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

Why did Smash Bros decide it was too good for numbers, then realized it might not be, then went back to having no numbers again?

Fair point.

I'm just salty because I bought the first Blazblue and its DLC character like two days before the next one was announced and then all my old SFIV friends jumped ship again to the new Blazblue and I was like **** this.

Smash never had numbers, people just pretend like it has.

C'mon. The "For" had to be a pun.

 

[Gentlepanda]

Hot Take
I would've preferred Morgana being playable in Smash rather than Joker.

was this before or after i revealed to you that morgana was male, not female

 

[Schnee117]

Which one is that again?

Followup Question: Why is Blazblue too good for ****ing numbers?

The one that just got a Switch port.

They also realised that numbering them wouldn't help make the story not a confusing cluster****.

Followup Question: Why is Blazblue too good for ****ing numbers?

The newest one that isn't the crossover one.

Because Arcsys hates numbers unless it's about dubs

Both, obviously.
I thought I told everyone I was bi...

 

[Gentlepanda]

Hottester Take: Smash Bros should be canceled and replaced with a fighting game starring every kind of Joker.

hamill main btw

I could swear it was confirmed to be an intentional pun at one point.

1960s Batman has Bat Shark Repellant. In his Helicopter.

Thus, he is best Batman.

I honestly almost tries the crosstag one before I remembered I don't like Blazblue that much and when I went to a local friendly that had it it looked like RWBY: The Fighting Game starring Chie from Persona 4™

This might be the first serious post I've seen out of you this month.

That is a heavy recommendation.

 

[Knight Dude]

Putting aside the fact that I don't really trust Youtube as a news source, I have to say it's unlikely.

They'd have to go through major revisions to downscale it for inferior hardware that the original game was never originally intended for, and I doubt Nintendo could provide development staff considering how many games they're producing already. Platinum is already making an exclusive AAA game for Switch right now in Astral Chain, plus Bayonetta 3, so the possibility of them simultaneously working on another Switch exclusive is... slim.

I'd love to see Scalebound come back but I don't trust that specific rumor.

EDIT: Here's a Tweet from the former creative producer for Platinum. He's not there anymore, so he may just be out of the loop, but...

EDIT AGAIN: Oops, no-no word. I'll just link instead. https://twitter.com/synaesthesiajp/status/1097584333500674049

That's why I doubt it's real too.

But that rumor started from some twitter post(I think a leaker) saying a cancelled game is being brought back. A few others were hoping it's MMLegends 3.

I haven't been following it super closely, so I apologize for being a bit vague on some details.

This is rather ironic as they expected people to pay for half of the titular RWBY cast. They made Blake and Yang free after immense backlash though

 

[Pakky]

Does anyone play the game that has Shovel Knight and Isaac from Binding of Issaac?

Uhhhhh Blade Strangers I think it's called? I did hear speculation Shovel Knight will be the 6th franchise added in Cross Tag Battle though

As a bonus to staindgrey ‘s initial question, I’m also gonna do Ubisoft, Wayforward, and Yacht Club Games, since, despite no playable characters, they have Spirits.

Ubisoft: Altair
Wayforward: Patricia Wagon
Yacht Club Games: … have they done anything that isn’t Shovel Knight?

 

[staindgrey]

I did not know that. Then again, you're the bigger RWBY fan than I am.

I actually recently saw I own that RWBY game on Steam and I honestly do not remember ever buying it. I really need to stop drinking during Steam sales.

Um, okay then...

Konami: Shanoa
Sega: Arle Nadja
Capcom: Jill Valentine
Bandai Namco: Yuri Lowell
Square: Terra Branford

I think that's alright? There are almost definitely other characters that I'd probably like to see more than them, but I can't think of any at the moment.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yacht Club Games: … have they done anything that isn’t Shovel Knight?

They haven't but I believe they said their next game after the final Shovel Knight DLCs will be a new game

[Sega] Dr. Eggman: Eggman is hilarious and would fit Smash perfectly, he could use his gadgets and machines to attack and would be my personal choice for another Sega rep. Sorry Shadow fans.

[Konami] Bomberman: Bomberman deserves to be in Smash he may already be an Assist but he would be my personal choice for another Konami rep, my dude could use all kinds of Bombs and kicks and all that. He'd be cool to have in Smash.

[Capcom] Phoenix Wright: My dude Phoenix would be so cool to have in Smash and would be pretty unique as he's just an average lawyer so they'd have to be pretty creative making his moveset. My dude would also come with amazing music and remixes so I have to go with Phoenix.

[Namco] Lloyd Irving: I would've put Heihachi instead based off of personal want but Lloyd has more fans and deserves it more. while Lloyd would be called "Just another anime swordsman" he would be pretty Unique and play differently from other swordsmen with his duel swords and whatever he does I don't have any experience with his game to be honest but he should be in.

[Square] Geno: Now this one is based off of personal want, I need Geno and Smash would not feel complete without my boy, He's been requested for just as long as Ridley and K. Rool so we need to complete the trinity of Smash Requests. Geno fans are some of the coolest people I know and I really respect them as well, Plus Geno is just such a cool character.

Bonus:
[Atlus] Yu Narukami: I have no idea about Persona, SMT or any Atlus franchise so I mainly put this guy on here cause I heard P4 is a good game and that this guy is it's main character. I really have no idea what he would do or who he is to be honest but again, I'll choose this guy cause why not.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Really though can Shulk destroy the Universe? He technically is a god.

Canon wise I consider andto be the three most powerful characters in Smash.

Never played it before, so I can not say. The art style looks nice though.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Why does everyone keep considering Shulk up there? When he got that power he ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THREW IT IN THE TRASH OF THE HEAVENS
