Exploiting that seems generally accepted in-game, by the best players that have been around and has become part of the gameplay as a positive addition.The rules allow exploiting. You defend such rules. You're stupid. It's really that simple, and your pathetic attempts to justify those rules by bringing up ridiculous arguments don't do you any favor.
The arguments are ridiculous in your eyes, that's cool - you are entitled to have your fervent views on the matter. Using all of these abject words doesn't strengthen your case. I don't see why you have to argue in that tone..
If you're low ki, you will lose your momentum coz you have to charge more than you hit.You dont need a full bar to do ceilling hits, you can start off with less than that and charge inbetween.
I can understand not fighting near walls but avoiding ceilling hits when the height of the map is super small and 1 punch from below can make you bounce off of it when your 2/3 from the ground is almost impossible, especially when you cannot be near the ground as well because you can get roll hit and lose 80% of your hp.
There might be skill in doing it, but theres no skill in "baiting" people into it whatsoever and it doesnt even make sense, oh you managed to hit and outplay your opponent 5 or 6 times ? too bad you are 10 feet away from the ceilling and you died, better luck next time.
And of course it makes sense to bait people, you bait people into stuff in most games. In fact most of ESF dueling is baiting - You bait them to swoop straight at you or to be in one position so you can angle that position, you bait them to attack, you "fake attack" to make them counter an attack that's never happened to counter that attack. ESF is a big mind game and baiting is a crucial part of dueling.
Anyway gentlemen, it appears as we've reached an impasse. Out of courtesy I'd recommend we either continue in PMs or just leave it.

TL; DR
Some peeps seem to think ceiling hits are stupid because you cannot recover from it and it wasn't the developers' intention to let it happen.
Alex, Tiny (?) and I think it's cool because it's become part of the ESF meta and part of dueling, and that it should be punishable to be caught out in your own mistakes. And like many other things that probably weren't the developers' intention it's grown to be part of the game and the community.
