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

[Zinith]

I plan on it anyways given its got some cryptozoology going for it as well which I'm really into especially Bigfoot.

I should warn you that there's a part where Stan bull****s a story where he punches a pterodactyl

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I was never that good with the cryptograms personally, but I enjoyed their involvement with the show anyway. If fans who aren't as familiar had fun looking into them and/or trying to solve them, then I'm certain it's a real treat for people who are experienced with them.

If you're willing, please let me know when you've given some episodes a watch, I'm always be down to hear some opinions on Gravity Falls, as well as for a good, general discussion of the show as a whole.

Will do.

Noipoi: Once I get the movie on Blu-Ray I'll have to be sure to watch carefully then for them. Good to know though they do that.

Sadly Bigfoot only makes an appearance in the opening. The second episode is about a lake monster though.

Cryptozoology actually has nothing to do with cryptograms. "Zoology" means animal science, and "cryptids" are creatures people claim to have seen despite lacking real proof. Bigfoot, Nessie, jackalopes, the Chupacabra, ect.

So I'm making Moveset's for my most wanted characters and I was listening to my dude Duster's theme cause I was Working on him then I found this in the Comment Section

"If you flip the "M" in DCMC and make DCWC, instead of Desperando Crash Mambo Combo, you would get the Desperando Crash Wombo Combo"

I can't believe it y'all Duster is basically confirmed, Hell yeah! Instant main Right there.

Still gonna watch anyways being the media buff (As well as history, mythology, culture, prehistory, animals living & extinct, etc.) I am.

You could say I'm a man of good culture.

 

[Idon]

I cannot for the life of me pull off Snake’s codec calls.
H e l p m e.

The timing for the taunts strict, so try using a more dextrous finger or your entire hand to hit the taunt twice.

...Derp. Well, you learn something new every day, as the saying goes, lol. Thank you for clarifying that.

I'm more disappointed that the lake monster in question never made a return, despite the fact that the episode's ending teased it.

I would've loved to see another Gobblewonker episode, personally.

Oh yeah, go ahead and watch it. I'm actually a pretty big GF fan myself.

...I watched the full commentary of all 40 episodes recently. I know more about that show then I'd like to admit. Did you guys know that Dipper's character design, particularly his hair, was partially inspired by Mario?

 

[Opossum]

You ever see a Smash clip that warms your soul? :')

Wait, it has to be hit twice?
. . Oh.

 

[Deleted member]

Compare this to Smash 4, Smash 4 is sooooo slow in comparison. Ultimate's speed is definitely one of the best changes this game made.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

You just have to press the taunt, any taunt, for no more than one frame. It's really easy once you get the hang of it.

 

[Idon]

Well...

glad that mystery is solved.

You just have to press the taunt, any taunt, for no more than one frame. It's really easy once you get the hang of it.

Really now?
I thought it was like, 2 taunts in the span of 2 frames or something like that? Did they change it or was it always like that?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'm rather disappointed in myself right now because I somehow seemed to have overlooked the "zoo" part when I read "Cryptozoology".

I know what Zoology is, but hadn't heard of Cryptozoology until tonight. With all that, I completely misinterpreted what it meant. Either way, doesn't change the fact that I had an apparent brain fart when reading that word in that post. Oof. Way to go, me...

My derp moment aside, yeah, the creatures are another big reason why I love GFs so much. Some of them are more original while others are interpretations of real world reported cryptids. Altogether it makes the setting really enjoyable.

Ultimate did everything better than Smash 4 did.
Balancing, speed, aesthetics, etc.

I even like this current version of online ( Counting Arenas from Ultimate and Friend Battles from Smash 4 ) slightly better than Smash 4's basic For Glory. ( I never used For Fun at all. )

Nah don't feel bad. Cryptozoology isn't exactly a common term, and the context was already surrounding Gravity Falls so when you see a big word with "cyrpto" at the beggining it makes sense for your brain to go "Oh! Like cryptograms!".

Like the "Manotaurs?"

"Part man, part uh, taur".

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

It's always been like that. It just took the Smash fanbase a surprising amount of time to figure it out. Though, the way you said it could also work because 2 in 2 frames is still 1 in 1.

So, I'm curious, out of the Currently Represented Franchises in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, what are you most disappointed by not being represented or being underrepresented in your opinion...this is not counting Fighters, just Stages, Songs, Spirits, etc.
: Bowsette No Songs from Super Mario RPG..even if I always think of it when hearing King Bowser considering I first heard it in RPG.
: Very few DKC2 Songs despite having such as an Awesome OST..too many remixes of the same exact song..
: No Hyrule Castle or Lorule Castle Songs
: No Baby Bowser Battle (Yoshi's Island) Song
: No Music or Stages from Wario Land or Wario World (that one Shake It song doesn't count to me since its just a remix of a WarioWare song..)
: No Old Snake or Naked Snake costumes
: Not more Sonic Mania music (particularly Mirage Saloon Zone Act 2)
: No MegaMan Battle Network music, the MM Zero song is just a remix of Zero's MMX1 theme and not an original MMZ song (like Departure~)
: Any Music from a non-SFII entry..I'd have loved some SFIII and Alpha songs (like Sakura's theme)
: The Entire Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series..

