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

[A Distant Demon]

So, the version I was going to get because I have neither a PS4 or XBone?

Awesome.

I've seen so few reports of issues that I honestly can't believe it's that big of a deal that it will stop game enjoyment.
Certainly no Unity that's for sure. I'm sure the game will wind up just as mind blowing as everyone expects.

'Sonic Big Head Plush Googling' is one of his recommended searches. Stop.

Also, what was this bet about? I'd totally missed it.

A few members bet against Vaanrose there would be a direct (or maybe a characer announcement I dont remember) until a certain date. There was not.

The punishment was they get their avis changed to things Vaanrose chose (and I believe made). They are awesome

Honestly every Gen 2 poke I care for other than Stantler already has a mega (mega slowbrooooooooooo) so I have no real reason to participate lol.

I'm pretty sure Slowking was the Gen 2 pokemon. Slowbro was in Gen 1.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You know what the Yokai Watch cartoon is reminding me of?

The newer Kamen Rider series. The magic one and the fruit one

I think even OOO has similarities actually

See, that's where I'm struggling... I can't tell if what I'm seeing is a few people being extremely vocal because the game isn't perfect, or a legitimate complaint that the game lacks new and innovative content from its predecessor.

I'm just going to have to wait it out and see how people feel about it in a week or so.

 

[CannaFizz]

The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth is making me want to cry tears of blood. Which is fitting, considering that's something you actually do in the game, but it's gotten extremely frustrating.

Spoiler: spoilers

The thought of trying to beat Mega Satan as The Lost makes me want to start cutting.

 

[Mythra]

Mega Kingdra

Type: Water/Dragon

Ability: Drizzle
Atk. 115
Def. 110
Sp. Atk. 125
Sp. Def. 110
Spe. 105

It slightly increases its overall size but its back fin becames two of them similar to Seadra's but retaining the "elegant" appearance that Kingdra's fin has. Its color changes to dark blue and the spines on its head gain two more branches each.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I just looked at the clock and realized Fallout 4 is out now here. **** I want to stay up and play it but I have school in 7 hours. Must. Resist. Urge.

Rocking that new avatar

So I played Payday 2 yesterday, and I actually used the call feature on Skype for the first time lol XD

Eh...Only similarity is that I don't like YM and I didn't like OOO. Wizard has the monster of the week based on overall mythology, and Gaim...I don't get your comparison, especially because of how bleak the story gets

Sorry Swamp, not doing the challenge yet, I will after school though.

Gave Yokai Watch a try by watching the show. I want those 25 minutes of my life back, especially considering I watched One Punch Man, something else I didn't enjoy. Fumi-chan stole my life, which is essentially murder

I'm talking more the way in which the guy summons the yokai

The little animation and calling out the yokai's type before it appears

Oooooh, the belt's what you meant. Kamen Rider's been doing that since 2007 iirc. If anything, it's rather similar to Ghost, which outside of a good premise and good character development so far, doesn't have much going for it. Unless you count the kickass suit designs

 

[Soul.]

Time for Day Two of my challenge.

This time, we think of Mega Pokemon from Generation II.

Once again, the list doesn't include non fully evolved Pokemon or Pokemon that already have one.

Here we go!

Spoiler: List of Gen II Pokemon for Swamp's Mega Evolution Challenge

Meganium

Mega Azumarill

Type: Water/Fairy

Ability: Huge Power

(HP doesn't change so lol. Azu's base HP is 100 for reference)
Attack: 90
Defense: 100
Special Attack: 60
Special Defense: 120
Speed: 50

Appearance is largely the same but with more fairy stuff added to it to represent its new typing. Special Defense is base 120 instead of Defense to take special hits better. It kinda reminds me of Mega Mawile except with priority in Aqua Jet.

edit: oops, Mawile does have priority... Sucker Punch. lol. Azu has STAB priority I guess.

 

[Opossum]

Oh, before I forget, I may as well do one for another one of my favorites. Almost forgot he was Johto for a second.

Mega Qwilfish
Water-Poison
Ability: Rough Skin

Appearance-wise, Qwilfish gets much larger and rounder, and sports a fu manchu and thicker eyebrows, making him look like a regal sushi chef of sorts. He also gains actual pectoral fins and longer spines.

Qwilfish gains a ton of Defense and Special Defense, and a bit of Attack, but lowers its Speed. This guy's meant to be a hazardous tank. Toxic Spikes, Spikes, Rough Skin, Destiny Bond, Thunder Wave, and Poison Jab and Waterfall for offensive move options? This guy can do it all.

