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

[NintenZ]

Of course!

Have we forgotten how bias for your preferred character utterly trumps logic in this community, particularly with those that are real hardcore fans?

I was saying that, in other words, Wolf's absence isn't strange at all to me, I mean he at least has a trophy, custom moves, and an alternate costume. I just randomly brought up Bandana Dee as an example.

I guess I'm late to everything...

 

[Burb]

The fact that we were told this was the latest stream was the final Smash 4-related broadcast and that Bayonetta was the last DLC character doesn't matter anyway, because people still have the classic "SAKUREY IS A TROLL DONT BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS, CUZ HE CAN CHANGE HIS MIND!!!111" handwave they can use. They don't even need to resort to bullcrap like "OMG THE SQUARES ON THE SITE ARE UNEVEN!" and "SAKURAI SAID BAYONETTA IS THE LAST NEW CHARACTER!"

It's completely unwinnable and never-ending.

The 3DS version of Rio 2016 only lets you play as specific characters in specific events. The only characters playable across all Events are Mario and Sonic. Everyone else is only playable in one or two.

Rosalina is only playable in Gymnastics...I mean don't get me wrong, she fits it best because dem legs and her body in general, but I want to play as her in everything.

I do think this is only for the 3DS version though. It says Rouge is exclusive to Golf, but we've seen her play volleyball on the Wii U version already. And there was apparently a leaked screenshot that was quickly removed of Rosalina swimming at one point.

If it's hopeful thinking.
They did this in London 3ds as well.
They had Team's split across events leaving only certain characters to be playable in those sections.
Meanwile on the Wii U game all everyone was avalible across board.
I really hope they don't do this to the Wii U game because it has so much going for it this time.

If I remember right. He said last Newcomer DLC.
Which of course means Wolf is still open to return.
Honestly though I think this is getting ridiculous now.
If we get a NX port. That's when Wolf should return to conversation.

 

[ChikoLad]

She has a crown...

And that Game Theory thing.

So? A crown is just a headpiece, it's not exclusive to royalty (and even then, if you want to be technical here, Rosalina's crown is platinum, not silver or gold, which would imply her being way above a princess - such as being god). The fact of the matter is she doesn't rule any kingdom (even in regards to being a cosmic goddess, she doesn't present herself as "ruler" of the cosmos, but as it's "watcher and protector"), she has no subjects (Lumas are her adopted children and she has a personal attachment to them, it isn't formal in the slightest), and she has never ONCE been referred to as royalty outside of one localisation error regarding Baby Rosalina (who herself is not even canon and contradicts Young Rosalina anyway). When Nintendo are talking about characters like Peach, Zelda, and Daisy, for example, they almost ALWAYS preface their names with "Princess". They have never done this with Rosalina though, so clearly they don't want to present her as just some princess.

And Game Theory's theory is terrible beyond belief.

Well he was originally Bowser's second-in command and next-in line to inheritance of the throne...

Until Miyamoto had to go and rettcon everything...

> (Heir to Throne, Son) > (Leader of Chief Army) > Whoever's next in the Koopaling Line > 6 Koopalings Later > Koopa Kid (Koopa Clan, served Bowser for the most time after Koopalings) > Kamek (Head Honcho) > The Bowser Brigade (From the M&L Games)

You should really make a brief article clarifying that on Source Gaming, even if you gave it a brief mentioning in another article.

[Z25]

Time for another hypothetical:

Impa is made a fighter, and taking Hyrule Warriors inspiration ends up being a hybrid mix between Sheik and Ike. For those who main or frequently play the latter two, would you play Impa? Would you find her easy or difficult to use coming from Shike?

If this was how she played, I main the **** out of her. It's a style that works so well for her!

Huh...

Doesn't seem like Pitto got a lot of development time put into him...
Which is unfortunate considering how unique he is. :/

To be fair, Dark pit was never planned, they said alright we have time to make 3 clones instead of a new character. Let's see who can be done!

In the end Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, and Lucina were chosen. Dark Pit was never planned, so no actual unique moveset potential was made up when creating him, just let's reskin and change pit into himself basically.

