Have you ever had the honor of playing Orion

He's so good against ZSS that it actually terrifies me at times.
The thing is that I think you can do the same thing to other characters with ZSS if you have like perfect fingers and inhuman reaction speeds. We just don't have a guy like that playing ZSS.

It definitely isn't me. My reaction time is booty.

I think ZSS' biggest problem as a character is that you can wait and react to almost anything she does, so a ton of your game is just tricking people into thinking you're going to do something and then not doing it. In a way, it's like Wario, except Wario is a lot more flexible. To people who don't analyze things critically this makes it seem like she has a powershielding/shielding weakness, but that isnt' it, because everyone shares this weakness. The issue is that she has to commit once she's started to do something. For someone like MK this is really bad, but not that bad, and if you played MK enough and reacted fast enough you'd do a lot of stupid **** to him too (I've seen it with Snakeee/Shadow).

No, ZSS has a powershielding weakness.

Orion has even started PSing my charged dsmashes consistently by shielding when he sees the animation for the charge start.

5 frames is gross?

4 frames is gross?

I don't know if ZSS is different in NTSC Brawl, but in Australia that's pretty ****ing fast.

Name a single attack that you use at range that doesnt have startup time.

Her jab and utilt are fast, but if they shield utilt they can smash you for it, and jab is a frametrap against YOU on a lot of the cast.

theres this thing called spacing......
And ZSS's spacing moves are the ones with the startup.

It's OK if you think I'm wrong - I'm not - It'll just be your loss when playing the character against anybody with a brain.

Double down is so amazingly death.

I've had 2 before, and both of the times I ate it, my chest started to tighten up a bit right after I finished.

You wont die unless you have really high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

I dont even get the sauce on it (because I hate mayo) so I wont kill me unless I eat like 7 in a row.

Red lobster's biscuits are top tier, so are popeyes biscuits. Mmm.

The problem with popeyes is that I want to eat there, but they are all in terrible neighborhoods here, and I don't want to get stabbed. :(

Edit: loli I will be on aim tonight, so send your pic to be shopped.

"here"

Popeyes is essentially only in malls and bad neighborhoods. It's one of those inner-city chains that sells a lot of food that's really bad for you for not much money.

That's actually one of the reasons obesity is so common among people ator below the poverty line!

Sorry, malls, bad neighborhoods, and cities.

Thing is, congested areas can have middle-class residences and then poverty line residences really close together. This is definitely the case where I live right now.

You kids and your unhealthy eating habits with the McDonald's and the KFC and the Popeyes...

I'm starting to stop eating unhealthy junk like hamburgers and stuff. I think I'm getting fat... :(

But I still want Red Lobster right now...
