Bump

Bump again

wheee

Ness/CJ is a travesty because of the pic. To this day, the sheer incompetence of Cjay in that particular instance really annoys me. And I like EarthBound a lot! And playing as Ness in SSBM. But this was not a level playing field.

Outsourcing the pics to people who intimately know the characters involved was one of the better things Allen has done I think.
