Author- Squideeboy

"Not to be confused with his cameo, Guardian of the Cübe"Squideeboy is the secondary author of Crusade of New Super Smash Bros Ultimate Deluxe x Turbo Special World Championship Edition 2 & Knuckles.

Writing Style
Contrary to other writers, Squideeboy takes a long form approach to his chapters. His writing style appears much more mature and polished on a surface level, which he describes as, "verbose garbage." Squideeboy focuses more on the development of his characters rather than on the larger plot. For comedy, Squideeboy most frequently utilizes melodrama, mood whiplash, surreal humor, and intricate inside jokes. Squideeboy also likes developing large and intricate worlds despite their small size. Squideeboy uses a small cast of characters as well, many of which have long backstory's and "broken" personalities as he describes it. Squideeboy is most well characterized by his lack of using a major element of the world, trophies.

Themes
One of the most common themes brought up in Squideeboy's writing is death. Coincidentally, this is the main theme of Mitsuru's home game Persona 3. Death is played in one of two ways, for melodramatic humor or for genuine attempts at emotional beats.

In the context of heroes, death is given a much more emotional significance. It is the recurring "villain" that haunts Mitsuru. Death is used to question Mitsuru's morality. It is used to test her will of greater good. Squideeboy has described himself the meaning death has to him in his stories. He says that, "I know death at this point is becoming repetitive in my writing. I will admit I use it to kill off minor villains so I don't have to write for them. I use death more to test Mitsuru's moral compass. As a whole, mitsuru is always conflicted with the world. She debuts in Book III simply hell bent on rage from the death of her horse. It's not until Athena is the first victim to cry in pain. It reminds Mitsuru that her enemies are human too. In the next book Mitsuru is more empathetic with her enemies and it eventually makes it hard for her to fight."

Additionally, Squideeboy frequently brings up the themes of redemption and self discovery. These themes primarily brought to give characters more weight in their progression. In the case of the latter, self discovery provides a polar opposite of death. He states that, "To me fully achieving self discovery is when you no longer fear death. There's no need to waste time searching because you have finally found who you are meant to be."

Arcs Contributed
Squideeboy was brought onto the team around the development of Book II. His debut in writing for the fanfiction began when he wrote the opening sequence for Book II. When he was asked what to do for the story, the team told him to, "Do whatever you want." This overall came as a double-edged sword. Squideeboy was able to experiment and finalize his writing style but at the same time was not aware of The Story's Engine. Many of his early chapters violated these rules and as a result became deconfirmed as canon.

The following arcs that were deconfirmed as canon are noted in Italics. Arcs that are already not canon are underlined


 * Shrek's storybook- The arc serves as the opening sequence to Book II. The compilation of stories was initially planned to be in Shrek's storybook as a gag setup. This provided a failsafe for the numerous rules broken. The Arc follows the reintroduction of Shrek after Book I when he returns to the life in his swamp and rejects his invitation to Smash. At the time, this arc followed a very rough style of writing. It bears a stronger resemblance to the writing style of the other authors.
 * The Beach Episode - The arc was added solely to provide filler for Book II. It is a standalone story that follows numerous different anime characters quarreling on a beach when Futaba's sandcastle is knocked over.
 * Got their bell rung- This arc spans over a single chapter length in Book II and was deconfirmed canon in Book III. It follows Old Joseph Joestar and Booker Bell in their espionage mission to gain intel on the whereabouts of the trophied heroes.
 * The Horse Arc- (See full article.) This is the most recent arc written by Squideeboy and is his primary arc. The story follows Mitsuru Kirijo and her journey to find the murderer of her horse. Along the way she discovers a greater evil in the world that needs to be stopped. In many trials and tribulations, Mitsuru's moral compass is tested on the humanity of her enemies.
 * Jikken-Shitsu Kara Akuma- This arc has been confirmed to be in development by Squideeboy. It will serve as the prequel to the Horse Arc that will be told alongside it after the infiltration of Monsters Inc. The story follows George Miller, a Kirijo Group research engineer based off of the musician of the same name. George worked in anti-shadow technology until the company took its dark turn in 2004. Forced under the order of Takeharu, George directs numerous inhumane experiments. He is unable to quit because of his serious financial trouble. George grows resentful to how Takeharu treats him and the world. Eventually George plots to murder Takeharu and bring a downfall to the company. He develops a technology allowing him to shapeshift into Shuji Ikutsuki and take down Takeharu. After being shot down on the top floor of Tartarus, George is stuck in a purgatory of his own thoughts. He soon awakens to find himself in a spaceship. Inside the spaceship is Wilbur Soot, a recently fallen hero. The two discover that those who truly oppose evil are left in a Vahalla of sorts. Squideeboy strives to take a different approach with writing this arc, intending to write in both first and third person.
