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

[wildvine47]

Man it is really sad when Mario and Sonic Rio Olympics has a better cast of Mario characters than pretty much any Mario-only spinoff nowadays.

I do think the absence of the remaining Koopalings/Deadly Six members is odd, as they seem like perfect rivals to match up against each other. Getting characters like Sticks and Zazz over Big and Charmy on Sonic's side is weird too, especially as Big and Charmy were previously boss/judge characters who had working models.

Have they said that this is the final roster for Rio 2016? Cause if not I could see it being the case that the remainder are unlockable.

 

[ChikoLad]

I might see if I can start Woolly World now.

And tomorrow I will likely get Mega Yarn Yoshi and Codename STEAM.

 

[Burruni]

I'm kinda stuck at the final boss atm so I have yet to see what happens.

Hopefully I'll be done by tonight tho

I was at Level 56, as was Lin and Elma. Xeno Girl at 55.
I STILL required to lower the difficulty of the final boss because of all the damn minions it spawns across the duration of the last phase.

Really disappointed in the quality of the finale in comparison to Zanza.

 

[Champ Gold]

The thing about the Smash community is there's too many arguments that go everywhere. Not to mention the everlasting immaturity called "salt". We all know Sakurai loves to troll with us and he done it multiple times. Smash has gotten to the point to where it's becoming toxic to the point of pointless arguments happen over characters fans cry for (Ridley, K Rool, etc), and why veterans need to come back. Not to mention we've all done our fair share of lasting out at some point (some of you maybe remember my f-bombs on Robin being revealed lmao) and it's now ridiculous. Would be nice if we all took a break from the series for awhile to let all the toxic out



I hope and swear to God that this never happens. It'll throw all the concept of video game only characters out of the window and this is why I can't take fan requests seriously. I have a feeling this was how Bayo got in the game


And with Smashboards, we need Smash Champions.

What we need is the following...


SSB World Champion
SSB International Champion
SSB United States Champion
SSB Japan Champion
SSB European Champion
SSB Xtreme Champion
SSB Coin Champion
SSB Time Champion
SSB Lightheavyweight Champion
SSB Women's Champion
SSB World Tag Team Champions
SSB Lightheavyweight Tag Team Champions
SSB Women's Tag Team Champions
SSB Mixed Tag Team Champions


Boom

SSB World Champion

SSB International Champion

SSB United States Champion

SSB Japan Champion

SSB European Champion

SSB Xtreme Champion

SSB Coin Champion

SSB Time Champion

SSB Lightheavyweight Champion

SSB Women's Champion

SSB World Tag Team Champions

SSB Lightheavyweight Tag Team Champions

SSB Women's Tag Team Champions

SSB Mixed Tag Team Champions


So what do I win?

 

[epicmartin7]

Here's another statement by him.

The thing that's got me kind of curious about this, is the fact that it mentions a "big event". Most likely a Direct I presume, but its weird they'd just label it as a "big event".

 

[Z25]

So, Nintendo maybe gearing up to be making a huge Legend of Zelda announcement soon.
(http://gamerpros.co/rumor-nintendo-supposedly-preparing-huge-legend-zelda-announcement/)

This stems from a leaked video some people are claiming to have of the said Zelda Announcement, even though they didn't say what it outright says. Mostly due to them saying it's incomplete.

This is has also prompted speculation that a Nintendo Direct might be in the works for January 2016 as it mentions a "big event".

EDIT: The website also says to have the video in their possession.

Reading it sounds a lot like a new zelda and not zelda U.

Actually if I had to guess it focuses on Zelda U and a new Wind Waker Or Toon Link Title that will reboot the franchise almost, and possibly incorporate Linkle. Sounds interesting for sure.

So if multiple people have this, who Wants to bet it gets leaked?

 

[Arcanir]

On the note of Zelda, would anyone like to play the first few levels of Triforce Heroes with me? I want to play it through the multiplayer since that's the main focus of the game and I'd like to try it out with you guys.

 

[Opossum]

I have to wonder whether or not this has to do with that rumored Zelda Netflix series.

 

[Chrono.]

We got the same team (we kinda have to but anyway)

Guess I'll just keep grinding then. I'm level 51 atm and I did well against the first two phases just fine on foot... then the barrier happened and all my teammates were dead lol

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If they are making a new Zelda I wouldn't mind another top down like Link's awakening and junk

 

[Z25]

I have to wonder whether or not this has to do with that rumored Zelda Netflix series.

the face means this is a joke right?
(not trying to be mean)
because that was confirmed fake a long time ago.

Hiroyuki Sawano is a god among men.

But seriously, how he manages to pack so much pathos into a single song with not so great English lyrics is beyond me.

It's a shame the original version of this song is currently restricted:

Sorry, I just really didn't like his fishing levels from Adventure, they were the absolute bottom of the barrel for an otherwise really solid game.

Speaking of manga/anime characters and Smash, some ideas of mine for character designs/gameplay concepts.

Spoiler: There might be some spoilers here!

Son Goku - Dragon Ball
Not even a DBZ fan, but come on, having no Goku in a manga X Smash Bros. game would be like not having Mario in a main Smash game.
Anyway, he would essentially be Mario+Cloud with some similarities to Ryu. Basic, easy-to-learn jack-of-all-trades character, except he could charge a power bar to improve his moves a bit. Down special would charge the power bar and turn him into SSJ mode, improving his power temporarily. Up special would have him warp and float for a bit and the neutral special would be his iconic Kamehameha, a chargeable projectile like Samus's Charge Shot.

