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

[Bedoop]

If by Pokemon, you mean movie prop, then sure.

Also Inkay/Malamar and Unbound Hoopa are actual Dark/Psychic types.

Well you can fight 'em
And if you cheat, you can catch them.
That's 2/2 requirements right dere

 

[Z25]

Okay, I edited an old trailer concept a bit for this, so here's a hypothetical trailer. I think it turned out okay.

Spoiler

Smash logo and flames appear.

The trailer takes on a comic-like style, similar to Little Mac's. This music fades in. Suddenly, in the streets, you see folks running away from blasts of ice, screaming. You then see the cause of the ice projectiles...



...Samus. She's trying to shoot down Metroid who only now appear on-screen. Then, a different alien (let's say, a Prowler) comes in and strikes. Samus' Ice Beam does nothing, and right as she's reloading, a couple of notes from The Star Spangled Banner start playing on an electric guitar.

"LET FREEDOM RING!"

The alien gets blown up and upon the smoke clearing, Henry Fleming appears holding his Eagle Rifle. The camera pans toward him.

Henry Fleming
LETS OFF SOME STEAM!

Gameplay ensues.

The music playing is a remix of the Alternate Main Menu theme, be it with vocals or as an instrumental remix. Fleming's moveset consists of conserving steam (shown in a Steam Meter above the HUD) for higher attack power, combining resource management with intricate shooting and military-inspired normals. This is a fully voiced trailer a la Robin and Lucina's, Corrin's, Little Mac's, and Palutena's, with Abe Lincoln and John Henry speaking with Henry Fleming over the wireless, explaining Fleming's gameplay.

A new stage is also shown off: the Lady Liberty. This is a touring-type stage in which players travel to key locations in the game, such as Buckingham Palace, the streets of Boston, and

Spoiler

Oz

with the stage transitions being represented by the flipping of a comic book page.

Toward the end there is an in-game battle with Henry Fleming, Marth, and Lucina, as well as the John Henry Assist Trophy, in a team battle striking a pose, referencing a possible team combination from his game of origin.

The final cinematic shows Henry and Samus saluting each other as Henry then takes his steam-powered jetpack and flies back toward the Lady Liberty.

What's the mistletoe clause?

And my trailer:

The trailer opens up and we see peach's castle.

We see a big turnip garden and peach is tending to it. She slowly plucks turnips one by one and puts them into her wheel barrel. We see the basic one, a wrinkled one, the zombie one, etc. Finally she gets to the last one and is struggling to pull it up. Finally she succeeds! and something comes flying out with the turnip. The camera pans out and shifts over to the wheel barrel. A figure is sitting dizzily in it.

Captain Toad Picks a fight!

Peach is surprised but laughs as Captain Toad gets out of the wheel barrel and a star comes flying by. As Captain toad runs off, gameplay starts.

We see Captain Toad run onto the battlefield. He shouts " Ready for Adventure!" We see Mario, Luigi, Rosalina, and Peach and a different colored( reskin of Captain Toad for just Toad) toad run alongside him. They are in his homestage Tunnel Throwdown!

It's a stage like Castle Siege. You start out on the grasssy outside of a minecart mountain, but halfway through the stage, minecarts come in and shift the fighters to the underground!
Here we see Captain Toad throwing turnips from the mine Cart.

But What's this? The track is unfinished! Captain toad does a small( like 2 inch) jump and then throws away his pack. This gives him a super jump! Once back on the stage, the scene shifts to different scenes such as one where Captain toad chases Link on the bridge of Eldin. He with his pickaxe, and Link with a hammer. We see some taunts, such as the backpack spin which can damage and confuse opponents. We also see him do his down taunt as he falls. His up taunt is his opening animation to a level.

We also see him interacting with other characters and so on. We See Captain Toad on Final Destination vs Bowser. Captain Toad cowers in fear, but braves on! He puts his backpack down and then he reaches instead and pulls out a mushroom! Captain Toad gets bigger and charges at Bowser! He throws a big turnip and bowser is knocked off the stage! Then Captain toad jumps off and hits Bowser with the pickaxe meteoring him to the ground!

Then one final scene brings us back to the Tunnel Throwdown stage.

We see far into the background a tower! Captain Toad is fighting falco this time, and out of the tower in the distance comes Wingo! He swoops in to grab Captain Toad, but Falco goes:

"Hands off my Prey!'
and spiral spin kicks Wingo away and firebirds into captain toad K.Oing him. The Match isn't over yet though!

A giant Power Star comes crashing down in a CGi Cutscene and K.Os Faclo!

"Alright!"

Captain Toadette arrives on the scene!

The trailer then emphasizes how she is an alt for Captain Toad. Then back to the initial cutscene

Captain Toad has caught the Star and Peach and Captain Toadette join him and pose for victory!

(This is also a Pokemon, not Dark-Psychic, but a Pokemon)

I actually really liked the movie prop enemies

Made me think of a Pokemon game were your pokemon aren't just used to fight other pokemon but to also fight mechs and villians

 

[Oasis Dealer]

So here's a fun little exercise. Take an eligible character that you'd like to see appear in Smash one day, and make them a reveal trailer! I'm curious to see what some people come up with. I'll post mine in a bit.


