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

[Shroob]

...Now see.

"Punished Scott" isn't just a whole thing about being a part of the SmashBoards lore, it's a way of life. It's hard to keep up this form, and I had to break free. While yes, you can see the heartbreak in people like Etika, RogersBase, ZeRo during that November Direct... It would only be a simple fraction of the heartbreak that I took. The wars that we shared just to push our fellow salvager... For what? All those months, all this time, and only just for the fellow man to be skinned?

You wouldn't believe how much whiplash it gave me. I finally realized what it meant to lose something that you loved with all your heart, pushed and nurtured like a proud father. People around this thread might not like their origins, and yeah, they look rather weird.

But no one in this goddamn thread loved Rex & Pyra more than I do.

I was broken. I changed man. When I was around all the moments when we all saw the info brokers fall, leaving only Spawn and Panda in that lonely island we saw that night, with DaybreakHorizon howling with joy at the sight of the Calling Card, I could only feel happiness for others. Yet... Not for myself. I lost that long ago.

Now? I have a regained hope. Something awoke inside me again, when we all made pacts. I couldn't help but to 1-up everyone. My gimmick, my persona, my soul and ****ing being. That bet turned me from "Punished Scott" to "Reformed Scott". You can't lie on the past forever. You gotta get back up and throw one last punch, even if it means winning or losing it all. That's why I did it. For the good of others, for the people who wanted Banjo & Kazooie for 20 years... and for me.

Shroob... You have my respect.

I hope the people of SmashBoards will remember me.

I ****ing salute you, Mr.Woz

 

[Hinata]

I'm gonna watch the first episode tonight.

I think it's the red eyes that did it. I feel scared of the consequences if I don't.

Also since you said you liked the first opening song for the anime, I feel compelled to show you the second opening.

Just be warned there are some, uh... interesting shots in it.

 

[staindgrey]

Oh hey I just noticed your new signature.

Very nice, I have to say.
One, I'm impressed you managed to find all those images of Jill (even if one is technically Cammy)
Two, you put some effort with the whole transparent bottom and Jill being behind it.

Thank you. I had to figure out how to keep a static background and foreground while animating only the middle frames. Trial and error but I eventually figured it out.

I actually originally had the PS1 "casual" alternate costume instead of Cammy in her Jill outfit, but the low polygon look was jarring and I thought Cammy was funnier.

I think I might open the .PSD tomorrow to replace the two RE5 images in the middle. The way they cut off to black doesn't look good. I should have them fade inward instead.

Even if I lose the Erdrick bet, it is a small wound compared to what you'll lose. I don't really have a persona here like you, so it's something that I can't bet.
Respect your dedication and putting yourself on the line, either outcome you'll be a legend here.

 

[Shroob]

Could I live in a world where I lose both Tehponycorn AND Scottposting?


I don't wanna think about that.

 

[Zinith]

Could I live in a world where I lose both Tehponycorn AND Scottposting?


I don't wanna think about that.

Is the bet that either Erdrick or Banjo is the next reveal? Or is it that either one of them will be DLC regardless of order?

 

[TheBeastHimself]

Where is this Smash direct...

 

[Shroob]

Is the bet that either Erdrick or Banjo is the next reveal? Or is it that either one of them will be DLC regardless of order?

Two unconnected bets. First is Erdrick next, then it's Banjo at E3.

 

[staindgrey]

Yeah aside from the almost-panty-shots that opening is fun as hell to watch. I wish full episodes of any anime were this well animated all the way through.

Fun fact: I used your version of the anyone is here signature as a base for the dimensions. And then I cut out one of your Jill pictures for each of the colored sections to make sure I got the dimensions right.

...But I didn't wanna cut out more than one picture, because I'm lazy, so for a brief moment, my template looked like...

This.

Pffft, "almost-panty-shots". The animated version of the first OP has a REAL, unadulterated panty shot in the first 20 seconds.

15 RE characters in Smash, all of them Jill.

Sakurai bias getting wild.

 

[Z25]

In the end, if Banjo doesn't get in, it'll still make for a fantastic piece in SmashBoards history. If he gets in? ****ing Avengers: Endgame alternate ending leaked, boys. I did it.

