Funbro is the nickname to a special build for the pokemon Slowbro in "competitive" online tournaments like Showderp or Fullderp.
In Reality[edit | edit source]
Funbro is purpose-built to stall matches for as long as possible until the frustrated enemy ragequits. To this end, it holds a Leppa Brry (restores PP), and uses the abilities.
- Recycle (regain held item, i.e. Leppa Berry)
- Block (enemy can not escape/be switched for another pokemon)
- Slack Off (restores half of the user's HP, i.e., keeps Slowbro alive)
- Heal Pulse (heals the target, i.e., prevents enemy pokemon from eventually knocking themselves out with Struggle once they run out of PP)
As already mentioned above, the entire idea to create what potentially is an infinite-length match until the opposing player flips his shit and quits. F U N.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Funbro faithfully continues his role as a show-stopping pacifist by never actually attacking its opponents, but instead sending them running into the ropes, only to continue a nearly-infinite string of Drop'n'Dodge moves while the other wrestler bounces from one side of the ring to the other.
Season 2[edit | edit source]
Consequently, Funbro easily broke the previous record for the longest matches. Its first debut in 8chanmania LIV against Specs Weedle only ended after Funbro suddenly tapped out after 104 minutes and 41 seconds; something many fans declared to be an act of divine intervention.
It broke its own record during its match against Hoopa during 8chanmania LV. The two fought (well, Hoopa tried to fight) for 162 minutes and 48 seconds until Funbro once again tapped out all of sudden while the game was at 800% speed.
Funbro fittingly made its final appearance against Mr. Bones during a post-show match after 8chanmania LVI. It is not known how long exactly the match went on, but suffice it to say it only ended when the game itself crashed.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
Having underwent some heavy editing to actually make it capable of (SLOWLY) winning a match, Funbro reappeared in 8chanmania LXXVIII. It defeated the Hacker (Rez) after no more than 106 minutes and 24 seconds (the timer having fucked off to parts unknown after 99:99) and somehow managed to land a pin on Snom before mercifully being cast out of the mania by Byleth.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Funbro is currently the only fighter to be banned from nominations purely for gameplay reasons.
- Funbro's original Drop'n'Duck trick originally was put to great use by WIP, but the latter underwent further editing and now has a regular moveset. Well, mostly.