And that olimar glitch is crazy but looks amazing.

And this is the best koopaling:

Looks like Etika is going to have a nutty sandwich.

I don't know how Sakurai could have made it more obvious.

[Frostwraith]

What you're actually looking for.

That game is actually published by Nintendo, curiously enough.

Still, I'd actually like to see how Sakurai would tackle manga/anime franchises in an actual Smash Bros. game. How would the characters be designed and stand out from each other, how would the stages be designed and how would other elements such as items, Assist Trophies, music and trophies be handled.

Even if it happened, it would probably stay in Japan given how it would be a licensing nightmare to release it elsewhere.

This isn't what happened, like at all.

Lucina, Dark Pit, and Dr. Mario were initially designed to be for Marth, Pit, and Mario what Alph and the Koopalings are to Olimar and Bowser Jr.; alt costumes.
Then they were separated because of gameplay differences implemented into the costumes.

I really wish translation teams would find SOME common ground with game canon. I mean, I'm not about to lose sleep over the true canonical consistancies of MARIO games, but still, stuff like this 20 years down the road is still kinda annoying.

It's the internet. Believe me when I say there are worse things Rosalina can be, and probably has been, shipped with than Bowser.

 

[NintenZ]

What's going on anymore...

 

[ChikoLad]

Didn't they say once that she had something related to Peach but it was written out of the story for unknown reasons?

At an early point in development, Rosalina was a one-level character and wasn't relevant to the overall story of Galaxy, but they did have a tidbit of her being Peach's sister. However, this version of Rosalina was created by Miyamoto and also had a completely different design that was much more closely a resemblance to Peach, so she was essentially a completely different character.

The decision to completely overhaul the character and make her a major part of the game was made quite late in development, along with including Lumas (before Lumas, they had "Cosmic Toads" which were Toads with Stars on their head instead of polka-dots, indicating they were not residents of the Mushroom Kingdom). However, the current, final version of Rosalina was not created by Miyamoto, but by Yoshiaki Koizumi (current producer of the Mario franchise, and was a director on Super Mario Galaxy. However, prior to Galaxy, his most notable development role was working on Zelda games, most known for being the scenario writer for Majora's Mask. That's why Rosalina as a character and her backstory feels more like something from that game than a Mario game). This decision did result in certain things being scrapped. Starship Mario was originally going to be the hub of Galaxy 1, but then they made Rosalina's Observatory instead since it made more sense at this point to give her a place to call home. Also, certain cutscenes in Galaxy, were originally just part of Rosalina's storybook, but were made into full-on cutscenes, apparently.

Only because you're making it one, to be frank.

But
Dark Pit is LITERALLY Pit with an Attitude Adjustment.
KI:U says so, that's why he's called Pittoo. He's PIT-TWO.
Smash says so, that's why his blurb in the Milestones for when you unlock him is "Dark Pit, the flawed clone of Pit, has joined the Battle!"
Note the "FLAWED CLONE" part.

Ok, I know that, but I didn't mean for that statement to seem that incorrect. They were clones as alts essentially, but their physical differences separated them.Either way, they were never meant to be anything but clones even if they could be unique.

And if they were planned, then they should have definitely fixed that damn css.

0/10 no Pokemon Representation.

JK. Overall a good roster, though I disagree with having Saitama, Light, and Kirito relegated to DLC. If anything focus on adding reps to the already existing franchises represented. I understand why DBZ and Naruto have the amount of characters they do, but I think One Piece should be scaled down to 2-3 characters, and Gurren Lagan to 1. I'd also personally like to see Sadou Maou from the Devil is a Part-Timer, Grey from Fairy Tail, and Rin and Yukio from Blue Exorcist. I'm also serious about that Pokemon Representation. If you have Digimon, you gotta have Pokemon.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

What you're actually looking for.

I was expecting someone to bring this up.lol

 

[ChikoLad]

Also, discussing Mario story canon is almost an impossible task. lol Those games aren't focused on story and they just make up stuff whenever it's convenient.