But honestly, ever since Joker's reveal at The Game Awards it's so ****ing boring, and the February Direct didn't help at all. So? The death pacts and bets made this a hell of a lot more interesting than just ZoePosting, Banjo VS. Steve, "Erdrick ain't in Smash, etc."

I'm glad I somehow even made people who didn't like Banjo such as you, osby and others now want him just for the meme. This is almost starting to become this site's "Sub to PewDiePie" almost, now that I think about it, haha.

But hey, we gotta take **** in our own hands, and dammit, if this means the last time I'll ever be Scott the Woz, so be it. After all...

I know what it's like to lose.

As someone who’s been more on banjo being brave then anyone else, your pose made it all the more fun for both sides.

Your post is a masterpiece and shows how fun memes are during the speculation cycle. The endgame of it all should be fun

 

[Fenriraga]

So beat the "Final"? Palace in Persona 5 (Or at least what I think is the final one? People who played it prolly know what I'm getting at) and now I'm just twiddling my thumbs and filling out my confidants waiting for the deadline.

Maxed out Sojiro just now and he's talking about how he wonders if Futaba will be someone's bride someday...

...

Doing all of this after dating Futaba makes me feel like I'm dating my sister and I'm uncomfortable.

Oh my Cod it's so beautiful.

Funny thing is I haven't seen the opening, just listened to the full song over and over. I'm seriously going into this show completely blind.

After I watch it will I finally get my weeb license? Like, on a scale of 1-10 how anime is this anime.

You know what? I'll let you figure that out. You said you're going into the show completely blind.

Let's keep it that way.

 

[Zinith]

Oh my god, I have a massive headache and my tooth hurts like hell. I might have a fever...

 

[Shroob]

I actually don't like the 2nd OP nearly as much as the first.

I also have never watched the show but I loved the Big Band and Swing feel of the OP 1; the 2nd OP doesn't really do anything for me.

 

[Deleted member]

Put Goku in Smash you cowards you won't.

 

[Deleted member]

I gotta say, though, if there actually is gonna be another Smash Direct. It's coming off of the November Direct, which whether we like it or not, is probably the most polarizing Nintendo Direct of all time. And unfortunately, it ain't anybody but Nintendo's fault. Vinny Vinesauce put it best back after that Direct aired. "You aren't gonna find a lot of people who'll say this is a 10/10 Direct, nor people who'll say this was a "Good Direct"."

It was pretty mediocre, even if you exclude the Pepe Silvia of all gaming hoaxes, the Grinch Leak. Pacing was bad, information roll out was pretty piss poor, all of it was pretty "meh". Whether it'll be this month or after E3, it really needs to be good. Hell, I'd even say Final Smash Presentation for Smash For, in all honesty, wasn't even that bad compared to the November Direct.

I don't think that Joker, Erdrick and stuff like Home-Run Contest and Stage Builder is worth a Direct. I think we need something more beefier than that, kinda like a mix of Smash For's April Direct pre-release and the "New Content Approaching!" Video Presentation. We already know Stage Builder now, yet we don't see HRC. We still haven't seen Joker at all, and not to mention, that February Direct mention was an absolute joke.

The current roll out of Smash Ultimate post-game content has been pretty hit or miss, so to add onto that alongside being the Direct after the November Direct, it has a lot to live up to. I sincerely hope that if a Smash Direct ever happens, please just let it be somewhat good.

I'm not convinced HRC is even coming this patch, if at all.


The only things I'm betting on is 4 things specifically:


Joker

Mementos

Stage Builder

Brave's reveal

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Don't know if you guys heard but apparently Hellboy's in Brawlhalla.

Funny given I've been getting into the series and will begin reading it since I bought the first volume.

 

[osby]

I hope you get well soon, try resting if it's possible.

People are going to be pissed regardless of what's in it. At this point, I'm down for Nintendo doing whatever, me ignoring everyone's opinion that isn't my own and going about playing Smash in my normal life.

 

[Shroob]

I'd be willing to bet that Brave will get revealed in whatever Direct we get, but that's the most that I'm willing to bet.

Mostly because it's a very safe bet with a good chance of paying out.


Joker's coming this month, and they're not going to leave us without a character to look forward too, especially if they release said character during E3, which in turn gets eyes on E3 to focus on the news.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh my god, I have a massive headache and my tooth hurts like hell. I might have a fever...

Ouch. Which tooth? Canine, molars…?
Perhaps try some pain relievers too. Where in the head does it hurt?

