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

[Cutie Gwen]

I want Erdrick but the whole schtick about him being confirmed and not being confirmed feels old at this point.

Or it could very well that Joker wasnt ready to show yet. Plus if Joker had an alt like Jane, they could just omit showing it in the trailer until later. They didnt show several alts for characters like ZSS ones until close to release.

I'm not a game designer but considering how most of the Smash 4 dlc were shown 2 months before release I think, there's a damn good chance Joker was presentable

Tbf the alts that weren't shown alongside off have never been for newcomers

I swear erdrick debates are becoming more common than block bear debates.
I think he’s probably happening but I wouldn’t say he’s a definite lock.

Probably the reason why is because PolarPanda pretty much came out of nowhere saying "uh most likely Steve out, Banjo in", which also inadvertently kinda halted Steve debates quite a tad, from what I've seen. Sad, the meme economy was thriving off of Steve here.

That, and DQ still needs to catch work over here in the West, so people will debate a primarily Japanese-known character to hell and back.

 

[Deleted member]

I’m still afraid everyone’s going to forget male Joker is even in the game if he gets a Fem alt.

I'll be playing whatever one has the design I like more. As it stands right now, I'm playing Joker. However, if Jane looks cool, I'll play her. Pretty much as simple as that for me.

I guess it’s just shifting from one repetitive debate to another. Dear lord Sakurai, bless us with another direct.

idk what pollen is in the air but it is murdering me

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Honestly I can't say if I'd play Joker or Jane, it really depends on how her costume is going to look so we lack sufficient info

Cant remember, but was Cloud's AC alt shown at all when he was revealed or did they wait until the Direct afterwards. I dont remember seeing it in his debut trailer.

Was confirmed in Cloud's announcement trailer.

It's funny that I didn't need to look this up as I remember Maximilian Dood's reaction too well

OH MY GAWD YOU GET TO PLAY AS ADVENT CHILDREN

today is a national holiday

[Cutie Gwen]

Also considering some people think the devs were so incompetent and left Jane files in Joker's data despite Jane being a completely different character, who did those people think Jane could be?

 

[Pyra]

Spoiler

pyra gone
shirtless jin

Spoiler

i ended up staying up till 6am playing the game and beat 7.
Partway through 8 now.

Gotta say, even though the existence of green hair waifu was spoiled for me I didn’t know who she was and that scene was pretty damn impactful

Also Rex is now basically using Pyra, Nia, and whoever else right now. Zeke still has Zenobia because you were right about that being broken lmao

 

[ThatOneAnon]

It’s kinda depressing that Joker, one of my most wanted characters, is coming to Smash soon, but instead of being excited I’m extremely worried and cynical.

Tarzan’s lover

 

[Pakky]

Do you ever think about how Waluigi is a nobody? He's just some guy who plays tennis with Wario?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I didn't ask for the mathematician's answer

Why? Do you worry that Joker is gonna be a bad character?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

He's worried nobody will play as the guy because everyone's horny for the girl

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

well actually
Sora is Brave
and did you see how much hype there was for KHIII
there, Sora is as good as confirmed

I really feel like you're underestimating Dragon Quest as a franchise...

Dragon Quest is huge in Japan, and one of the first franchises that comes to mind when they think of video games. I think Gwen said it best when she compared it to Halo, because that's literally how big of deal it is over there. In fact, it's even bigger. Merch is everywhere, and game releases are pretty much an event. So much so that they have to release 'em on weekends, so kids wouldn't stay home from school just to play them.

 

[Deleted member]

You have ten words to sell me on something, anything.

Go.

Anything? Pineapples on Pizza
It's way better than it has any right to be.

The best part about all of that was that was during the time Etika was getting massive traction, but even then, everybody as a collective mind pretty much went

"where's Max's reaction"

 

[ThatOneAnon]

Why? Do you worry that Joker is gonna be a bad character?

Yeah, mainly that. Especially considering Sakurai wasn’t even planning to start development on him back when he was revealed.

 

[Just a penguin]

Do you ever think about how Waluigi is a nobody? He's just some guy who plays tennis with Wario?

For all we know, Waluigi works an office job as an accountant, and hangs out with the Mario gang on the weekends to play sports.

 

[soyperson]

Sakurai says that the reveal of Joker will be coming VERY SOON!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I don't see the point in comparing the two timespans. "Coming soon" is an incredibly common phrase, so I'm hoping that soon means soon.

Also, I once asked Charles Martinet and he said Waluigi is living his best life.

 

[Deleted member]

Go.

101 Dalmatian Street is cute and awesome, go watch it

 

[Opossum]

Stop saying Erdrick is coming as though it’s a definite fact please

There's a lot more going for Erdrick than against him. To ignore all of that outright just feels like sticking your fingers in your ears.

"where's Max's reaction"

View attachment 204862

It's because Etika constantly overreacts whereas Max's reaction was genuine as he's been vocal on loving FFVII. The fact he realized it instantly because of the music helps

A small part of me is worried as well. The only thing giving me hope is how much Sakurai loved that game. That's the only thing keeping me positive on it being a really good, faithful moveset.

The weekends part is a bit of a myth if I recall. Still its one of the few franchises along with Monster Hunter and Nintendo ones to obliterate pretty much every other franchise there, even FF and KH.

 

[Roberk]

Dread it, run from it, Erdrick still arrives.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Oh, okay...

Well, the fact that the Dragon Quest even has a myth related to it at all further cements it's legacy, for me at least.

No he doesn’t lol.
There won’t be a square rep.

Or any rep. DLC is canceled. Games are being recalled.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Honestly it's best to be pessimistic on expectations. I'm telling myself the rest of the DLC will be Banjo, Geno and Lycanroc so I won't get disappointed if one of them somehow do happen

Okay, honest to God.

Where did all the Lycanroc support come from.

He legit looks like a rejected Gen V lookin ass Pokemon. I mean, I'm sorry if there are still any supporters, but man, I just couldn't get myself to like or want to know this Pokemon at all.

I tried designing a thing.
