Awkward Zombie

It's not.

They added it to the remake as a way of blocking off certain TMs until the post-game. They're hidden in places where you have to ramp the Mach Bike up a slope and THEN jump the Acro Bike across ledges, or vice versa, which is impossible if you're still having to go back and swap bikes.

If they wanted to not be assholes about it, they could just let you unlock Katie's ultimate bike she's trying to breed up so you don't still have to change bikes in your inventory to get one ability or the other, but they did not do that.

More Inquisition, more treasure nabbing.

Roy being exiled was funny at first but this just seems mean. I actually feel BAD for the guy!

400 comics!

Is that Snake next to Kirby hanging from the ceiling?

Yeah, I think Roy has gone full Woobie now.

But Roy is in Smash 4.

You know, I wish SSB Marth was like Katie's Marth. FE Marth too, for that matter.

Same. Roy too. They're both so boring in Canon.

I'm pretty sure the Roy jokes are supposed to be mean.

Roy is 1/2 of a comedy duo Katie invented of Roy and Marth. She gave both characters personalities entirely independent of their canon. The rest of the cast is borrowed, but this version of Roy and Marth are hers, and then Nintendo obsoleted them. Now Marth is a Straight Man without a joke and Roy is a homeless drifter, and it's probably going to stay that way until Nintendo lets her have her duo back.

Which probably won't ever happen. Roy was in SSB Melee because he happened to be the protagonist of the most recent game of the time. The problem is that he only ever appeared in that one game and that game wasn't even particularly popular inside the franchise. I doubt there is much demand for him, unfortunately.

But she has me feeling BAD for him. I thought this was a weekly gag comic...

Well Lucas also got blown up early in the comic's run, so...

So was Diddy Kong.

Man, if only.

Maybe it's for the best.

Look how crazy Diddy looked in that scene man. That's not someone you want to face.

He's got a jetpack and dual handguns! He's fucking dangerous, and we are all safer due to his death.

Katie and Norrin got engaged! Also there's a fun Earthbound comic.

Dawwww. It's honestly a bit weird going through the archives and seeing her progress from high school to now.

Is it weird that I'm much more excited by the engagement than the comic?

I mean, it's a perfectly serviceable comic and funny 'cause I totally forgot that bike was even a thing in EarthBound, but it's Overshadowed by Awesome because OMG Katie's getting married!

I feel the same thing! After so many years of seeing Norrin in the comic I almost feel like I know them both. It is really nice knowing they are marring. Also, this:

Is just an adorable way to describe him.

WOOOOH! Congrats to the couple! The comics of Katie and Norrin together have always been great, it's nice to know they're getting engaged.

Oh, and bikes I guess.

Aw this is really sweet. So adorable.

Falco's gettin' real tired of your shit, Cap.

Not as tired as Samus

It's really funny, cause they WERE a thing in Brawl In The Family. What is it about them two that makes everyone ship them?

SHOW ME YOUR BOOBS

They are both human futuristic mercenaries. In the older games, they were pretty much the only two characters of completely different games that would actually make sense together. Like, you can plausible see Captain Falcon living in the Metroid universe or vice versa.
