Trivia[]
The event's two original previews.
- This event is based on the "Weapon Triangle" combat mechanic in the Fire Emblem games in which swords have a combat disadvantage against lances.
- The Bandana Dees may reference the Soldier class in the Fire Emblem games, who are commonly lance users. Their team color may reference enemy units, which are normally red on map screens.
- The preview image of this event was changed twice over the development of SSF2. It was first changed in Beta 1.1 due to the costumes used for Marth and Bandana Dee changing, and it was changed again in Beta 1.2.2 due to Bandana Dee receiving new sprites.
