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

[Guh-Huzzah!]

i had a dream/nightmare/weird vision where SMM2's 3D world theme was paid DLC in the form of a £30 expansion pack

of all the weird dreams i've had, that was among the weirdest

I had a dream where someone said I was sexy and that I have "big **** energy."

Wait that was real ****

I partially agree with you, make no mistake.

My point is more, despite a point being aggressively made or maybe being a bit...antagonizing, what good does it do to simply make that person angrier or make them feel little? Sure, the presentation wasn’t great and was sure to bother somebody, but as I always say, “two negatives don’t make a positive in society. It makes a bigger negative”.

I also feel that, unfortunately, discourse in society cares less about the emotional reasoning for why people say certain things and we look to discredit the “what” and disregard the reasoning.

Then again, i’m like a pseudo existentialist and am likely too nice about things. It’s all I can do to stave off the encroaching existential dread.

To use a poor example, my philosophy in most situations is to "let the kid cry until he stops crying". I feel as though people don't grow and adapt if they aren't forced to; going out of your way to accommodate someone's very fixable faults only reinforces those faults in the person's mind as not being faults at all. Thus no one learns and the problem persists and more accommodating has to happen. Everyone loses.

But I'm not saying this specifically about Snake or the Minecraft situation. Just presenting my philosophy since ours differ.

I feel like my post has at least a bit of an objective critique in it. But can you blame me for being agressive when it's either "Minecraft is god and should be everywhere" or "You're satan for not liking it and wanting it's elements to stay where they belong"

Yet again, this is just another example of you thinking binary extremes as a backing for your opinion.
I think it's valid to feel the game is too limited to your liking, but I don't think it's accurate to say that because it's limited it's not worth being creative with it.

Like I said before, limitations beget creativity. With these limitations, people have made tons of incredibly impressive things and I'm not one to short them for it just because you can't freely paint.

If you had no limitations at all and can just paint however you would like, then that would be an art program and not a video game.

At least you can know everything you can build, thanks to the guide guy in the game and how recipes work.

That's also true. I didn't have that back in middle school.

Imagine the timeline where the Grinch leak was real. Where would we even be in speculation anymore?

I would be supporting Crash Bandicoot and Eight for the DLC season, that’s for sure.
And my friend from Madrid would be upset about the lack of Pokémon newcomers, so it would have actually been a worse scenario for me.

True. Can't really call it a perfect roster when I don't have Bomberman yet.

 

[Deleted member]

If you don't want me to be militant than stop invading the tings I like with elements that don't belong

i'm not doing ****

nobody on smashboards is doing ****

stop ****ting on randos on the internet for liking stuff they like

take your issues up with the developers or something i don't ****ing know but this weird crusade you got going on is not any of our problem

KMDP I wonder if you knew about this.

Yesterday on Twitter I was talking about how Sonic’s design was partially based on Felix The Cat and I used this art as an example:

Spoiler

I realized after posting it that the face looked familiar, and surprisingly enough the art I ended up thinking about was actually this:

Spoiler

Which comes from this old model sheet:

That particular art of Feelix can be fond on dvd/vhs covers and the official website/merchandise with the face itself being reused from an old comic cover.

Spoiler

So, like, Ohshima-san basically traced Sonic’s face from Felix?..

 

[Deleted member]

True. Can't really call it a perfect roster when I don't have Bomberman yet.

I just wouldn’t like to see my friends sad about the roster, more so my friend from Madrid who deserves some positivity in his life at the moment.

Having Incineroar in Smash felt great for him.

Alright, I'm on the boat that we should drop the Minecraft topic for now.

Let's talk about how good Banjo Kazooie is and how everyone who thinks otherwise is probably right

tbh same

i don't really care about anyone on the grinch leak besides like incin (was she even on the grinch leak i forget) so if the grinch leak came true i could just kinda be free to pray to our great lord sakurai for characters i actually care about

Nah, let’s talk about Kazoo Kid making a band with a Banjo player on the band.

I'd still be talking about Jill. So.

