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

Guess we'll never know why it was removed after all...

 

[Wario Bros.]

Only A+-rated games are illegal over here, anyone can buy an M-rated game here for whatever reason...

I don't think AO games are illegal. However, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all refuse such games on their consoles.

 

[Khoru]

Yeah, that's the one. The one in the video I watched was some other remix used in game. Looking for final fantasy music is soooo confusing. The final fantasy main theme is named "Final Fantasy" so it makes it hard to youtube search for because it assumes you put final fantasy in twice because you're an idiot.

i usually just see people call it "prologue"

What do you like better?
Slippy Toad, Navi, or Omochao?

Slippy.
He's who I main in Assault's multiplayer.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Honestly I think the reason why Bayonetta got in as being #1 Worldwide despite being top 5 in the US was because either:

A. Some characters in Top 5 worldwide were put on the back burner for being either cut Brawl or Melee vets.

B. Some were straight up not negotiable to the point where it would have been not worth Sakurai's time trying to get them in (i.e having less artistic license than Cloud in terms of fitting them into the Smash universe, or with things like stages and music, or Sakurai or the other company straight up just didn't want their character to be represented in smash).

C. Corporate shenanigans (i.e Konami and what's happened with them).

D. OR the fact that Bayo got first in Europe and top 5 in US was something only she managed to do (i.e the top 5 characters in Europe and the US ballot were not the same with the exception of Bayonetta being first in Europe and 5th/4th in the US).

I dunno, at this point I'm pointlessly speculating about something we'll probably never find anything out about anyway lol

That, and major retailers will refuse to carry them. AO games are usually just like, erotic PC games. The only exception I can think of is Manhunt 2, which was going to receive an AO rating before they toned it down.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

If you so much as look at Bayonetta and you're under 18, you'll be sent to Guantanamo.

Trust me.

Can confirm, I saw a copy of the Bayo Bundle and when the store workers looked at me, I quickly picked a random game to look at, WWHD

No, the theme I'm talking about is this one

Prologue is this one

Like I said, confusing.

Slippy. Despite the voice, he's extremely helpful and actually pretty smart in a not-completely-annoying way.

I like to think that's actually the case.

 

[FinalStarmen]

Bayonetta was in the top 5. Sakurai said Bayonetta had more votes than the veterans. Therefore, the veterans weren't in the top 5, otherwise they'd say Bayonetta was top 3 or something, it's implied she was #5

In regards to the EU poll, Bayonetta was the top choice. That still leaves four other unaccounted for placements that we don't know. Who knows if veterans did better in EU than in NA, or even if they did very well in Japan, considering their reverence there.

I'm only playing a devil's advocate here in giving veterans their respective dues. This isn't fanboyism speaking, either; I didn't care for any of them to return besides Snake, but I considered him an impossibility. Maybe you're right in that none of the veterans placed anywhere's in any regional top five.


My only issue, initially, was with the language used to indicate certainty of their absences from the top five when we don't really know. In hindsight, though, I think I may have been too anally retentive. This may be blowing itself out of proportion of what I originally intended by making a mountain out of a molehill, so maybe it's best if the discussion ends. I wouldn't want to waste everyone's time and energy with a meaningless debate over a subject matter nobody's interested in (semantics), certainly not in the least the OP I originally quoted. It's pretty trivial to discuss the use of one's language, anyways, because we'd be running in circles otherwise. Who wants to discuss linguistics of uncertain principles (ballot results), anyhow?

Steam has a fair share of AO games. Hatred being an obvious example.

Plus I have heard such games weren't worth playing to begin with except for the porn.

Seriously though... That was bad...

Well now that we can't speculate about any future content for the game we gotta find something to speculate about, lest we fall into madness.

And Hunie Pop which is censored.

no yeah
the song that plays on the menus is consistently called "prelude"
the other one ("final fantasy") is referred to as "prologue"
it's..... yeah.

Prelude to the Prolouge to the Finale of the Final Fantasy for the 1-15th time.

Between this and KH, Square always remains the best with names. :V

I'm curious, was this the first time we've heard an official pronunciation of Geno's name?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I think so? I've always thought it was Gee-no but apparently its Jen-o or something lol.

New Pokemon Go details:

****. I live in a desert.
A. ****ING. DESERT.

Ground is my favorite type.

This would be a totally acceptable outcome for me.

Sure i probably wouldnt catch a nidoran to get my boi nidoking but i could get my 2nd favorite, Krookodile

Never thought i would ever have a reason to visit a desert >_>

 

[Khoru]

japanese is a syllabary so it's always consistent in pronunciation
well

except for elision

I think so? I've always thought it was Gee-no but apparently its Jen-o or something lol.

no that'd be right

 

[Z25]

How many people downloaded Cloud?

While there are no concrete numbers, I'd be willing to guess he is one of, if not the most downloaded one so far. Every time new DLC has come out for smash, I do a lot of matches online a day. Usually seeing the characters that released a decent amount of times. However Cloud has appeared way more then anyone else that's been DLC. Of course that's just my experience, but I still think he has been downloaded quite a good amount of times.

Hopefully I can come across a grass type at a park or some ****. Maybe I'll find a Gible. That'd be pretty cool.

INB4 Someone goes to the Sahara Desert to find Regirock, climbs Mt. Everest for Articuno, breaks into the Vatican for Arceus.

 

[NintenZ]

So I found a gamefaqs post saying that Takamaru and Bomberman were going to be DLC, along with... A Style Savvy character?

Spoiler: Naughty

[Strofirko]

A crappy 2d black and white game is AO while Postal 2 is M.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So I found a gamefaqs post, from the ESRB leaker, saying that Takamaru and Bomberman were going to be DLC, along with... A Style Savy character?

Bro...

It's not the ESRB leaker.

 

[NintenZ]

Bro...

Wait, you knew what I was talking about? If that's the case the link is now dead, so how (And when) did you see it?

 

[Deleted member]

A style savvy character? LMFAO, niw I actually want that in smash 5 for the laughs.

 

[Strofirko]

Because the ESRB leaker might be in a coffin right now.
No rocket science here.

I didn't. But the ESRB leaker is long gone. Common sense dude.

Alright then. Sorry. I had a mental blunder there for a minute.

 

[Pokechu]

It was his account was the thing. Unless you're willing to wager that someone had his account?

?

why would the ESRB leaker still have their job? and know who was and was not planned for DLC, even though he probably got fired back in august? and dlc started releasing in april?

It's okay to not have common sense (i really don't have ANY, like legit) but to still keep thinking there's a chance it's the ESRB leaker? You're incredibly optimistic (not a bad thing, sometimes I really want to be optimistic) or an incredibly lost child (me half the time).

So, brawl we discussed the words of prophets and went on witch hunts against anyone who opposed our views, flaming them alive.

What would be an accurate description of how SM4SH speculation went?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So....

Doesn't Hyrule Warriors Legends have one more slot for a character? Or did I misremember?
