XO-TANS NOTES!
Usually that emperor guy writes these, but since he's uh..."busy" at the moment, I guess I'll handle it! I'm not gonna refer to the fighters with silly codenames, though.
Okay so the first guy is El Bichito De Kirby, but since that name is kind of long I just call him Bichito. I think that translates to something like "small creature, child, or insect" in English, but he doesn't seem to mind. He's so cute!!! Apparently he's died and been to heaven before? Who would kill such an adorable thing? When I find out, I'll have to give them a piece of my mind! But I digress. Despite his harmless appearance, his "Beam Attacks" are no joke! I would hate to be on the receiving end of one...you know, if he doesn't miss.
The other guy is Jack Black! Oh, and Elmo is there too. They're the same cheerful, octagon obsessed guys they've always been! Though I get the feeling Jack Black is filled with some kind of power. If he is, he hasn't let it go to his head at all. Elmo seems pretty much the same, but I wouldn't underestimate either of them if I was the boss, that's for sure! It would hurt to get whacked with a stop sign, ouch.
