Comic: Super Smash Ponies (Update Side Story!)

Source
This comic has a really interesting visual style. It's not FiM accurate in the slightest and it's very unapologetic about that, but with the simplified faces, the stretchy, shiny bodies, and the black and white aesthetic, it looks a heck of a lot like a pony version of Steamboat Willie. Very, very awesome, and very very cute.

Oh, and I guess somewhere hidden in some corner there might be a Super Smash Brothers reference or two. I dunno, I couldn't find any. Can you? (There's getting to be a ton of stuff here, so how about we add a page break as well?)

I couldn't find any either.

DVega said...

smash bros. with ponies? It has to happen.

Xiagu said...

This is maybe the best thing.

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

Awesome.

Off topic, I'm now going to call Phoe, Phoe Hammer. Why? I don't know. Nor do I care. Enjoy your new nickname.

Understatedly Hyperbolic said...

Ledge hanging... so freakin' cheap... (although...how the eff does that affect Rainbow at all?)

AbyssTheDragon said...

Now I feel like doing texture mods for Smash Bros. Brawl to play as ponies............. Oh god playing as Celestia

Roman500 said...

I like Final Destination...

Laurence Brown said...

Pinkie! Stop pausing the match, so we can see the end of it!

Also, you can't spell wingboner without win.

CogWeaver said...

Gosh dang it Pinkie! We wanted to see Twi go Rapidash on AJ and Rarity! Now is NOT the time to go breakin the 4th wall!

Raigar said...

Of course, Pinkie Pie would want to play that game. Unfortunately for her my vote would be for Spike's choice.

Citizen SLI said...

Pinkie paused the game. Making me wait. Why!!?

mycutiemarkisagun said...

Final Destination? Someone smack Pinkie Pie, plz.

ShadowCell said...

it reminds me of Kate Beaton, to be honest

which is, y'know, incredibly hyper omega shin giga awesome

Erroneous said...

This is the greatest comic I've seen on this site to date.

Starwind Dood said...

Awesome. Now give me more BlazBrony

Atiarotias said...

haha, dat Wingboner comeback

colt classic said...

i read this while i was watching/listening to My Little 1up, and it kinda fit together somehow.

ToonNinja said...

Only one life, and no items? My greatest memories of Smash Bros. was all the random sh*t that me and my friends witnessed on the screen. One of the best involved an explosive party ball, a fan, Mr. Saturn, and a whooole lotta counters.

Duskfly said...

Nuuuu! Pinkie Pie, why must you mess up the match! D:

unpause UNPAUSE, dammit.

Namefag Anon said...

NO ITEMS

FOX ONLY

FINAL DESTINATION

AND YOU BEST NOT BRING A WIIMOTE, SON

Wolfe KuPo said...

Ponies only, no items, Final Destination!

Logus said...

Real men use items.

Brian Johnson said...

Possible final smashes
RD: Sonic Rainboom, like Zelda/Sheik's Light Arrow
AJ: Lasso Entrapment, like Link's Tri-Force
FS: Love Me!, Wario-man/Giga Bowser
PP: Freeze, Meta-knight's Shadow Cloak
TS: Magic Surge, ROB's Diffusion Beam
Ry: Mannequin Army, Dedede's Army but better

Carly said...

dude i love this! <3

GabuEx said...

This is such a ridiculously absurd premise with equally absurd art that it WORKS SO WELL!

I love it! :D

dw1482 said...

That was ridonculous.
The Final destination no items discussion is one me and my friends have had many times before. Real men play with all items on random stages!
Or on final destination with only pokeballs.

thatonepony said...

lol wut. Best combo ever.

NDupree93 said...

Fun little comic so far, though I've never played Smash Bros. so I'm sure there's tons of jokes I'm not getting as a result.

Kenzamaka said...

"A true lady fights with more elegance."

"HHHNNNRRRGGH!"

Possibly the best anything to ever happen anywhere.

Raynor said...

RD! you had a second recover you know >_>

Tony said...

And this is why we don't play with ANY items whatsoever. Well, from my point of brawl of course.

cheesa said...

Wait, Twilight just used an infinite cape glitch.

GONNA MAKE A BIG PREDICTION.

TWILIGHT GETS BANNED FOR USING ILLEGAL MOVE.

