Our MMA friend here is pretty tough, this taunt would be accurate any other day. Unfortunately for her, I HAVE ENTERED THE ARENA!

Stage by @Kolumbo
Voiced by @Jazzy666
Music borrowed from someone (who got cancelled) from a wrestling promotion (that went out of business ages ago) so it's fine, I'm sure.
Don't think I've ever officially introduced you to the portrait artist for these.

Might as well do it now for no reason (/ to help explain no joke) in particular.
Anyway,
JOIN THE PATREON
etc.
Here're today's titularly mandated shout-outs.
Spiders Bunny and Jane Pain but also Spiders Bunny by @rurusilly
I love Spiders' cute >.< face, I love Jane's awkward little peace sign juxtaposed by her standing confidently with her foot up on what I assume is a pile of battered opponents, and last but not least, how could we forget Spiders!?
Jane Pain (& some others, whatever) by @Drawvin
This is from almost a year ago but I only noticed it last week! One of the many phantom notifications I've received over the years, no doubt. Speaking of which-
Loads of my characters (& some others, whatever) by @Nebulate
Saw all these when they were originally posted to the oc plaza but how the hell did I miss all four uploads? I always say this site is falling apart, in regards to notifications, but maybe the same could be said about me (no maybe about it).

Jain Pain again by Gib (Twitter)
Because some people on Twitter aren't useless pretentious whiney dickheads! Best not to immediately think the worst of people, you should really try to work on that.
Betty in her Chandler costume by @SomeDoodles
I'm not talking to Doodles anymore, we got in a fight-
Did something similar with @Daysdove last year when I found out this "Art Fight" everybody's always going on about doesn't include any actual fighting!
You have two weeks to get me in the oc arena before I'm busy with the midsummer rumble... which also doesn't involve any fighting. Or it does when I do it but whatever.
Might as well mention combatober while we're on the topic. Here's the latest one-
In other news, I joined this collab-
Here are mine-
And I got a commission this week-
Yes, I do commissions!
Sort of...

In other other news, I bought Sekiro... but it makes my PS4 overheat so I've been playing this instead (ironically enough).

This will almost certainly be the jankiest ass game I ever recommend. I'll put it this way, you press triangle to use a health kit. Yeah, she uses it but it doesn't actually friggin' heal you! (Update: This is intentional, you have to rescue a doctor to upgrade health kits to heal +1 instead of zero... A doctor didn't appear in my game until I'd already completed it.)
This and MANY other issues aside (and, as I say, I'm on PS4, fuck knows what state the Steam version's in), I'm still recommending it. We're on Newgrounds, on @53xy83457's page at that (not that my games had any glitches, they were just crimes against humanity anyway (for example I also would've intentionally done the health kit thing)). Point is, deal with it, pussy!
