Default Episode 281: Give 'Im Boot To Da Head



I always enjoy having an excuse to make new sprites for a comic. I'll update the Sheik sprite sheet to reflect the addition of the Jumpkick and Dart Throw poses, when I have the chance.

After her pathetic display when fighting Llyod, that was quite the surprise. Great scene, though.

Oh, and since I seem to be Mr. Font now... Shiek is talking with Link's font in the 7th panel. I think that's the only nitpicking for anyone to do though, so hurray!

Only dishonorbale if you come from behind them. If you start from the front, all back-techniques are fair-game.

Yeah, if you run around behind them and they leave themself open for you to do this. But how much honor is there in quickly poofing behind them and catching them just unawares as a sneak attack?

I have also just noticed that I've been spelling Sheik wrong. Hope it doesn't screw up whatever purpose transcribing those two comics I did serves.

I think this has been the best one in a while. Possiblly the smash bros. moves or the fact that I laughed hysterically thoughout reading the entire thing. I think it's the second one, though.

I'm not a big fan of the orange smoke. I've always seen Sheik as more of a blue, or purple smoke kinda person. The motion lines and blurs were cool looking though. And "Headkick!" is a great new sound effect.

The orange smoke was lifted directly from Super Smash Bros. Melee, as are most of Sheik's abilities in Zelda Comic. I just calls 'em like I sees 'em.

mjc0961, your misspelling of "Sheik" negates any grammatical or technical corrections you make on my comic for all time. Please don't be "Mr. Font" anymore. It's really annoying.

When ever I hear (Or in this case, see.) the words "Super Smash Bros." I orgasm with joy.

Its too bad you cant really use them as that good of a distraction in Super Smash Bros. As Sheik's recovery time from using that movie is fairly slow.

Good comic Mario. *applause*

They make good distractions as a midair attack, which has less recovery time. Especially if you charge up the maximum strength 5-dart version, then hit the shield button so you can move around and attack normally, then hit the B button whenever you want to let them out.

Alrighty. Not that I really cared about what font Sheik used to say one word anyway.

I wonder how Ganondorf is doing right about now. Will he attack Sheik from behind with a headkick of his own?

Why didn't they put that on the main page?!

That's really off-topic and we shall stop speaking of it at once.

Although Zelda Comic is shown in a 2D side on perspective, wouldn't it be safe to assume that the comic "world", does in fact have depth. If so, why did link not merely shift himself about 30cm to the right/left?
