NAWBALL Fight Club, or NBFC for short, is a series of casual Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online matches organized by Aubz with an emergent storyline. It started in February 2022 and lasted until March 2022 before going on hiatus, and is the precursor to Amiibrawl. It's somewhat of an AU of CPU Kerfuffle by Jenny Chongoshow, with a few fighters from CPU Kerfuffle being major characters in NBFC, but otherwise has become its own beast.

NBFC stars the original versions of Felin and Aegis, Spark, Brooke, and Ash (with cameos from Aubz as herself) as they fight and befriend various characters from CPU Kerfuffle such as Larry the Florida Man, Hackerman J0hn, and (regrettably) Elijah Wood. Original characters would later be introduced - this is the origin of the Figureheads Cinnabar, Citrine, and Copper, as well as fan-favorite side character Leadboy. Also in the mix is CPU Kerfuffle antagonist Prism, who is intrigued by the properties of the pocket dimension NBFC takes place in.

Because of CPUs not being available in battle arenas, Aubz's workaround to include the CPU Kerfuffle crew was to make Amiibos of them to throw into the arena. The various shenanigans that ensued became the basis of Amiibrawl! Many elements from NBFC carried over to Amiibrawl, like the pocket dimensions being in Space Florida, the Figureheads, the worldbuilding around FPs, and various inside jokes. The Amiibrawl setting can be considered a soft reboot of NBFC without the CPU Kerfuffle elements and with the player fighters now being commentators.

It has 13 and a half episodes and two noncanon Gaidens - Gaiden 1 was unrecorded and treated as a dream, while Gaiden 2 is part of the transition into Amiibrawl and is dubiously canon to both. All of NBFC's story was done in Discord text chat and therefore isn't in video form (although VODs of some of the matches themselves exist), but the entire series has been compiled into transcripts for ease of access.
