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

Welp, I think I’m gonna head off to bed, g’night everyone!



Don’t let 5-Volt catch you playing games when you should be asleep...

 

[RyuhoFox]

Wow that Jump Force beta. It was honestly pure trash. Got 1 fight and couldnt connect to a single other fight after that. The closed ran better it seems. That's awful

 

[DevaAshera]

That's a shame..I was looking forward to Jump Force..

 

[MasterOfKnees]

So I've been revisiting the music from the Sinnoh Pokemon games, and wow. I forgot how many honest-to-god bangers there are to be found. IMO every battle theme is gold. It's also the best region, come at me.
Between that and also revisiting the music of Pokemon Battle Revolution (underrated, btw), I'm getting kind of excited for Pokemon's Switch outing. We'll finally have Pokemon battles on the big screen. And hopefully this means we'll get some cool new Pokemon stage in Smash, at some point.
Seriously, Aether Paradise was right there. Incineroar needs a cool home :^(

Sinnoh's soundtrack has a lot of really really good songs, even as someone who doesn't like the games I still go back and listen to some of the tracks from time to time, but the soundfont is so poor, especially compared to the Gen 5 music we'd get later. Worst example is probably the Hall of Fame theme, it sounds like an intentionally awful parody version of the regular theme. I guess the one thing I can take from the inevitable remakes of the games is that its soundtrack will at least be done justice.

On the topic of Pokémon Switch, I really hope they re-do the animations to have the same level of personality as Colosseum/BR. It's incredibly unlikely, but I'm tired of these stiff and lifeless animations, there was an excuse for the 3DS games at least, but looking at Let's Go you wouldn't think it was made by a company as successful as Game Freak are. I really don't think there's too much of an excuse for things to have moved backwards over the past decade in this regard when Pokémon is as big as it is.

Actually there is.

GameFreak never made Colosseum, XD or Battle Revolution. They gave it to other studios.

Granted, they could and maybe should get help from outside studios again.

I wonder why Nintendo's never willing to get the other companies that worked on Pokemon spin-offs in for Smash.

Only Pokemon Spin-offs represented are Pokemon Snap and Detective Pikachu (Also the Meowth's party tech demo and depending on how you look at them, the Let's Go games)

So many great games, so little representation.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So, what’s new?

One possibility is that Game Freak doesn't want Pokemon games they didn't work on in Smash. If we're gonna advertise something, it should be us. That kind of attitude.

Or, the issue may be one of complicated rights. Who really owns the soundtrack of the Orre games, for example?

Regardless, I'm glad Game Freak still sees that those games are good and should be made in the first place.

Um.....

New avatar?

Oh my word the Yoshi to the right is pissed.

It's a thing I noticed in a lot of Nintendo works, they really don't like using the work of others.
Even outside of the rights issues, Super Mario Land only had the gameplay and Mario in common with the rest of the games, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat seemed to take place in an alternate Universe where the only Rare thing was DK's design and his animal buddies were new, edgy variants of the old ones. The Capcom developed Zelda games (Oracle Ages, Oracle Seasons and Minish Cap) are barely referenced these days. Even Sakurai himself is somewhat guilty of this as outside of Kirby's Final Smash all the significant Kirby representation has come from games he directed.

I think it's part of what makes Smash Bros so special, that all these series are coming together when the same company has a hard time keeping things consistent lore-wise

I'd say the reason for Snap stuff was because of HAL having a helping hand on the game, and the Detective Pikachu stuff is likely there to capitalize on / spread awareness for the upcoming movie

Not sure why they don't bother with anything else, though.

Licencing, maybe?

Pokemon, itself is a licensing nightmare, so trying get all of the spin-off stuff, might be even harder

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

A lot of people are considering an Undertale rep, and they expect Sans, but honestly I would say Frisk makes more sense. He’s the protagonist, has great move set potential, etc.

 

[Deleted member]

Whilst we’re discussing an Undertale rep, I’d like to bring up the possibilty of a Five Night’s at Freddy’s rep.

It’s a horrible idea.


I’m quite the FNAF fan myself, but a FNAF character in Smash makes no sense. You couldn’t do much besides some FNAF World moves, and I don’t think the characters are actually a good fit for FNAF.

(Victory theme is the 6:00 am bell. lol)

 

[Masked Marshmallow]

The weird part about Frisk getting in would be that a pacifist would be fighting people.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

An Idea that I had was that each of his moves has one of his friends fighting for him, if that makes any sense.
I think someone online actually made a Moveset that showcases a good pacifist playstyle for Frisk...

On the topic of Indie reps, who do you guys think has a chance of being the first Indie rep in Smash?
I personally only see Shantae, Quote and Reimu for potential Indie reps, in this order from most likely to less likely.

Shantae I think was the first Indie in a Nintendo console/portable, and she has quite the popularity here in the west.
Cave Story is the father of Indie games, and has been in pretty much every Nintendo console/portable since the DS.
Touhou is the biggest Indie game franchise in the world and is insanely popular in Japan and has a decent following in the west.

If Shovel Knight was still valid, I'd put him above Shantae. But he's an AT (which is quite the achievement for an Indie character).

I’d have to say the kid from Cave Story, (I don’t know his name) Shantae, And Frisk stand a chance.

His name is Quote, he's a robot soldier. I recommend playing Cave Story, it's a really good game. I also love his design, especially this one.

Cave Story’s a good game? Can I Quote you on that?

I voice a few characters in video, indie games, ya know. If one of them was so popular they got into smash in some form I would love my mind.

I'm studying game design so I can make my own Indie game one day. I've been writing stories and creating characters ever since I was 8. Programming is tough, but I'm determined to learn it and make my project real one day.

What it is: The licencing's tough and they don't want to do it.

What I tell myself: Grovyle will be DLC with a ton of Spinoff stuff.

2 days till Smash Bros. 20th Anniversary What do you guys think Nintendo will do to celebrate?

Absolutely nothing.

Or they just send out a tweet saying it’s the 20th anniversary.

That’s all I really see them doing.

Good luck! This software may not be for everyone, but Clickteam might be a good start?

There’s a website called Casting Call Club that could probably help. You can hire voice actors, audio engineers, musicians, etc. over there. When the game starts to pick up, let me know! I’d like to help.

Edit: Wrong post. Sorry. But I think you know what I meant to respond too.
