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

[Cutie Gwen]

So, basically every Pokemon in OU?

This would be useful if he could survive, sure Protect exists but that gives you one stage boost only

This ends up being player dependant
Which means skill comes into play
Having to predict your oponent's moves is something that shouldn't be considered "unfair"

This one I can understand, but then again, why didn't they just ban Perish Song on Gengar instead of a whole Pokemon?

I loved how everyone got so salty abput this thing
I always got my *** destroyed by her but instead of whining I tried to make counter strategies

It's a shame any strong physical move takes him down in one hit though

I can say this isn't true from personal experience
Earthquake and Fire Blast are two of the most common moves and are safe on King's Shield, considering Aegislash can't focus on both Special and Physical(unless someone goes for defensiveslash which is just dumb) one of them is bound to take him out

King's Shield takes up a slot, always
The rest is going to be 3 out of these 4
Ghost stab/Steel stab/Swords Dance/Sacred Sword
It's the one of the easiest Pokemon to predict

Hard to do that with alp those bans tho


Same as last time, except you evolved
For those who don't remember(nicknames as they are ingame)
Oni333(Luxray)+Sonomura(Buneary)
Megalon72(Kirlia)+Pokechu(Leafeon)
ChampBlack(Golbat)+CyberHyper(Scyther)

You seem unaware of a MAJOR detail. The banned Mons had an answer to almost EVERYTHING in it's tier. Greninja outclassed EVERY OU mon outside of Porygon2. What's better? Every team running those 2, or Greninja getting moved to a higher tier so that the game can be more customized. Before Garchomp was banned, every team had Garchomp, it's only a counter, a counter to that, more counters, and 1 wildcard

So why isn't Porygon2 banned instead?

getting moved to a higher tier so that the game can be more customized.

HOW IS BANNING POKEMON MAKING IT MORE CUSTOMIZABLE????

 

[Burruni]

So why isn't Porygon2 banned instead?

HOW IS BANNING POKEMON MAKING IT MORE CUSTOMIZABLE????

Removing one imbalanced fighter from a pool allows for teams to not have to require slot(s) for counters for such a powerhouse.

That's straight MOBA 101.

 

[Deleted member]

So why isn't Porygon2 banned instead?

Because porygon2 is just a specific counter to greninja, specific counters don't control how the entire tier works, but a pokemon such as greninja does.

HOW IS BANNING POKEMON MAKING IT MORE CUSTOMIZABLE????

Very simple, it makes a lot more pokemon usuable by not having to build a whole team just to counter one pokemon.

 

[A Distant Demon]

One of thses days i will try pokemon'ss multiplayer instead of just singleplayer

Probably. Maybe.


Of course i can never help but compare competetive talk to LOL. . ."Buff jarvan guys. Totally useless and cant gank"
-people who led ganks with e+q

 

[Cutie Gwen]

So why isn't Porygon2 banned instead?

HOW IS BANNING POKEMON MAKING IT MORE CUSTOMIZABLE????

Porygon2 still had a handful of checks and counters. So did Greninja. Greninja was then given moves in ORAS which effectively made him LOSE almost all those checks and counters

If Greninja wasn't banned, every team would have Greninja, Porygon 2 and a check/counter to that. Half of your team would already be chosen if you wanted a chance at winning

So I found this. It's ethically wrong, but is freaking hilarious.
Yeah...

Finished the Wolfman concept for Swamp's monster fighter. Staying classy even during fisticuffs. And during a full moon.

Here's some Smash trivia for you to enjoy:
- Bandai Namco is the third-party company with the biggest amount of franchises represented somehow in Smash Bros., with a total of 22. Sega and Capcom only have 3 each, with Square Enix only having 1.
- Two Wii U-exclusive trophies, Frey and Freya, come from a Japan-only game called Zangeki no Reginleiv, which was the first Nintendo-published game to receive a CERO rating of D (equivalent to ESRB's M and PEGI's 18+), being one of the few mature franchises represented in Smash Bros. along with third-party series Metal Gear and Bayonetta.
- All third-party franchises with playable characters in Smash have starred in animated series or movies, be them produced in Japan or elsewhere.
- Bayonetta is the only third-party character whose all games in her franchise of origin have been released on Nintendo consoles.
- Roy is the only Fire Emblem character to not have a visual design come directly from a game, using an original design for Smash, though borrowing elements from both his Binding Blade and Awakening designs.
- At 58 fighters, the latest game's roster is nearly 5 times the amount of characters found in the original Smash Bros. on the N64. (If it had 60 characters, it would have been exactly 5 times.)
- In addition to the above, the roster has more than twice the amount of characters found in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
- Of all the returning stages from games prior to Brawl, only two have made a single appearance in the series before, those being Peach's Castle and Hyrule Castle from Smash 64. (Dream Land and Kongo Jungle also appeared in Melee, whereas all Melee stages have also appeared in Brawl.)
- Save for a few exceptions, nearly all series represented in Smash have two or more pieces of content that weren't seen in the same game up until now.
- All playable characters have at least one move or animation that comes directly from their original franchises.
- The only franchises to have more than 3 stages counting both versions are Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby and Pokémon.
- Counting both versions, the only third-party series with more than a single stage are Sonic and Pac-Man.
- Counting both versions, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda are the only franchises to have past stages from all three previous Smash installments. In addition, The Legend of Zelda only is missing a single past stage, Great Bay, and also has all of them available in a single version.