If anyone is wondering, the infinite cape glitch is a tech where metaknight does a downspecial and pressed upsmash repeatedly to stay invisible.

It is illegal in the tournament scene, so Twilight's gonna get banned. :P

cheesa said...

Either that or Twilight is going to get disqualified for stalling, another rule that can get you kicked out of a tourney.

Raynor said...

lol i didn't even notice the smash ball there XD

youtube|UsurperKingZant said...

Lol edgehogging. It's such a good move in Melee. When you're doing a ledge animation, you're still on the ledge. Brings more strategy to the edgeguard/recover game

In Brawl it's kind of useless: If you roll onto the stage to gain invincibility, your opponent can grab it as soon as you do anything. Even if you roll late, they might still be able to grab it their magnetic reach and slow falling speed. You can't just wait on the ledge during an opponent's upb because you'll get hit. Edgeguard/recovery game is so limited in Brawl

DSNesmith said...

Ahahaha, this is fantastic. I cracked up at Final Destination.

marioandsonic said...

NO ITEMS

RAINBOW DASH ONLY

FINAL DESTINATION

those expressions are so great

so great

Sandoval said...

Lol final destination

Drakengarde said...

...Great, this makes me want to hook the Wii back up and play some online Brawl.

pmcollectorboy said...

Bazookas? Lasers? Pokemon? Nah. Nothing kicks flank like the paper fan.

bronydash said...

Thought it was funny, but I'm so sick of the whole wingboner joke. Not even that funny...

Speckgeschoss said...

Even edgehogging is better with ponies

NinesTempest said...

... Even being a competitive Smasher, AJ's smug face was pretty mean.

Also META KNIGHT CAPE INVISIBILITY IS BANNED HURR.

NinesTempest said...

@youtube|UsurperKingZant
Actually, you can hog if you have over 100 damage, but it's a very small timeframe; it's better to just reset the invincible frames with a jump.

Xort said...

@bronydash

Some people obviously disagree.

Michael said...

I was once at a convention where, in the game room, there was some Super Smash Bros. Brawl on one of the TVs that was free for anyone who was interested to play. After observing some matches, me an a new-found acquaintance of mine deduced that the people we were to play with next were "tourney tards" - guys who'd go right to Final Destination without a second thought, for every single match.

Y'know what we did when it was our turn? PRESSED START ON THEM MUTHASUCKAS! The stage went to "Random", and even though it was the DK Jungle Beat-themed level, i was worth it to hear those dumb fantards immediately whine about it. :D

Wierdplatformer said...

Super smash bros. and ponies???

DAY MADE!

We need to have a group for this game.

Bobbyzero said...

Fluttershy: Dat comb-over.

ladymoondancer said...

Wow, I love the artist's style. The facial expressions on the ponies are amazing! I particularly like the sequence where Rarity takes on AJ.

Also, Fluttershy. D'awww!

Octavia said...

I'm not a Super Smash Brothers fan, so I'm sure there's a lot of things in these comics I'm missing. But still, they are pretty cute and funny. :D And of course Pinkie is twisting reality and breaking walls as always. lol

Theta the Sheep said...

Haha! I love this comic. The final destination bit made me laugh...

WhiteDiamonds said...

Goddess, these are all fantastic. XD The artistic style is simplistic yet delightfully expressive, and all of the dialogue/characterizations are hilarious. I can hardly wait to see more!

Sotha said...

Oh my gosh. This is great. It's just like Pinkie to pause the game. So cheap breaking the . . . oh whatever. Just let her have her fun.

I could have seen them go on Big Blue, and one of the cars is AJ's truck, with the cardboard cutout of Twi in the back.

Sdash said...

I hate AJ now for edge hoggin Dash....

Wait... she never used her upper attack... Blah....

This comic is full of win.

And Pinkie stopping the game for w/e reason is making me want to play fighting is magic by mane6 EVEN more. D=

Firleycat said...

Pinkie picked FINAL DESTINATION, Someone please take that out of rotation. I hate that level so much.

Twilight is a very clever pony, hiding till the smash ball turns up. But I was kind of hoping that it would show up and Rarity and Applejack would keep pulling themselves away from it until Twilight just pops in. Bit more exciting that way but still good.