Not much would change.

Nope, eroar wasn't there. Probs one of the reasons it gained so much traction.

 

[Deleted member]

Meh, I didn’t mind that just for seeing my Pokémon friend enjoying Incineroar.

I can wait more time for Mach Rider if by doing so I make my friends happy.

Damn, Felix the Cat is honestly a classic, I remember that they showed the 50's or something cartoons early in the morning and I was always eager to watch. How old is the cat anyway?

Holy **** Felix the Cat turns 100 years old this year

Actually, the fact that Incineroar wasn't on there, was one of the main reasons why many insiders were iffy about it

 

[Gentlepanda]

absolutely one of the reasons it gained so much traction

people had been dreading incineroar for months, so anything that killed him off was extra appealing

of course then sakurai gave him a great moveset and shut everyone up, but those were some fearful days

 

[Deleted member]

how do you even have the most likes gwen

spiteliking

nobody wants anyone else to be at the top so we pour all our hatred of each other into gwen's like count so that none of us can claim the throne

See I'd be happy for a Kamen Rider but Mach Rider is a character I could live without

If I had a penny for every rime I thought that I'd be the richest person on the planet

 

[Gentlepanda]

spiteliking

step 1: make funny ****posts about gwen's like count

step 3: usurp gwen in like counts by ****posting about her like count

I AM ERROR, AND LOOK WHAT I GOT.

 

[Pyra]

For real though, as much as I'm a top tier Banjo supporter, the first game isn't THAT good.
I find it charming and I like the characters, and the locations, but some of the gameplay was a little stilted for my liking.
For instance, before Rare Replay, your note progress per world isn't saved iirc
Made getting a 100% hard. I did it on Rare Replay though.

A lot of issues that the game had though were fixed in Tooie though. Tooie is one of my favorite games.

 

[Deleted member]

I am just glad that Grinch wasn’t real because if it was I would have a friend sad for not getting a Pokémon newcomer for the first time in a Smash Bros game.

It may sound specific, but he was in a period where he needed anything positive happening in his life, as minor as the thing was.

 

[Arcanir]

It's been a while since we talked about

Merric.

Time to answer the call

Merric would be an interesting character. Robin has brought in a mage based moveset from FE and that's appreciated, but he still relies on the (Levin) sword for quite a few attacks, so Merric could easily stand out from him by focusing even more on magic and range over Robin's CQC. Additionally, there's very few characters that make use of wind attacks so something that plays into the strength of a tornado or using breezes to get proper spacing for attacks would also add some interesting flair to him.

The only issue is that IS seems to care about Archanea just as much as TCPi cares about Pokémon Z, so for Merric to make his debut he has to fight against his own company's perception to win favor with Sakurai.

 

[staindgrey]

how do you even have the most likes gwen

Because she chose the right name.

Everyone throws their likes at a cutie.

 

[Idon]

Well from the latest interview, we know Sakurai definitively approached Atlus for Joker, despite him saying the "selection was made by Nintendo." so who knows, perhaps Sakurai chose another character of a game franchise he was a fan of.

patiently waits for someone to compile a list of every game Sakurai has ever mentioned playing ever.

what was that game sakurai loved called again?

If Banjo got in, I would be happy for the fans.
I sadly never played Banjo and Kazooie, considering I do not have a N64.
Bolts and Nuts is not cutting it either.

cute girls get thousands of likes, how many can we get for our boys in grey

Honestly, Incineroar's inclusion just made me want more characters that "nobody wants".

I was under the impression that that indicated that "selection was made by Nintendo" was an awkward translation and that he was including himself in with the label

Could be wrong though, I didn't really care too much about it

Ah man this is so true, but that's why the Xbox version is considered the better version. They really starve you with honey combs in late game Banjo-Kazooie if you choose to avoid the dumb bee hives they introduced in like Freezeezy Peak.

Apologies if this is a bad time or if this rustles anyone’s jimmies but I just wanted to share this sweet Banjo-Kazooie for Smash art I found:
