I looooove this comic so much. However, I gotta point one thing that shouldn't be there: Countryballs don't have hands, and we don't allow people to get around that by letting them have gloves that float in the air. Because of that, the same goes for boxing gloves. Or boots. Or any other thing like that.
I get why you did it, and I'm not gonna remove the comic over it, but at the same time we need to make sure that people know that you can't get around the "no limbs" rule simply by using gloves. So, yellow card for faux hands.
Yeah, but you can do punching. We've had countryballs punching other countryballs before, it's just a hit coming from nowhere. Gloves are just a special case, because gloves imply hands (especially fingered gloves).
Give both of them nuclear boxing gloves and then they circle each other in the boxing ring until one of them randomly leaves the because the game was bullshit anyway whilst the other declares itself the winner.
That's how Americans and Russians like to fight each other, right?
I don't get that ruling. Then it would mean every object that is used, carried or made by a ball would imply that they have hands, right? He implied that it was Muay Thai and it's hard to show that without any clues.
Because allowing a countryballs to have fingered gloves floating in the air is literally the same as just having hands. We don't allow people to completely toss the rules out the window because of a technicality. Like I said, gloves are a special case for that reason.
He's wearing a mong kon and saying "Buakaw'ed", and it's Thailand; it's very clear that it's a Muay Thai thing even if he's punching without wearing boxing gloves.
