See, combos in MOTHER 3 are scored by hitting the A button to the beat of the music, and you can score up to 16 hits. They aren't necessary as the first hit deals the most significant damage (especially if you get a "SMAAAASH!") and the later ones slowly descend to one point, but that little extra bit can be helpful. If you're bad at rhythm games like I am, you can put the enemy to sleep and a p-thunk, p-thunk, p-thunk will be heard over the beats you would hit. It's supposedly the enemy's heartbeat. But... plenty of MOTHER 3 enemies are robots or things that shouldn't have heartbeats.
Incidentally, the Zombie Dog's battle music (titled Fate or Seriousness or possibly both) is one of my favorite songs in MOTHER 3. But the beat is so hard. I'll never get it.
You should make a webcomic, BP.
Webcomics, I don't know. I could technically be making one, since I only publish them on the Internet... but "webcomic" suggests some regularity to the comics' creation, usually "Mondays and Fridays and it says Wednesdays but you never actually get a new one on Wednesdays." I just make them whenever I feel like it.
