WTF SMASH BROS #2
The two of them play like a deformed ice climbers. When Mario gets tired Sonic(?) just whispers sweet little nothings into his ear - i.e GOTTA GO FAST OR ILL KILL YOU AND HARVEST YOUR LIFE MUSHROOMS.
This keeps Mario motivated to keep giving his all! These 2 really are the best duo, especially after the Luigi incident (RIP)...

Erm, actually… It is called Battle Brawl 7. I know that because official books and stuff say that this game is actually called Battle Brawl 7. But jokes aside, I would actually buy this game.

Wow Smash Ultimate Deluxe for Switch 2 is looking great.

Masterpost
My name's Rhys and welcome to my Pieces... of art. Haha, gottem.
This is a masterpost, as mentioned previously. By the title, you might have seen him around. He likes to check in sometimes. The titles of the tags below will be links, and this post is of course subject to change when I am able. It's not always going to be up to date, and for that I apologize in advance.
Please note that my art should not be interpreted as t-cest, ever.
Yes, you may color any sketches or lines i post unfinished unless otherwise stated in the post! All I ask is that you tag me when you post it so I can see too!
Asks - I use this tag for responses to asks. This is not an askblog, but I do want to challenge myself to draw a response for any asks I answer. This means I will be drawing the blorbos responding to them or reacting to them sometimes. Feel free to block the tag if it becomes annoying; control your dashboard!
Coloring book - These are drawings other people have colored!
AMV tag - I edit sometimes!
Categories for tag sorting are under the cut so as not to clog up the blog/dash.
Series Drawings
Sets of drawings where I draw at least the 4 core turtles in a specific scenario or theme.
Gear Swap - The turtles with weapons, gear, or powers switched around!
Let's hang out with Dad - The turtles get to go on father-son bonding time with Splinter. This tag encompasses anything where they are just being a loving family.
Super Smash Brothers - Small series where the turtles get smash bro victory screens
Crossovers
Those pesky turtles, showing up in all my franchises..!
Overwatch - No trickety tricks, it's the turtles as characters from Blizzard's Overwatch
AUs
It's what it says on the tin, baby, fun little canon divergences where I, the artist, enact my will on my blorbos
AU Where Everything Is The Same But They Have a Cat - It's an AU where everything is the same, but they have a cat named Klunk because Rise deserves one too!! Because my cat is perfect and beautiful, it is modeled after my perfect and beautiful cat and her antics.
Youngest Big Brother - This AU tag is a catch-all for Turtle Tots content. Mostly when I draw the tots it is keeping the scrapped episode in mind where Leo, Raph, and Donnie are cursed and become Little Kids, and Mikey has to step up as a big brother.
Other Tags
If you have a kind of drawing you like that I do and want me to group it, send me an ask! I'll update 'em and pop 'em on the masterpost for you.

The Surprise Meeting..
An SMG-E0 fic by @hi-imlooneybirdie Inspired by lores-cool-stuff/libby-twq (an older fic that I forgot abt but I'll make a part 2 if yall are interested)
The SMG4 Crew were on the showgrounds doing the usual things. SMG4 making memes. SMG3 running his cafe. Meggy and Tari playing video games. Mario having to help Luigi make a new sign for his flower shop. Bob and Boopkins talking about anime and hot women. Saiko and Melony chilling.
It felt normal... oddly normal for the day..
Then the door to the castle knocked. Smg4 was the first one to hear it, so he was the first one to walk up. The knocking kept persisting as 4 got closer to the door. He swung the door open, thinking it was important. He looked around and saw Smg1 and Smg2 outside, both looking nervous.
4: "Oh hey 1 and 2!"
He didn't notice at first, but the two were a bit concerned.
4: "Wait, is there something wrong? DID THE UNIVERSE START TO COLLAPSE AGAIN???"
Smg1 spoke up first. "Well.. theres something we both have to tell you.."
4 cocked his head to the side. "Sure.?"
2: "We actually need you to get Mario, 3 and Meggy as well. Its important if we tell them too."
