Messages

When blocking:

• The radio at your side screeches out a long list of "environmental sins," running the gamut from not recycling dental floss to washing clothes before they've been worn at least five times. Your opponent becomes overcome with guilt and pauses to wallow in it.
• The radio at your side bursts into a particularly shrill diatribe about the dire ecological effects of litter. Your opponent, who was about to litter the streets with your remains, pulls back to avoid the embarrassment.

Otherwise:

• The radio at your side broadcasts some sort of tangent, but you and your opponent are too busy fighting to notice.
• The radio at your side sees a TV and hides behind you instead.

If you have a sidekick that already blocks attacks then:

• The radio at your side sulks at being made to play second fiddle to your sidekick.

Notes

• Block rate is about (17.9% ± 2%).

References

• The second failed block message possibly refers to the song "Video Killed the Radio Star".