Fly Amanita said...

Twilight with those stalling tactics. I approve.

PinkiePieInsane said...

>implying using an advantage is cheating

There are no rules. do what you want.

Foxmane said...

Come on, Fluttershy. If Jigglypuff can manage to be top tier in Melee, you can at least TRY.

As a competitive Smasher myself (mostly Brawl Minus these days), I was very pleased to read this comic. Silly Rainbow should have Planked...

SoulSilver IV said...

But... I like Final Destination... :<

Hiashi said...

@Understatedly Hyperbolic

Since Applejack was hanging off the edge, Rainbow couldn't grab on to it to recover. It's a move called "edgeguarding."

PhysicallyPossible said...

Great now pinkie broke the time and space wall also

Bastoff said...

Hasbro + Nintendo = Best Game Ever

It. Needs. To. Happen.

Armando said...

@Hiashi

I think what he's getting at is that Rainow Dash wasn't seen using an Up-B move, and odds are she'd have 6 jumps and a glide like Pit, or at least 3 like Charizard.

Kill me, I'm a PONY said...

The artist could probably just excuse Dash's lack of ^+B by saying that she had to use it to break the rope around her. Which would make AJ OP vs. Pegasi unless the rope disappears within a few seconds (likely the case)

Profesor Rod said...

GUYS, STOP HAVING FUN! D:<

Gadvac said...

If I haven't been beat to it already...
NO ITEMS
DASH ONLY
FINAL DESTINATION

Oh, that pause. Gotta hate it. Pinkie would totally do it, though.

Gadvac said...

@Fly Amanita
Totally in-character, too.

Gadvac said...

@pmcollectorboy
No kidding- get your opponent into a corner and they're doomed.

That's how I got Lucas, anyway. (Or was it Ness? I can't remember.)

Gadvac said...

@marioandsonic
Well, would ya look at that. Someone DID beat me to it.

Gadvac said...

@cheesa
Unless it's an actual move of hers.

I could see her knowing about that kind of thing though- and Pinkie Pie as well, which is bad news for Twilight if it was glitch abuse.

Misterz100 said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANTED TO SEE TWILIGHT END THEM!

BND said...

These are awesome.

Stargazer said...

oh god, Pinkie has the smash ball... the end is neigh!

KaijinZero said...

....EVERYPONY FOR THEMSELVES! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

Cokegamer said...

Pinkie has the smash ball....
Well it was fun living but now all of us are gonna die.

Pete Dash said...

and RD is the first one OUT? really? not even gonna watch the other pages , too disappoint.

its now proven that you can take an amazing idea , and turn it to crap

Vermillion Twilight said...

@Cokegamer

Pinkie "Die-in-PAIN" Pie is no match for Ultimate FlutterRAGE!!!

Oh wait, is she already out of the match..? Then I'm expecting this to end with Trollestia falling out of the sky and raping everyone.

PhysicallyPossible said...

*sob* punches rarity in the face
xD thats awesome

MetalGearSamus said...

WOMBO COMBO!!!!!

Pony In Chief said...

I found the reference.
It wasn't terribly obscure, however.

Armando said...

@Pete Dash Why so serious? Besides, it's true to the show. Rainbow Dash always rushes in without thinking and gets her ass kicked. Being awesome doesn't stop you from being reckless.

Karzahnii said...

@Pete Dash

Ah, that's too bad. I knew some people would be turned down because RD didn't get to kick ass.

The real reason is because, well, leaving the rest of the fight to RD and Applejack (the athletes) is what most people would come to expect, and to me it wasn't nearly as interesting. I thought it would be ironic to have RD knocked out first.

North Quill said...

I thought that was "Watch out for opening doors".

cheesa said...

This is not how competitive smash is played at all.

Camper? Really?

The author did a good job with the drawing, but the concept is rather weak and scrubbish. At best, the author is a local scrub.

It comes with no surprise that all people know about the Smash scene is no-items-fox-only-FD, edgehogging, and "camping is cheap." I shouldn't have expected more from a community of ponies. >_>

Armando said...

@cheesa Most people don't play fighters competitively, nor should it be expected of them. Competitive play is practically a part-time job, full-time if you aim to win major tourneys. Some people just want to play casually and that's fine. Also, competitive players have a bad rep of harassing casuals as it is, and comments like these don't help.