"Ok? Just give me one sec." Four opened the door to let One and Two in. He grabbed out his phone, and texted SMG3. Soon after, he walked to the gaming room where Meggy and Mario were playing Super Smash Bros. Tari was watching from Meggy's side, since she thought the two were getting a bit too competitive.
MG: "YOU'RE GOING DOWN MARIO!!"
M: "NUH UH!"
Meggy had Mario's character almost finished, she just had to deliver one more punch. But SMG4 stood in front of the tv. "Alright you two. I got something important to tell you guys."
M: "WHA! BUT MARIO WAS JUST ABOUT TO BEAT-"
MG: "Its fine Mario, let Tari play with the switch. We can have a rematch later."
Mario crosses his arms with anger. Meggy stood up and stretched her arms.
MG: "So whats the problem 4?"
4: "I don't know Meggs. One and Two needed you, me, Mario and 3 for this. C'mon, its important." He walks out of the room, with Meggs and Mario following behind. By the time they saw One and Two, Smg3 was already there talking up a storm with the two smaller meme guardians. "Oh hey losers, whats up?" 3 spoke. Four turned towards SMG1 and SMG2 4: "I brought Meggy and Mario, just as you requested Two." 2: "Thats good. Now theres something important we need to tell you four.." TO BE CONTINUED (probably)

The "This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo" from the Nintendo Switch successor announcement tweet has such meme potential.
Like: This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. I am getting my ass handed to me by Sakurai-san in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game available now for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

7 Times Princess Zelda Was Actually Playable
From legendarily bad starring roles, to fan-servicey cameos.
Despite having her name smack dab in the middle of just about every game in the Zelda franchise, few titles let you play as Hyrule’s iconic princess. Today, her first true starring role, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom lands on Switch. What better occasion to look at the instances that Zelda was a playable character?
Who is Princess Zelda?
When first developing the world of The Legend of Zelda, series creator and Nintendo wizard Shigeru Miyamoto decided to name Hyrule’s princess after Zelda Fitzgerald.
“She was a beautiful woman by all accounts, and I liked the sound of her name,” Miyamoto said. Since the series began in 1987, Hyrule’s princess would always be named Zelda, which is later established as official royal tradition. In most games, Zelda is the damsel being rescued, usually by the hero, Link.
However, in more recent games, this isn’t always the case. One of the most recent titles, Breath of the Wild, has Zelda battling an evil force in a castle for a 100 years, waiting for a hero of legend to wake up from a nap.
What Games Feature a Playable Princess Zelda?
It may surprise you, but Princess Zelda has been playable in more games than just her latest starring role. Granted, her start was rocky, to say the least. These games are featured in chronological order, and on the console they appeared. I’m excluding Spirit Tracks here. This is a list of playable Zelda, not playable Zelda’s Ghost.
1. Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, Phillips CD-i (1993)
Entire history classes can be taught about Nintendo dipping its toes in CD rom games. After a series of foibles and business backstabbing, it led to Sony entering the console market. In the middle of this struggle, Nintendo licensed its Mario and Zelda franchise to Philips to make games for its CD-i gaming console. What followed was one of the most atrocious games of all time. Imagine all the gameplay of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on the NES, but worse. There’s a reason Nintendo is so defensive with its IP. It’s afraid it will lead to more travesties like this. Still, it gave us plenty of timeless memes, so it wasn’t a complete loss.
2. Zelda’s Adventure, Phillips CD-i (1996)
Zelda’s Adventure is another Phillips CD-i title, and marginally better than The Wand of Gamelon. On paper, Zelda’s Adventure is a top down action RPG, like Link’s Awakening or A Link to the Past. In execution, like its predecessor, it’s a clunky, buggy, unplayable mess. Its one saving grace, like Gamelon, are the memes and reaction images it birthed.