EDIT: Mods are, of course, exempt from the Mistletoe Clause.

Spoiler

The trailer starts out with a comic book art style like Little Mac's trailer. We see what seems to be an empty training room. It then pans over a door opening, as we start to hear someone talking as they walk down a flight of stairs.

"You know, after seeing you going against all those strange fighters, I think it's time I get in their and show them how to train up: Old school style!"

The figure next to this man emerges, and it's none other than Little Mac. We then see him nod his head confidently in response.

"Before I get in the ring, I think it's time for the student to teach the master."

Cue a montage of Little Mac training his long time friend, all ending with Mac riding his bicycle down New York with his friend slowly following behind.

We then cut to game play of of Smash 5 as we see some fighters battling it out. Suddenly, we get a close up of a foot slamming down with this mysterious person saying, "Ding Ding!"

"Doc Louis Weighs Into Battle!"

Cue gameplay of Doc's moveset and final smash.

The trailer then ends with Doc Lewis standing in front of knocked out opponents as he eats a chocolate bar in victory.

I think this came out alright, though kinda sloppy. I made it up as I went along, but it did make me appreciate how I would really like to see Doc Louis playable in Smash.

 

[Z25]

Dark Fighting's been done by Scrafty, which is conflicting since Fighting types are supposed to be honorable martial artists while Dark has dirty tactics.


And then there's Ludicolo's Grass-Water, which makes sense considering it's a Lillypad Kappa. There's also Gliscor with Ground-Flying, too.

Let's not forget Volcorona who Is bug and fire...

Sure it makes sense,

But I don't know, last time I held a magnifying glass to a bug and it caught fire, it didn't end up like volcorana!
(and no I don't actually do this)

I feel like that middle one should actually be a Pokemon

because

why not

Mega Tangrowth anyone?

Just so you know, it's Louis.

I also want him in, he'd be tons of fun.

 

[Z25]

But I do wish that they would bring pokestar studios back. IT was really fun plus we could make 3 movies now and do so much more!

 

[ChikoLad]

In terms of creating a Pokéverse out of Smash characters, I think it's more fun to try and imagine the humanoid characters as trainers/gym leaders.

Like so:

(Art isn't mine, belongs to "askthegrandstar" on tumblr)

"Starry-Eyed, Gym Leader Rosalina"

6 Pokémon Team:

-Gardevoir (obvious one, a lot of people think Gardevoir is what Rosalina would look like if she was a Pokémon)
-Mewtwo (I personally think as characters they would have an interesting relationship, but they both have psychic-esque powers so they work no matter what. Also Mewtwo's attacks sometimes have a space/cosmic aesthetic)
-Cubone (their backstories work perfectly together. Cubone is an orphan, Rosalina is too but is also a mother now. She'd probably take one under her wing)
-Greninja (I think she should have a Water Pokémon due to her having the Water element in Puzzles & Dragons, and as I mentioned before, I think it makes sense for her to have some dark types. I choose Greninja in part because Rosalina is athletic and agile like a ninja, so yeah, I wanted to give her one Pokémon with a focus on CQC attacks who could be agile)
-Palkia (represents space. Also Water type, so it works. I won't give her any other Legendary/God like Pokémon since that might be too OP)
-Jigglypuff (honestly kind of a random choice. They're cute and squishy like Lumas, I guess)

I wasn't basing this on anything other than "what Pokémon might she like/resonate with?", so I don't care for anything like "WELL ACTUALLY ALL GYM LEADERS ARE SUPPOSED TO USE POKÉMON OF THE SAME ELEMEEEEENT" or anything like that.

She should be a champion, not a gym leader tbh.

Probably, but that's just the title the artist of the picture gave it.

Wow...just, wow.

Spoiler: Minecraft Story Mode Episode 4 Spoilers

REUBEN CAN DIE.
I don't have the game but friends are playing it and Reuben, the little pig, can die; no, not CAN die, HAS to die.
Did not expect that kind of twist at all. And I'm actually sad about it, too..

 

[NintenZ]

WHAT IN THE ...!?

WHAT IS THIS!? WHAT ARE THOSE!?

 

[Z25]

Oh and I brought up the other day how I was randomizing pokemon insurgence and playing through it again. That got boring so I made it a randomized nuzlocke instead! So far I have 3 of 6 badges, and around 15 usable pokemon with about 20 of them dead. The best thing so far was my last capture, which was a rayquazza! Having the most uber thing in the meta as backup in a nuzlocke, when someone dies, has me feeling confident about it. Especially since it's my first nuzlocke.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I still can't believe Kaizo has made it's way from ROM hacks to an official Nintendo game.

 

[A Distant Demon]

WHAT IN THE ****ING ****!?

WHAT ****ING TRAVISTY OF A COMMERCIAL WAS THIS!? WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WERE THEY THINKING!? IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL SOURCE MATERIAL!!!

