Hey dude you probably hear this a lot already but this retrospective is outstanding!! I like that even threw the rough years of Lawl you didn't let the negative reception overwhelm you and had hope for what a moveset could be. I'm glad to see Lawl is still being supported and I wish you the best of luck!
Wow I definitely didn't expect a comment from you. Yeah, the early days of Lawl were very cruel to anyone that was not Chin, but I kept going and going even to this day, and I am proud of that. Good luck to you too, even if you are not going to continue with your Lawl!
I also remember when I saw your Lawl spinoff name and was all like "You know what? I'mma be a nice boi and make him a title thingy, complete with the word "Smash" looking whole again. You liked it, wanted the word Nova to be green, I said yes, and then you revealed it to the world in Captain N's moveset.
I still remember the times I used to post my movesets on Facebook and you became interested in what I do, hoping that it would go viral (even though there were very few these days that I find good enough to keep), leading to us becoming Facebook friends. Best of times. **celebrates for 6 seconds**
Wow, this was a nice retrospective for one of my favorite Lawl spinoffs. I like seeing the behind-the-scenes/thoughts/whatever on things like this. I admire your philosophy in creating movesets, its something similar I try to follow personally. Really though, your Lawl has evolved so wonderfully within these four years (I feel Doof's classic mode shows this perfectly, the battles were so much fun to watch, I can only imagine how those took). The balance of functioning like Sm4sh wile also making a unique character following their source is quite a task- something you do extremely well. 0:50 oh shit it's my old IM Meen and AVGN sprites back from the grave. I still remember the sheer coincidence in the fact that I made those long, long ago for a completely different project, only for after I joined the Lawl fandom to see Aitor use them on the Facebook page... it felt pretty cool! I even had to rewatch Dross's old moveset to see my old AVGN sprites in use there (oh god the sprites were awful). I certainly remember some particularly... interesting movesets posted on the Facebook page, I remember one of Chincherrinas' suggestion polls (thats been long deleted unfortunately) asked fans to create movesets for certain suggestions. I took a crack and submitted one, though my mind escapes me as to who I submitted... Side note, I do have to say your English is quite good!
It's funny to see Lawlers commenting about their old projects. I'm just a huge fan of "What could have been" situations and that. The I M Meen Sprites looked very good, actually. The Nerd... not so much.
I just love your Lawl series Skapokon! BTW, the first moveset I saw of yours was Captain N. I found it when I was searching for episodes of Captain N, and I found this! After that, I subbed you and watched your lawl series. BTW, Happy 4 years of nova!
Happy 4 years of Lawl Nova Skapokon! Man, i still remember when you made my character a joke moveset and i still enjoyed it to this day. Stay strong and never give up!
My god, this was a good history. I starting to like the new era after realize the true about the character's moveset. Keep it up! Also, holy shit, you're so awesome in English! o-o
Wow, I was really enthralled by this video! Seeing the steps you took to better your movesets and the implementation of competitive Smash to make them more suited to a widespread audience really kept my attention and made me think about how my own and other Lawls faired in that regard. Little bonus vids like this are really appreciated and I for one loved this. Glad more Lawlers watch people like Alpharad and RelaxAlax btw. On another note, since you've been thinking in regards to the competitive aspects of Smash, what characters do you think are top tier in Lawl Nova?
Perry is definitely a Top Tier, as I clearly designed him for being one. The others are much trickier to decide. Yzma is actually very good stat-wise and she has an assist character that's the opposite of her, and you play as them as the same time. The Ice Climbers are Top Tiers in Melee/Brawl, Olimar used to be Top Tier in Brawl before Smash 4 hit him with the nerf hammer and Rosalina and Luma are Top Tiers in Smash 4 so Yzma is probably Top Tier too. Other possible Top Tier is Star Butterfly, since her playstyle seems to be suitable for most kinds of playstyles and would be a good counter against most characters.
Very interesting video, Skipokon! I mean, Skepokon, I mean... you know what I mean. I personally prefer the competitive era, but I still love all of your movesets. Great job and continue making our lifes funnier!
This is one of my favorite parts about Lawl. The discussion of the thought and other meta that get put into these characters and how they are the way they are very engaging for me. Needless to say, I loved this video. PS, when's Moar Krabs for Lawl Ñoba
Its odd to see you as only one of the first popular lawlers releasing the movesets since chin is mostly working on frolo show and IBs classic mode from the Facebook while ytpguy is busy with college
I wonder how one would make a competitive friendly moveset with characters with themes, weapons and/or abilities directly tied to RNG like Virska (her weapon is literally a set of 8D8 dice) and Red Mage from 8-Bit theater (though granted, RM is better known for his min/maxing and general meta randomness but said randomness includes D&D style dice throws)
Either making all effects similar in hitboxes or property (that's the main problem with Inspector Gadget, whose random Gadgets are just too different to each other, which is also why MrG&W's Judge isn't as problematic) or find a way to make the randomness optional like I did with Star and her wand. I can't speak for the Red Mage because I haven't watched 8-Bit Theatre, but Vriska could have an attack that allows her to steal luck from her opponents, which she can later use to increase the possibilities of good effects coming from her dices.
Oh yea, I forgot about that ability. Virska is the "leave luck to me" type I guess lol. Though due to how her powers work, even with Vriska's luck stealing powers, Terezi literally can't lose.
It would be great if you did something similar for Retropokon or a video doing mini-reviews of the sources from Lawl Nova. Something similar to my Bizarre March about Edgar Wright, which basically was a single page of script for each film. This way, we can have brief opinions of what you think about Phineas & Ferb, Big Bang Theory, Star... Unless you planned longer reviews like Legend of the Crystal Coconut or the ones starring Wai.
Retropokon is much easier to divide in eras (each Anniversary Special marks the end of one, with the exception of the 3rd Anniversary Special because the Non-Halloween Special takes its place as the Season Finale), but it stil has some interesting background I can look up into. Wai introducing the Lawl Nova sources that don't have a review already would be the ideal way.
The first Light Side of the Fans in English, at least in concept. It's unbelievable how fast 4 years had happened and how much overall Lawl has changed. Very ironic that Sprite Bros Lawl influenced more your Lawl than mine, which goes full circle when Lawl of the Dead was made based into a joke-roster I made for Facebook. Which is even more a joke nowadays having character like singers, non-source trolls and clones. Competitive is something I entirely ignore as long as characters are balanced enough. The only Smash game I own is Brawl, so you can guess. Also, competitive players use to take Smash and Lawl seriously, tending to fanboyism.
I almost called it a Light Side of the Fans, but thought that it's not really a review, so... Sprite Bros Lawl is also a joke nowadays. Characters like Sprite Dr. Mario and Dr. Alfred Molina are Lawl Ñoba worthy.
I've been considering making my own Lawl spinoff, Smash Bros Lawl G. The G of course stands for gmod but I wouldn't just be using gmod. It'd mostly involve popular characters from gmod, SFM, WoW and Halo machnimas as well as a few other personal picks and personal creations. Granted, I have now idea how I'd make full movesets for characters who are only really known for one thing like Panis Cupcake (intro animation would be obvious though lol) and Vagineer.

