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

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

So did Abraham Lincoln, Elijah Wood, and Ice-T, the splash screen doesn't really mean much.

All of those are celebrities. That's why they got it. Geno is no celebrity. He's just a fan favorite at best.

Man.
You know what we need?
Something cold and delicious to cool us down after a few salty days.
I know just the solution.

I could have passed this off as a leak prior to the direct....

So getting back to the discussion earlier, on how any character could be simplifed to things such as they just punch and shoot fire. I found this picture quite relevant and proves that that point means nothing

Everyone is Marth!

This video basically started the whole meme.

Minus the fact that "Sonikku" is how Sonic's name is pronounced in Japan since he first existed and it isn't a Meme at all

 

[ChikoLad]

This video basically started the whole meme.

Eeeeh not really. People have been calling him that for a while.

To be blunt, it's mostly just weeaboos that call him that, since it's his Japanese name. Trust me, I've been seeing it for years in the fandom.

I was thinking of Sanic wasn't I? I need to get more sleep.

 

[Kingslime304]

Does anyone remember the DS version of Sonic Colors? Y'know the one where it has Mother Wisp? The one that has other past Sonic characters instead of just Sonic and Tails? Plays like Sonic Rush, and has Air gliding sections?
That version feels Nostalgic to me.

 

[Luigi The President]

We're talking other reps for current 3rd party series? Sweet.

For Sonic: Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman all have just about equal chances. But I feel Eggman is the likeliest.
For Megaman: Megaman X
For Pac-Man: A ghost
For Final Fantasy: Moogle
For Metal Gear Solid: Big Boss. Raiden is very close, but Big Boss is more important to the series overall, much more well received as a character by fans, and also was in Metal Gear 1, which started the entire series.
For Bayonetta: Jeanne
For Street Fighter: Chun-Li

I played that version a lot.

For Sonic: Amy Rose
For Megaman: Roll
For Pac-Man: Mrs. Pac-Man
For Final Fantasy: Chocobo
For Metal Gear Solid: Otacon (No one will agree with this choice but just roll with it)
For Bayonetta: Jeanne
For Street Fighter: Chun-Li
New third-party franchise: Scribblenauts with Maxwell

I've been watching the Great Clement's playthrough of it (plus the Wii version)

 

[AreJay25]

Surprised no one has brought up Proto Man as a second Mega Man rep.

He'd be my pick, anyways.

Another fan of Scribblenauts? High five!

 

[Deleted member]

Well, just watched the One Punch Man's final episode
Oh man, I can't believe it is over
Second season when?

 

[NintenZ]

Yeah I know Otocon's a dumb chice but I'm sure they can make him a character somehow. He can attack with ketchup and throw computers at his opponents, I mean how cool would that be?

Can I ask about Amy and Otacon?

Otacon is my favorite MGS character but definitely not suited for Smash imo.

1) I don't have sleeves, I'm a puffball
2) Sanic didn't start with Sonic Runners either
Go to bed, Ninten. Yer metaphorically drunk.

Sonic: Eggman in Mechs (Think Koopa Clown Car but even more wacky)
Mega Man: Zero, Tron Bonne or Roll
PAC-MAN: Pooka (PAC-MAN HAS A PET POOKA, PAC-MAN WORLD 1, IT COUNTS)
Final Fantasy: Only the Blackest of Mages
Metal Gear Solid: Big Boss + Dog
Bayonnaise: I never touched Bayonnaise with a 10 foot pole, so I wouldn't know
Streets: Chun-Li but I'd like Akuma more
Still want Scout

Yeah I 100%'d it.

It's real good but I have no real desire to go back to it since I've done everything in the game.

 

[Luigi The President]

I'd love to see Maxwell in, personally.

Layton, Maxwell, and Cooking Mama...they make me really think "Nintendo".

 

[LIQUID12A]

I must be the only person who would love Vile as a second Mega Man rep.

Yeah, that'd be Mega Man X rep, technically, but come on, his weapons just scream zoning potential.

 

[Deleted member]

Surprised no one has brought up Proto Man as a second Mega Man rep.

He'd be my pick, anyways.

He could be a good semi-clone of Mega Man. I know some have suggested the concept of him being an alt, but he never performed the Mega Upper, but rather a Yoga Flame-like move in The Power Fighters.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Playing Super Mario Maker, played the last Mary-O level. I know it's cliche, but **** bad level design.

 

[NintenZ]

Can I ask about Amy and Otacon?

Otacon is my favorite MGS character but definitely not suited for Smash imo.

Otacon? Dunno, he's a fan favorite so I thought they could find some way to put him in Smash, like using Snake's tools from the first game. And Emi Ross is da hammer.

Another fan of Scribblenauts? High five!

High five!

Big Boss is a fan favorite too though.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

...Man, I wish I could relive August 29 all over again. Hype as ****.

