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

[Knight Dude]

If I'm being serious, there's only really two choices for a Tekken character.

1. A Mishima family member, like Heihachi, Kazuya or Jin. The obvious and more likely of choices, should it ever happen.

2. The Boy Himself: Yoshimitsu.

He'd be pretty sick if they go all out with him. Showing up in both Tekken and Soul Calibur they have a TON of games to pull from. He also has the benefit of showing up in literally every Tekken game, which only a few like Nina Williams and Heihachi himself can claim. And he's one of the rare video game characters who changes his design per main game.

If you don't know much about Yoshimitsu, his playstyle is primarily based on being really tricky for opponents to figure out. Having a handful of stances to pull from that each lead to certain moves. He's hard to use, but really fun when you get going. The real difference between the SC and Tekken versions is that the SC Yoshimitsu uses his sword for normals more, while Tekken Yoshimitsu uses it for more flashy moves, until about Tekken 6.

If you want a run-down of some of his moves.
- Poison Breath
- Can fly by spinning his sword like a helicopter.
- Hops on his sword like a pogo stick.
- He can Meditating Stance, which can teleport, hit low with a sword sweep, or launch with his Kangaroo Kick.
- Basically has a low hitting Hurricane Kick.
- A Hara Kiri, that deals more damage to the opponent if they get caught in it.
- Crazy Cartwheel Kicks.
- A Teleporting Double Axe Kick.
- He an Steal an opponents health.
- He has an Izuna Drop.

Thanks for coming to my Late-Night TED talk for a character that'll never be added.

Actually, no. Can it stay that way?

It's about eating, isn't it?

You’ve seen Dig Dug right?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

"Social Media Services", I sometimes abbreviate it like that, though it's mostly Twitter with the recent New Zealand shooting and some people pointing the blame on PDP where he had NOTHING to do with it.

At this point, the whole "Subscribe to PewDiePie" meme just passed Waluigi levels and just doesn't feel right, especially when no one is to blame. Sucks all around.

I mean regardless of what you think of this, the fact that this actually got him more subscribers is very concerning. Check the analytics yourself

It's hot garbage, but it's my hot garbage.

:D Ahh, AWESOME, Noi! XD It seems that FireAlpaca has worked really well for ya! I never dared to use the Onion Skin mode. Even though I did utterly crappy animations with Ridley eons ago using Flipnote Studio on the DSi XL...I haven't felt motivated to try it out with this program. I only dream of doing one day do an animation with clean lines, and pretty coloring with my beloved Ridley Bros

*googles it*

Now I have. So it...digs?

- He has an Izuna Drop.

Think that honor should go to my boy Ryu here.

Now I have. So it...digs?

And what else does he do?

Here's a brief clip of the game

Now... pay attention to how he deals with the enemies...

I know, but Yoshimitsu ALSO has one, that's why it's a positive.

The sub counts literally doesn't matter; the subgap was continually getting wider and there is no way to see if that was the case.

The only things people should be worried going forward are shunning the absolute scum of the earth that are trying to use PDP and the recent shooting to push an agenda and focus on people's lives over there, help in any way, etc.

 

[Zinith]

I got Soul Calibur II for Link, stayed for Yoshimitsu, and finished for Lizardman

 

[Wademan94]

In our defense, we’re trying to avoid THAT possibility when taking about our moves for him

Speaking of, Zinith what would be the best way to incorporate a move for him that involves dropping boulders on his opponent’s heads?

 

[osby]

osby aside from dropping boulders on their heads.

By the way, just out of curiosity: Who allowed this?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Poochy got an amiibo for a game whose added features were centered around him

Also HIS amiibo goes for no cheaper than 90 dollars

Okay?

Lottie had three games centered around her and the other Animal Crossing Amiibos. Nintendo really tried to go all in with Amiibo Festival too, with that game literally being centered around the Animal Crossing Amiibos themselves.

The price doesn't necessarily equate to popularity. Instead, it means basic supply and demand. Amiibos are known for low supply compared to the demand, especially by collectors and the scalpers who prey on them.

1. Nintendo doesn't make a lot of Yarn Poochy amiibos, but a lot of Lottie amiibos
2. Collectors want Yarn Poochy amiibos and Lottie amiibos
3. There aren't enough Yarn Poochy amiibos for all the collectors, some scalpers take not of this and buy up some. Conversely, Lottie amiibos are in supply for all collectors
4. Yarn Poochy amiibos are high priced because there is more demand from collectors and scalpers than there is supply

You could argue that the fact that there is more Lottie amiibos means that Nintendo pushed for her more, and she didn't have the fan demand, but that's as subjective as using the price of an amiibo on Amazon as evidence of popularity.