3. Super Smash Bros. Series, Various Nintendo Platforms, (From 2001)
This is perhaps the first time Princess Zelda was playable in a game that doesn’t stings your eyes or makes you want to become a luddite. Zelda has been playable in the Super Smash Bros. fighting game series since its second entry, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Here, not only does she wield powerful magical abilities, but can transform into her alter ego Sheik. This makes her quicker, and perhaps more devastating. Eventually, these two characters became wholly separate entities in Smash Bros.
4. Hyrule Warriors, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and Switch (From 2014)
Despite its flashy Zelda coating, this is actually another entry in the Dynasty Warriors series. Princess Zelda, and just about every main, supporting, and tertiary Zelda character is playable here. They even gave Tingle a spot! Zelda’s arsenal is fairly diverse here. Not only does she utilize many of the magic spells she’s known for, but also wields a rapier and a bow. Many of her special attacks, in true Dynasty Warriors fashion, are incredibly captivating. Alternatively, she can also trade in her baton for a Wind Waker. This lets her conduct popular songs from the Zelda series that manifest as powerful attacks.
5. Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo Switch (2019)
It took Nintendo more than two decades to finally get over the pain of the Phillips CD-i games. Nintendo finally licensed out its characters again, this time to indie developer Brace Yourself Games. This top-down rhythm game puts a new spin on the classic Zelda formula, which makes for an addictive, toe-tapping adventure. Zelda is playable here, and if you complete the right quests, you unlock her special weapon, the Royal Rapier.
6. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Nintendo Switch (2020)
The earth-shattering success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild meant the game would be milked for all its worth. It eventually got DLC, but it also got its own spinoff with Age of Calamity. In attempts to hold us over while we waited for Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo and Omega Force made another entry in the Hyrule Warriors franchise. This game takes place during the fated war that happens 100 years before the events of Breath of the Wild. Zelda and the gang are all playable here. She’s armed with the Sheikah Slate, which is basically an iPad that has the power to kill.
7. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Nintendo Switch (2024)
This may be the seventh game where Princess Zelda is playable, but in my humble opinion, it’s really the first one that counts. This time, Zelda is the one rescuing Link from Ganon. In lieu of a sword, she’s armed with the Tri Rod, a magical wand that can conjure up everything from monsters to furniture. Despite being a classic top down Zelda, reviewers are already comparing its versatility to Tears of the Kingdom. Not only is this the first (good) game starring Zelda, it’s also the first in the series to be directed by a woman, Tomomi Sano.

So, two days ago marks the first day I've ever posted to a blog anywhere in my life, and I'm thirty years old lol. Been a lurker on this site for a long time, seen the seasons come and go, the trends
okay that's enough waxing poetical. My previous post proved a couple people might read my stuff so I'm gonna find something to talk about. I think today's topic will be... Super Smash Brothers
So story time, growing up I was a microsoft kid. Dad worked at microsoft, our pcs were windows, our consoles were xboxes, you know how it is. This means the only times I ever got to play any nintendo property was over at a friend's place. Back in high school one time I went to a friend's and there was a gamecube there. My friend was playing on the 360 so I was like "can I play the gamecube?" and my friend was like yeah totally bruh or something idk, 2010s shit lol. So I looked through the games and found: Metroid Prime. I thought, that's the character from Smash Brothers! I've always loved playing as her! I knew two things about her. One, she was secretly a woman under the suit, and two, she was from a game called Metroid. So here was my chance to play Metroid Prime.
I am not exaggerating when I say, that single session of Metroid Prime got me thirsting for the entire series, something I would not experience until earlier this year, when I heard Metroid Prime was available to play on the Nintendo Switch. I legit dropped like 300 dollars on a Switch just to play that. And pokemon. I'd never played pokemon, my girlfriend seems to like it. Maybe I should give it a go?
Anyway, now we come to the last couple of days. I finally caved and decided to buy myself super smash brothers ultimate, a game I had always dreamed of owning so I could practice and stand a chance against all my friends! I've been playing it almost nonstop since I bought it, it's such a blast, even did a couple fights with my girlfriend, that was fun!
And I got to thinking. What's the pro scene like?
