Holy shit "Yeah" reacts?! The mad lads did it.

The only thing I'm missing that I quickly warmed up to on the Discord are the custom emotes, felt fun to express with "in-universe" stuff and may be more manageable on a board like this with a singular focus? I'll share this thought over in the feedback thread.

Imma be incredibly disappointed by reviews when they say the OST is forgettable for SMT V like they did with SMT 4.

[Mr_No_U]

I managed to nab a Dread CE pre-order but it hasn’t shipped yet. Getting nervous…

What's a "Community Liaison"?

[chocolate_supra]

My order page for the Dread SE continues to show the same thing it has shown for months.
I was worried WalMart was gonna goof my order, but.. maybe even they have yet to receive the shipment and are therefore freaking out and frantically refreshing their tracking just as much as I am?

What's a "Community Liaison"?

The Community Liaisons are a network of users meant to mediate views and concerns to administration and moderation if people think something needs discussing without wanting to report it themselves, especially if there are concerns about admins and mods. If CL-s are active in some (sub)communities, staff can consult them if there are problems or mass reports where staff is lacking context. Basically a network of users to help in preventing a rift between staff and members or staff going into major actions in subcommunities without properly understanding what's happening there.

Oh, I guess I'll nominate @Oregano as our Asano stan representative.

Ahh, that's a pretty smart system. Very nice

I'd add one more element: we're the ones who watch for dirty drawings on Miiverse. But seriously, who actually did that and how awful must it have been?

I actually do not care about potentially having another new model only 12-18 months later, haha. I'd buy that as well! But only with more power. This is the last model I'll be buying with the Tegra X1 base, a new model would have to come with a spec bump for me to bother at all.

Unless.... clamshell

 

[bellydrum]

Can't believe they added another anime sword fighter to smash

 

[Derachi]

Unless.... clamshell

I am going to be 100 clean with everybody here

If Nintendo made a clamshell Switch??? With an OLED display??????????????? Fam

If that Clamshell OLED Switch was somehow DOCKABLE???? I would LITERALLY pay up to $600 Canadian for it.

Another great feature here is that I was reading a thread while logged out, used the dialogue box at the top to log in and remained in the thread. Resetera would boot you out to the home page. This is do much better.

No doubt there were some mean-spirited posts on Miiverse, but I wish I could have seen the ones that would have made the moderators laugh before they did their job hitting the delete button

Wonder if prime 4 will be the Switch Pro/(whaterver they call it) launch title, that would be sick

As much as I think the DLC for Ultimate has been more or less great, I do sort of wish they had gotten weirder with it. I can think of a lot of iconic video game characters that I would have loved to have seen how Sakurai et al would have made them work. This was actually a thread idea I had: pitch an unlikely Smash character and describe (in as much detail as you’d like) how they’d play.

For example, I would have loved Agent 47 from the Hitman series. I figured he’d be EXTREMELY slow, but almost all of his attacks are 1 hit KOs. He would be like a whole character of that one Jigglypuff rest move where she can blast dudes to kingdom come if she times it right.

Another character I would have loved to have seen is Shiori Fujisaki from Tokimeki Memorial. The impact of that game was very well documented in Tim Rogers‘ review, so I won’t retread it here, but I absolutely think that game/series would have deserved representation. How she would have played? Well, I’m not sure. She IS very good at everything so her move set could be based on various school clubs. Her final smash would be to throw a giant bomb at her opponents.

Finally: I think Sakurai should have been able to add the Famicom Detective Club character Ayumi Tachibana like he wanted to in Melee, now that FDC is out in English.

 

[stingylettuce]

So next week is the Animal Crossing direct, woohoo!
I’m predicting N64 news the week of the 18th, and then to end the month, Age of Calamity DLC/Mario Party Superstars. Overall, what a busy month for Nintendo

It would make for a good system seller with the core/enthusiast crowd at least! I could see it.

I'm in.

(There are other Nintendo series I like way less than DK. I know, hard to believe!)

Oh shit. I'm out again.

 

[reconceptualize]

We're far enough removed from the game's release to say that Bravely Default and the sequel aren't good games, right?

And that Octopath Traveler is the superior experience?

