Miss Messages
Before an update on September 5, 2012 removed the ability to miss with normal attacks, missing while attacking unarmed with Kung Fu Hustler gave one of the following messages:
- You try to unleash an Unpleasant Dolphin Kneeblast, but your knee demands fish before it performs.
- You attempt a Dragon Kidney Kick, but your chi is unfocused, and it turns into a Bunny Tickle Happy.
- You try to give it the Thousand Hand Slap, but end up furiously waving at it from a few feet away.
- You do a roundhouse kick, but get winded halfway through. Maybe you've eaten too many trollhouse cookies.
- You try to harness your chi, but end up harnessing some chai instead. It's delicious, but not useful in a fight.
- You try to launch a flying kick, but it gets grounded due to weather conditions.
- You try to do a Drunken Monkey Lotus Slap, but can only manage to stagger around going "ook."
- You throw a couple of karate chops, but your skill is too choppy to allow them to connect, so not one chop sticks.
- You attempt the dreaded Lenticular Python Chop, but can only manage a pork chop, which is delicious, but not at all dangerous.
- You try for a Bipolar Tiger Elbow, but you're just too depressed to pull it off.