See, I knew some things about the smash pro scene. I watched like maybe one or two matches, I knew that meme where the sweaty smash bros player goes "four stock, final destination, NO ITEMS!" and I always thought that was just... boring. When I played with my friends it was four player free for all every time, and we'd pick random fun stages and have a blast literally blasting each other into lava or acid or the sky or something. That just sounds a lot more fun to me.
So, if that's more fun to play, why does the pro scene sound so much more boring to someone like me who's only got a passing understanding of it and has never been interested? Whenever my more sweaty friends decided they'd have enough of the party game and went "1v1! Final Destination! No-" you get the picture, I immediately tuned out. I had no chance of winning because I didn't have any of the tools I used to use to get by in the free for all games. Doing unexpected things, spotting and using the right item at the right time, being more effective at platforming when the stage is falling out of the sky or something, and being tactical with who I engaged with and who I should just do that Godzilla meme with. You know the one. Those were skills I had from general gaming, and I could employ them in ways even my non-switch owning ass self could understand clearly and instantly.
So. If I, the casual consumer, was bored and tuned out every time the game inexplicably turned into Street Fighter, and had such a blast with literally anything other than that, then, why is that like the only type of thing they play at pro matches?
Limited stages to the most bare bones and simple ones. No free for all tournaments, but one v ones and team ones instead, absolutely no items save for the smash ball usually, someone correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding that's the type of thing they do at tournaments.
See, I was talking to my friend who's an absolute legend veteran of fighting games, has been to tournaments, has a custom "hit box" I thought he called it, basically this chunky board with buttons and sticks like an old arcade game, coolest shit I've ever seen. I was trying to explain my frustrations and he said something that stuck with me, something along the lines of, any random element introduced into a match immediately ruins it. I was trying to explain that in my hypothetical smash bros tournament the victor wouldn't be decided by a single match but probably five matches in random stages or more so the law of averages applies and whatnot (not sure that's what the law of averages is but ykwim) but, you know, even in random chaos, play enough matches and a clear victor emerges, that's always been the norm with sports. You don't do a single bout of football, you smash into your opponents again and again and again and again for hours to make abundantly clear when one team has absolutely destroyed the other and there can be no question about it.
So, what makes a good sport. Not even esport, what makes a fun and watchable sport. I have a few ideas.
Personalities. You need recognizable names and personalities that the layman can easily get to know in a way that little narratives and rivalries and legends start to form around them. This is something in esports already obviously.
Simplicity and readability. A person just tuning into a football match for the first time in their life should be able to quickly pick up what's going on.
Relatability. The sport should be a high stakes version of a game we all play. Who hasn't played catch, or thrown a football, or kicked a futbol, or swung a tennis racket at least once in their life. You have experience with the sport and you know how it's played because you have played it.
Excitement. A match of a sport should have an ebb and flow, it should change in easily understandable ways, you need to be able to tell easily when one team is winning and the other team is losing, when they're having a comeback, when things are getting exciting because they're changing.
Skill. When watching the sport it should be immediately abundantly clear to all watching who is the single best player in the world.
So putting all this stuff together, let me tell you what I learned from experimenting with the game for the past couple days.
I was on my own mostly so I had to play with bots. I missed the free for alls so I did that, four player ffa, I always liked some of the items so I turned select ones on at low frequency or whatever, they show up less often, and on every match I'd switch to a different stage that looked interesting.
I was pretty rusty so I experimented a bit with the CPU difficulty until I was just about able to hold my own just enough that the outcome wasn't always sure, I would win about 1/4 of the time, which should happen when there's four players.
But then for kicks I swapped to the one v one final destination style, with the simple stages and such. And I discovered something amazing.
Even though there was no one on my team helping me, the cpu player at the exact same difficulty as the FFA game became a complete pushover, I had to go up two difficulty levels just for it to stand a chance. I noticed from observing that the lower difficulty npc was acting in some very odd ways. Doing things players never ever do. Sometimes they'd walk slowly unshielded. Sometimes they'd just stand still, any player of smash bros knows the name of the game is keep moving at all times, depending on the character you might try to never touch the ground. And I'm sure 90% of players don't know it's even possible to walk slowly. The npc had a handicap on that made it behave in a way that was SO much easier than any real player.
