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

[Chrono.]

Well, you don't play as Dark Pit, in story mode

Spoiler

Actually do, in Chapter 22.

EDIT: Looks like I didn't need to tell them considering everyone 'd me into oblivion

I believe the one thing no one could even predict was 8-Player Smash because it was something that I don't think crossed ANYONE'S MIND and it was the greatest feature for Smash Wii U.



And funny thing about it was that we should have seen this coming when was in the game.


Plus like I said, debunking Tower of Smash has been my best accomplishment for Smash speculation due to the sole fact it showed me how desperate Smash fans were so hard. Which why crap like this exist http://youtu.be/CmsoJe6lQyc

This is why Source gaming exists. I learn facts and information from this awesome website. It helped me warn about certain things to keep in mind. About Bowser Jr. and 8-player smash, they almost got dropped from development. Glad both are in the game because they are very fun to play. Never in my wildest dreams we would have up to 8 players and Bowser Jr. makes since. 8 player smash is one of the best features in smash. I played this mode the most since I got all the challenges. Glad this mode exist, since nothing much you can do in other modes after you got all the challenges.

Eh, at least Etika says multiple times at the start how he's aware he's delusional about it.

 

[Opossum]

Mentioning Mr. Hanafuda really brought me back down memory lane though. Times were different then. Not quite Burger Knight or Debatemania level, but it's somewhere close.

The thread, for those not in the know.

 

[PushDustIn]

Data mining actually spoiled the 8 player Smash and "Smash Tour" before their announcement. I remember I organized a translation of all the sound files and the Italian version made "Smash Tour" sound like a board game.

Good times.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Oh really, I didn't remember that

I did remember Magnus though

 

[Opossum]

There was also a chapter in which you played as a random dog.




That one always stuck out.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

All predicted for the base game.

 

[FalKoopa]

Of the innumerable ideas Blue supported, Mr. Hanafuda was the only thing that really caught my eye.

I actually know how to play Hanafuda now. It's a fun little card game.

I loved it how Data Mining supported those things but supported the "Smash World/Tower of Smash" leaks.

And in the end, Amazon killed the leaks.


8-Player Smash was something so baffling that it had to be real in sense that the Wii U had 7-8 different controller options for it (Wii U pro Controller 4 lyfe).

Isn't that the same chapter as Magnus?

 

[Inawordyes]

I never really made any predictions that I can remember, but way back when my Top 5 most wanted newcomers were Toad, Shulk, Dillon, Robin, and Wonder Red (in that order), with my Too 10 being rounded out in no particular order with Palutena, K. Rool, and the Triple S's in Sami, Skull Kid, and Sukapon. So to get as fighters and Dillon and Skull Kid as AT's is acceptable to me. I don't play any of them that much though haha - I always was and always will be an Ike main, though I've been getting better with Shulk.

I really wish Toad hasn't been passed over again though - hopefully he's a headliner in 5mash along with Inklings!

I'll never forget that little box of cards with cartoon arms and legs....

DON'T

what's burger knight though

also does anyone remember when people supported non-specific action figure

Im 90% sure that Amazon description was before the Smash Tour/World of Smash audio files!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I like how the box for my Chicken wings says: 100% whole breast white meat

 

[Inawordyes]

On that note, (and if this ends up being a double post, I apologize, but I felt it deserves its own message and would get drowned out a bit as an edit to the above)

How many here actually play and/or main the newcomers they most wanted to see in the game?

Toad's still my #1 most wanted, but I don't think I'd even play Toad if he came haha. Still, I'd love to see him be able to be in the game, same with how I felt about Shulk and Robin (the latter especially with all the Chrom support; Robin's reveal was the first time I literally screamed out loud in happiness at a character reveal because I wanted him so badly but everybody convinced me he would never happen because Chrom was more likely)

 

[Chrono.]

also does anyone remember when people supported non-specific action figure

Yeah because he was a really forced meme.

(same for Reckless Safety Guy)

 

[Deleted member]

....I can't believe there was a time I actually supported the idea of Mr. Hanafuda now that I look back at the thread.....
Sometimes past me disappoints present me.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm pretty sure Non specific action figure was only supported ironically

No one really wanted him

Side note; why is it that when it comes to Capcom crossovers they treat Darkstalkers like it's bigger than it really is?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Sounds like Miis.

I know I wanted them legit. I love the idea of a Create-A-Fighter.

One of my favorite additions overall. I'd have liked more options, but this isn't bad either.

 

[aldelaro5]

I said Cloud was the most likely FF character. So...do I get an Internet cookie?

I wasn't very active pre-release speculation so I can't claim to have predicted anything before they were revealed.

I did think Black Pit was a boss on Palutena's Temple though. That was actually my first posts on SmashBoards since 2007.

I did predict, and told you guys that we wouldn't get a lot of DLC. I also correctly stated that Wolf wasn't a shoo-in, and not coming back...against all odds.

Also, my Ultimate Smash Poll ended the day before Smash DLC was announced. I'm essentially a prophet. It's confirmed guys.

no you deserve better.....

.....here's a Zess cookie

(yes it is from TTYD )

 

[Coricus]

You VASTLY underestimate the level of crazy this species is capable of.

 

[Chrono.]

Side note; why is it that when it comes to Capcom crossovers they treat Darkstalkers like it's bigger than it really is?

I'm guessing it's because it's Capcom's 2nd most successful fighting game franchise (that isn't a crossover) and it's characters were rather iconic in a sense.

Also, while Darkstalkers ended up being a dud itself, a lot of the mechanics became staples in fighters and even crossed over to SF and other Capcom vs titles.

 

[Shroob]

I must admit, I'm jaded as hell against the Miis....

Because I forced myself to get all the hats legit.

I swear to god if I ever lose my data, I'm powersaving that ****. Ain't nothing fun about randomly getting a random hat out of over 40 when there's only a handful that you need.

 

[Champ Gold]

You mean like most other joke request like Reckless Safety Guy, the e-shop bag and Adam Malkovich

 

[FalKoopa]

Well, Blue's argument for him was compelling. Hanafuda is a big part of the company's history.

I don't think anyone expected a Hanafuda based character to actually be box with MS Paint limbs though.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You mean like most other joke request like Reckless Safety Guy, the e-shop bag and Adam Malkovich

The best joke request will always be Magikarp

Completely agreed. I love the Miis, but hate how hard it is to get all the custom stuff.

 

[PushDustIn]

Ok new challenge guys.

Let me know when Sakurai has ever lied, and I'll research it.

It's better if you PM me, or send me a message on Twitter so I can keep better track of it.

 

[Shroob]

Completely agreed. I love the Miis, but hate how hard it is to get all the custom stuff.

From most difficult to least difficult, I'd grade it like this:

Mii hats >>> Smash Run Powers >>> Mii Outfits >>> Custom Moves >>> Trophies

At least on the 3DS. Custom Moves are easy to farm on the 3DS. I also always end up with all the Mii Outfits without much problem... It's the hats that are a pain.

Never mind that many hats are locked behind challenges. At least Smash Run helps a bit. Also, completely destroyed it with Cloud the other day. Most fun part is that I brought in Ganondorf with no equipment or powers, and still owned it. Albeit, this was early on before some(or all?) patches...

I think the most annoying challenge hats are ones you need to beat a specific thing like, say, Classic with everyone. It's tedious.

Don't you dare mention that joke that went too far.

And then once you unlock said hats, they get thrown into the drop list for even more added frustration.

Are you going to also ask this on GameFAQs?

That crowd seems to bring this topic up a lot, so it might get you more research opportunities.

I'm trying to figure out who kept pushing that idea?