I completely agree with you as Ultimate did Every single thing better than Smash 4 but the Speed is the Biggest and Best change in my opinion.

I really love the lighting in Ultimate.
On top of the cel-shaded attack effects, and the more subdued colours, it makes the game look so gorgeous.

: No Old Snake or Naked Snake costumes

I haven’t played Metal Gear in my life, but when I was reading all about the lore last year, and learnt that Snake is probably insect food by now due to his advanced aging. .?
I don’t want to be reminded of poor Snake’s fate.

What the HTTYD Trilogy is to you Noipoi is what the Heisei Gamera Trilogy is to me.

And whatever trilogies there are to other people.

Alright, time for some nitpicks:

: No FE7, 8, 9, or 10 remixes
: Lack of FF music, 7 or otherwise.
: No Metal gear REX fight or alt costumes.
: Zero remixes. Like, at all. Like, not even full versions of the remixes used in the old medley.
: Cynthia theme still uses the disappointing Smash 4 version with a dainty piano and a pair of clackers.
: Omega tower isn't the Maz Koshia boss fight stage. Also, no Master Cycle Zero reference

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Like the "Manotaurs?"

Those monsters were the best and the worst at the same time.

Spoiler

Besides being hilarious, they were genuinely supportive of Dipper's journey into achieving manliness for a while...then wanted him to murder a fellow intelligent monster all because he liked a feminine pop song. At least they seemed to turn around by the time of Weirdamgeddon and after it ended.

On that note, let's all take a moment to appreciate the Manotaurs' episode's glorious musical number:

KEEP ON SHAVIN' THAT HAIRY UNCLE

 

[Deleted member]

I'm Listening to Gamexplain's Rayman Leak video just cause and boy is it dated. I kinda feel like they learned from this leak and that's why they thought the Grinch was fake as both had some "Evidence" or seemed real and as we know, Both were fake.

No new remixes.
I'm pretty sure at least for FE7. I dooooon't have as good as memory on FE8 though since I played that game on mute.

Spoiler

I think one of the themes of the episode was how peer pressure and conformity can lead to toxic behavior.

Chutzpar on his own seemed like a pretty nice guy who wanted to help Dipper with his problems and only became a problem when he was part of a group. He seemed a bit scared when Dipper started talking back to Leaderaur.

FE8 has Preparing to Advance, as well as a part of Comrades in the Meeting Theme Series Medley.

Comrades is my personal favorite FE Recruitment theme, so I'm pretty happy about that.

Spoilers for Metal Gear Solid follow.

For as sad as Snake's fate, presumably, really is he still had one of the best written character arcs in a video game.

With Metal Gear he was simply a soldier under the command of his Mentor, Big Boss, when he learned of his Mentors betrayal it then became his mission to Hunt down the one person he cared for most and when Metal Gear 2 came around he felt the obligation to end the Big Boss threat once and for all ending Big Boss's legacy, or so he thought. Learning that his one true friend, his mentor, was also his Father probably cut Snake like a knife. But he finished his mission anyways. Killed his father, his best friend, and his mentor in one kill. Later on after he retired he was called back not for the fact that it was his duty but because "he" was the enemy now. The "Snake" that had invaded Shadow Moses and demanded Big Boss's body under threat of nuclear war was, by the Governments accounts, Solid Snake himself so it was either he be hunted and shamed for "his" crimes or go to Shadow Moses to stop all out nuclear war. When he gets there not only does he find out that the enemy he's been hunting was his brother but that his nation, his home, had betrayed him and planned on blaming the nuclear threat on him no matter which way it went. While Metal Gear Solid 2 takes the approach that Snake has become a huge anti-nuke philanthropist. Creating Philanthropy and planning to end the Metal Gear threat once and for all. By all accounts he fails. Which sends him down a rabbit hole to fight his other brother, Solidus, and help his brother's adopted son, his adopted nephew; Raiden, his obligation to save the world fell on him as a personal matter. Not only was he to kill his family one by one but he was also to take responsibility for what Raiden would become. Metal Gear Solid 4 came around and Snake's last mission... was to die. Of course, he could have sat around and watched the Patriots take over free will and condemn the world to their tyranny but he felt it was his obligation to finish what he had started so long ago. To finish Ocelot once and for all. And he did. And in the end, he rid the Patriots, killed Zero, and watched his father give his peace and reasoning to Snake all for the sake of closure, to then have him die in his arms. His mentor, his first friend, died for the third time but for the first time in peace right in front of him. It was closure for Snake. It was closure for the series. Snake could finally rest in peace...

The sad irony of all this? He was just like his father. And Big Boss was just like his mentor, The Boss. Round and round in circles they went family killing family. Friend killing friend. As The Boss said "There's only room for one Boss and one Snake." And so Big Boss carried on that cycle. Till he realized the truth The Boss never knew. "There's only room for on Boss and one Snake. No, the world is better off without Snakes." And so Solid Snake's final mission was to die. And he completed his mission. Finally ridding the world of Snakes. Mission accomplished.

Thank you, Snake.

I’d never actually pieced the story together like that. . I’ll have to play the games someday.
Poor Snake.
Wonder what it was like for Otacon, looking after his friend in his old age for the last couple of years too. . .

Thanks for merging my posts.
