Special Moves

Through blatent (and rather foolish) copying from others, these skills have been adapted by Ah-moe and Ah-mo as their own special moves...

Ah-moe -- Hoo Ah-moe Destroyer
A move where Ah-moe first takes out tens of toilet plungers (no one knows exactly how he could fit so many with him though). Next, he stands there for about 3 seconds, "charging", which he believes will make the plungers do more damage when thrown. Then finally, he throws out the many plungers in all directions, hoping a few will hit someone.

Ah-mo -- Ah-mo 用嘴巴 Punch
This punch is named after what Ah-mo uttered when he first tried this move (on Ah-moe, of course), which will be explained later below. The Ah-mo 用嘴巴 Punch, similar to Ah-moe's Hoo Ah-moe Destroyer, is a "charge" skill. Ah-mo stoops down and faces the floor for about 3 seconds, then rushes over to the target like a mad dog, aiming a punch at him. Like Ah-moe, Ah-mo believes that such "charging" will allow him to deal more damage with the punch.

Why would Ah-mo utter such strange words?
It was the phrase that Ah-moe was using to interrupt Ah-mo's recording when he was producing his first song album.

Ah-mo : " ... ... ... ... 我要用什么来说'爱你' ... "
Ah-moe : "Ah-mo! 用嘴巴!"
Ah-mo : "Oei!%$@$!@#! 不要吵lah! 我在record!..."
Ah-moe : "对吗... 用嘴巴!"
Ah-mo : "你走开lah!"
...

Ah-mo : " ... ... ... ... 我要用什么 ... "
Ah-moe : "用嘴巴!"
...

Ah-mo, fed up with Ah-moe's repetitive interruptions which made him record the song so many times over, aimed this punch at Ah-moe.

Eyewitnesses recall this:
"Ah-mo 用嘴巴 huh? Ah-mo 用嘴巴 huh? 死 Ah-moe... 我打死你 er!"
And with that, Ah-mo looked up from the ground and rushed over, trying to hit Ah-moe. Unfortunately for him, he didn't look at where he was running -- he crashed into a wall soon after.

But miraculously, the name stuck. And every time Ah-mo uses it, he would face the ground and say "Ah-mo 用嘴巴... Ah-mo 用嘴巴... Ah-mo 用嘴巴... Yaaaaahhhhhh!!!" and run towards his target (mostly Ah-moe). Most of the time, he will be running around in circles, not hitting anyone. That's reasonable, since you would have all the time to move away while he was looking at the floor.

At the end of the move, the confused Ah-mo usually asks this question, "Jed.. 人 leh???". Sometimes he crashes into walls and buildings; sometimes he hits someone he didn't intend to hit; sometimes, in his mad frenzy running all about, he even miraculously manages to hit the target.

That's why it is still one of the moves Ah-mo likes to use.
