Banned! Part 1: Ballers Are Gonna Ball

March 12, 2008

Yep folks, it’s that time again. We’ve all been dreading it like a flu shot, but we gotta man up and take it dirty. Real dirty. Like a fat prostitute with a third eye made of bar peanuts dirty.

So starts our series on what’s gonna be banned from professional tournaments. Your friends at the Shining Fists Blog will take a different stage, item, character, whatever, and explain why you’ll never see Ken within a hundred miles of it. Hey, it’s a tough job, but we’re tough guys. Just look at my biceps. These guns can punch threw cows. Steel Cows. With chainsaw hooves.

We got lost a couple of times on the way, and we even though about turning around and going home, but we finally got there.

Going where no other Olimar has gone before, a FS story

January 17, 2008

It’s funny how Sakurai seems to always want to get the information out first. In cases of information leaking to the public, Sakurai will seem to rush it to the dojo. Sheik is a good example of this among other things. And so is this update Olimar’s final smash, End of Day.
