Its a bit annoying that the input locks when you've been hit. You keep typing and even though you spell it correctly you're later in the word so its marked as wrong.
I guess that edges it a bit closer to a fighting game than 'just' a typing game, in that you want to exploit and opening and not just mash attacks. ;)

But it also seems to disadvantage the 'easy' characters with short words a lot more since they have to wait for a new word a lot more often, giving the opponent more time to start locking your input again.

I might be overthinking this. ;)

I have never commented on a single HN story, and mostly stick to reading. I wanted to say that this is one of the absolute funniest comments I have ever read on this web site. Good job, sir.

this hits me right in the nostalgia-feels. great approach to a typing tutor!
how do you unlock elmo? i beat the game once but elmo is still locked.
The game needs to be ported to TCL to unlock Elmo.

Cheat code: Just hold the first letter of your word.
Buffering input commands? This is a deeper fighting engine than I would've assumed!
Not showing anything here, Firefox 27 Linux
Finally, a fighting game that doesn't suck using a keyboard. Would be great if there was a way to crossup and knockdown.
wow very neat! Great job!
Cease & Desist in three... two... one...
It froze right as I was defeating the first character.
I think you have a hit here..
