Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
FIRST PANEL
1: This week's crewmate is visible in Guile's dogtags! Good catch, Generic Hero.
2: A Hand (I think that must be a Master Hand, but it depends on how you interpret the silhouette) is playing the gotcha game again, right underneath the word SMACK and Galeem's wing. He got ya, Brandon Digwood.
SECOND PANEL
3: Galeem blocks the way to Mario with one of his wings. Among the "fighters" trying to squeeze through the narrow openings is Balthazar, as noticed by Nova_Cat59.
4: ..and a bit to the left of him is Spanky! He could easily break through, he's just holding back. Nothing can stop Spanky.
THIRD PANEL
5: And in this panel, we switch perspective to see Miep try to reach Mario as well! Glad you noticed her, Calvin Barbanell!
FOURTH PANEL
6: In the "SLASH" panel, I've added the iconic black lightning from Smash, that indicates a hit will cause a K.O. I've done this multiple times throughout this comic series and I'm glad I got a final chance to do put it in.
FIFTH PANEL
7: Sephiroth cuts Galeem in half... again! Which is a reference to his reveal trailer (found by Cameron Devera).
8:...Which means he will now have two cutting lines that will have to be patched up (assuming he's still alive that is). Correct, Tolis.
SEVENTH PANEL
9: This week, the ζ« kanji is visible on Cloud's belt buckle thingy.
10: The obscure retro character of the week is a girl called Nicole from the Sega Saturn game "Guardian Heroes". She's the pink-haired character to the right of this panel.
11: And this week's loss is visible on her hat, as found by Spirit of Gotham!
Details that have not been found are marked italic.

Tabuu references Marioβs Boxing Ring title, Mr. Video Game Himself

I think all the characters fighting Tabuu and Galeem in panel one are all assist trophies in Smash.

The way Sephiroth is standing after slicing Tabuu and Galeem looks like a reference to one of his victory screens in Ultimate
