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

[A Distant Demon]

Battleblock last night was absolutely glorious and I hope you saw it.

Ive missed most of AGDQ for various reasons
I am piiiiiiiiiised I missed KH and Hat in Time but at I dont think ill be missing too many things after this.

Was sephiroth fight funded?

FE Fates brought back the Witch class as DLC

My plan is to have an entire army of Maids, Witches and Butlers

 

[Wario Bros.]

So I think I'll try to make a list of M-rated games Nintendo published or collaborated with to make counter arguments that & are "too mature".

Here's what I got so far:

Published
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GameCube)
Geist (GameCube)
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (Wii U)
Bayonetta (Wii U)
Bayonetta 2 (Wii U)
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water (Wii U)
Devil's Third (Wii U)

Collaborated
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GameCube)
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (3DS)

Any I missed? Cameos in M-rated are allowed only if it was approved by Nintendo.

Well there was Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Yes.
It'll be uploaded in a day or two.
YOU NEED TO SEE BATTLEBLOCK THOUGH BECAUSE OF THINGS I WISH NOT TO SPOIL

And using them as live bait as you run for your lives because Lin used Trash Talk at the wrong time and aggro'd a level 50 giant enemy while you're fending off against a small cluster of 30s.

THIS IS INCREDIBLY TRUE.
The amount of times I've been one-shot by a docile level 50 monster because Lin talks too much ****...literally.

Especially funny if because she's my tank...so she is almost always the only survivor of her antics. And if somehow I get away...she will be following me...with everything she aggro'd in tow.

...It probably took me way too long to realize Trash Talk doesn't target one enemy.

That's why I got rid of Trash Talk AND gave myself Shadowrunner. It makes you invisible to most enemies, so I can ACUALLY flee with it!

 

[Chrono.]

Best tool to avoid aggroing: Blood Sacrifice -> Shadowrunner

Though that's only if you're a Winged Viper/FMJ

All this XCX talk makes me sure I'll feel right in home when I play it :^)

 

[A Distant Demon]

So I have been trying to get my dog to react and come (get your head out of the gutter) when I call.

Tried multipple things and I FINALLY found what he reacts to. . .

Whistling the tune of All star from smashmouth.
Dammit dog. ..

There are like 100 versions of this joke for a reason

Spoiler: big image.

 

[powerprotoman]

so you know how people were saying #FE bombed because it only sold 26K in its first week? turns out because of when it released its "first week" was actually its first DAY

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I...I...I don't know how to react to this...

Maybe Disney took that image a little too seriously.

Cult of casual?

"Filthy Casuals" is the only reaction you need.

I was, but I switched to the noob class because I like assault rifles.
...And giant swords...

Unrelated, but I really like the Fashion Gear feature of this game. I wish everyone RPG had it.
Mainly Dark Souls.

However, the fact you can't have fashion weapons is really disappointing though. My all-black protagonist doesn't look very cool with GIANT GLOWING PURPLE CHAINSAW SWORD.

If you remove rules 11 and 13 seem competitive brawl in a nutshell.

 

[Deleted member]

I...I...I don't know how to react to this...

This is so, so sad
The best rules are "no spiking", "no gimping" and "you can only playvas one character, FOREVER"
"No taunting. It makes other feel bad"
Where did you find this?

I visit a meme gallery, some poor soul found it and put it on the Smash gallery

 

[Shroob]

FE Fates brought back the Witch class as DLC

That is all.

Lmao what is this?

It was alright but then spiraled into really stupid territory the second I read number 6. It only go worse from there...

You just lost all the respect I had for you

Well there was Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Taking quick look, Rare was the developer and publisher for Conker's Bad Fur Day (though it was published by THQ in Europe).

Don't see Nintendo anywhere.

I just went by this

They liscenced the game.

And let this happen.

The only envolvement nintendo had on the game was thumbing up the release.
Is like saying mortal kombat and Carmageddon 64 are from nintendo.

 

[Fenriraga]

I...I...I don't know how to react to this...

Good gravy, I ran a Smash Club at my high school with all sorts of casual players showing up and even they weren't THAT "Exclusive" with their matches...

Oh man, that's the class line I trained up in.

I need to equip this stuff to my arts.

 

[Chrono.]

To be fair, it's an exclusive title (up until the Xbox rerelease) from Rare. It's reasonable to think they published it

 

[Wario Bros.]

And let this happen.

1) All third party games are licensed
2) And there's tons and tons of games (not just Nintendo platforms) that make a reference or pokes fun at Nintendo property.

Nothing new.

Yeah.
I didn't mean anything else.
I was just citing that as the only involvement.

 

[Chrono.]

I'm kinda mixed on FMJ because I'm so used to dealing huge amounts of damage as a Duelist and Galactic Knight that I feel so weak (plus on FMJ I need to mind my positioning if I want to max out damage)

But that combo is good for avoiding mobs till you reach a high level or cap (especially in places like Noctilum and Cauldros).

 

[Cutie Gwen]

My casual af friends recently tried banning 2 characters. Cloud, because they think he's OP when I use him, and Corrin, because they are salty as ****

 

[Fenriraga]

Well, I guess since we're FAQing Chronicles now...

Anyone know what the best grinding spot is for 50-60? I know a general strategy is to find high level but small monsters and kick them around with your Skell, but I'm running out of decent places to do that. :V

Divine Roost worked for me.

There's 3 lv 60 Dilus indigens that give out decent EXP. The real meat is on the far right of it, there's a cliff (called Sentinel's Nest) with a bunch of lv 63 Aerviters, just grind off them and you should be lv 60 in no time.

Just don't touch the Aerviter close to a treasure chest, it's a lv80-something Tyrant.

Alternatively: use a Lv50 Phoenix you can get in the shop, go inside the giant flower and kill Joker (a lv90 Blatta Tyrant) and his lackeys. Though beware, his evasion rate is kinda high (use Insectoid Slayer XX augments too)

 

[Coricus]

I...I...I don't know how to react to this...

Oh man. . .I remember this making the rounds a while back.

I'm actually OK with rule #3 existing in some play circles, as the Smash community is kinda. . .not classy at all normally, but most of these rules are downright controlling , psychotic, Johning, salty madness.

Also what's the point of even banning characters and stages if you have items on, come to think of it? Or banning Pokeballs but not Assist Trophies? This is clearly a bunch of casuals, but they act like they have some kind of competitive ruleset in mind.

And considering how stupid Rules #1 and #2 are, the club probably died almost instantaneously. There is no WAY you can maintain a niche community without allowing fluid, walk-in participation. People leave this kind of stuff too often to be picky.

 

[Kenith]

Speaking of grinding in Xenoblade X.
I found an excellent spot for late lv. 20-early 30 grinding.

A single, Lv. 39-40 Grex. He wasn't terrible hard to beat and I got a massive amount of EXP for killing it.
Like, 1000+ each time.

Only one problem.
It's on a land bridge and he falls off every single time.

 

[Coricus]

XCX grinding?

Kill two of the three Petramands near the Mount M'gando fast travel point in Cauldros if you want to grind in your 40's. The third one up the mountain aggros a couple of Blattas that just waste time, so don't bother with that one.
