By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - I wrote this for Rawk's Creative Writing assignment.
Once upon a time, my colleague RawkHawk2010 was in a college-level Creative Writing class. He was in an extensive poetry unit, and he needed a good sonnet. So I basically wrote it for him. He proceeded to drop out of the class before he got the grade on it! Ugh!
So sonnets are ABAB-CDCD-EFEF-GG in format and should have around 10 syllables per line. For example:
So around this time, Sakurai broke his wrist or whatever and Super Smash Bros. 4 was in danger of being canceled. So Rawk requested that the sonnet be a serious topic, and separately we wanted to do something to wish Sakurai well. So I combined all of these conversation overtones into one product!
Get well soon Masahiro SakuraiYour repetitive strained wrists hurt us allFor Smash Brothers Four we hope you don't dieBecause without that game Wii U will fall.Invigorate yourself with the fountainof dreams and youth, with a perfect Brain Age.Cease your incessant Twitterin'You must Recover and get back on the stage.It’s not a Spring Breeze or a piece of cakeTo develop games and age in reverseA dude might just trip and a wrist might acheBut that’s the way of the Wii Universe.Namco code monkeys will burden your weight.You'll be okay, heroes always arrive late.
Again, Rawk dropped out before we got the grade for this (followed by him dropping out of college entirely). His class did read it, though. I dunno if they liked it. Did you?
If you did like this, KoopaTV will be happy to provide more Artistic Corner productions and to also accept showcasing from you, the reader. For more of Ludwig's artistic works, check out his deviantART page.

Sakurai still hasn't recovered, and now it's time for his next project.
This is what Rawk doing his own college assignments looks like.
Sakurai is still alive after the fifth Super Smash Bros. game, but he's getting even worse.
Decent. I mean, half of them might not even know who he is. I dunno.
ReplyDeletePffft, everyone should know Sakurai!
DeleteHE'S A LEGEND.
His games are a legend*
Deletejapanese names are difficult for puny mortal minds.
I'm on a sugar high, and that means nonsensical stuff.
He's a legend too!
DeleteAs the sonnet makes reference to, he gets younger as he ages.
He's like 19 or 20 or something here over 20 years ago:

h-how is that...HOW THE HECK IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
DeleteSeriously, I thought he was a teenager when I looked at those more recent pictures!
lol
DeleteYeah, do you agree that he's a legend now?
Well, not to the masses, but yes, he's an enigma for sure.
DeleteThen let's go on a Sakurai promotion campaign.
DeleteWhile I do not think the teacher would like this, due to an assumed lack of knowledge on the ins and outs of videogames, I myself like it a lot. Especially that part about the Spring breeze aheheh. The extension they added to that song in super star is perfect. I wonder if there's a word for that, extending an already written song, then going forward with that extension as apart of the song forever. They have done this with Dedede's theme and i think they even kept the little bit they added to his theme in star allies, and brought it to forgotten land. Neato.
ReplyDeleteIt's called an arrangement + the original being memory-holed.
