Why are Spaniards unhappy with Magneto?
Apparently, that alternate outfit for Magneto from Daystar's original post is derived from a Spanish ruler, and were offended that it was to be included in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. So Capcom removed the outfit, and no replacement has been submitted.

Magneto is the only character in the game to not have a DLC outfit.

Being deemed "Swag Master D" (Which is now my steam name) for my ability that I have two girls pursue me at the same time, I shall try and give a description.
Swag is assured confidence that is evident, whether through appearance or through one's actions. Given the circumstances, this can give an air of being badass. This can be done by being unfazed, stoic, professional, and having things under-control.
Swag can attract members of the opposite sex if they favor such actions.

It is the lesser version of class, with class being the more gentlemanly and holding a greater standard of etiquette, whether it be respectful or a honourable.

"Swag" is a bastardization of the term "Swagger" which means; to move with brisk confidence or arrogance. Ex: The rich man swaggered down the halls of his mansion.

Swag is like Dakka - you always need more of it, and you can never have enough.
If you have it, you don't need it. If you need it, you don't have it. If you have it, you need more if it. If you have more of it, you don't need less of it.


Captcha: Oh yes.

Even Captcha likes Bruce Campbell.

Currently popular culture is trying to decide how they want to use the word.

SWAGG double G usually, is an item or behavior that 'shows people who you are and what you're about' usually it's an article of expensive clothing. The end message is usually how cool someone is but it can differ. Typically it's based on context if someone IS swagg it's behavior that makes them cool if they HAVE swagg it can go either way.

Schwag with a sch is usually a stolen item or illegal drugs that are crap.

I know I'm a cop and had to have real life criminal/rapper/thug types explain it to me and since those are the types who usually start the trend I'm going with that definition.

Uh, one time I walked out of an exam, i happened to have one hand in my pocket and the other arm swinging, like arms usually do when walking, and a friend remarked on my swag, so...yeah.

EDIT: However I instinctively feel that you do not choose to be swag, swag chooses to be you.

Did someone say swag?

And this ladies and gentleman is the furthest from swag you can get. This man has absolutely no swag and should never be considered to have swag in anything but his name :p

Everyone, stop right now. The fact that OP has to ask what swag is, means they will never have it. They will never be able to achieve it, they will never, never realize the power of swag.
And for anyone trying to explain swag to the OP? You also, if even ever having swag, now have no swag whatsoever.

It's the crap you get free at conventions, E3, preorders at gamestop but those are usually digital though.

It's colloquial language for having a cocky sense of self-assurance. When said un-ironically it should be met with scorn and derision.
Unless you are one of those few people who truely have Swag as pointed out above. The only two I can also think of are Bruce Campbell and Isaiah Mustafa.

Swag = Phat Lewt, Coinage, Booty, Treasure, etc.
Also, a type of window valance that only covers the top of the window and is used to hide drapery hangers and hardware.

The Flash clearly possesses copious quantities of swag, as evidenced by this clip. Everything prior to 1:15 can be skipped.
Conan the Barbarian, also possessed of much swag (Of both kinds even!)
*insert generic Conan image of choice here*
