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

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

X-23 became the new Wolverine?

Yep...

Spoiler: Something something Death of Wolverine spoilers

...Cause Logan is six feet under covered in adamantium.

 

[Burruni]

fixed.

Seriously, the PSP did well in sales, but the big reason it did was because of CFW.

I thought it was largely unsuccessful outside Japan.
-shrugs-
The Vita's still everything wrong with the PSP but worse.
Except for the Dreamcast level AUDIBLE DISC SPINNING

I knew that. Or at least that Logan was out of the picture.
I was just unaware his Rule 63 clone/adoptive daughter took up the mantle afterwards.

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 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.


Another Sawano fan, I see.

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.

I'm gonna try to do one
For Kiyo and Zatch
I spent too much time doing this actually

Spoiler

They would probably work a little bit like Duck Hunt(two models in one hitbox), with Kiyo and Zatch always working in synch
Specials would obviously be the spells
They would have a hidden "stamina" aka Heart Energy
Specials and other moves that use book spells use it and repeated use of spells will make them weaker until the point the spell will fail and they'll have to wait sometime for it to recharge
Smash attacks would involve Zakeru(thus draining from the Heart Energy)
Tilts would have Kiyo punching and kicking stuff
Aerials would be mixed with some attacks from both
Zakeruga would be the Neutral Special working similar to Robin's Thoron and being a good shield breaker at max power
Side-Special would be Zaguruzemu, a ball of lighting is thrown that travels at moderate speed, when it connects with an opponent, they'll start glowing.
An opponent hit by Zaguruzemu will receive more damage from lighting based moves(such as Pikachu's attacks) though the effect will disappear after being hit once
It can be stacked up to 3 uses, boosting the damage done
Up-Special would be Rauzaruku, vasically Lucario's Extreme Speed but instead glowing yellow
And Kiyo holding onto Zatch for Rule of Funny
Down Special would be Rashirudo, being a reflector that would also add lighting damage to it(and thus be able to get a boost from an opponent hit by Zaguruzemu
Finally, Final Smash would obviously be Bao Zakeruka
Working kind like Samus's Zero Laser
Except, you know, it's a giant dragon made of lighting
Make sure to get that Zaguruzemu in before using it for the overkill

Funny thing is, even after making X-23 Wolverine, they brought Old Man Logan from another universe into the main one:

So much for being "dead" lol

But of course.
Logan is too important to be rid of permanently. So just kill off the current one and then bring in some alternate universe counterpart so that they can technically kill off Wolverine yet still have him around.

I'll take "What Family Guy basically did and pissed off the majority of their fanbase," for $500, Trebek!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Is that the popular thing these days?

Replace a popular hero with someone different but CALL them the same thing?

To be fair, they didn't bring in some alternate universe version of Brian. They just undid the event that resulted in his death.

But poor Vinnie....now he's stuck without an owner. Unless someone else got him and he just happens to be a side character's dog now.

It's a common trope.

 

[Parallel_Falchion]

Lucina is just Girl Marth.

Lucina is not just "girl Marth." She's a few thousand years his descendant. She merely takes his persona when she goes back in time, and it ends up dropped pretty quickly. She is completely her own character.

That's it.

I'd appreciate it if you did. Careful of the comments, as there be spoilers.

I converted it to both FLAC and MP3 just in case you have a preference.

"Copyright laws are written that the company owns a character up to 50 years after its creators death. For example, DC will lose the exclusive rights to superman in the next 20 some years.

Marvel on the other hand, still doesn't have to worry about this until almost the year 2060+ because of Stan's health."

That's actually mind blowing.

I wouldn't worry about that. The way the American system is stacked Disney will constantly fund new extensions and loopholes to that to keep a hold of all Mickey Mouse stuff. Hell they were forced to make merch of one of those old "hide it in the vault" toons to keep it from going public domain.

If this is true, then Mickey will go into public domain next year.
I don't thinks that's gonna happen so easily.

That is a pretty interesting list of champions. However...I was a little surprised to see Wario a double champion and Puff lightweight when I was aiming for her in the women's division. Must be a WWE thing at the moment lol

So if Superman is going to go into the public domain in 20 years, then Marvel could theoretically make a Superman movie and insert him into the MCU.

Okay, I was originally debating on sharing it, but I thought, "Em, why not?". So I saw an anime thing about these girls fighting over whose boobs were bigger... Take that as you will.

I mean Japan is just so weird...

I can top that.

A fighting game of a beloved series where one story is someone fighting off the forces of the underworld on a quest to not be a flat chested tsundere.

Edit:

12:53. That should say everything.

 

[Burb]

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

There's no argument going on, and nobody's bashing anyone's character picks. This is about people's refusal to let go of certain characters' failure to make the roster and accepting reality.

