Smash or Dash: Shovel Knight vs. Shantae & Scorpion vs. Nightmare
It’s a third-party smorgasbord! Two giants of their respective realms – indie platformers and brutal brawlers – do battle to see who will be “Smashed” or “Dashed” in this ongoing Super Cast Bros. series.
Weekly Roundup: April 13 – 19, 2020 (or, “The Good in the Bad”)
Like so many others, I was swept up in blind, desperate optimism while blurring out the facts. COVID-19 is here, and its influence is vast. Take your pick of the likes of past pandemics and epidemics, and MERS, SARS, Ebola, and more are still deadlier than COVID-19, but deadliness should have never been the only quantifying factor in any of our minds. The key behind why we’re all cooped up in our homes at the time being seems more to be with the efficacy of transference than anything.

Smash or Dash: Black Shadow vs. Alph & Serperior vs. Decidueye vs. Rillaboom (Episode 15)

Weekly Roundup: March 2 – 9, 2020 (or, “Expanding Roles”)
Here we are, folks! Without further ado, we’re coming in hot with another “weekly” roundup. This one is only 8 weeks behind, which means that somewhere along the way, progress is being made (considering that the last before our January roundup was in November). Should I start making these into a more manageable monthly roundup format? Probably. For now, though, let’s stubbornly grip onto this weekly dream and maybe it’ll come true.
Smashtopia: Assist Trophy Extravaganza (Episode 14)
It’s an assist trophy extravaganza! In this Smashtopia, Jonathan Frahm (Jonno) and Lister Potter III (Zantok) set their sights on a grand roundup of assist trophy ideas ranging from Bub & Bob to Drago from Ring Fit Adventure and beyond.
On Topic: Fighter Pass 2 (Part 2) [Episode 13]