Eren Yaeger - Attack on Titan
Dual sword wielder plus a steam powered jet and latching wires! Some similarities to Pit's dual wielding would be obvious. A trained soldier, he would have a good balance of speed and power, the swords having moderate range. The latching wires could serve as a tether recovery, with the steam jet being material for a recovery up special. The Final Smash would have him transform into a Titan to wreck the opposition. Perhaps, the Titan form would have to be scaled down...

Edward Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist
Alchemy powers and his prosthetic metal arm give much room for creative moves. In that sense he could be a sort of "Swiss army knife" character in a similar vein as Mr. Game & Watch and Bowser Jr., having multiple shapes for his moves. He could also manipulate the ground: a down smash attack could be raising two pillars from the ground, one on front of him and another in the back.

Rin Okumura - Blue Exorcist
An half-demon katana wielder wreathed in blue flames. Kind of like Roy in the sense that he would combine swordplay and fire for a flashy fighting style. The sword blows could leave trails of fire that could serve as additional, though weaker, hitboxes. Neutral special move: Satan Slash, in which a flame blade-shaped projectile is fired using his sword, similar to Cloud's neutral special move. His down smash could be him stabbing the sword on the ground and form a blast of blue flames, hitting foes in an area.

Maka & Soul - Soul Eater
Soul Eater has the concept of people transforming into weapons for others to wield them. In this case, Maka is the one wielding Soul, who transforms into a scythe. Scythes are huge weapons and they would rely on attacking on a high range. Think like Marth except you have a bigger sour spot and more distance. Because a scythe is huge, for balancing purposes, they would be a slower, but powerful, fighter.

Yato & Yukine - Noragami
Similar to the above, except Yukine is a dual katana, each blade having a different size. Yato wields the bigger katana on his right hand and the smaller katana on a reverse grip on his left hand. A multi hit attacker, most of their moves would consist in two hits. Focus on speed with a lower than average attack power. In addition to this, Yukine, as a divine weapon, possesses powers such as Restraint to bind a foe in one place or Boundary, originally a defensive wall, but for Smash gameplay, it could serve as a reflector with a pushing effect, similar to Palutena's Reflect.

Ryuko Matoi - Kill la Kill
Though her scissor blade acts much like a sword, a way to make her stand out is having her use the abilities of her uniform Senketsu. In addition to one of its forms that has jets for a recovery move, Senketsu possesses the particularity of consuming Ryuko's blood to function, which would serve as the inspiration for a unique special move and mechanic. Using said special move, Ryuko could sacrifice 10~20% of her damage to power-up her moves temporarily. This move could be used repeatedly to extend the length of this upgrade, costing 10~20% of damage for each use. Her Final Smash would involve the the two scissor halves for a finishing blow.

Staz Charlie Blood - Blood Lad
An otaku vampire? Yep. And this guy could borrow some moves from other characters (such as Goku's Kamehameha) and generally act in a self-aware, fanboy-like manner. Think Street Fighter IV's Seth with vampire abilities, including biting opponents to suck their % (similar to Robin's Nosferatu). In addition, he's shown using magic abilities, which would naturally be incorporated into his moves somehow, even if only for aesthetic purposes. The Final Smash would be his move Heart Constriction: ZIP in which he grabs foes in a determined range and as if crushing a physical object, he would crush their hearts. Of course, this being a Smash moveset, this would mean a finishing move with insane knockback. A special move, Chew-Chew Drain, would have him bite an opponent and leave one of his teeth attached, sucking life at a distance temporarily. To represent his resilience as a vampire, he would be a heavyweight fighter, downplaying his agility a bit for balancing purposes.

I hope and swear to God that this never happens. It'll throw all the concept of video game only characters out of the window and this is why I can't take fan requests seriously. I have a feeling this was how Bayo got in the game

I was thinking more on a spin-off rather than inserting anime/manga characters in a Smash game.

Basically take the Smash Bros. formula (gameplay and content), but instead of using Nintendo and some 3rd party video game IPs, use anime/manga franchises.

And yes, he is an awesome composer. I greatly enjoy his work.

I could just dump a ton of my favorite songs from him here, but I've done so before on this thread and I've already spent over an hour writing this post.

You know, (I know a lot of people are going to hate me for this) but I always thought it would be interesting to see either Kirito or Asuna from SAO in Smash, as Kirito would have Dual-weilding, and Asuna would have that OP sheild-break thing. I think they'd be fun.

Anyways, the Zelda Rumor is very interesting to say at least. We'll have to wait and see where it goes. I'm excited by the prospect that its tied to this "big event". Usually when multiple rumors start coming out from all kinds of different sources, that's usually a sign a Nintendo Direct is on the horizon. It happened with the one in November and one in April. So I think this is just the tip of the iceberg and I bet we'll se a direct next month.

Like I said, we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[NintenZ]

Here's how Asuna could play,

What else do you associate with big events?

 

[Deleted member]

Wait, people have used the term Waifu/Husbando seriously? This is new to me.(I know, surprising coming from me of all people. )

Hey, here's a thing.

Make a new Marvel vs Capcom roster.

70 characters. 35 on each side. Go.

This is just off the top of my head, no one attack me. No specific order.


Marvel: Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Deadpool, Bob agent of hydra, Iron man, Spiderman, Rocket Racoon, Venom, Dr strange, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Sentinel, Magneto, Dr doom, Magneto, Storm, Wolverine, Dormammu, Blackheart, Shuma Gorath, Thanos, Taskmaster, Shehulk, Lizard, M.O.D.O.K, Pheonix, Nova, Iron fist, Dr octopus, Ultron, Gambit, Loki, Juggernaut, Cyclops.

Tried my hardest to not include tons of SF/Darkstalkers characters... Meanwhile, I have TOO many characters to choose from on marvel's half.