[IceBreakerXY]

All this talk about a second street fighter rep and not a single mention of

Spoiler

Bison would be badass in smash and we all know it

 

[Chrono.]

My Megaman picks would be: Zero -> Bass.exe -> Roll

In order of preference.

 

[NintenZ]

Big Boss is a fan favorite too though.

Yeah... But he's so similar to Snakey Wakey.

 

[Deleted member]

Big Boss is a fan favorite too though.

People would call him a Snake clone and that would just be hilarious

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Sonic: Shadow (& Knuckles)
Mega Man: Zero
Pac-Man: Ghosts
Final Fantasy: Black Mage
Metal Gear Solid: I dunno
Street Fighter: M. Bison
New Third Party Character: Maxwell from Scribblenauts or Jibanyan from Yo-Kai Watch (Sora pipe dream doh)

 

[NintenZ]

Sonic: Shadow (& Knuckles)
Mega Man: Zero
Pac-Man: Ghosts
Final Fantasy: Black Mage
Metal Gear Solid: I dunno

Jeanne and Rodin wouldn't be very happy with this list.

 

[Burruni]

: Robotnik
: Raiden
: Zero
: Screw the rules; put in Agumon. Same company different series.
: Chun-Li.
: BLACK MAGE.
: ....Shouldn't get a second character. Jeanne is the ONLY one suitable (even if we did get our certain favorite bartender for co-op).

New third parties?
Honestly I only have one want and it's an indie.

As for 3rd parties:

Sonic: tails
Capcom: A megaman character would be cool, but i'd want a new franchise, either Pheonix Wright or the Monster Hunter
Namco: Again sure mrs. pacman but someone like Hieachi could be great!
Square: I'd say add another final fantasy character, but I doubt it would happen. If it did, moogles could honestly work, maybe chocobo. That way you have a realistic and more cartooney rep for square.
As for a new 3rd party group?
Level 5: Either jibiyan or layton, I haven't played Yokai watch so
I would be more happy with Layton, but I think both should get into smash at one point.

 

[AreJay25]

Only issue would be if they tried implementing SF inputs like with Ryu.

Because a charge character in Smash would be... yeah...

 

[Bedoop]

Layton, Maxwell, and Cooking Mama...they make me really think "Nintendo".

I dunno about you, but when I think "Nintendo" I think

"Man, there are a lot of Marios..."

 

[wedl!!]

the average Smash player has probably never played a Metal Gear game so they probably wouldn't catch it

"Man, there are a lot of Marios..."

You forgot the most important mario of all:

After all, he was the first ever character voted into the ballot.
and there sure are a lot of other marios they could have done...

 

[Luigi The President]

Yeah... But he's so similar to Snakey Wakey.

Uhh, no?

I made a very lengthy moveset for him, and he's not like Snake at all.

His specials, for example:

Spoiler: Specials

Neutral Special: Big Boss pulls out The Patriot, the gun given to him by his mentor, The Boss. It’s an assault rifle so it shoots at a quick pace. You can move while shooting it, but you cannot jump. It has good range but doesn’t make the opponent flinch, so it’s good for racking up damage if you manage to trap an opponent against a wall or such. You need to reload after shooting it for a while, but you never run out of ammo or have to pick ammo up, because it canonically has “infinite” ammo!

Side Special: Big Boss yells "ROCKET PUNCH" (or rarely, "ROCKET PUNCH" in Japanese) and taps his bionic hand, which launches forward. It goes at a steady pace but you can make it go faster by holding the special button. The hand is very quick in how fast it goes when you input something so it's hard to reach the hand behind an opponent, so it's very good to keep an enemy away if they're right infront of you.

Up Special: THE FULTON. This is one of Big Boss’s wackiest and coolest moves. It’s also very unique.
If you’re standing next to an opponent, the fulton is attached to them. They’re suspended in the air, and can wiggle out of the fulton, but if they don’t in time, they blast off into space, most likely netting a Star KO.
If you’re next to no one, then Big Boss ties the fulton around himself and is suspended in the air. He shoots upward, but not too fast; fast enough that if you have decent reaction timing you could easily recover from off the stage. Also, if Big Boss does this in the air, the fulton is still suspended, so you can meteor smash him.

Down Special: Big Boss throws down a Decoy. It stays on stage for 5 seconds, and if attacked, explodes. It takes a few seconds to set up the decoy, but if you can set it up well, then you have an easy KO on your hands.

Not like Snake very much at all.

 

[Chrono.]

: Tails -> Knuckles -> Eggman
: Zero -> Bass.exe -> Roll
: Nightmare -> Lloyd Irving -> Valkyrie*
: Ken -> Chun-li -> Bison
: ???? I've never played this series
: Raiden -> Big Boss/Venom Snake -> Gray Fox

Order of preference, again

*Pac-man doesn't have much as a series so I just added Namco characters in general
