Smacking an Ice Cream

Author's Note: This comic is based on the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale cutscene where Kratos from God Of War encounters Twisted Metal's Needles Kane, and vice versa. Kratos, thinking that Needles Kane was another pawn of Polygon Man's malevolent plans, smacks Needles Kane's ice cream.

Here, you can see from left to right, an arrow fired from an Archer Lemming, a javelin hurled by a Spearer Lemming, a dagger thrown by King Arthur from Ghosts'n Goblins, a baseball, possibly thrown by either a Thrower Lemming or a pitcher Mii from Wii Sports and Wii Sports Club, and the sword from Dragon's Lair wielded by Dirk the Daring, all of them smacking Needles Kane's ice cream.

It's definitely not a good idea to smack Needles Kane's ice cream, because there are only two ways it will end. Either you emerge victorious over Needles Kane, or you perish at the hands of Needles Kane. Maybe this is why Kratos does not want to speak about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale in God Of War Ragnarok.

Sniped

Looks like the Team Fortress 2 Sniper is on a sniping streak in this comic. Perhaps I should start making more Team Fortress 2 comics...

Don't worry about Sir Arthur. Even a sniper rifle round from the Team Fortress 2 Sniper will only break his armor, leaving him in his underpants. Other than that, Sir Arthur will remain unharmed.

If there is any way to solve Birdo's gender identity crisis, just let the Team Fortress 2 Sniper shoot her dead.

Not even King K Rool's belly armor can prevent a sniper rifle round from the Team Fortress 2 Sniper from piercing through and critically injuring him. How's that for eliminating a villainous crocodile?

Accept it, Awesome Possum. Nobody likes you. You're better off dead at the hands the Team Fortress 2 Sniper.

If there is any Disney character who should get shot dead by the Team Fortress 2 Sniper as part of a full scale assault against Disney's bad business ethics, it's Mayor Gene from Wreck-It Ralph. His bullying of Ralph was what made Ralph go AWOL in the first place.

Who cares if some RuneScape noob gets sniped dead? For all we know, he could be using illegal macros to gain an unfair advantage.

Kyubey deceiving teenage girls is so unforgivable that he deserves to get shot dead by the Team Fortress 2 Sniper.

Orange is not a popular crewmate color in Among Us as it is the color that gets persecuted the most, and it does not help when one of the Impostors is an orange crewmate. Even if the whole orange crewmate is an Impostor thing is true, he either gets largely ignored, or he gets persecuted by those who want the Impostors gone. That's why the crewmate that got shot by the Team Fortress 2 Sniper is the orange one. He could be one of those Impostors, but everyone ignores him anyway, which is why the Impostors have a high win rate in Among Us.

Vicky is a terrible babysitter who should get shot dead by the Team Fortress 2 Sniper. That is all I can say about her.

The design of MapleStory's Shivermail armor is ridiculous. It makes female archers look like they are in their underwear. As a low-level archer armor, it would definitely not stop a sniper rifle round from killing the wearer.

If I were the Team Fortress 2 Sniper, I would like to kill Bowser in angry response to his villainy. After all, it's time we doubled our efforts on our offensive against Nintendo's bad business ethics, and Nintendo's villains such as Bowser and King K Rool are going to bear the brunt of our anger against Nintendo's bad business ethics.

Thrown Weapons

Throwing weapons featured in this comic: Throwing axe (Castlevania), lance-shaped javelin (Ghosts'n Goblins), dagger (Castlevania, Ghosts'n Goblins), stick grenade (Metal Slug), large shuriken (Ninja Gaiden), pitfall seed (Animal Crossing).

Axes are a common sub-weapon in Castlevania, and this is showcased in Super Smash Bros Ultimate by Simon and Richter as their neutral special move.

A lance-shaped javelin would be a silly weapon, especially in Ghosts'n Goblins. Yet Sir Arthur hurls them at the bad guys without giving a thought about how silly the weapon looks. At least it's not as silly as the breakable armor Sir Arthur wears.

Daggers as a throwing weapon are very common, and are featured as weapons in Castlevania and Ghosts'n Goblins, though daggers are more popular in the latter.

Stick grenades are a powerful alternative weapon in Metal Slug available to the player from the start.

Ryu Hayabusa is known for throwing shurikens in the NES Ninja Gaiden, including large shurikens.

The pitfall seed from Animal Crossing can be thrown at opponents to ground them in the Super Smash Bros series.

In general, throwing weapons have been a staple feature throughout video game history.

The War for the Final DLC Slot

Now that Tekken's Kazuya has taken the penultimate Fighters Pass Volume 2 character slot, one question remains. Who will the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character be? And no, Sakurai is not telling who it will be during his presentation on Kazuya Mishima.

