71. The Kiss Bet: Season 3 I’m going by ‘seasons’ now that we finished the printed volumes and are now reading the story right off Webtoon. That means this is a larger number of episodes. I was beginning to fear we were drawing this out for too slow a burn, but to be fair things ARE happening.

70. World War Hulk Another event comic that I knew well from cultural osmosis, but never read front-to-back before. This is a fun bash ‘em up with basically Hulk versus everyone. It’s fun, but a bit of a letdown in a few regards…

69. Hollow Knight: Silksong I’m absolutely floored by the quality of this game. Some fans aren’t ready to place it above the lofty heights of the original Hollow Knight, and while I love the first game, my experience with Silksong felt truly special. It was slow going and painful but so worth it!

I have a confession to make… I never actually played the Crimson Flower Route of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I always meant to, but I saved it for last, took a break from FE3H, and never got back to it. So yeah, I’m a fake Fire Emblem fan.

68. The Kiss Bet: Volume 4 Oh no! This is the last physical book we have so far!!! Luckily we’re not caught up yet. There’s like two more seasons up on Webtoon, so I guess I’ll post the next pieces in Season chunks. Same thoughts as before, series is very sweet and wholesome.

I can’t remember if we’ve ever talked about Sunday in the Park with George before. Have you seen it? I know you like some other Sondheim stuff. This post reminded me of some of the musings that show has about art critics.

67. The Kiss Bet: Volume 3 Still going! Volume 3 begins with a set of major status quo shifts, where Sara has BOTH of her biggest crushes actively pursuing her but, gosh darn it, she just can’t decide who she likes more! All this, only to receive a rude reminder of more pressing life concerns.

66. The Kiss Bet: Volume 2 Ali and I continued our excursion through this adorable coming-of-age/young romance comic. It’s cute. It’s really cute. Things are starting to heighten now with *gasp* School Festival coming up. The crisscrossing crushes are in full bloom now.

65. Freedom Planet 2 Played the first one years ago in an LP. I was excited to hear they were making a sequel but it flew under my radar until now. That’s a shame, because this is probably my favorite “Sonic-like” I’ve ever played. And it looks great, upgrading to a 32-bit style from lat game’s 16.

64. The Kiss Bet: Volume 1 Speaking of cute, Ali and I started reading her favorite webcomic together. This is a trade of the first 8 chapters. It’s a dorky high school romance with dumb kids having dumb emotions, drawn in a way that makes it really endearing.

63. The Skeleton Dance We had a movie day with the Grammy yesterday and decided, after two tearjerker Disney films, to chase it with an old dorky short. This short is iconic, though I don’t think I ever watched it front-to-back with the sound on before.

I’m a bit conflicted right now on how to spend my limited free time. I’m halfway through Silksong and loving it; but with Fortune’s Weave out I feel like I need to play that to be a part of the conversation of one of my favorite series. But if I take a break from Silksong I’m gonna get bad at it…

62. Puppet History: Season 7 Watcher may have imploded in popularity, and I’m disappointed that most of their stuff now is the ghosts and conspiracy topics I don’t care for, but Puppet History is still my jam. We got some good stories here; I especially liked the Straw Hat Riots coverage.

61. Planet Hulk A trade collection of one of the best Hulk story arcs. Hulk’s stranded on a strange planet with its own deep history and culture for what amounts to a pretty grand war story. A lot of elements were adapted into Thor Ragnarok, but the original is much, MUCH grittier.

60. Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to Be a Magical Girl (Pilot) I *think* this is a pilot… apparently this has existed for a while in some form on Tumblr and just had its big launch on YouTube. Whatevs, I’m treating it like a Pilot and those I usually put on the media thread so here we go…

59. TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD A mid-budget PS2-era platformer I never tried. Truth be told, I first got interested in this game from the fan outcry when we didn’t put Ty on our Top Ten Boomerang Wielders list. I had it in a Steamcember and now I finally played it on my Steam Deck.

58. King of the Hill: Season 15 The second season of the KotH revival, and things are still going pretty well. Scenes can be a little awkward sometimes, which is sort of part of KotH, sometimes not all the jokes land, but I’m so invested in these characters and it’s always great checking in.

57. Pseudoregalia Another Steamcember game I got back to. This is an indie 3D platformer, very short but with amazing vibes and even better movement. The graphics harken back to the N64/PS1 era, with blocky models, limited frames and misty draw distance adding to the dreamlike mood.

23. Ant-Man (Scott Lang) I think it’s time for one of the most important mantles of the Avengers to get a character slot. Injustice 2 managed to make a shrinking character work with the Atom. I think combining that with ant swarms as traps, some Giant-Man big hits, and other PymTech would be great.

22. Sunspot (Roberto de Costa) See now I’m thinking more about fighting styles to represent. Sunspot could work similar to Human Torch, but I think the better move is to focus on his capoeira training with a lot of smooth low-hits and combos out of crouching stance. Also maybe charge inputs.

21. Jessica Jones I want her as sort of a play on Mike Haggar, smaller but just as strong, pulling out furniture and hunks of trash to break over people’s heads. Maybe also some drunken fighter mechanics? Especially I want to hear her exasperated call-outs to her teammates mid battle.

20. The Hood (Parker Robbins) This guy was recently put into Rivals and I see why. He’s a villain that’s less evil and more just selfish, with cool powers. He could use his invisible cloak to escape pins, his boots for cool aerials, and his magic guns for curving projectiles. Maybe demons too.

