That final battle came out faster than I expected. I’m happy that my two favourite characters were the ones who made it to the final battle. Regardless of who wins, I will be satisfied. But, that doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop with Fawful now. Time for an epic speech...

My brothers, we, the fans of Mario’s RPG adventures, have been continually challenged and beaten down for too long! From Mario RPGs original content being locked behind Square’s copyright hell, to Paper Mario being in a hated state for 8 years now, to AlphaDream’s bankruptcy, and not being able to have the one representing these games music win a single match in two massive music based tournaments.

This isn’t even mentioning the ‘riffs’ among these communities as well. Like Super Paper Mario’s very mixed reception upon the community, to the M&L remakes being very heavily debated with many different opinions about them and how they compare with the original games. And let’s not even start the discussion about modern games lack of story and original characters.

And while I can’t speak for fans of other Yoko related work, I feel they’ve had their own hard times too just like every community. From Kingdom Hearts 3’s long development, to Street Fighter 5’s launch.

But now, is the chance to prove that we are greater than it may seem. I mean, this tournament isn’t going to change much if anything, it’s just a for fun thing with no big prize at the end. But it’s time for the love of the Mario RPGs, and Yoko’s wonderful classical like music, to gain some kind of victory! Even if we needed the help of Green da la Bean to get there.

Let’s a go!
