Found a source of inspiration for the dynamic between Ness & Poo :D

Some highlights from a forum thread (or whatever you call it) on how a battle between Ness & Poo would turn out. Here, I gathered some insight on how their initial sort of rivalry might turn out, plus some bonuses on their thematic dynamic :O

I get happy when I'm not the only one with this kinda idea :D

In a way, my version of this story will make Ness & Poo's initial rivalry partially one-sided. Poo's so serious about it and Ness is just teasing. Although Ness does get a little envious of how "perfect" Poo can get. (I'll hopefully elaborate this in another post later)

Saved this one because it's kinda funny xd

Ok how did we get here xd

I was not expecting this forum to get into EarthBound's world's politics so quickly xd But that whole "honourable type who would demand a 1 on 1" kinda happens in one of the scenario's I've imagined up. (And it led to a deep conversation that changed Poo forever, which I'll hopefully post here someday as well)(UPDATE: Here's the script version)

Thematic dynamic?!

I really like that observation of Ness & Poo's sort of thematic dynamic. "Massive raw power vs intense and focused training"... I could use that as inspiration for a pair in one of my own stories. Y'know, because I don't really see myself writing a SERIOUS fight between the two. I really just want lighthearted and comedic sort of bickering, especially on Poo's end (he has probably the most complex and confusing point of view towards Ness xd)
