Homestar beat up Strong Bad in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. However, this cartoon has been said by The Brothers Chaps to show characters doing things they would never do in their current state, Strong Bad's dominance is probably the norm. |

+ | *Strong Bad is right-handed, but he hits Homestar with his [[Left Handedness|left hand]] (presumably so he could write in Old-English font with his right hand, so when he hit Homestar the word ''DELETED'' would not look sloppy). His off-hand punch is quite impressive, leaving us to wonder what a full-force right hook would do to Homestar. | ||
+ | **It also may be more evidence to the thought that Strong Bad could be ambidextrous. | ||

[[Wikipedia:Ground effects|Ground effects]] are parts of a car that extend to the ground, encircling the bottom of the vehicle, and they are designed to keep the airflow out from under the car and thus improve [[Wikipedia:Downforce|downforce]]. |
