Ah, but the game is still competitive on an open list. So what is wrong with it? Again: you abuse your character AND stage, or you just abuse your character. More options makes for a deeper, and thus ultimately a more competitive game. And I'd still like to see some vids regarding Norfair's "circle". And Norfair, with the exception of the plumes, gives you a CRAPLOAD of warning (for the walls, it's a rumbling, followed by a camera movement towards the side the wall is coming from) which gives you plenty of time to get to a safer area or better yet, outplay your opponent into the lava. And you don't have to approach with the walls at least, it's possible to powershield the lava repeatedly and camp inside it (Marths and Ikes do it with counter all the time). But of course, the Kirby didn't know that, and so he lost.
@jowii: Or you could, you know, refute what we have to say instead of trolling and raging?
