78) The one game you pull a lightsaber AND a bobomb on consecutive lives with peach is the one game your opponent capes a lightsaber and a bobomb into your face on consecutive lives while trying to recover
(who the hell throws a lightsaber? This actually happened between two people in my school)

79) When you see your opponent charging a forward smash you will always be hit by it when it is fully charged and as you try to run in and grab.

81) Any time you drop your Smash disc, it will ALWAYS land shiny side down.
82) (maybe not applicable in this case, but) Any time you think that the mods will have a sense of humor and not close your thread, they will close it.

83) The longer the combo you are doing, the more odds you will miss the finishing blow.

84) If you play really good in friendlies before the tournament, you will **** it up in the tournament.
85) If you can beat a player all the time with one stock left, he'll beat you with one stock in the tournament.
86) When you use counter at the right moment, your opponent will accidentely miss.

So true, yet so gay.

66) The only time you decide to bombjump back at YS, the first bomb gets stuck on top of the cloud, causing the most unexpected death.

96) No matter how hard you try, that 8-year-old pro will kick your ***.
97) The chance of you not getting hit by a Ganon's warlock punch is directly proportional to the chance of a heart falling on your head during a no items match.
98) DI will always fail after getting hit by said punch.
99) The chance of a Top Pro level player dropping by to do doubles with you is directly proportional to the chance you beating Ken
100(yes!)) Your warlock punch will never hit while his always will.

104) The chances your opponent has to kill you is proportional to the amount of stock you have away from him
105) As the number of successful bomb jumps increases , you are likely to miss your grapple beam into an airdodge to death

107) If running up to punish an u-tilting ganon from the back, you will get hit.
108) Just when you think you're winning, your teammate confuses you for the opponent.
109) The one time you manage to rest a superior player, it happens to be over a chasm.
110) The flashiest combos are always accidental, and occur in friendlies only.

...also, has anyone ever heard of the Corollary to Murphy's Law?

About Murphy, the corollary says the following:
"Murphy was an optimist."

111) When u play a new, really predictable player who just spams fsmash, they somehow mess up and use usmash instead. You were expecting to block an fsmash, but u see the usmash and lower your shield to strike, only to get fsmashed.

112) Whenever u wavedash backwards to avoid Marth's attacks, u make a slight misjudgement and end up getting hit by the sweet spot of the sword.

113) If you smashed your opponent off Termina Bay to the right, the turtle will just happen to rise up after he was already submerged in the water. Inversely, as you are attempting to come back from the right side, the turtle will sink. ALWAYS!

All i can do is laugh at that one

101) If you are spamming one attack in the 15 minute melee, you will always hit a bomb within the last 30 seconds.

115) The one time you use Counter is the one time your opponent's attack will miss.

116) The only time you misfire with Luigi is when it will result in your death.

I thought that one would have been said by now. ^_^

117) The number of needles your opponent has stored is directly proportionate to how close you are to the stage.

118) the number of times you edgetech is inversely proportionate to the importance of the match.

119) The distance you are from Marth is equal to his Fsmash tipper range.

120) If you are a Falco facing a Marth, the chances of picking FD randomly go up 43%

121) The likelihood of you crouch cancelling a peach's downsmash is inversly proportionate to your percent.

122) You will beat someone in a friendly, LOSE to them in pools, and then win afterwards in another friendly.

125) No matter how good you are at this in practice, the one time you will manage to walltech Marth's up B in game is the one time you will walltech walljump, leaving you with such a bitter sweet taste in your mouth as you watch your character fall to his death.

126) Your tech skill at that moment becomes is inversely proportional to the skill of your noob friend who thinks L-cancelling and wavedashing are useless.

127) Although you know rolling is a bad habit, and used to get punished for it back in your noob days, you can't seem to do anything about it when your skeptical noob friends ask you whats so bad about rolling.

128) Ridiculous spamming of a move that should never work always seems to thwart the most advanced opponents techniques, but only in the hands of a noob.

129) The only way to fight noob spam is with more noob spam.

130) Everyone who has any moral objections toward a "cheap" technique will eventually fall prey to heavily using so called "cheap" techniques in the future.

132) When you counter with Marth or Roy, your opponent will miss the button they planned to use to attack you.

133) If your throw will KO, you will accidentally throw the wrong direction.

134) The likelihood that you will DI an attack down when you meant to sidestep is inversely proportional to the number of stocks you have, and directly proportional to your percent.

135) You will always forget to counterpick a level that would help you win when it truly counts.

136) The likelihood of you self-destructing is directly proportional to the number of stocks you are making a come back from.

137) If you attempt to perfectly space a move against an immobile opponent, the character's standing animation will move him just beyond range of your move.

:D
