[Sothis:] “This was NOT what I pictured in my head when Marth 8.0 and I first read that ‘Everyone is Here’ slogan.”
This is perhaps the longest Stupid Smash Bros. strip I’ve done to date, and the one with the largest file size to boot, but in the wake of the entire Western Smash fanbase throwing an epic shitstorm over Byleth’s reveal, I couldn’t stop myself. This comic may sound like an author tract on my part, and to some extent it is (I try to ignore fandom activity and just enjoy the media itself for a reason), but you’d think that if the Smash fighters were aware of the series’ fandom and the ugly business it gets caught up in every so often, even they would want to give everybody a collective chill pill as much as Sakurai apparently does (at least given what he’s said about those on Twitter demanding specific characters, anyhow).
Maybe someone does appreciate Piranha Plant after all…
The original text source for this one was from a Tumblr blog that was deleted since I last saw it, but @kira-vera captured it in more or less its entirety here. Go check out her work, it’s adorable as heck!
“Peach, I can’t believe I’m saying this, let alone to you of all people, but when it comes to who has the right to join the roster, even I have to draw the line somewhere.” “So, does that right also go t-” “No, Waluigi does notcount.”
That last panel might seem like it’s not lazy, but in a way it kind of is, at least to me. I’d actually finished the pic itself previously, but with different dialogue (I can share where the original is via PM); I was gonna just leave this strip off at Panels 5 and 6, but I figured the completed picture would make a better art-shift punchline to one of these strips, so I threw it in.
Also, there’s a very subtle reference to one of the Smash Bros. games in the first two panels (and no, it ain’t the fact that Master Hand is literally a clipart I got from Microsoft Word lol). See if you can spot it!
[Dark Pit:] “THIS IS NOT FINE! OH MY GOD EVERYTHING’S GETTING BEAMED!!”
The first in a series of silly sucky Nintendo fancomics in the vein of both Brawl in the Family and@eunnieverse‘s Dumb_RWBY. This one’s based on this famous webcomic by KC Green.
