Scott Pilgrim EX (2026): Are Beat-Em-Ups The Original Friendslop?

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: Feather: loud and flighty. Special move: a take so bad all enemies on screen have to engage. Karp: stable and strong. Special move: has already beaten the game, so he can skip ahead to when he already won the fight. Will: fast and has bonus reach. Special move: crashes a bike into enemies for massive damage, hurting them as well as himself (but not the bike!) Gary: fun and supportive. Special move: cooks bomb-ass pasta, healing everyone on screen. Enemies get healed, but also stunned as they try to schedule a new podcast (the more enemies, the longer the stun!) In this episode: fresh game, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (The Movie), Ready Player One, sprites, favorite combos, beat-em-up genre conventions, empty stories, not so evil exes, the spirit of whimsy compels you, better than being stung by scorpions for an hour. ~shoutouts zone~ Dueling Genre patreon presents Scott Pilgrim Minute Paul Robertson (I can't find a good portfolio or anything so have a twenty minute animated pixel short) ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Bandcamp!