However, here are my eight candidates for the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character, and six of them, including honorable mention Dirk the Daring, were from my Fighters Pass Volume 2 candidates comic. All they need to do now is to get into a huge all-out war for the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character slot and we will finally be done and over with Super Smash Bros Ultimate's DLC so that we can prepare for an even bigger war to come.

Update: Sora from Kingdom Hearts qualified for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, meaning none of the characters in this comic will be in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Stabbed By Schezo

Note to self: Wearing red or black will hide bloodstains.

Let's face it. Professor Samuel Oak lied to everybody who went on a quest to become the very best that no one ever was. Not to mention that not only was he originally going to be the endgame in Pokemon Red and Blue, but he was actually a very terrible mentor to many people, including his own grandson, and let's not forget about his nepotism. That's why Schezo Wegey from Puyo Puyo should impale him.

Don't worry about King Arthur. Even if Schezo impaled him, only his armour will break, but he would still be just fine. This was demonstrated in Project X Zone, where King Arthur got caught in a world-destroying blast, but only his armour got destroyed, and he was still intact in his underwear.

Schezo's stabbing spree wouldn't be complete without a Sega character, or in this case, a villainous Sega character. And no Sega villain is more prominent than Dr Ivo Eggman Robotnik. The Dr Eggman featured in this comic getting stabbed is the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version.

If Game Theory taught me anything, the Toads from the Super Mario series could actually be a far bigger threat than Bowser would ever be since 1985. Not only did they insult Mario, Luigi and many people who played Super Mario Bros by telling them that their princess is in another castle, but it turns out that they are not mushrooms at all, and possibly parasites. If Toad insulted Schezo, Toad would definitely get stabbed by the white-haired sword-fighter.

Ash Ketchum's original nemesis Gary "Shigeru" Oak must die for all those times he bullied Ash and for all the Pokemon fans, myself included, that he tormented since 1996, by getting impaled by Schezo, and I don't care if this grandson of Professor Oak was named after Mario's creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Justice must be delivered, whether it is too morbid or not.

Speaking of Shigeru Miyamoto, it turns out that he actually liked Waluigi. Also, Masahiro Sakurai did not say that he disliked Waluigi. It was because Waluigi was a very unsympathetic character, and Luigi's self-proclaimed rival has to suffer huge levels of misfortune for being mean-spirited. Waluigi was portrayed as the most unlikable character in the "Brawl in the Family" webcomic. Therefore, Schezo should impale Waluigi and put him out of his misery.

Fighters Pass Volume 2 Potential Candidates

Author's Note: These characters are my pick for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Fighters Pass Volume 2. For those wondering why are Fighters Pass outsiders being considered for DLC, that's because Piranha Plant is currently the only DLC character who is not part of the Fighters Pass Volume 1 DLC package, as well as the fact that there will be more DLC characters after the completion of Fighters Pass Volume 1.

Given that Bandai Namco is currenty the lead development studio in Smash Bros production, Klonoa will have higher priority over the other five characters in Fighters Pass Volume 2, although his Wind Bullet would cause problems regarding character inflation.

In regards to Arle, she will be a far better Sega representative than Sonic and Bayonetta combined, especially when Puyo Puyo is the only Sega franchise doing better than Sonic.

Similar to how Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters brought in music from various SNK games, including those from Metal Slug into Smash Bros, Rit from Rod Land and Soldam would introduce Jaleco music to Smash Bros.

Just like Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Lana from Hyrule Warriors came from another Koei Tecmo-developed game. However, I will expect her trailer to be received with more positive reception than Byleth's trailer.

Contra's Bill Rizer would be very unlikely, despite the popularity of Contra and the Konami Code on Nintendo consoles, because Masahiro Sakurai does not want any realistic guns in Smash Bros.

And finally, Sir Arthur will be yet another unlikely character because his armour break mechanic will complicate the gameplay mechanics, and being reduced to a pile of bones will be too disturbing for younger audiences.

Update 1: The first Fighters Pass Volume 2 character is confirmed to be Min Min from ARMS, so one of these six characters will not make the cut, and it's most likely the one with the realistic guns.

Update 2: Steve from Minecraft, along with Alex, a Zombie and an Enderman, are filling the second Fighters Pass Volume 2 slot, meaning another candidate will not make the cut.

Update 3: Cloud's arch-rival Sephiroth has been confirmed to be the third character in Fighters Pass Volume 2. This means yet another character will not make the cut.

Update 4: Pyra and Mythra have booked their spots, and Sir Arthur's armour is a Mii Swordfighter costume. Surprisingly enough, it does not break apart unlike the armours in the Ghosts'n Goblins series.

Update 5: Heihachi Mishima's son Kazuya is going to represent Tekken in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. In my honest opinion, the second Bandai Namco rep should have been Klonoa.

Update 6: Sora from Kingdom Hearts is the final Fighters Pass character, meaning the leakers' claims that Sora was going to get that final slot were right all along. This means none of Neo Retro Union's candidates for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's DLC character slots qualified at all...
