Is the DK suicide OK?


I have no nipples!
Any experienced Smash player knows of the Donkey Kong suicide.  That's where DK grabs his opponent and carries the flailing, helpless creature over the edge of the map in a straight descent to hell.  DK usually performs this move when any one of the following conditions are met:
a) He has more lives than his opponent in a two-player match
b) He has significantly more damage than his opponent at the time of the suicide
c) He is feeling like a douche

The DK suicide is a very effective way for killing an enemy, provided that the grab occurs near the ledge.  If the grab is made too far away from the ledge, the other character can squirm away and save himself before DK falls to the bottom of the map.  A fun variation of the DK Suicide is the DK Suicide-Not!, in which DK grabs an opponent on the DK level and falls into the barrel below, leaving the opponent to continue falling to his doom.  Successful executions of the DK Suicide-Not! must be followed by excessive "OOOOOOHHH!!"ing and optional orgasm noises.

DK has been committing murder-suicide for years, but lately his tactics are being called into question.  The UN had this to say about the DK suicide: "The United Nations condemns suicide attacks in all its forms, whether it's committed by radical Islamic terrorists or by a naked gorilla wearing an unnecessary tie."  DK offered this in response: "Eeerggh" followed by a shrug of the shoulders.  The intellectual debate continues.

I feel I am qualified to weigh in on the matter, seeing as how I personally have sent dozens of Donkey Kongs to their death clutching a helpless, usually undamaged victim.  The Donkey Kong suicide is part of the game, and should be frowned upon no more than my own hygiene habits.

If DK wants to kill himself, he should be allowed to.  That's why we have youth in Asia.  And if he takes someone down with him, then good for him!  He's accomplished the main goal of the game!  I would allow myself to be carried off a cliff by DK (of course, I would have the skills to squirm away and leap back to safety), so I wouldn't expect anything less than any other Smash characters.  Super Smash Bros. is not for children, and if anyone has a problem with it, then they shouldn't be playing!  It is a tough, bloody, Yoshi-eats-anything world and there is no room for pussies.  Except Samus.  And arguably Jigglypuff.


This week's trivia question is a doozie.  I encourage you all to vote for one of the options that doesn't say "Go Fuck Yourself."

Coming up next: An in-depth study of the rapidly fluctuating head sizes of each of the Smash characters.  Mario and Yoshi will surprise you!

This is Master Left Hand, and this is your face, and this is Master Left Hand shoving Smash knowledge down your throat, and this is you performing fellatio on Master Left Hand's middle finger in gratitude.  And this is Master Left Hand liking it.  Peace.