For there to be an argument, there has to be an opposing party present. Nobody's defending Etika's theory; everyone I've seen posting about it in this topic think it's stupid and delusional to still think we're getting Wolf after we were explicitly told that Bayonetta was the last DLC fighter.

The whole scenario is something a lot of us have been joking about before the last stream even occurred, and it's just a bit surreal to see that it's not only happening exactly as we predicted, but it's being promoted by one of the biggest personalities in the Smash community.

 

[NintenZ]

Um... Wow... Just... Huh... That's pretty out there... I didn't think that'd beat an anime about girls competing over whose breasts were bigger, but I found it... Somehow...

 

[Fenriraga]

@Swampasaur Marvel Vs Capcom Dream Rosters? Oooookay...

For the record, I'd bring back the Original 56 sans Servbot, and give Roll her TvC style of gameplay rather than a drastically inferior Mega Man Clone. so on that note, here's the remaining Seven for each side.

Marvel: Hawkeye, Deadpool, Nova, Falcon, Loki, Doc Oc, Rocket Racoon

Capcom: Monster Hunter and/or Palico, Harp Note (WHAT? ME, BIASED? NEVER), Zero, Amaterasu, Viewtiful Joe, Phoenix Wright, Dante

And yes, that leaves one left over... And for that leftover as a "Guest Star", Vader or some other Sith/Jedi, because HaHaDisneyOwnsThemBoth.


Oh. And by the way.

One step closer to Daisy, or even farther away? You decide! :V

Forget Daisy, I'm more interested in whether or not they're going to patch in support for Roy, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta.

I sorta doubt it, but still.

I kind of not want to see Daisy in SMM now just because it's so ****in' hilarious at this point.

It'd be nice to see at least. Honestly, with how many costumes they've added with these patches I don't think it's too out there to imagine the remaining DLC getting Mario Maker costumes at some point in the future.

The more important question... Will I get my Ryu and Bayonetta themed Wolly Yoshi?

...THAT is probably less likely. :V

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Tropes Are Not Bad

They aren't necessarily good either

But I didn't SAY they were bad

I just said I don't like it

 

[Burb]

Also, I don't think anything is a bigger blow to Daisy than the Sky Pop costume.

Super Mario Land was her debut game and her only major role in the series to date, and they picked Airplane Mario to represent it.

Yeah, I think Super Mario Maker is by far the most likely game to get support for the upcoming Smash DLC amiibo. It's already the only game that supports Mewtwo and Lucas, excluding the ones that give generic rewards to any amiibo.

I mean...

Edit:

Actually, Mewtwo had a costume in the game from the start. Lucas has one as well.

That's why I only mentioned Roy, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta. Theirs would have to be patched in, unlike Mewtwo and Lucas who had support for their amiibo from the game's release.

I've been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles X and I've got to say, Elma is perfect, just PERFECT, for Smash Bros!

Not discrediting any of that, but can I just point out how hilarious this is?

We've gone from fighter speculation to Mario Maker Costume speculation.

Oh, what a world, WHAT A WOOORLD.

Where's the Ridley and Wolf costume, some one have etika make a video explaining and hyper analyzing that please

I've been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles X and I've got to say, Elma is perfect, just PERFECT, for Smash Bros!

No really let's not open that can of worms please...

To be fair, Smash speculation is basically over. All that's really left to discuss is details about the final wave of DLC in February, and there's not even much room for that, since we were told pretty much everything there is to know about it.

Super Mario Maker's updates are still ongoing. We don't know everything, and given how long Smash and Splatoon were supported, there's a good chance it's not going to end anytime soon.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

Comic books are quite difficult for me to pick up. I just know the key figures of both DC and Marvel - Batman, Superman, the Justice League... The Avengers, the X-Men, Spider Man, Deadpool... Sometimes there's no real context if you just pick up a random volume unless you know what's transpired in all the previous comics.

As for who I want to see in MVC4 (What a day that'll be)
Phoenix Wright, Venom, Deadpool, Saki (The girl with the cannon from Tatsunoko VS Capcom), Strider Hiryu, Gambit... I think that's all the veterans I need.

 

[Coricus]

I've been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles X and I've got to say, Elma is perfect, just PERFECT, for Smash Bros!

Let's wait for a sequel first before we hit the bandwagon, shall we?

The game has a sequel hook, let's see if Nintendo bites before we ask for Xenoblade to get a second character.

Granted, after seeing the Full Metal Jaguar class for myself I'm not nearly as miffed at the idea as I was before playing the game, but I'd rather not jump the gun and risk even more people crying "anime bias!!!11!"