Unrelated to anything being discussed here: the OP of Noragami Aragoto is just amazing.

Not in relation to just core characterisation. That stuff is generally consistent. Like I said in regards to Rosalina, save for one localisation error on the UK version of the MK8 website in regards to Baby Rosalina, Nintendo have specifically avoided calling Rosalina a princess while always deliberately prefacing Peach, Daisy, and Zelda's names with "Princess". Meaning she flat out isn't one, not to mention she has never been called one in-game. And she most likely would have introduced herself as one if she was one too. Her crown is just for aesthetic appeal, nothing more.

And there actually is a degree of Mario canon. While not every game can fit (like SMB3 as it's literally a stage play which Miyamoto recently flat out confirmed), there are a fair few that link together perfectly fine and have direct references to each other:

-There is actually a timeline for the Mario VS DK/original Donkey Kong games. Not all of them but a good number of them. And since the most recent games in the Mario VS DK series have references to Mushroom Kingdom residents, that means Mario can travel between the Mushroom Kingdom and his original home (assumed to be Brooklyn by most).

-In Sunshine, when Mario first meets FLUDD, when FLUDD is scanning Mario and giving out info on who he is, you can see a video feed of SMB1, SMW, and SM64 in the corner of the screen. This means that FLUDD has documented data of Mario's adventures in those games, meaning they did actually happen and they do predate Sunshine. Furthermore, there is a reference to Luigi's Mansion in Sunshine (FLUDD being made by E. Gadd, whom Luigi helps in those games), and Luigi's Mansion 2 is obviously a sequel to the original.

-Galaxy 1 and 2 are obviously connected, I don't need to explain that. But Galaxy 2 has direct references to 64 and Sunshine, so once again, the Galaxy games actually DO take place after those previous games.

 

[Burruni]

Well. Finally beat Xenoblade X.

Without spoiling anything of the ending. I'm just stating one thing I've been saying since early impressions:

Cross isn't the main character. It's truly Elma. Cross is just a Type B My Unit that the story happens around without doing any real thing to drive the plot.

It isn't a situation. Cross's existance or actions don't have any real impact on the story and just a means to include the player.

That said, a shame it'll be too old by Smash 5 and most likely we won't be getting Xenoblade X-2 between now even if they decide to do a direct sequel to try to handle all the damn plot holes and loose ends it leaves.....

I may do a full review-type post of it later.

I think you are still misunderstanding what I mean.

I honestly couldn't care less if I saw simple risqué fanart of LudwigxRosalina...and in regards to BowserxRosalina, that stuff is a bit of a guilty pleasure. And in general, people can ship what they want.

There are just certain kinds of things I don't like to see, especially featuring Rosalina, and for some reason, a lot of LudwigxRoslina fanart lately has been of that nature (and in general, I run into a lot of creepy fetish art involving Rosalina, people just seem so against the idea of her being able to stand up for herself and what not).

For example, around Halloween, I saw shipping fanart of the two that was like a stalker vampire Ludwig sucking Rosalina's blood (trying to make her his queen or something) while she was asleep while touching her inappropriately and with her showing clear discomfort, while Lemmy kills a Luma and drinks from it.

**** like that is just weird and unpleasant and creepy. And it's the only reason why Ludwig at all is a prominent thought in my mind. That was all I was saying initially.

To be fair to Cross, sidequests ramp up their importance (as your choices do matter quite a bit in them). The game makes it pretty clear from the start that your character is just along for the ride in the main plot though, yeah.

For that reason alone I believe they were handled better than Robin.

Yes. But I meant more into the impact of the story. What ripples you make in side quests can change things out noticably over the course of the entire game.

And Robin/Corrin are... basically a different kind of character altogether.

With "My Unit" customizable avatars when it comes to playable characters, there are two main ways that they are handled.

A: Characters that the character makes, but are largely handled by the game in terms of personality. Moreso it being your version of a character than a characterization of yourself. Of course, being prime examples but even to a similar extent your variant of Revan in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

B: A character whom the plot happens around and you make in just about every means. The best example I can give off the top of my head is any user in an MMO.

Also.
