Artist's commentary
Demoted Smash Bro
I'm a Smash trash now
Never did smash before, I knew it existed I knew it was a big deal but never cared cuz never played.
Iiiiiiiiin result I was pretty ignorant to many characters (except for the obvious ones like It's a me Maaario) which resulted some awkward situations like genuinely thinking Sheik was a dude but maybe will go more on detail later how that even happened in this age once I draw heeeeeer ahaha
With my newly found love for Smash Bros Ultimate and enjoying being a noob slowly learning and trying to not be a pushover in online fights I'm really inspired to make some art about it! But what better way to get stated with the franchise I do doodle the most here?
So I made a lot of research about Smash history to get me up to date and found funny how there was a Pokemon Trainer commanding this trio of nostalgia baits and then only Charizard remains in the previous entry but now got demoted as part of the party again.
I dunno how the fandom reacted to that given how Charizard is, I have no shame to called it overrated, but I liked to see that happening again and had some blast playing as Ivysaur the. whole. time ahahaha
I like Ivysaur, it's cuter than Bulbasaur but then had to blow it by becoming Venusaur ugh
This demotion only happened cuz 3DS limited abilities for transformations and shifts like these I guess and since SWITCH is a more powerful console, they could not just bring that back but also add all fighters from the past and still bring new ones? Hardcore!
I still can't tell the difference between Fire Emblem and Xenoblade
