I don't expect any of you to really understand the personal significance of my little photoshopped image there....just know that it took two hours of staring at it with hesitation for me to come up with the gall to actually post it.
I'm not sure I fully understand it from your perspective, but I know I've had my own struggles with my character... especially as of late.
As you well know, Kirby is currently the third lowest on the tier list, yet is often proclaimed as worst in the game. As it would seem, people who play the worst character are, apparently, inferior, and I've often been flamed simply becasue of who I play, even when we aren't discussing characters. I remember an old topic about wavedash uses, and I was told my opinion was wrong simply because I play Kirby.
Because of my troubled childhood, I find it hard to simply ignore statements like this, and I often spend times thinking about it to myself, debating giving up smash [Seriously debating it], or dropping Kirby. On occasion I do want to drop him, but I feel that would be 'giving in' to their demands, those, pardon my frrench, *******s that roam this site. Levi, I'm sure you've noticed there are times when I play Kirby a lot, and times when I rarely play him. These are those cycles at work. If you've wondered why I still main Kirby, it's my stubbornness, as well as my determination. I want to be good with him, why? I enjoy him, and I feel a need to prove 'them' wrong, even though I fully know it's impossible to do so.
Randall, I know this isn't close to what you're feeling, but I think it's good to know you aren't the only one who often feels, i'm not sure of what word to use, but 'confused' about this game, and it's community. I think that it's best to give Luigi a rest and come back to him. As the old saying goes, 'absense makes the heart grow fonder', which I think is what you're trying to get at, no? Also, this time with Young Link could make him into a viable option for when you're playing Luigi's counters, unless they're the same for both characters.
