrono.]

Man I just got through a disturbing sidequest in XCX.

Spoiler

Watch out for an NPC named Alex lol

Oh trust me, there are more disturbing ones to come.

 

[Z25]

So we were discussing assist trophys who should be made playable earlier( sort of), and you who I still honestly thing should be promoted?

Nintendog.

We have duck hunt so another dog could be added. Plus Nintenddogs were popular and could have a more traditional dog moveset, that could be really fun. It probably won't happen but I would love if it did.

And please can Sandbag become a new WTF newcomer Sakurai?

Cloud was literally revealed the week I was going to post a "Case for Cloud Strife" article. It was on our posting schedule. Ask @PushDustIn. Same thing happened with Ryu, actually.

Cloud was one of my choices for a third party Smash character in the following Sourcegaming Choice:

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/09/20/sourcegaming-choice-5-3rd-party-characters/

Think that's the meatiest article on him we have.

The Nintendog is a realistic puppy, that would NOT go well with people.

 

[Chrono.]

C-can't wait.

 

[Kingslime304]

Which Survival Horror character do you think will fit best as a Smash Bros. character (In terms of moveset, and playstyle)?

 

[Strofirko]

The pink bunny from badge arcade is totally a shoo in for next smash bros.

 

[Kenith]

So I beat Tales of Symphonia and Metroid Fusion before Okami because reasons.
Not sure whether to start playing Okami or Bayonetta first.

Eh, I don't agree.
Frankly, if there's any character that is perfect for the Assist Trophy role, it's Nintendog. I don't think the idea of adding a realistic dog as a fighter is very interesting at all.

 

[Z25]

I honestly think it could be gotten away with. They even have a cartoony feel in smash even if more realistic. I honestly think that if PETA didn't complain about Duck hunt, then they would be fine.

 

[Chrono.]

Jill/Chris/Leon from RE or Pyramid Head if you want something from the other side of the spectrum.

I don't know about Pyramid head, but I could see Jill or Chris.

I would be perfectly ok with this!

Fair enough, and you should play Bayonnettaa.

*repeatedly points to signature*
(A Fatal Frame rep would be cool too)

Waluigi and Ashley pls.

I want to yell Waluigi Time at someone and laugh like an idiot. Just like I do when playing Mario Tennis.

 

[Roaring Salsa]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Fatal Frame part of Nintendo now? A character from there would be cool

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I just wonder how they're going to top Corrin in uniqueness for the next Smash (as far as FE characters go). A lance wielding pegasus knight?

Maybe we shouldn't get any new FE characters next game and just keep the ones we have, and maybe remove at least one of the 6 that we have.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Duck Hunt has a more cartoony design, you can get away with that. The Nintendog is a realistic puppy, there would definitely be more controversy.

Final Smash: THE CLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW

I really like that bunny I must say (though it annoys me that he has no name...)

 

[Frostwraith]

Just watching the Japanese trailer of Bayonetta... I feel like her Japanese voice just doesn't suit the character that well.

 

[Deleted member]

EDIT: I agree.
My reaction to all the haters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_qpwA84th8


Forgot I was in the NintenZone.

It would be criminal if Waluigi got in and one of his taunts were not it's Waluigi time. I could definitely see him and ashley happen to, since they are being promoted by Nintendo and have become popular requests amongst fans.

 

[Substitution]

Plus to be honest Duck Hunt has a lot more going for it than Nintendog. I mean, what could you do with Nintendog?

 

[Z25]

Biting, tackling, headbutts, etc. It could be basic but it's also Sakurai, who would make it so much better then anything fans come up with.

Don't know(Or
maybe don't want to know.) the rest of the moveset, but the final smash will definitely be peeing on the carpet.

Still, Sakurai can only do so much. He's a good developer I'll give him that, but he's not a miracle maker.

 

[FalKoopa]

The Wii U version of Bayonetta is the only one to have Japanese voice acting, apparently. I guess they didn't care than much.

I think there could be a hand following him around, representing you.

True, I was merely suggesting things. It all comes down to if he gets inspired or ideas or not. But I only see them romoting one or two assist trophys.

My guesses would go torwards either waluigi, isabelle( 99 percent confident on this) or ashley and maybe a retro assist trophy.

That be neat! What if it could stun people for one of the attacks? Like the hand rubs opponents bellies and stuns them briefly?

 

[Kenith]

I can think of another dog character that bites, headbutts, and tackles that could get in if an Assist Trophy was promoted...
