š Help me decide the neutral special for Col. Mustard šØ
Given the mind game aspects of Clue, I think itād be fair to say he should play as a mix-up character, swapping between trapper and bait-and-punish setups to secure a stock.
With that in mind! I got two tricky moves and one thatās a little more straightforward forward.
š Elephant Gun is a 3 stage, mid-range projectile, charge attack. ā¢ If you tap it, you strike your opponent with the butt of the gun. ā¢ Hold the attack for a moment, you load one shell into the double barrel. ā¢ Hold it down for a couple moments, you load two shells into the double barrel, dealing a much stronger attack with a larger hitbox. It also pushes the opponent back significantly.
š¦Æ Bluff uses Col. Mustardās cane he is sometimes seen with. This would be a true mind game type move. Rather than being used as a counter, I thought itād be interesting if some of his smash attacks used his cane to strike like a sword (cause smash bros needs more sword characters). The difference being, when you use the special, he draws the cane, hesitates for a moment, creating some odd timing, then draws a sword from the cane to strike. Youād be able to input a direction to change the angle or the type of strike you dealt sort of like with Marthās side special.
š Shoulder Check. Some versions of Col. Mustard writes his backstory as a former football celebrity. His special could be a strong but short tackle or dash attack.
Which makes the most sense for Col. Mustardās mix-up playstyle?
In our Smash Bros-style tabletop mascot tournament, what should š° Rich Uncle Pennybagās šµ (aka Mr. Monopolyās) neutral special be?
Rich Uncle Pennybagās has an all-rounder playstyle but leans a bit towards zoner. These are the moves I would expect him to have.
šŖ Spare Change: He throws a random number of coins (ranging 1-5 coins) in an arc causing light damage, slight flinch, and a messy hitbox.
š Bait-and-Switch: Presents a contract to an opponent, creating a small window in which he could stun an attacking opponent. Think Peachās counter mixed with JigglyPuffs sleep move.
Aaaaand makes the last round of Round 1 AND the most one-sided fight weāve had so far. If this was a legit Smash tournament, weād be looking at a 3-stock.
From here on, weāll be conducting things a little differently. Iād like to do custom art for the victors whether itās hand drawn or graphic design.
See ya soon with the first quarter finals bout and the matchups for the losers bracket.
Sup! It's time for another Game Gauntlet (working title, still looking for a better one) āļø ROUND 1āWINNERS BRACKET This is match 7 of 8! WOWZERS!!! I've neglected to mention in past posts that if your mascot of choice loses, you are no longer allowed to play that game. Whoopsies...
Battleship Commander (Battleship, duh)
vs
The Vagabond (Root, the raccoon one)
One's got nukes, but the other one is actually willing to use them. Some people just want to watch the world burn. If you choose Vagabond, that's you too.
š¢ Battleship Commander: LR zoner/camperāthink Samus + King K. Rool
š¦ Vagabond
: Hit-and-run assassin; is a raccoonāthink Shiek + Toon Link + a raccoon
Powerful Range vs Agility Old Man Stink vs Wet Fur Stink

Be there! Be square! Be whatever shape you likeāit's your party, and you can cry if you want to!
This is the first landslide victory in the Game Gauntlet. Maybe this kitty has what it takes to win the whole thing. Letās see if they maintain this momentum.
Would the Exploding Kitten have like Pichu type moves where they damage themselves as they play? Or, do they load up some explosive move to one-shot an opponent.
Next up is the Commander from Battleship and The Vagabond from Root. Yes, I know thereās a lot of different Vagabonds. Iām still deciding if the character would be an amalgamation of all of them or if Iām choosing a specific Vagabond. What do you all think?
Beholders have a challenge rating of 13 in dnd 5e. Iād be interested to know what the Queenās CR is (or was). I picture the Beholder (Xanathar) playing something like Bowser Jr. and Ridley put together. Super camper-heavy tactics.
Next up, an Exploding Kitten and Cavity Sam. The name sounds made up, but apparently the guy from operation has a name too. Learning a lot during this tournament.
I got to admit, Iām on the losing side of this every time. Still, Iād be more interested in seeing an iconic character like Lord Licorice in our all tabletop games version of Smash Bros.
The full list of contestants is now revealed! Look out for the next post soon.
Munchkin vs Candyland. Spyke vs Lord Licorice. You got Link's bombs, Megaman's buzzsaw, R.O.B.'s top thingyāI imagine all Spyke's moves are just chucking items at people. On the other hand, you have Lord Licorice sticking to his Twizzler obsession. Smash needed one more character with a sword. Right?

š© Tip of The Hat: Throws his hat in the direction heās facing before it returns like Linkās boomerang. Picks up one item on the battlefield if it crosses paths.

ROUND 1 ā FINAL MATCHUP š
š ļø Zehra (Scythe)
vs
š¦ Henry Hippo (Hungry Hungry Hippos)
One is a hardened commander of an industrial war machineā
calculated, relentless, and built for resource domination.
The other is pure chaos.
No strategy. No mercy. Just consume everything in reach.
Is this a battle of precision vs primal hunger?
Or does raw, unstoppable momentum crush careful planning?
š„ Who advances to Round 2?
Vote like itās Smash Bros rules ā and defend your pick in the comments.
(Bonus points if you explain Zehraās Final Smash or Henryās Ultimate.)

Another landslide. OOF! And thereās only one battle left in the round 1ās winner bracket. Iām looking forward to quarter-finals.
I was thinking of releasing character art for the winners of the next rounds. What do you guys think?
