Don't call it "Experimenting with dumb things," call it "Playing to learn." Sounds more encouraging so more people will try itWithout people experimenting with dumb things, the game would never advance.
As for the problem the ZSS board seems to have with new ZSS hopefuls, that's for another time and another thread. Not this one.
I second Kirby and Pikachu, but it looks like my Main/Secondary hierarchy is falling apart altogether. I'll probably still end up using ZSS as a secondary at the very least, to cover matchups I'm still learning as my new main, or Snake. I really like ZSS vs Snake >_>
