Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Deleted member]

Context is key.

Here's my mindset. Just follow me here in this scenario. Your loved ones, the most important people in your life, are lined up against the wall and a shooter comes in with the intent to kill. Lucky you your at an angle where you can put a shot into this man with your gun that you oh so happen to have. So tell me, are you going to take a shot at this man's leg to try to save his life? Because if you do you have to think that once you put that bullet in him his body is going to tense up. And where is his finger at? On the trigger. His body tensing up from the pain is going to pull that trigger. It's scientific fact. So are you going to aim for his leg? Or are you going to pit a bullet in that ****ers head?

If I have to take a guilty life to save even ONE innocent one, I would do it in a heartbeat. People are already going to die from the choice he made. They shouldn't have to die for a choice I made.

I hate killing, but I have to agree.
If you were being threatened by a gunner and I could kill the gunner, I would. But then I would have PTSD, because I killed one person. :[
At least I saved someone more valuable, though.

Here's a question, What are your stances on a Season 2? Will we get one, if so Will Assists be able to be upgraded?

Personally I think it's mighty likely with how much the game has sold I'm sure the DLC will sell a ton, it may be more complicated than that with the shrinking amount of workers for DLC but they can just Rehire them with the profits they've gained from the sales. And Yes with all the backlash Waluigi and Isaac got I do think there's a chance Sakurai heard and will consider promoting some Assists.

If there was to be a season 2, I would consider ATs to potentially be on the table. There are plenty of them that would sell very well (Waluigi, Spring Man, any Pokeball Pokemon), and I doubt Nintendo would let the AT role get in the way of profits. They might even like it, as already having a nice looking model and some animations could speed up development.

...You got Discord? I have a full lineup of every monster via a zip file. I won't upload it here, cause it's kind of big.

You know I do! Mine is ShinyLegendary#3700 .
I thought it was in my signature, but apparently not. :]

Smash? Just a thought.

I heard it's a pretty cool game. Who do you like to play as?

As one of the few people here who still hasn't played it, I have my usage organized in planning. I decided to put echoes together this time.

[staindgrey]

Well, I wonder if it means you like manly women. Lucina is far more manly than Marth, that's for sure. (I wish this was entirely hyperbole, but Lucina really does come off as more manly in Smash, at least to me).

I constantly refer to Marth as "Girl Marth" because it's hilarious and every joke has a kernel of truth to it.

But for real, not waifu talk but just comparing the character to real life alternatives, Lucina is a character of action. I don't like blind followers and people content to stand where they are. I don't date anymore, but when I did, every person I dated who essentially just deferred to me and whatever I wanted resulted in a really unfulfilling relationship. I'd need someone who'll butt heads with me when I'm wrong and make me a better person as a result. I can't deal with passive aggressiveness and pillow princesses.

Also masculine women are attractive, yes.

One mans life is worth it to save 10. 10 men’s lives are worth it to save a hundred. A thousand men’s lives are worth it to save a million. A million men’s lives are worth it to save a billion. Sounds logical right. Except at that point you need to stop and realize that you’ve killed a million people! That kind of thinking leads to trivializing human lives and allows for atrocities to be committed without hesitation in the name of saving lives. It’s why killing is wrong. No matter what.

A few problems with this logic.

For starters, in these scenarios, by saying "kill one person to save 10" you're implying that these 10 people will definitely die if the one other is not killed. In which case, somebody dies regardless, you're just changing whether it's one or ten.

Another flaw is that it's too static. What if killing one person saves not 10, but 10 million people?

Can you really justify letting those ten million people die, just to uphold some sort of morality?

Your example is also way too Black and White. The world isn't a black and white place. It's almost entirely gray. There's lots of factors to consider when thinking about these kinds of things, all sorts of scenarios that change how the situation is perceived and handled. It's even a fairly common morality question. One that I was asked less than 6 months ago. And it's quite interesting to see how people's responses to these "1 life vs multiple" situations change depending on how you frame it.

I think that almost all life is precious, but that belief doesn't stop these kinds of situations from being a reality. That's just the way things work.

I see Pit up there on that list. Now I'm curious since he's looking pretty good. But yet, I don't think I'll be noticed anyways... so that'd probably make me sad.

Respect for sticking with OG Link and not jumping to Young like all of us.

I just couldn't get used to his bombs. I know they can be more tactical but I like throwing a new one out like every 1.5seconds.

It really is the core of the DC vs Marvel debate. It’s two very different guiding principles of morality. Back in high school people joked and told me I had “Batman syndrome” because of how I viewed morality and heroism. I’d rather aspire to be more like Superman and Batman than Wolverine or The Hulk.

I mean, Her moves are fast and I like the flow of the character, Simple, effective and fun to boot.

Honestly, I can't imagine sword fighters not being able to stand out when Soul Calibur exists and the entire roster is unique while wielding various bladed weapons.

It's kind of strange. If I went to tourneys, I would likely use all 3 Links, but I never considered them all my "main" mains. Maybe I do, but my lists always look a bit different from what I think. Also, Toon Link getting left in the dirt hurts.

This is why deciding to have 10 mains is an experience.

Knowing me, I don't really understand trying to "fit in" with the cool kids, ("I'm a Yoshi nut, take it or leave it") but I DO understand gauging the mood and seeing if what I'm about to say is really congruent to the conversation...

When I played Smash, I played two characters.
When I played Melee, I played three.
Brawl, three.
For, three.
Ultimate? **** it. Like eight. I can't pick anyone. I think this "everyone is here" mentality and the very real prospect of such a big roster never happening again has led us all to kind of be that way. Why limit yourself when there are so many possibilities.

 

[Iridium]

Sorry... I've just been feeling nervous lately, and worried about not connecting well with others and such.

It's fine. I just love Kid Icarus as a franchise for the good memories it gave me, and Pit is unique, yet versatile and easy to use as a character (Dark Pit too). But yeah, I can name few top players who use him, and it's just sad.

I dunno, I feel more likely to engage in conversation on this site than literally ANYWHERE else. I too have jitters engaging in social settings, but it's different here.

Besides, I know Iridium enough that he'd probably love to talk to you about Pit and stuff. He still doesn't have the game and he's trying to ascertain who he'd play and all the more reason to brainwash him to join the Yoshi cult
