Yeah, when I think about it, I agree with Troll King and Emo Troll being interesting, but I just care so little about this fight between Demaro and Garry that I've actually lost track of why this is happening. I think Silver's about to carry out a plan and Demaro wants to stop him and Garry's trying to keep Demaro from stopping Silver?

Neither of them know anything about Silver's plan. Garry is a Troll, he certainly wouldn't want to help Silver. They're fighting for two reasons: 1. Demaro wants to kill Fudd and eat his brain so he can find out where Wile E. Coyote is. Garry won't let him because the trolls need Fudd to control Robotnik. 2. They're brothers who have hated each other for a long time and this is an excuse to finally try to kill each other.

It still amazes me that they got a successful hip hop artist to write lyrics to a 16-bit video game song.

Also the Sonic 2 ending credits theme wasn't even like one of the 20 best songs from the Genesis Sonics.

:goonsay: incoming: Sweet Sweet Sweet was an actual song by Dreams Come True from their 1992 album The Swinging Star. Their bassist, Masato Nakamura, composed all the music for the first two Sonic games and included the song himself. So it actually didn't start out as a 16 bit song. The Akon version actually samples the album version.

Edit: gently caress it, might as well add some more :goonsay: : The Swinging Star was the biggest selling Japanese language album in the world for years - it would be like Michael Jackson composing the music for the game and using a song from Thriller as the end credits theme.

Which is doubly relevant because he did just that for Sonic 3. (except for the Thriller part - the end credits of Sonic 3 are a sped up version of Stranger in Moscow.)

So long, and thanks for all the fish gallbladdΣrs!


I think this has been a good fight, but it should wrap up in a page or two to avoid becoming not good.I hope LB realises that though this fight was enjoyable, it isn't some sort of magic formula he can roll out every time. The crazy one-liners and out-there moves work here because they're unusual. If it was repeated, it wouldn't work.

Fight scenes are hard.

Not to nitpick here, but couldn't Gary just get Demaro to control Robotnick for the trolls in exchange for Elmer? From what I understand, anyone with that neutral necromancy power could do what Elmer is doing.

Same here, I like Demaro's ambition. He's a great foil for the Troll King without being anything close to an ally for Shadow, Silver or Tails.

I like to think that the Guy With No Ears, Troll King, Demaro et all are just copyrighten characters from another world; and that in this other world it's Bugs Bunny and Cheetoman who are the original characters.

Maybe all the neutral powers are a little different and he's really good at plant control and other poo poo, but bad at necromancy? I dunno, it's probably something that Lazerbot either plans to address or, more likely, just kinda forgot about during planning.

Pretty sure the reason Demaro wrecked Garry's face in the first place is that Garry was trying to get him to work with the trolls.

Yeah Lazy B mentioned that Demaro has entirely different goals then the trolls both in the comments and in the comic.

What I like is that it's not as if his characters are "fancharacters" or the ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL types of the average fanwork. They're just...his characters, and they just happen to be interacting with Shadow the Hedgehog and Elmer Fudd from time to time.

Lazerbot has something to say to you guys complaining about the fight:

Lazerbot posted:

like Tristan Kavanagh said: i say once a day, if someone wants to view the whole fight at once, they can wait a few days once a fight starts to pace themselves: i mean i really am in a confusing in why some of you are crying about this fight? i understand about the waiting and what not but that problem like tristan said ynnou can wait a while or so to look at it, and i actually see nothing wrong with this fight, i think im doing a pretty good job, i mean you guys are getting alittle anoying, you guys are still awesome, just anoying is all im saying, wait a weak or so and you won't be getting enpatient and you will have lots to see, i mean a page per day is pretty good if you ask me but some of you are way far from kermit its crazy, chill your pills and good day

Did you guys notice how the laser shield is drawn in a slightly different style than the regular line art? The art that's used for the characters has this slightly fraying pixely quality, while the art for the laser shield is quite smooth and digital-looking. It makes it look a lot more energy-like.

I feel like I should speak up and say that I love the fight scenes just as much as every other part of the comic. Lazerbot seems to be able to insert anime or comic book fight-scene clichés in such a way that they come off as unexpected and really creative. It admittedly is a little more absurdly gripping when an established character like Porky Pig or Mario is involved, but the original characters add a lot of ambiance to the story. It's all a rich tapestry, guys.

The only thing that I don't love about this fight is that I've been DYING to see Tails train with Arthur. Otherwise it's great.

Also that is some great fanart.

EDIT: Something that's been glossed over: Their plan to have Elmer manipulate Dr. Robotnik's corpse into making robots appears to have worked if Garry is to be believed. That's pretty silly.