19. Invisible Woman (Sue Storm) None of the FF were ever in MvC, but Sue wasn’t even really in Super Skrull’s moveset! Invisible Woman would be a rare smaller tank of a character, with a lot of forcefields and maybe projectile reflection. Her assists could also be extremely fun.

18. Dani Moonstar A mutant with the power to manifest people’s greatest fears OR deepest desires. Plus she’s great with a bow and arrow AND became a Valkyrie, so there’s a ton to work with here. I’m picturing a FEAR status that slows down blocking. If she can summon her own fear, the Demon Bear!

I just noticed the box art for Mario Kart World has Goomba on it twice. I mean that’s not necessarily an error; there’s multiple Goombas in the world and online people can choose the same character… but that’s weird, right?

17. Slingshot (Yo-Yo Rodriguez) My most obscure inclusion so far, Slingshot is a SHIELD agent with super speed, the catch being that after using her speed, she snaps back to the place she started, like a yo-yo. Having an insanely fast character with this gimmick could make for great mind games.

16. Agent Venom (Flash Thompson) We already have Carnage. So if we get Venom, I want him to feel different. A Special Forces Agent with a Symbiote would definitely fit the bill. Guns for range, goop for melee!

15. Human Torch (Johnny Storm) I’m surprised this guy never got a good fighting game build, as far as I know. He could be kinda like M. Bison but on fire, torpedoing around. Maybe light projectile game but he’s usually more of a speedy missile character.

14. Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd) I’m picturing him sliding around casually using the Power Cosmic for crazy effects and blocking things with little effort. The board can be a projectile that lingers on the field when he kicks it forward, and has a wide spin if he can get back to it.

13. Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) Being different again for the sake of it. But who doesn’t love crazy trick arrows… then again, Clint was more the trick arrow guy, and I don’t know if Kate ever really adopted that. But I think she did? Whatever, give her all the crazy arrows Clint had in UMvC3! And Lucky!

12. Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur I’m picturing Devil being the one taking hits while Luna rides on his back giving support. You know, firecrackers, shields, extending boxing gloves, all as little distractions to land those big Dino chomps.

10. All-Father Thor They’re already strongly hinting about Thor so I wouldn’t be surprised if Odinson was in the DLC. But in the spirit of specificity, let’s make him the version where he’s ascended and can utilize the Odinforce. This can leave the usual thunder and hammer stuff for…

9. Doctor Voodoo (Jericho Drum) A curveball play on Doctor Strange. Jericho has also been Sorcerer Supreme so you can give him the Eye of Agamotto and the Cape of Levitation. But he’d be based on summoning ghosts, including his brother’s ghost who always protects him.

8. Viv Vision Original Vision would already be cool, with his forehead laser, phasing and ability to become immovably dense. Viv feels more like the TOKON curveball, with all the same abilities as a cute robot girl. I think she and Danger would have a lot to talk about.

7. Man-Thing (Ted Sallis) Similar to Groot with the plant-like physiology, but Man-Thing is much softer and squelchier. I’m picturing a big slow guy but with a startling teleport to slip into the ground and rise somewhere else. You also get that empathetic touch that burns characters based on fear.

6. Medusa (Medusalith Amaquelin) TOKON’s not afraid of obscure picks, so let’s dip into the Inhumans with their Queen! Once again, tendrils always make for a good character. You could get real crazy with how she moves, maybe she walks and punches all with her hair. I imagine she’s a grappler.

5. Squirrel-Girl (Doreen Green) I mean, acrobatic zoner that still has a decent amount of close-up options. I could also see her Ult using Galactus or one of the other cosmic entities she’s befriended. This version of her will have to be nerfed so she’s beatable.

4. Groot Get Star-Lord a fellow Guardian here. Characters who can change their shape give you a lot to work with. He can be a mighty glacier, a zoner with stretchy limbs, a trap setter with routes, or some kinda hybrid. Easy stuff. You could combine him with Rocket too if you want.

3. Rogue (Anna Marie) You got the regular flying brick moveset, but she can also be fun with her touch letting her sap energy from people. Maybe you could even work in a Kirby-like copy system. Each opponent gives her a new move, or maybe just buffs some kinda stat if that’s too much work.

2. Gambit (Remy LeBeau) Exploding cards, kinetic-empowered staff, maybe have him charge up people’s clothes or charge the ground for launchers. Lots of fun stuff here. You could even dip into the Horseman of Apocalypse version of him if you want.

1. Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) My favorite X-Men character, maybe my favorite Marvel character, and I ALWAYS wanted him in a decent fighting game. Surprised he was never in MvC! He teleports and hard swords! Plus you can do dorky stuff like having him teleport in objects and brimstone demons.

56. Yakuza Kiwami Had a good time, but this was a little different than I expected. Being both a remake of the first game and a follow-up to Yakuza 0 is interesting. I’m not surprised how much it looks and plays like Y0, I was surprised this game felt so much smaller than 0 though.

That’s a tough one. If we’re sticking with Peter Parker, I’m thinking maybe the version of him from the beginning of Into the Spiderverse. He really just looks like the perfect Spidey here. Vibrant, confident, expressive, funny, iconic.

Iron Man’s a character I like much more in the MCU than most comics, look wise. So sticking to MCU, and I want an armor that hits a good balance between slick and still kinda robotic. I think the best is the MK VI from the end of Iron Man 2. The triangular chest light clinches it.

Gotta go with his Star Fox Assault design. 64 is fine, but I think Adventures Slippy has more personality, and Assault refined it before Command stepped in with its ugly geometric style. I think this design communicates that he’s a smart, positive guy with serious little-brother energy.