So... why was the FFA harder at the same npc difficulty?
I thought about it and see, computers have an ability that humans will never be able to replicate. The ability to think instantly. They can absorb almost any amount of basic information and follow algoritms on it in a heartbeat. Essentially what this means is that an NPC player is omnipresent. It knows and processes every single bit of input, event, any change that happens to the stage even though they're on the opposite side of the map, instantly frame by frame, and this ability is SO powerful that they had to add a ridiculous handicap that made the computer players do shit real players never ever do.
And then I thought. What if a human could do that?
Imagine if you will, a huge stage, four players duking it out in FFA, items raining on them, the stage changing dramatically, sometimes even purposefully by players, the stage being selected at random every subsequent match until a clear winner from the four is declared.
But the people playing are the greatest Smash Brothers Ultimate players in the entire world.
Wouldn't you pay to see that? I would absolutely pay to see that.
See, what happens when you introduce "random elements" is that the pro player has to have a response ready in reflex time for every single possible event that could change the board state. They'd have to learn the intricacies and mechanics of every single stage in the game. They'd have to familiarize themselves with every item and be able to pick out which it is when there's a mosh pit of four players scrambling on top of it with a bunch of flashing effects and kicks. There might be item metas, which are unique to every stage, there might be special tactics about when to engage and when to stay out of a bout because it benefits that lone player in the mosh pit.
The thing about a 3v3 co op match is that there are only two possible outcomes. One team wins, or the other team wins. So yeah, it's excitingg when they're getting close to winning. You probably have one team you like that you'd rather won the match and so when it gets close to that happening or not happening you get excited.
Well, imagine if every match actually had 4 possible endings. Four personalities, four titans of Smash, who know every single stage by heart, who have items they prefer over others, who are known for being good at Corneria but not at... idk that metroid one that's constantly spinning and there's lava under it and everyone hates that map but unexplicably Sonicfox is unstoppable there. And as stocks start to dwindle, these unbeatable and instantly recognizable titans start to get picked off one by one by one.
See that's what I learned. I played free for all games with like 6 npc players and me, it was chaos, things were happening everywhere constantly all over the screen. And when I got knocked out early I stuck around to watch and see how it turns out. Maybe I'd get knocked out SUPER early and there's still like four players on the board.
Now imagine that situation at a event. One person is knocked out. And then another. And then another. It's down to three of them now and while your favorite player is out already two of them you also love but one you despise with pure rage. And the two you like are fighting each other instead of the one you hate, and they're about to both get knocked out! Then it's just down to the one you hate and the one you love, after that arduous chaos, that gauntlet of insanity it's just down to one player against the other.
And then the guy you hate wins.
But don't worry, there's ten more rematches to go, and maybe they'll get corneria! Your favorite Ducunt player might still have a chance.
This is what I'm saying. Super Smash Brothers is severly slept on, it has SO much potential. The developers crafted a game with an incredible cavalcade of mechanics and the esports only interact with like maybe 20% of them. And if you walk from the smash game to the guilty gear or tekken or street fighter booths or even other arena fighters and what have you, you're in for just about the same thing. A couple of guys or more hitting each other like it's a boxing match.
Which is exciting! Obviously! Boxing matches are fucking exciting as hell! But if you want a boxing match you could go to the boxing match booth, or you could go to the six player free for all extravaganza that reminds you of that tv show with all the squids.
I think about this kind of thing often. Games like Chivalry pit armies of 32 players against each other in huge objective based modes. It's a hell of a lot of fun to play, but what if every single player there was a master at their craft? What if that huge 32 player team was like an entire army of personalities who've mastered the art of cooperation on the field of battle, professional warriors at their peak cooperating like an entire football team, with demarcated leadership, with a single general or whatever, professional comm chatter. It would be like a world record Wow guild doing a thingy thing but it's PVP and the entire world is watching.
I would pay to watch that. Wouldn't you?
