At some point, the subscreen will be customizable (this is quite a ways off, however), so you would, at that time, be able to space the items out so the boots (or any other item) don't leave a big hole if you don't use them. As for nobootdamage combos, I guess I could put that in the next beta if everyone really needs it. What strengths do we need? Same as we have now (1/2, 1, 2, and 4) and maybe an 8 for good luck?