 

[Wademan94]

By the way, just out of curiosity: Who allowed this?

Namco, in their defense it was 1982, back before that kind of thing was made more prominent. There’s no way they could’ve made that to appeal to THAT type of crowd.

 

[Knight Dude]

I got Soul Calibur II for Link, stayed for Yoshimitsu, and finished for Lizardman

I started with SC2 as well. We knew who Heihachi was since my family all plays Tekken. We popped off when we found out Yoshimitsu was also in the game.

Got the Gamecube version again years later, played Link a lot since, we was basically a "new" character in one of my favorite games.

Still never got to play as Spawn unfortunately. I heard he's not great, but Spawn's really cool so I doubt I'd care. Especially since Link is also trash competitively from what I remember.

It's very similar to when a British politician got murdered a few years ago with the murderer yelling "BRITAIN FIRST!". PDP is at fault for attracting that kind of crowd with all of the **** he's done like yell the N word and spread anti-semitism. Another example is a shooter's browsing history showing he followed infowars and other altright **** yet the people who were radicalizing the to-be shooters act the same way pewdiepie will. It's cynical, maybe, but people get radicalized by famous ****ty people on the internet all the time and those people never have to suffer any consequences despite motivating or promoting such vile ****

Sure, but even without its kink aspect, it seems like a weirdly brutal way of defeating your enemies.

Hey guys imo I think I know who deserves to be the 2nd Namco rep...

Or yuri. either ones fine

Underwhelming designs, but random twitter account with single tweet sporting oft-aped "Confidential" design sheet doesn't fill me with total confidence of legitimacy.

 

[Michele]

Also I am on mobile so cannot say more but I heard there is going to be a Graphic Novel for Detective Pikachu. Will say more after school.

Oh god. I hate how you worded that. Finished for Lizardman. Just, ugh.

I started with SC2 as well. We knew who Heihachi was since my family all plays Tekken. We popped off when we found out Yoshimitsu was also in the game.

Got the Gamecube version again years later, played Link a lot since, we was basically a "new" character in one of my favorite games.

Still never got to play as Spawn unfortunately. I heard he's not great, but Spawn's really cool so I doubt I'd care. Especially since Link is also trash competitively from what I remember.

I started with Soulcalibur 2 as well, I think most people did. I got the GameCube version because of Link, like most people probably did, and then fell in love with Nightmare. Would be a couple years before I got into Tekken with Tekken 4 but ever since Heihachi has always been the fave. I digress, I jumped into Soulcalibur 2 HD Online Edition because I wanted to play as Heihachi and Spawn. What I got from Spawn was literally just “dude with axe”. I was so disappointed. Especially seeing as how I was an actual Spawn fan back then.

Anyways, I think if any Namco character was to be the second representative it would be Heihachi. He’s just the most recognizable character they have, right now and for a while, I just don’t really see Heihachi happening anytime soon.

Flying type looks cute but I don't think it's real.

Also, thread doesn't have a spoiler warning, so you might want to post potential leaks in spoilers in the future.

It sure is a good thing they have "confidential" stamped in red text so we all know it's real, huh? /s

Edit: Okay but jokes aside, I always find it suspicious when a "leaker" goes "this thing will be revealed on this date". Having concept art does not equate to knowing when the advertising department is planning on making their reveal - the people who draw the Pokemon likely aren't the ones who make those decisions.

I’d totally believe it’s real considering it’s Corocoro magazine being leaked here. Why this company hasn’t folded by now I’ll never know.

 

[N3ON]

I'd like to know the correlation between having confidential design documents and knowing the content of an upcoming Corocoro magazine that would show finalized artwork, not design docs. To be legitimate it'd have to come from someone with access to both internal design and marketing, which would be two different divisions, at two unrelated stages of development, and therefore a higher-up. Yet then the lack of knowing anything else is... questionable.

Hate 'em. Hate 'em both.

I'm still excited because it's a new pokemon game, but nothing that's been shown or leaked so far besides the trainer designs has excited me at all.

 

[Idon]

When is my fighting eon and dragon eon. Please TPC, I'm begging ya.

 

[Diem]

But is it Corocoro? That's just what the tweet says, but there's no evidence to that claim.

Those designs both look pretty bland to me, which has me kinda skeptical.

I just want Normaleon. No stones. You just... raise it to level 30 or something. Bigger, fluffier Eevee.
