Love how Bowser walked over like “that’s my boy, putting down the rats” then walked over to Pichu and was like “you’re okay, rat. You got a lot of heart.” We do love Bowser
I honestly thought Bowser was telling Pichu he's now a member of the Koopa Troop or something because he liked him and Pichu had no choice in the matter anyway lol. Kinda like how he immediately says Mario is now part of his army in legend of seven stars.
@@gboogie3257 Eh... He spoils his kid rotten, never saying no to him, and teaches him that bullying people and being evil is what to do. Though at least he apparently gives him chores and makes sure he does his homework as seen in Rabbid kingdom battle, but other than that? Nah. He's a loving father but he definitely ain't a good one lol.
Yeah, you'd think that Bowser would be praising Junior for defeating Pichu, then curb-stomping Pichu, but instead he's gentle on the little guy?! That's not the Bowser I know!
Houndour has Flash Fire, so Bowser Jr’s attack would have done no damage and actually increased Houndour’s fire power. Pichu started this fight for no reason.
I know this was more of a budget episode than the others, but I think it shows everything Smash Bracket did so well. The lack of voice acting was natural for both of them, and they were expressive enough to have the viewer know what they were thinking regardless. The choice to have it on a playground with Bowser Jr. being a sereotypical bully was unexpected, but an inspired choice, and it really used the environment to the best of its ability.
Kids fighting in a playground is a new one. Variety was always a strength of this show. Of course the last time we saw Pichu, it was witnessing Dark Samus go on a killing spree. I know Kirby is the deliberate target, but i should probably go talley how many times Mario got wrecked in these animations.

I like Bowser being there at the start and end. Watching out for Jr. and even being nice to Pichu. Man is the baddest of the bad, but he's also just a great dad.
I keep forgetting animations like this are not death battle and for a moment i was like "I'm gonna watch fictional kids die arnt i?" But then I watch it and its actually heartwarming in some-cases.
When you realize Pichu’s heroics most likely have been unnecessary because Houndour can get the flash fire ability and it’s just a fire type in general
Not ALL Houndour's have that ability, this one could have had Early Bird. And fire type moves can still hurt, and one from Bowser Jr, likely would hurt alot.
Given Pichu's tendency to hurt itself with almost every attack in its movepool, even if it was stronger than Bowser Jr, it was only a matter of time before Pichu wore itself out. The winner is Bowser Jr.
Even though it was a short one, this was a really good fight. I think a lot of VS battle channels struggle to pull off that fast paced beat-em-up style animation, but it was done so well here. Great work!
I unironically love how the playground setting was used, more fights should do that (Mewtwo vs Sephiroth would've been an 11/10 if they fought in a playground)
I cant believe someone got this!!! Absolutely it is. Our original track for this battle had the Pichu Bros theme as the base for it, but it just didn't end up meshing how we needed it to.
I love the Pichu Brothers shorts! They were basically engraved into my head as a kid lol. Ah that definitely would’ve been amazing to hear had it turned out as planned. I love the attention to detail for the characters and their history it’s really neat
I was not expecting Splash from Neptunia Re;birth 1 to be the song used during the fight. Now it's just reminding me that Neptune could be a really cool (albeit niche) character to have in Smash.
Another great episode Ink! Hopefully you're feeling better and glad of the amazing work the team put out despite the small handful of episodes you produced. I'll look forward to whatever you post next
Honestly, as short as it is- I really love how creatively the p[layground setting was used here. Stuff like Jr. using the slide to launch into the swing for Momentum and Pichu electrocuting all of the metal parts of the monkey bars and jungle gym. Very much a short but sweet package, I loved all the little interactions like that. Setup was adorable as well, Dad bowser is always a joy to see and a Pichu stepping in to protect a friend (That probably would have been immune anyway because of flash fire lol) is absolutely precious. Just in general, the animation team did a great job, especially with the choreography and the expression work on the sprites.
The fact that this fight was so short and pichu definitely put up the better fight only losing because of his dex entry (and junkot probably being more durable) is insane
While I don't exactly believe in "canonical wins" in crossover fights, since the characters are from different universes with different rules and even if they weren't, the author is usually the one choosing the winner... Yeah, this fight was still superb with great animation and use of their abilities. Anti-Mario was a nice surprise and the ending was deliciously wholesome. Kudos.
They didn’t have the budget to do that episode, and they decided that Jr. would win that battle. To see more information about the canceled episode, there’s a community post they did a bit ago showing all the stats and stuff.

