   Ha ha, great comic. The dojo posts were always so random I had always assumed that he didn’t speak english and the translator had learned from a textbook from the 1920’s. Reply to this comment.

   @Andrew: You realise that the guy who writes the English blog posts is the same guy who did much of the writing for the English version of Super Paper Mario, right? I doubt it’s a direct translation, and he’s probably just putting the stuff in his own style. Still, good comic, even though it took me a while to realise all the lines were from Dojo posts.

   Iwata: Now let’s hope that nobody gets their hands on the game early. ???: Nya ha ha! Iwata: He’s getting away with the game! Sakurai: This guy needs to calm down. Iwata: He’s coming your way, Sakurai-kun. Stop him! Sakurai: Given the proliferation of the Internet these days, the existence of hidden characters is going to get exposed anyway.

   @sea: Why do you think Super Paper Mario had so much crazy text in it? It was like somebody found a new toy and that toy was the English language. Reply to this comment.

   Even when the Smash Bros. Dojo update is REALLY bad, Sakurai’s hilarious comments make it worthwhile reading. Loving this comic. Reply to this comment.

   And now the smash dojo is going to start posting spoilers like hidden characters. Reply to this comment.

   Apparently, lack of Brawl causes regressive tendencies… Nice comic today guys. I like it! Only after the “Hot Hot HOTT” line did it click that he was saying things from the dojo. Did he really say the ‘nice and peaceful’ line somewhere? Reply to this comment.

    Bah! Another Smas Bros. related comic. I’d probably find it funny if I was interested in the game. Reply to this comment.

11. 11 Tim Posted: Jan 31st, 2008 at 10:25 am

    Author Comment Yeah, Another Andrew, we know. We go a little overboard with those Smash comics, but you don’t understand just how obsessed Ray is with that game! Reply to this comment.

12. 12 The Original Andrew Posted: Jan 31st, 2008 at 10:39 am

    I think you should start the “comic talk” section of the podcast with a little kid quoting the first comment on comic #1 “Wow, This Comic Strip looks like it has some potential.” Reply to this comment.

13. 13 Tustin Posted: Jan 31st, 2008 at 7:55 pm

    Hey, you guys forgot to update the top banner! Unless those bullet holes was what Iwata had in store for Sakurai if he said another thing from the dojo… Reply to this comment.

    Author Comment No, you’re right Tustin, we just haven’t thought of anything great yet to put there. Any ideas? Reply to this comment.

15. 15 Dj75728 Posted: Feb 1st, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    No, you’re right Tustin, we just haven’t thought of anything great yet to put there. Any ideas? Why don’t ya’ll put those “atom” lines around the 2p start logo like it is on the smash ball? or put lines through the logo to look like the smash logo(they’re both basically a circle). Or just do both . Reply to this comment.

    And hey, what does it take to win a free copy of Jessica and the Silver Eclipse? That’s a good question. I’ll talk with Tim about that. Reply to this comment.

    The new top banner looks good, even if it is one of the most annoying smash bros items around. Reply to this comment.

20. 20 Rioluke Posted: Feb 3rd, 2008 at 11:27 am

    I just listened to the podcast the other night and now I feel like an idiot. This seems to happen whenever I post on any site. I’m always misunderstood That means, no I do not dislike MLK and I do not think that you guys dislike MLK. To confirm what I meant is that you guys love to talk about brawl. I mean you said confirmed or some variation of it at least 50 times in your last podcast. I thought you would get it ,but I was wrong. Reply to this comment.

21. 21 Tim Posted: Feb 3rd, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    Author Comment Haha, it’s cool Rioluke, Ray straightened that out. It’s just that the way you wrote it made it seem like you were saying something about MLK. If you had said, “Knowing you guys, it’s probably the former”, that would have made more sense. I think Ray understood what you were saying because he is the Brawl freak around here, I’m just a casual fan. Reply to this comment.

22. 22 Rioluke Posted: Feb 3rd, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    Thats funny because I wanted to say “the former” but I could only remember latter. And I didn’t want to say “the first one” so I just wrote “the latter” thinking you guys would get it. By the way I love your avatar. Its from that one comic back when you used to be good… Reply to this comment.

23. 23 Rioluke Posted: Feb 3rd, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    How do I get an avatar like that to show up? Do I have to use a macro or something? Reply to this comment.

25. 25 Tustin Posted: Feb 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 pm

    What’s wrong? Ray doesn’t want to make something new up, so you use a previous header image? I recognize that from the Brawl comic a while back. And before you say it, no, I didn’t offer any suggestions because I haven’t checked back here all weekend. I would have suggested something that matches the white theme of the Ask Iowata, like changing the button to a white and blue theme thing. I actually like Dj75728’s idea about making the 2pstart logo into a modified version of the Smash Bros symbol (like putting those crossed lines in and the 2p up on the bigger side of the circle). Anyhow, now I’m ranting. Reply to this comment.

    I get it now after reading it three times, but I liked how he was kinda gimmicky in the words that he chose. Although he sort of seemed like he was trying to cover something up by distracting you with wierdness. Reply to this comment.