Anyway, what's up, guys? Anything new?

Square Enix has two series. Don't forget the Geno costume overall. Nintendo doesn't own it, after all. XD

Geno represents the Super Mario series.

He is owned by Square Enix but Square Enix don't own the Super Mario series.

Therefore, it's still just Final Fantasy as the only SE series that's represented.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

After watching the latest RWBY episode, I've been thinking of a RWBY fighting game. Ruby would be like Pit, pretty fast and strong, Weiss would be a finesse fighter who can do both close and longrange combat, Blake is the Sheik, focusing primarily on Speed, Yang is Ganondorf, sheer power. Jaune would be like Pheonix Wright in Mahvel, weak, but can he devastating. Nora is powerful and has short start up, but is easily punished, Mary Sue is a grappler, Ren is similar to Blake. Any other ideas for characters?

Super Mario RPG is fully a Square Enix series. Nintendo doesn't own anything original in it. It's Square Enix content no matter how you slice it. Which is literally what I just said earlier. The fact he didn't get a trophy is funny in itself, but he's just there as a Square Enix costume regardless. Yeah, SE didn't give much(two costumes, representing two different game series, both owned by SE, two freaking songs, one stage, one character, three of his trophies... and that's it). Practically the most they gave was Midgar's own special summons, which shows off the most overall. Not sure why none of them got Trophies either, since they have models. Must be a "we want too much money" issue.

Welp. It seems like February is gonna' be a good month.

The content is irrelevant. It has the Super Mario name in the title. It's a Super Mario game. Those are owned by Nintendo.

"Super Mario RPG" isn't a series, it's only one game. So it merely is a game in the Super Mario series.

Even in the Melee days, there was an official poll similar to the Smash ballot. Geno made an appearance in the results and was listed as a Super Mario series character.

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/03/23/if-there-were-a-smash-2-poll/

It's not like he's the only Super Mario character that is owned by a different person or comes from a different studio than Mario himself either. For example, Rosalina, Waluigi, Daisy, etc. Geno isn't the only abnormality in terms of ownership in the Super Mario series and just because he's owned by Square Enix, doesn't mean the game isn't still owned by Nintendo.

I'm right now trying to get all Challenges on Smash Wii (done with 3DS challenges back in April). So far I've gotten 110 out of 140 (no Golden Hammers; they're for babies) and not much left to go.

Right now I'm trying to get the Smash Tour challenge that requires defeating the Metroid. It's so darn annoying since there's no way of know if it'll actually show up as well as getting to it (I was SO close last time but then a damn computer used an item that knocked me to the other half of the board ).

I'm the very few people who actually enjoys Smash Run but this challenge is so frustrating!

The Golden Hammers calls out to you

I haven't seem @Swampasaur 's post, but I see an opportunity to share this .gif of the night crawlers, so I am.

Spoiler: NightCrawlers

They're supposedly apart of some Native American legend. They're completely harmless, only come out at night and might possibly be Aliens.

THE PANTS HAVE GAINED SENTIENCE! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!

Tell them to put me on their "do not call" list. I don't want their business.

Well, it isn't Smash Run.

Yeah, that's honestly a dumb challenge. It's too luck-based. Even stuff like beating 9.0 with one life isn't truly luck-based. A bit too much for my tastes in general, but skill can prevail. Albeit, you automatically going to a lower difficult when losing is dumb in itself. It'd be better if you could just save up money and keep playing till you get it. That's more fair. You could argue it's a cheap way to get around it, but the A.I. is cheap too. Especially with dumb courses that cheaply kill you.

>Mary Sue
Why do you always talk **** about my favorite characters?
Anyways, Neo could be a fragile speedster, somewhat akin to Greninja
Mercury would have a passive ability that makes all the fights he's in cooler and have some Falcon style kicks
Cinder could just die in a ****ing hole
I still have to watch the new episode I forgot it came out today

We totally have a leaked build for Yooka Laylee

Warning: Product not final, any glitches you see here will surely be fixed in the actual product.

Seriously though how did I never hear about this game.

@Swampasaur: I got an idea for your game;

The Roc: A flying bird made of boulders. Some say it's a stoner, but it really just loves to fly high.

Picture will come later.

That actually looks really cool. You know, aside from the emulation errors.

 

[Z25]

@Swampasaur do you have a link to your fighting game roster? I'll share some ideas!

And your friend's Kirby air ride mod looks pretty cool!

 

[Schnee117]

Something for @Swampasaur 's monster fighting game should be the Wendigo. inb4 Wendy Go's joke
Relatively strong with some average defence/weight and great speed utilising their claws and horns.
