And you would be one to talk about running away and luering? All I've ever seen you do is run away and spam most of your matches against kirbykid.....
What!? I almost never run away from him. my whole game is always approaching him. then he gets to close to the edge just the way he wants. Ohhhhh noooo. no sir. He, on the way, back airs like crazy. My counterpicks are fd and any flat stage. his always consist of platforms. makes for a better evasion (running away). Thats ALL he did at evo anywho.

Well, to be fair, FD is just not a fair stage for Kirby. Not because Kirby can't run away, but because since Kirby has absolutely zero horizontal and vertical speed, he can't use platforms to speed up his movement to approach. He certain can rarely beat any peach player that throws lots of turnips cuz he can't do much against it. Let's be honest here, Kirby isn't gonna run away from Fox/Falco/Falcon/Sheik/Marth on any stage.

If FD is just not fair for kirby I think that maybe he'd be banning it, at least against a peach. And I don't know how anyone could say that Smiles just runs away and spams. He is the least campy peach I've ever seen. All he does is attack and stay in your face just playing really aggressive. The times I have seen him play defensive he's still right next to you just a safe enough distance to bait an attack and capitalize. But I didn't see the matches so I don't know but I'd be really suprised to ever see him run away and just spam turnips.

Well, I'm not saying smiles camps. I'm just saying that a Peach can do whatever he wants since a full jump turnip throw into a float cancel aerial pretty much shuts off everything kirby can do on FD since there are no platforms to jump onto, and it gets even harder when the Peach player throws more turnips than usual which makes the aerials even harder to predict. What makes it even harder is that Kirby's air game gets shut down by the aerial priority queen in Peach with only bairs as a decent option.

And apparently, level striking wasn't allowed in some of the tournies they were at? Iono, that's what KirbyKid said.

rules say youre not allowed to strike random stages any ways. So it would be impossible to ban FD. Unless the tourney had some wack ruleset.

Smiles camping?

Uhm, when Kirby goes to the edge, you HAVE to camp. Why the hell would you just walk up to him and try to attack unless you wanted to lose a stock regardless of %? That's stupid. Hell, when I fought Kirby Kid at DaBR3, as soon as he ran to the edge, I sat in place and pulled turnips all over his ***, because I can outcamp him. You get what you give, you know?

I don't care that or if you camp really because that's completely understandable. Everyone does it at one point or another. What bugs me is you complaining about how kirbykid plays because you do the same thing to him. Oh all he did was run to the edge and try to luer me there, well what did you do when he did that? If you are doing what you've agreed with xelic saying then you are standing far away throwing turnips, and what is that? Right, running to a place where you're at an advantage and "luering" him to you by throwing projectiles. The same strategy you were just complaining about.

The reason he picks levels with platforms is easy, and is definitely not to run away. He picks them because, in addition to what Chang has explained, the platforms also give him another option when in this semi-stalemate of run to your place of advantage and luer strategy. I say semi because kirby will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to projectiles since he doesn't have any. Anyway, these platforms give him the ability to atleast have some way to avoid the projectiles and come to you and once again try to get you to the edge, his point of advantage. I mean you already know this Smiles you even said it yourself, though it was accompanied by the unnecessary (running away) comment.

im sure on fd and someone is being spammed with projectiles you can just get on the edge and keep your invincible frames.

yea, this is silly.

smiles and kirbykid are both very good players.

and I'm pretty sure neither of you really have anything against each other

this whole "fight" started with a misunderstanding.

so whatdya say we end it? :)

Soy chocolate milk ***** regular dairy chocolate milk because you don't get that "I'm drinking concentrated fat" feeling. Chocolate milk in general sucks. Regular milk owns, it's sleek and tasty (skim), though it can get gross by itself.
All in all, milk with cereal is the best. Though cheerios and orange juice is surprisingly amazing.

chocolate milk has blood in it, caused by overuse of a cow's udders.
Actually, milk has pus in it, not blood. The cows are milked by machines that have one udder in each "claw", and these "claws" are constantly moving up and down to extract milk when the "farmers" decide it's milking time. The constant movement forms blisters on the cows udders because of the constant udder-irritation. These blisters are not noticed and are not given time to heal properly because that would waste the "farmers" money, so the cow is continuously milked and the blisters pop, pouring the pus into the milk. I'm sure after a long enough time the cow's blood could enter the milk through more irritation, but that's more noticeable than milk-coloured pus. Also, chocolate milk doesn't come from chocolate cows, so how would chocolate milk have blood and not regular milk? Because it's dark and the blood is overwhelmed by the brown colour? It's white first, someone would notice.


Vegan friends rawk, don't they?

You wouldn't notice the blood/pus that much if you shake up the bottle like the commercials suggest, eh? I see it as a step-by-step process:

Milk cows until they get pus-filled blisters, etc.

Afterwards, keep on milking, but switch over to Chocolate/Strawberry-flavored milk. Crank out a few commercials that say "shake stuff up," and ya can't tell all that well :D

After seeing blood in milk, I have realized that yes, yes you would notice it whether shaken or not.

As for chocolate or strawberry: it does not come out that color in the "farms", so it would be noticeable to "farmers". They would be kind enough to not use that milk... I hope.


Also: I shake everything before I drink it. Ever.
