The Brawl to End It All: Wii Link Round-Up

As another school semester comes to a close, I get faklempt when I think that some of the most enjoyable classes that I've taken will be finished, and that I won't see some of the classmates anymore afterward. There is one person though that I will be glad that I'm rid of. Mr. Justin Pilcher, blogger behind Breaking Back, had done the unthinkable and challenged me to a game of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The audacity! The nerve. Oh, it's on like Donkey Kong.

On And I'll Form the Head, he commented on my R.O.B. "I will pown you with toon link any day." I replied, in righteous, furious anger, "I will drag my pikmin across toon link's face as Captain Olimar." This little squabble ended there, but I don't like to be instigated. I got a short fuse. I'm a mushroom cloud laying mother fucker, mother fucker.

Now, I think we can settle this like gentlemen; in class, set up a Wii on the projection screen and let the video game fists fly. Not only will we see who the best Brawler is, but I'll also fulfill a dream of mine to play video games in a classroom. Come on, teach! I'll even play a round with you. I'll take on anybody, any day. I know I am the greatest.

So, to better publicize the event, here is some information on the game and the two characters which we'll each be using, besides the information posted above.

If you think that Super Smash Bros. didn't have a fanatic following, head here for a whole write up of each game in the franchise and a forum of like-minded Brawlers.

Toon Link, a deviation of the original Link notable by his younger and cartoony appearance, has appeared in three The Legend of Zelda games to date, omitting Super Smash Bros. Brawl; The Wind Waker, released on Gamecube, and Phantom Hourglass and the recently released Spirit Tracks, both appearing on the Gameboy Ds

Captain Olimar is the protagonist of Pikmin and its sequel, commanding a legion of plant-like creatures to scour the earth for treasure. Both were released on the Gamecube, with Super Smash Bros. Brawl being his first appearance on the Wii console until Nintendo ported the original game to use the Wii controller.

Keep checking in. Things are gonna get intense up in here.
