Is the character in the right saying the white-lettered words?
- This is why speech bubbles are a thing lol
- Yes
- Also the last panel isn't needed.
  
  Really none of the art is needed, it should just all be stick figures. Artistic expression is pointless after all. 🙄
  
  I disagree. Seeing the troll character standing there still smiling as if nothing has happened, and the AAAAAAAAH that has completely replaced the trolled character really punctuates it, imo.

"How do speech bubbles work?"
- Centurri's style is heavily influenced by manga so it's probably intended to be read right to left.
  
  Even then it doesn’t work great. You can only guess wo says what because of the context.
- at least the colo(u)rs match up

Explain
- In Souls-like games, pressing the 'dodge' button when on a narrow platform is a very easy way to accidentally jump off the platform and die horribly.
  
  What controllers use X for the dodge button? Even with over 2k hours in From Software games combined this joke didn't register with me lol
  
  It's usually pressed with a move command to make you dodge roll, but if you are stationary it makes you take a step back for whatever reason.

Why X isn't dodge usually B/o?
- Dark souls isn't the only game with a dodge. In fact, in dark souls traditionally just pressing dodge will get you a back step, not a roll, so I'd argue that this isn't specifically a dark souls reference, just action RPGs in general.

- I think DS3 is X. At least one of the Dark Souls games is, I have it ingrained in my muscle memory.
  
  DS3 uses the usual souls controls
  
  Nope
  
  It's okay that it's not from dark souls. The joke still works, some games use X to dodge, and some of them include multiplayer and narrow platforms with death below.

Took me five attempts to understand this is read right to left

Not a single souls game on any platform used x to dodge
- In Japan x and o are swapped, so souls games on Japanese consoles use x
  
  When I booted up Final Fantasy VII for the first time on my PS1, I was so confused as to why I could not start a new game. I was young, but I'm pretty sure I just shrugged and put the game away for months.

Damn Fia got stacked.
