Super Smash Man - Challengers Approaching!

Description

A much over-due follow-up to "Super Smash Man" [link] which I did back in January in support of our Blue Bomber. Of course, now we know that he will in fact be joining the battle next year! As a major nerd for both Mega Man and Smash Bros, you can only imagine how psyched I am. Hail Sakurai!

Here's some fun trivia for you about not only this piece, but the first "Super Smash Man" as well:

- As stated, "Super Smash Man" was created by me in January of 2013, nearly five month prior to the reveal of Mega Man joining the battle. As such, Yoshi is present instead of Pit, since this was built to mirror the cast of Super Smash Bros. 64, and not the reveal of Super Smash Bros. 4.
- While I didn't release this follow-up until now, I originally created it immediately after the first piece. Some of the characters gave me a lot of trouble, especially Jigglypuff and Ness, and so I shelved it after a while to work on other things.
- The graphics were initially ripped from Mega Man 4, matching the upcoming Super Smash Bros. as being the fourth entry in each series. However, some elements, such as Mega Man's appearance in the center and the busted "Doc Robot" frames, are referencing Mega Man 3.
- Many, but not all, of the Nintendo cast share something in common with the Robot Master that occupies the same slot on the grid, such as Mario and Pharaoh Man both shooting fire balls, Pikachu and Bright Man both being electrical and Kirby and Dust Man both ... sucking.