Even though I am an Iggy/Lemmy main, the character is still Bowser Junior. And after waiting for over 3 years, my main is finally in an episode! And not just an episode, but a great one! This was a ton of fun! Thanks Smash Bracket!
I Was Thinking The Whole Battle Like "There's No God Dang Way A Baby Pikachu Beats Bowser Jr, Who Has Mechs, His Own Clown Car, Breathes Fire, And Almost Got Mario Arrested." Also I Have Another Battle Idea: Shulk Vs Byleth It Seems Like A Much Better Fight Than Byleth Vs Palutena. Shulk Can See Into The Future With The Monado And Byleth Can Correct His/Her Mistake With The Help Of Sothis.
I mean... we really dont need it, pichu may have speed advantage, but its attacks are not gonna do meanin full damage, and we dont mention that bowser jr didnt use any of his robots
I like how after the epic fight between Bowser's son and Pichu, he came to not just show good sportsmanship like as if he was spectating from an distance. (Which if it was true, then it would make sense) But the fact he actually shown true passionate caring for both his son and Pichu. That's so wholesome which is why people should see Bowser not an bad guy anymore. 😢🥺👏✨️
First of all this is a fanmade animation. Second of all, he enslaved people in paper jam and tried to burn down an entire universe with paper Mario, Mario, Luigi and paper Bowser inside of it. He tried to take over the universe a total of 8 times throughout the series. He watched and did nothing while his son literally caused a drought and almost made a volcano that had people living in it erupt in Mario Wonder, infact he was probably proud of Jr doing stuffs like that. Oh, and when Antasma blew up entire islands that could have people living in it, he laughed and said it was awesome. OH AND he also once traveled back in time in one Yoshi island game to KIDNAP BABIES in order to find the seven star children and rule the world. He kidnapped babies. You were saying? And no, just because he loves his son, his minions and Peach doesn't automatically clear him of all his crimes, that's ridiculous. Hitler loved his mom too, yet none is saying Hitler was a good person because of that. (Yeah Bowser is WAY better than Hitler, I'm just using it as an example to show even the most evil people CAN love other people and it doesn't mean they're not evil.)

@@Luiz_Filipe2008 No it wasn't as Pichu lost to Bowser Jr as the latter got up first before the former fainted like you can clearly see Jr try and throw a punch to Pichu before it fainted and news flash, it's legit impossible to do a tie here, one has to move on and had the show continued, Bowser Jr. would move onto round 2.
Love how Bowser walked over like “that’s my boy, putting down the rats” then walked over to Pichu and was like “you’re okay, rat. You got a lot of heart.”
We do love Bowser
We actually originally had dialogue for this and that is remarkably close lol

😂 😂 😂
This is why Pichu is not the trainer
Houndour could also have Early bird, there’s a chance Pichu was unnecessary, but I do agree
Ok, but him having the funny bird sounds hilarious
Not every Houndour has the same ability you know

