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

[A Distant Demon]

So apparently, the Nintendo Subreddit is in turmoil right now.

I'm not going to say what's going on there in order to prevent drama from starting here, but I'm just giving you a heads up if your going to go there. The thing that's happening isn't really substantial, but I just don't want this thread to become really dramatic.

You see this only made me want to go see the reddit burn. If you didnt post this i would have never looked

I think you're talking about this

DAISY ME ROLLING, THEY HATING.

And i find it hilarious

 

[BluePikmin11]

I feel bad for memoryman3. TBH

 

[wedl!!]

So I bought Hitman Blood Money and Ikaruga with the money I got for refunding FF7 (which I've yet to play due to me not knowing how to configure controllers for pcsx, derp).

Ikaruga is sick. Never played a Hitman game but heard Blood Money is the best (plus it was like $2).

Yeah... they've gone too far.

I don't usually post in this thread (I probably should, I lurk here quite often) but I thought I'd share this little gem that I found: located in Osaka, a statue of Snake dressed appropriately for the festive season. It made me smile today, and hopefully, you do too!

Spoiler: awwhhh :'3

Merry Christmas everyone! <3 <3 <3

Lightning wasn't the only protagonist of XIII. There were 5 others that were just as important and whom you arguably spend more time with.

And she was in XIII-2 for like, 15 minutes, not counting DLC.

Lightning Returns is the only game where she is a solo protagonist.

Which is why the "Lighting" meme is stupid, because it doesn't apply to her. Especially since she's actually quite popular (I hear she's like a literal popular role model in Japan, or was at one point), even people who don't like XIII because "MUH LINEAR" still like Lightning.

Let me explain the Lightning meme for you:


It's when the company/creator pushes this particular character so hard and rarely half of the fanbase likes that particular character

Lightning fits that role considering Toriyama (no, not that one) pushed her massively hard for her and Square shoved her in multiple titles and advertising and over favorable FF characters over her.


It's the same thought process for Rosalina considering people believe she's hogging the spotlight from Waluigi, Daisy and even Peach in certain cases when she's popular, Lucario in that light for Game Freak considering he was pushed hard for and he was considering hogging the spotlight (especially when he was Brawl and Mewtwo wasn't) and Lucina lastly due to the base breaker of FEA and people stupidly thought that she'll replace Marth as the face of FE when that's impossible and stupid to consider that.


Don't try to change it up or say I don't understand m, THIS IS WHAT THE LIGHTNING MEME IS:

This character is too popular and might attract the wrong people unlike my character

Rather fitting how he has a chain around his arm, means he can't escape Konami's clutches

There's a difference between "New character being shoved down our throats" and "new character gets popular and starts to appear more"
Lucario and Rosalina got popular when they debuted and Nintendo took the chance and made them prominent characters
Lighting has been everywhere since her debut despite negative reception

That's what I'm saying. People twist that thing just because they don't like that particular character due to its stupid vocal minority or just because they feel like they are taking their favorite character's spot.


It's why I said Marie was the only one that fit the Lightning thing

Is it strange that your avatar turned into an ad for Psychonauts 2?

Tis the Season.
Second Christmas here on Smashbaords.
Boy does time fly. I still remember last year when we had that Mewtwo Model popping up in every single new leak.
Anyway just wishing you all a very merry Christmas and happy holidays
Here's Hoping you all get what you asked for.
Merry Christmas

I highly doubt WAA was in the top 5.

Nothing will kill leaks. Even @Burb said expect a leak in January saying there's an extra character after

Not expecting it to be true, but I'd be fine with this. Snake being one of the most voted makes me happy if true, but you know....Konami.

I would like to see how Nintendo uses these results however. I've heard that these results could be used outside of Smash, though I've never known if it was true or not.

This isnt their first fake leak claiming to have an inside source. . .

Apparently this was proven fake.
Which is too bad...I would be overjoyed if Lana was in the Top 20 Ballot results...T_T

 

[MainJPW]

This was confirmed by Iwata when the ballot was announced.

 

[epicmartin7]

Quick question. Does anyone know what happened to @Neo Zero? It says on his profile that he's going to be gone indefinitely.

Spongebob would get in before Lana.

I'm telling you now.
There will be Leaks until SFZero is released.
And even after those Leaks with Wolf end.
It's only matter of time before we start getting Smash NX Leaks.

Don't try to change it up or say I don't understand m, THIS IS WHAT THE LIGHTNING MEME IS:

That isn't what the Lightning meme is, it's just when a character is forced down our throats despite lukewarm reception, nothing more.

Lightning has never appeared "over a favourable character", every game she has appeared in outside of the FFXIII series, has been a general FF crossover, like Dissidia. It's foolish to say she's being forced by appearing in games like this, since she is the main representative of FFXIII, so if they want to represent that game, they jump to her because she is the most well known character from the game, and has also proven to be popular in various polls and just the fact she was a legit role model in Japan (i.e. Japanese people looked up to her as a symbol of what they should be like). It's no different to how Cloud is the main representative of FFVII.

So the Lighting meme doesn't apply to Lightning herself.

Trying to say Lightning is forced by Toriyama is no different to saying Rosalina is forced by Koizumi. Neither are true and there were legitimate reasons for them appearing in more stuff.

That's hurtful, man.

It's only matter of time before we start getting Smash NX Leaks.

Releasing a port of Smash for the NX would be a wise decision, as long as it supports cross-platform play between Wii U and NX. Expecting anything more than a port however is far too optimistic in my opinion.

You can talk about characters here but most of Smash character speculation moved here.

PS posting twice in a row when non one else has posted since (known as double posting) is against the rules. Just a heads up for the future.
