A typical day between myself and Cynical.

Just to give an idea of how ridiculous inside jokes between us can get, have a story that I find very strange. This might seem odd, but I promise it's all true.

So recently, as some of you might know, I've been engrossed by a murder mystery series known as Danganronpa, which could most easily be summed up as the halfway point between Phoenix Wright and Battle Royale. Last month, I finally got my friend Cynical to try it, and judging by how the first game is his 3rd most played game on Steam now, and he's still playing it despite having already completed the main story and one round of school mode, I'd say he liked it a fair amount. Amongst the likeable cast in that game, one of the characters we both agreed was quite enjoyable was this kid named Chihiro. She has a lot of things going for her, but for now, all you really need to know is that she's the Ultimate Programmer, and she's one of the sweetest and most innocent characters in the entire roster.

Anyway, after a bit of experimenting with the Mii Fighters in Smash, I decided to try to make some of the Danganronpa characters into mii fighers in Smash, and one of them just so happened to be Chihiro here. After making eight of them, I decided to have them all fight it out in an eight player brawl. Surprisingly, in a field full of athletes, hitmen, and an actual serial killer or two, it was Chihiro, the meekest and most innocent of the entire lot, that emerged victorious:

I thought it was amusing, so I sent it to Cynical, who commented about it, but didn't do anything else. After all, why would he? The result of an eight person brawl is essentially random, especially when they're all level 9 CPU's, so neither of us suspected anything.

And then Chihiro won the rematch.

And the following rematch.

By this point, I was pretty confused. I hadn't given Chihiro any special equipment compared to any of the other mii's; the only difference was what class they were, and she wasn't the only gunner. And yet Chihiro, even under different rulesets and on different stages, always made it to at least 2nd place without fail. Even after performing a tournament, that remained consistent:

As I did these experiments, I sent this info to Cynical, hoping to bounce ideas of why this was happening off of him. This, in hindsight, might've been a mistake. Before long, Chihiro went the way of Shaggy, and suddenly Cynical was busy quoting memes about how Chihiro is the most powerful being in the universe. Still, I figured it might be fun to humor that idea and make a tournament called the Slayer of Gods Invitational, where Chihiro would enter a battlefield full of Smash's Gods, Godslayers, and those that had accomplished feats that would qualify them for it:

We made it to the semi final match, before I guess the power of the four finalists was too much for the world to handle, and the game crashed:

So I restarted the tournament. Take a wild guess what happened.

So... great. It looks like the universe called my bluff, and now I'm going to be hearing about how Chihiro Fujisaki is the ultimate life form for a while now. Now Cynical will be dedicated to turn this:

Into this:

How wonderful.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not telling this story because I'm particularly annoyed (Not yet, anyway. It'll depend on how long he pounds the joke into the ground. Past implies that it'll be a while, though). I just thought it was an interesting look into how the most random nonsense turns into some really strange inside jokes that literally nobody outside of the two of us will ever get. (kinda like my entire April Fool's Day Post).
