Sure Is Windy In This Brawlin’ Arena
Time for the last Chronicle of the Season, folks! But that’s not all—this is our last Chronicle in the before times: the days before we go free-to-play. The community and the game will never be the same, but some of you will still remember the good ol’ days where brawlin’ began. Some day, in the not too distant future, someone will make a meme about the demon ball, and the newcomers will ask what it means, while the OG crew will sit back knowingly and smile.
It’s been a heck of a year. We’re so proud of all that this community has come together, created, and accomplished. We’ve had five full seasons of tournament winners, memes and fanart, we’ve come together to raise money for worthy charities, many of our Creator Crew have grown their own communities and even got accepted to the Twitch Partner Program! Let’s look back on the past year of content as we head into year two!
Favorite Things
Brawlers on rooftops and Devs in back alleys
Streamers and memers and great dodgeball rallies
Teammates who’ve unlocked the Crew Logo wings
These are a few of my favorite things!
When balls lock on, when you get dunked, when you’re feeling sad, I simply remember this year’s favorite things and then I don’t feeeeeeel soooooo baaaaaaaad!
Legitimately difficult to pick favorites from the past year, but here’s a small selection. Tab right to see some of our favorites from Reddit:
- We were part of r/place on Reddit
- We’ve made some good memes that make you nod and smile
- Some that make you proud
- And a few that make you snort a little
- Then, there’s these wholesome moments where you’ve just got to hug it out
The Fanart has been on. point.
- Likely one of the first pieces of Fanart that came out, before the game was released:
- The incredibly talented FloofyDraws (had a hard time picking just one piece)
- A studio favorite right here
- Some sick cosplay fanart
- Knockout City, the Board Game
We can’t wait to see what you all come up with in Year 2! Just remember, you’re OG crowd, so when the time comes, be nice to the newbies, alright?

Be sure to zoom in on the detail in this ethereal brawler fanart by SadCactus7 in our Discord!
Not all fanart is visual. Sometimes, after a long day of playing mom on the internet, I like to kick back with a glass of sparkling apple juice and unwind to the Wii Theme Music. Well, not anymore. Now I’ll be relaxing to this chill beat:
Since we’ve got a little bonus week coming up, here’s a little somethin’ extra for you, from @mythicaljuju.