Thanks! I was quite shocked that you ended liking the moveset AND the reviews. I even influenced you to continue with your show.
Nice history video man! Very interesting on how your Lawl became what we know and love today. Happy 4th Anniversary Lawl Nova! :)
My god, this was a good history. I starting to like the new era after realize the true about the character's moveset. Keep it up!
Also, holy shit, you're so awesome in English! o-o
Congrats for staying out here so long. Interesting retrospective.

Hello people! I am making my own version of these Lawls! What do you guys suggest me to use for animation and recording?
Hi! I recommend you to check out the tutorial I made on how to make a Lawl Moveset.
Very interesting video, Skipokon! I mean, Skepokon, I mean... you know what I mean. I personally prefer the competitive era, but I still love all of your movesets. Great job and continue making our lifes funnier!
You mispelled Sparklon :v
This was a Nice History on Lawl Nova

PS, when's Moar Krabs for Lawl Ñoba
Those are awful ideas for movesets, which means that they are great ideas for Ñoba.

Skapokon hace un vídeo en español --> I can't speak Spanish
Skapokon hace un vídeo en inglés --> Where are the subtitles?

Sonny Slaven, his only source was Ninten spriting his moveset :S
I've been considering making my own Lawl spinoff, Smash Bros Lawl G. The G of course stands for gmod but I wouldn't just be using gmod. It'd mostly involve popular characters from gmod, SFM, WoW and Halo machnimas as well as a few other personal picks and personal creations. Granted, I have now idea how I'd make full movesets for characters who are only really known for one thing like Panis Cupcake (intro animation would be obvious though lol) and Vagineer.
A Lawl made on Gmod sounds interesting.
Good video! The only thing is, I don't make very good lawl videos. That's because I'm on mobile. Any tips?
I'd recommend you to get a PC first. They are much better in terms of video editing.
Am I the only one that thought this was an actual game?
Good video but it needs subtitles
But its very nice your history
Seriusly you are going to put moar krabs?
Thanks to good that you didn,t put moar krabs
I planned a moveset for him before Lawl Nova but nowadays I find it to be a stupid idea.
music?