Besides, the fact that the characters are saying stuff like that doesn't mean that's actually what the artist/author thinks. For all you know Karzahnii is poking fun at newbies who cry foul.

I guess what I'm trying to see is to show some love and tolerance.

showmetheblueprints said...

@cheesa

"I shouldn't have expected more from a community of ponies."

Says the guy who is crying because he feels that competitive Super Smash Bros. is misrepresented.

PopeHatSkeleton said...

*Pinkie Pie has grabbed the smash ball*
Mother of god.

Michael said...

@cheesa

"This is not how competitive smash is played at all."

I know exactly what you mean! What are PONIES doing in my comic of a Smash game? The author doesn't even know the character roster! What a scrub! I came here to see a very accurate representation of Fox wavedashing at Falco, not a genuinely interesting comic!

Geeeeez...

"At best, the author is a local scrub."

Clearly, his priorities aren't straight. Everyone should devote their time to becoming a pro at Smash. If not, how will they possibly be able to draw good comics? The two go hand-in-hand!

"I shouldn't have expected more from a community of ponies."

Most of us are human. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. -.-

Karzahnii said...

@cheesa

I totally agree. I'm no comp Brawler, I wouldn't know enough to make a comic that really nails the details of competitive Brawling. To someone who does, the comic would seem incredibly inaccurate and lame.

But on the other hand, as long as it's understood that (most of) the ponies are playing to win instead of for fun, it's the same story.

Whitbane said...

Pinkie's Super Attack.

"Cupcakes".

Oh God...

@Whitbane

You beat me to it. Dammit. :(

Cátsy said...

And the winner is FLUTTERSHY!

Matt Dusza said...

I cant think of many groups of gamers I hate more than Competitive Smash Players. So... Fucking... Annoying... Also, Rude, Ignorant, sumg, and just douchebags. I think @Cheesa just kinda proved that too.

If you want to play competitive fighters, pick up Street Fighter 3 or 4, or BlazBlue, or even the new mortal kombat. People who say X is cheap and Y is breaking a rule, and Z is unfair for their own honor rules or whatever built around an existing game are just trying too hard to make a decent game more than it really is. Its just sad...

And this is coming from someone who has been in (and won) multiple Guitar Hero and Rock Band, in which there's an incredibly over-rated elitest POS players who bitch on the legitamacy over leaderboard rankings over exploiting glitches, starpower BMPs, and modded controllers. And even with all that, Smash is still the worst.

This comic is great. Its a fun concept and picking apart whats awful about the smash bros community. I loved melee, and even though I own brawl, i never played it for more than probably 3 hours. It just wasnt GOOD... Also this style kicks ass.

Armando said...

@Matt Dusza Melee is just as competitive as any of those fighters you mentioned. Brawl though, that's another story...

Also, the people that bitch about X or Y being unfair aren't competitive players by definition.

Melvin Bronykimps said...

Pinkie will surely end this battle...her final smash "pinkie party"

monkeyboyinc said...

If the speech bubbles were removed, This would be an amazing source of reaction faces.

Sotha said...

Oh no. Not the party. Anything but the party!

Skykitsune said...

Oh dear... That was kinda cheap Pinkie, I wanna see Twi's final smash! It's gotta be awesome!

PhysicallyPossible said...

Where they once again learn nothing...xD

Brian Johnson said...

I'm sticking with what I said on the 6th, Pinkie Pie used Freeze, but modified it so everypony got bucked .

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Hey guys! Guess what?

This may actually happen one day. There is a Smash-compatible model of RD being worked on RIGHT NOW.

And I myself will take the pleasure of coding a full moveset for her once the model's finished ^_^

Vanner said...

"And another adventure comes to an end where they learn nothing"

That's actually a fairly accurate statement for the cutie mark crusades, and sadly, my entire life.

Octavia said...

Oh, I love these comics.

Applejack abuse! Poor AJ. lol

FlutterPie said...

Who uses the wii remote, I hate using it in Brawl.

Atiarotias said...

you eventually start hitting the actual players with those lethal remotes..

Flutterguy said...

Lol the CMC once again don't learn anything
