In the same way that Bubsy was the surprise 151st character in the SMASH 150, Kebako was supposed to be 201, but that was before the Ultimate DLC was announced.

The main character from WayForward's Cat Girl Without Salad, an April Fools Day joke that involved fake screenshots of a game featuring a hilariously mish-mashed design of a character in a game whose genre could be described as "shooter/puzzle/RPG/rhythm/dating sim/etc./etc." The "screenshot" was crammed with so many details and mechanics as to be ridiculous and I can only assume nobody really fell for it.

But then, some time in the future, a short game was released based on the idea. Of course, it had to trim away a lot of rubbish to actually be a playable game, and ended up as a shoot-em-up. The hook was that it featured power-ups that changed your controls to those of other genres (ie: Rhythm game, RPG menus or transforming into a retro Pac-Man style character.)

It was fun and flippant but it suffered from the same problem seen previously in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The desperate need to have ceaseless, pointless chatter from the not-very-hilarious characters while you're trying to play the game! I find that kind of thing more distracting than entertaining, sadly, but it was otherwise a nice little idea!

WHO'S NEXT?

Not sure! It still depends on who the next DLC character is. I KNOW I'm still drawing all the Smash characters but I am desperately trying convince people that this is no longer a Smash Bros project so I'll be doing some re-branding in the future.