1. Calm the hell down man. . .
2. Im pretty sure nothing about this has to do with Goldensun sun (although I know the chandelier dragon was added later) but it was cool enough to get SOME people's attention
3. 90% of older commercials made no ****ing sense anyway. At least this one gave us violin fore arrows (badass) and a summon that actually made it into the game.
4. I really need to get back to Goldensun. .even if my backlog is huge.

My reaction was clearly over exaggerated (Or so I thought...), it's been edited though to show what I really thought, lol.

Anyways, I really didn't get it, someone just sent me it in an email and I thought... "What the ****?"

I never knew that's where the dragon from Dark Dawn was, it's actually pretty interesting to know, and the commercial itself is pretty badass.

I seriously need to play the Lost Age, as that's the only one I haven't played...

 

[Deleted member]

I always heard it was a counter to Dragon and not Dark. Sorry, I'm not much of a Pokémon guy anymore (I mean I'm practically an inoffensive genwunner at this point, lol).

I still think they should just make a "Light" one, it's much simpler.

Well, they were introduced to balance Dragons
But they work as the "Light" type anyways

 

[NintenZ]

What's the Japanese commercial like anyway?

It... Makes less sense then the English one... Anyone got some weird commercials they'd like to share?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yeah, there's been plenty. Electric/Water types, Grass/Poison types, Dark/Psychic, Water/Grass, Ice/Dragon, Ground/Flying, etc.

At this point there's only 38 type combinations that haven't been used. And then there's another 5 that I usually lump in with that of ones that are only used by Megas and Rotom Formes, but not individual unique Pokemon. I think within another generation or two we may well see every type combination filled.

There are so many grass/poison I'm not sure that counts. Besides, it kind of works good together toxic and leech seed

 

[ChikoLad]

There's a random extra in Space Dandy who is literally E.T with a top heavy body.

 

[NintenZ]

Wow guys, I'm really feeling zoned out... Just feel kinda weird...

Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man all begin to duke it out. Then suddenly an unknown figure comes out from the shadows, and knocks them all out. It's then revealed to be...

RAYMAN
Battles With The Legends

Tricky Treasure plays for the gameplay part of the trailer, showing all his moves and taunts.

The trailer then ends with Rayman, Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man taking a nap.

If you mean that as in you're feeling unwell, tell your parents/whoever you occupy your house with, or see a doctor if you can.

I guess it's because of lack of sleep, as I've been getting to bed late, gonna get to bed early this time.

I've had a lot of late nights/sleepless nights lately too.

The best, low effort thing I suggest you do is make sure you stop eating and drinking anything but water an hour before you plan to go to bed, and do your best to restrain yourself from doing anything too stimulating on the brain. Listening to some chill, relaxing music, or maybe chatting with someone are good examples. And of course brushing your teeth before going to bed or simply tidying up things are other good things that can be included in that hour.

It's kind of funny that the type does pretty much play that role as the Fairies of old lore were far from being unanimously good and could be very tricky and cruel. Pokémon admittedly does lean far into the more modern portrayal and makes them more cutesy and kind (which also makes the type monotonous overall), but you still get those like Mawile, who takes more from the Fair Folk interpretation.

 

[Z25]

Lol Bowser's holding Peach over a shredder. That's both messed up and hilarious.

I think @MegaMarioMan9 mentioned that if he was in smash, his announcer voice should be the voice when he breaks out the window

Like idk, but this commercial is by far the weirdest paper mario one, I watched all jp and us one and it;s really the most hilarious.

However, the TTYD one and the SS one are really good, I guess that;s one good thing about SS

Spm is just only gameplay or one of these "we would like to play" which is so unfitting for a freaking single player game (literally, you cannot play more than one player).

That would be a funny callback if he got into Smash.

And at least they got better with time.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Anyone else think it's really cool when video game developers add stuff to their game in memory or tribute of a loss that has occurred in real life?

I think it's really great when developers throw things like that into their game. You know, sort of like virtual mementos. A good example is a place known as the Shrine of the Fallen in World of WarCraft, which was secretly added to the game after the loss of the artist Michel Koiter.

So I was rather pleased when I saw Delusion Mountain, a landmark in Xenoblade Chronicles X. I thought it was a really nice way to pay respects to the countless hours people wasted ever thinking characters like King K Rool, Ridley, or Bandana Dee would ever be playable in a Super Smash Bros.

Kudos to Nintendo.

When I think about in Fairies, usually two characters appers in my mind, Tinker Bell and Cirno (the Touhou character xD)

I want my Dark/Fairy tricky awesome Fairy xDU

 

[aldelaro5]

And at least they got better with time.

yeah, this is the SS one, it;s really good, I might say it might be the best:

The reasons it;s so good is because except the beginning, everything is NOT gameoplay footage, but actual animation that replicates the games, if you played the game, you would clearly think it looks like the game.....but just somehow more immersive.

it;s just so sad that the commercial isn't proportional to the quality