 

[PsySmasher]

Welp... apparently this time of day seems to be when the best players tend to play on Quickplay since I played mostly people that had 4.1 million+ GSP.
They are mostly good players... but then you got people like this one I fought who just spammed Roller the entire match. And they had 4.2 million GSP... under standard rules.

Just... why? Eh... I got some free GSP off of it, so I guess I can't complain.
Anyway, my quest to get a 2nd character in Elite continues. I got at 4.2 million and at 4 million, so hopefully I can get one of them into Elite before my online subscription expires in about a month.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I'd like Brave to be revealed only to remind us there's still 3 more DLC characters we know nothing about. Like Brave has a codename to frame discussion on but everyone is else just a blank slate.

 

[staindgrey]

15 RE characters in Smash, all of them Jill.

I thought the November Direct was good. Not great. But good. People got themselves carried away, as they always do. But that wasn't the Direct's fault. Meanwhile the reveals weren't great, but they were well done. I do agree the pacing was a little off (though pacing in Directs is usually inconsistent). But if people had kept expectations in check, I think they would've walked away... not ecstatic, but content. I think. I did. And I mean, they deconfirmed Isaac in that Direct.

That said, having Joker, Erdrick, HRC, and Stage Builder (and presumably Mii Costumes) in a Direct wouldn't be too anemic. It'd be less than the pre-release Directs, but pretty on-par with the Roy/Ryu Direct and the Corrin/Bayo one.

My Ganondorf is at 4.1 million. So close to Elite Smash…
I had to push hard to get it back up though, after a Zelda with 4.3 who used nothing but that knight dude thingy and the exploding fireball dragged it down to 3.2…

 

[staindgrey]

So uh. I think my creative process came back to me.

I just worked the lyrics of Saliva's "Ladies and Gentlemen" into our script.

 

[Shroob]

If Brave "ISN'T" shown in the next Direct, then I have many questions.


Is E3 going to be a multi-release like last time? Because by the time that E3 rolls around, the clock is ticking on that Feb. end date.


The game's been out for 5 months now, and the only DLC character we have is Plant, who was worked on alongside the base roster, and Joker, who'll come sooner or later in a couple days/weeks.


They have 8 months to release 4 characters, and after June, the windows for "Directs" honestly is pretty small if we take into account 2018's utter droughtfest of "Nintendo" Directs.


We'd probably get one in September, one in December/November, and then maaaaaaaybe one in Feb?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Well, that's no fun. You have people over here risking their accounts, and you can't even muster up the resolve to meet the same conditions?

Here is the thing. I did threaten to delete my account and never come back, but the thread got in a spiral.
The reason I do not want to make an alt account is deleting this account and coming back to post will never be the same.
If you want me to delete my account and never come back, then you will have to ask DaybreakHorizon .

@ShinyLegendary wheedled his way out of his own death bet.

Personally, I'd like to have him bet his account like @Zeke The Zekenator, @Bolderousness, @ShotoStar, and @Onereasonanddone have all bet. However, if it means him never coming back to the site then that's too far for mine and everyone else's tastes. If he were willing to open an alt account (like the rest of us are just going to end up doing anyways) that'd be one thing, but if he's gonna go all or nothing like that then I'd rather take nothing and have him still be around.

Yo @ShinyLegendary how about if I win you also have to play a game of the thread's choosing and post about it? Since if we lose we gotta play Fates (except ShotoStar who plays Blazing Sword). I know that wasn't in the original terms of our bet, but I think it'd make things a bit more equal. If you've got ideas or things you're willing to bet on your side I'm open to them as well.

 

[N3ON]

The real kicker is alt accounts aren't allowed. So when you come back you just get banned. Thus, losing the bet truly erases you from Smashboards.

The stakes be real.

 

[Shroob]

Everyone still here talking about HRC like it's happening.

I didn't see it in the G&M menu.

Like, I know it's silly since it's a mode most people play once and never again, if at all, but to see it in the code only for it to not happen would be a **** tease for me. If we get Stage Builder back, it's the only other missing mode I even care about.


I know there's a possibility of it in future updates, but I can't count on those.

 

[Idon]

I'm curious about Astral Chain, considering it's another platinum deved Nintendo game despite how that didn't go very well for W101.