Been following this for like 3-4 years and it’s still dope
I keep forgetting animations like this are not death battle and for a moment i was like "I'm gonna watch fictional kids die arnt i?" But then I watch it and its actually heartwarming in some-cases.
I just noticed Pichu took the blast for Houndour, just how Samus took a blast from Dark Samus for Pichu. That’s really cute actually!
Ngl you absolutely could not tell this had a smaller budget and resources than the rest of the show
Honestly I didn't expect a similar ending,but I enjoyed everything.
What a funny fight.
0:39 Houndour can have the ability "flash fire" that they might ironically have been completely fine, even if Pichu didn't block the attack.
He might have the ability Early Bird
Nice Reference to the Pichu bros mini Pokemon movie short from the early 2000's with the Houndour being the one Pichu protected
When you realize Pichu’s heroics most likely have been unnecessary because Houndour can get the flash fire ability and it’s just a fire type in general
Not ALL Houndour's have that ability, this one could have had Early Bird. And fire type moves can still hurt, and one from Bowser Jr, likely would hurt alot.
RIP Kirby’s sandcastle.
I freakin' adore how you used the playground setting in the choreography. This was definitely a short but sweet kind of fight!
Well Bowser jr wins because there's one thing that Pichu clearly doesn't know:
You damage yourself too much.
I mean, to be fair, that has as much bearing in canon as Lucario’s “Aura Boost” from getting hit a bunch. 🤷♂️
I love this animation! The set up made me laugh, the choreography was pretty unique, and the ending is pretty wholesome!
This was a nice sprite battle between Pichu and Bowser Jr
I’ve even reacted to this sprite battle
Short but sweet, hope you're feeling better Ink, and spoilers.
I'll take that Bowser Jr W thank You very much.
Can't wait for Morag vs Undyne whenever that comes out btw, I'm most excited for that one.
Given Pichu's tendency to hurt itself with almost every attack in its movepool, even if it was stronger than Bowser Jr, it was only a matter of time before Pichu wore itself out.
The winner is Bowser Jr.

Bowser now has a pokemon
How funny would it have been if they used the Onlap song “My Playground”
I like how lighthearted this fight was,at least compared to some others.
Kirby getting bullied for the thousandth time now, lol.
Stop the Kirby slander😭
The only unrealistic part is that Kirby didn't swallow Jr then and there.
@@CaptBlock eh, I’d say him not doing that is pretty realistic. Kirby’s not THAT trigger happy. Unless it’s food related, lol.
I unironically love how the playground setting was used, more fights should do that (Mewtwo vs Sephiroth would've been an 11/10 if they fought in a playground)
Mewtwo: builds a giant sandcastle that looks like his mad science fort from the movie.
Sephiroth: drops a big rock on it.
What if Mewtwo used his psychic powers to blast holes in bulletin boards?
Bowser just going “It’s okay rat, you did good”.
I love Pichu so much.
Glad you’re back and feeling better Ink
Is that essentially one of the Pichu brothers protecting the Houndour they befriended? If so that’s a really cool homage
I cant believe someone got this!!!
Absolutely it is. Our original track for this battle had the Pichu Bros theme as the base for it, but it just didn't end up meshing how we needed it to.
I love the Pichu Brothers shorts! They were basically engraved into my head as a kid lol.
Ah that definitely would’ve been amazing to hear had it turned out as planned. I love the attention to detail for the characters and their history it’s really neat
I’m curious, what’s the next animation going to be?
I was not expecting Splash from Neptunia Re;birth 1 to be the song used during the fight.
Now it's just reminding me that Neptune could be a really cool (albeit niche) character to have in Smash.
I love that Bowser actually lets it slide instead of ripping him in 2. This was a fun one
0:18 why is jr. acting like kirby wont one shot him?
Another great episode Ink! Hopefully you're feeling better and glad of the amazing work the team put out despite the small handful of episodes you produced. I'll look forward to whatever you post next
Having them being just kids fighting in a playground fits so well and I don’t know why…
I didn’t even notice it was low budget, even though I already saw the announcement
Great fight! Actually the short nature of the fight feels natural, Pichu would probably be KOed pretty quick.
And the funny part is he likely would’ve KOed himself before even hurting Bowser Jr. which is what happened, lol.
Was A Tie
And to this day forward, you can still find a pichu in the
Koopa Klown Car from time to time.