Oh wow, I hadn't seen any since Gaim

I didn't know they had a new one

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Then you missed out on Drive, which is crazy good. It was written by W's main writer, it's crazy good and got the nickname 'Kamen Rider feels'

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently some little kids went for a joy ride with their parents car

Got into a minor accident with someone, hit and run

Later running into a pole and killing one of them

 

[Mikegamer0608]

I'm talking more the way in which the guy summons the yokai

The little animation and calling out the yokai's type before it appears

I'm sorry, but the yokai watch summoning animation will never beat the pokeball throw animation.

Spoiler

Pidgeotto I Choose you!!

 

[Radical Bones]

Mega Sunflora

Ability: Drought

Type: Grass/Fire

Sunflora's head becomes a flaming orb of fire and its leaves become 'sharper' and dark brown like they're burnt.

75/75/85/145/85/30

 

[Solfiner]

Mega Dunsparce. Literally just a bigger Dunsparce. Ability: Truant.

 

[Mythra]

Mega Unown
Ability: Protean
Atk: 32
Def: 48
SpA: 162
SpD: 48
Spe: 98

The Unown becomes golden while still retaining its basic shape but the eye pupil takes a diamond-like shape

...I tried

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Got about 6 Johto mons to do after school today, this should be fun

Million times better than Unknown already.

Protean with Hidden Power still sounds gimmicky.

But a fun gimmick.

I can still see it biting players in the ass. 2 pokemon left, one on each side of the field. Mega Unown used hidden power! HAAAA! *It doesn't affect Talonflame...*

 

[Mythra]

I can still see it biting players in the ***. 2 pokemon left, one on each side of the field. Mega Unown used hidden power! HAAAA! *It doesn't affect Talonflame...*

Well in many scenarios Talonflame would wreck it with Priority Brave Bird anyway

But a Hidden Power Ground from M-Unown could hit a P-Groudon really hard

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Oh wow

One of my yokai evolved and is now my most powerful one

"Undy"

 

[AirshBornely]

So, um, Rodea The Sky Soldier is going to be released. I'm still unsure if I wanna put down $60 for the Wii U version even if it comes with the limited Wii version. Basically, I'm not entirely sold on it as the gameplay doesn't interest me all that much, but I'd like to have that Wii version of the game. Plus, I might actually like it.

What is it about?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Messaged someone asking if they were alright. Y'know. Because series of car accidents happened right near here

Thought they didn't reply back.

Hour later, found out they did.

"That's good" I replied

...Wow, that really shows I care. Not getting back for an hour.

My phone really should alert me to these kinds of things.

From what I keep hearing the Wii version of the game is the definitive one, since the Wii U version is very slow and sluggish.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

All of my yokai are now evolved or fused except WalKappa

I decided to go with Baddinyan

I'm pretty sure pilots are never indicative of the entire show. There is a 3-5 episode rule for a reason.

And why didn't you at least like Jibanyan's backstory?

 

[Radical Bones]

Is anyone else's Smashboards really broken right now?

Also, I have a few more Mega ideas which I'll post in a sec... once SB starts working on my laptop again.

 

[Deleted member]

This is the inside of an Animal Crossing amiibo card (the circled area is the chip)

I don't think there would be any problems for Pokémon TGC.

Think about it for a second. There is a reason they made the cards thick, it's to protect the NFC chip inside. If the cards are completely flat, the NFC can be damaged very easily.

And despite what is seen by that picture, I'd imagine if the card was flat it'd have a bulge where the NFC chip is.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

From what I keep hearing the Wii version of the game is the definitive one, since the Wii U version is very slow and sluggish.

You'd think it would be the other way around but nope lol

Though I'm sure its better because it was already finished before the Wii U and 3DS versions had started development correct?

 

[epicmartin7]

epicmartin7 What's this costume business if I can ask?

Just about a couple Super Mario Maker costumes RandomTBush found and says he's not revealing due to the leaks last time (which I understand.) So I tried to ask Nikki if she'll datamine it at all. Like I said before, I'm getting effected by this drought lol. I need at least some sort of news and will admit I am not patient XD.

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

Black Ops 3 is fun.

Good on T.Bush then, keeping the hype alive.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Black Ops 3 is fun.

I've heard so many mixed reviews about this game.

Mostly how its mediocre and stuff. I will admit, it looks fun only because I never played advanced warfare with the whole exo skeleton thing.

Plus I love me some Treyarch zombies....

...Though I've head how its alot more harder than the previous 3, so that sounds cool.

 

[epicmartin7]

Good on T.Bush then, keeping the hype alive.

Yeah... I shouldn't have asked anyone to datamine it. I'm really starting to feel bad for Nintendo with all these leaks, but then the drought and curiosity kind of pulled me in which isn't really an excuse for me . I really do miss the hype