 

[SammyJ9]

If someone actually refers to SMTV as the dark souls of persona in a review I will laugh so hard. Also die a little, but laugh

I hope the fact that almost all of the popular guys have been added to Ultimate encourages Nintendo/Namco/Sora Ltd to go with more unorthodox picks for the next Smash. You’re never going to top the likes of Steve, Sora or Cloud, or first parties like Ridley. Give us more left field stuff.

 

[Josh5890]

Target pre-order shipped! Expected delivery October 8th.

In the words of All Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"

I feel like the “next smash” is going to be a LOOONG ways away. And when it does happen, it’ll be a reboot, with a massively streamlined roster. I don’t think they can do another “Everyone is Here” ever again.

That said, I also wouldn’t rule out a Fighters Pass 3 happening a few years down the road? I dunno, I know they made a big deal of Sora being THE “FINAL” fighter but I dunno… I can’t imagine a world where these character packs aren’t massively profitable? I can see them going back to it once Sakurai has had a Smash break.

I'm positive their job would have been the healthiest form of a job that drives people insane for Facebook. Reading about those poor content folks is enough to make you want to shut down the site.

Facebook content moderators say they receive little support, despite company promises

“I don't really want to be numb to human suffering,” said one former content moderator.

www.nbcnews.com

“Sometimes it'll be that you realize that you've become desensitized to this, and you're like, well, that doesn't seem like a good thing,” he said. “I don't really want to be numb to human suffering.”

 

[Oregano]

Just catching up with the thread...

 

[totofogo]

Ugh, I was alllll ready to sell my Switch for the OLED and now I want to keep it to experiment with dolphin and xcloud

 

[Nakapol]

Next Switch will be one hell of BC because they need to prolong Smash Ultimate lifetime. Even a port of this can be a licensing hell.

 

[Gaiaknight]

gamestop charged my card for my OLED switch now just need that shipping notice and i can be be a very happy person

I've been wondering about this myself. Unless third-parties are loving the exposure and push Nintendo to keep their franchises in (which I doubt), I see the next Smash being almost only Nintendo characters (plus Sonic because Sega obviously wants him guest-starring in all the things) and none of the echoes and multiple versions (no Toon Link or Young Link, only "regular" Link, etc).

 

[mazi]

This year may not end having a 90+ Metacritic score. That's crazy.

forza horizon 5 is around the corner

 

[Marce-chan]

Wonder if prime 4 will be the Switch Pro/(whaterver they call it) launch title, that would be sick

I don't know if a real pro will be a thing but if it was BotW2 seems like the most possible candidate. Unless 2022 is too soon after the OLED and they release it in 2023, then MP4 is the best candidate yeah. Or maybe SMO2 or Mario Kart Next.

I don’t think third-party characters are all the way out, as I think they’re very integral to the soul of modern smash. That said, you’re absolutely right: they’ve got a lot of “roster cruft” they can absolutely shave down. Between redundant mirror characters (Echo or otherwise) and characters that were added for now-untimely relevancy, I think they can shave that roster down to about half and it’d be A-OK. I’ve always thought the ideal would be about 24-30 characters, and with the exceptions of Mario and Maybe Zelda, a hard limit of 2 characters per franchise.

Hell yeah it is! I just wish they would announce the soundtrack already so I can pre-tune my radio to the best channel.

Ah good, then Crono, Lucca, and Frog still have a chance.

 

[Green_Meeple]

I'm a little shy to leave lurker status... sorry if this wasn't the best thread to do this, but I've saw some people doing ITT.
But I've got to say as a lurker for years, I'm really glad to finally be able to be part of such a great community, so I really wanted to say hi to everyone before posting someplace else.
Also, very hyped for this end of the year on switch, I have Dread and SMTV preordered already and both seems to be turning into amazing games.

 

[Derachi]

Ah good, then Crono, Lucca, and Frog still have a chance.

I think Crono would be an excellent fit!

Reviewers seemed to have been scared away from making those comparisons nowadays honestly, at least for non-Soulslikes

Oof, I nearly forgot about that too. A double whammy of disgusting; mistreating the people who have to endure that kind of content and delete it before it spreads, and meanwhile propogating right wing misinformation and silencing those who promote BLM or simply state "men are trash"

smh my head and some of yall were shit talking IGN expecting them to give dred a low score

He's an anime keyfighter, it's completely different smh
