A rant about saltiness.

[Purin a.k.a. José]

I was playing this Ganondorf. In the first two games, I got him as Kirby and every time he was trying to recover at the last stock, he would Ganoncide accidentally. The games were pretty enjoyable though. I was having fun, so I thought he was too. He changed his tag to "NO" the moment I started a new game. I kept playing, and changed mine to "YES!" as I won. He changed his tag again.
..."KILL".
What? You want to kill me because of a game?! Because I am outplaying you?! Seriously, what's up with the salt in FG?! This does not makes me angry, and I do understand that we can get mad sometimes, but this really got me thinking about how overboard can the saltiness come. Not everyone acts like that, but why do many people consider their Win-Loss Ratio like their baby?
End of rant.
Edit: looking back, it was actually hilarious!

Wanted to get out of my chest. Really unnecessary though!

Yep, so don't be surprised if this thread is closed.

I get salty but not that salty

 

[Ghidorah14]

You sure he wasnt just exaggerating for comedic effect?

Maybe
Holy thing. How I did not think about that?

 

[loud4332]

As someone that gets really salty (online only) I get that made every time I play for glory but I don't put up kill. I just turn off my wiiU after the match and go play smash 64 instead.

What if he did want to kill you? What if he wasn't a young person, but an old, experienced killer?
You better hope that Nintendo accounts are safe and secure...

This is online, so I don't think it's a big deal, it may be scary if you play by yourself and saw that tag. But since it's just online, I won't mind.

I guess. But it is the thought that I may be playing with someone who actually used to kill people is the thing that bothers me..

Again, you don't usually think about who those people are online. So you think too much, and hey, I don't even think real killers don't really spend the time to play Smash, or do they?

 

[Ravine]

IDK I have seen a video where someone got really mad at a video game and the dude went ahead and walked to his house and stabbed the person a lot. He got arrested.

I wasn't salty, just impressed that the guy overreacted like that. I get salty sometimes, but that was just immature.

 

[Dark Phazon]

I dont get why people are soo salty at this game...litrely..1 in every 2 players i face is salty
..no matter what character ypu beat them with and playing in what kinda of style..you still get hate...

 

[Tino]

The only thing that makes me salty is people spilling salt in this game just cuz they lost a match when they should be just having fun like a normal human being. I mean, if you win, good for you. But if you lose, then take it like a real man and move on. Learn things and try again. There is no reason for anyone to use the game tags to throw insults at them, even if they end up winning.

 

[Ravine]

Tino, yeah I agree

But people are very diverse creatures with a wide range of personalities. Some people have nothing to lose because they don't really care, but another bunch of people care because they want to win. Couple that with maturity levels (it's a Nintendo game after all) and you get salt.

In all, they're probably having fun too, it's just that all that fun is mixed in with fired emotions.


I love people. They're so interesting and fun to be around.
Be happy you are all alive and well! Sometimes you never know you might lose someone or if it is your last day alive...

I take every loss as a lesson, i even record matches i lose and only when i lose.

But when they leave an insulting tag its hard to not get at least alittle salty. Tonight i played FG for the first time in months since i hear the better palyers seem to play very late usually, and i had nothing planned. It was cool to find very good players, but when they just taunt three times in a row when i die and leave idiotic tags. How can I respect them or anyone that plays this? Makes me think children only play this game now.

I say i take a lesson from losses but if there was something I learned today, that is:
'Stay away from For Glory, my friends.'

I feel your pain.

Trust me.

Oh dear xD Ive read your story few days ago.Im sorry to hear. I hope its lesson learned son ^^ But i hope you find joy in the game again online in one way or another. (⌒-⌒; )

You should rename this thread to "FG Ganondorf in a nutshell"
Seeing someone changing their tag in a fit of salt over a loss is a lot more amusing to me than seeing someone brag about winning. It's really nothing to get upset about; you beat them, so revel in the glory of having (apparently) ruined their entire day simply by beating them in a Smash Bros. match.

But c'mon. You win, I applaud you. Good.

Just don't be a **** about it. Too much to ask? But I suppose it Doesn't matter, since I rarely go to FG thanks to my crew ^^

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

Looking back, that match was hilarious. The guy wasn't bad, but his saltiness made every win more rewarding. Just as acording to けいかく！^_^

 

[Swampertrulz]

A rant thread really?

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

A rant thread really?

Uhum......... I remember getting salty because somebody made the Ken Combo on me. lol

 

[Vyrnx]

Whenever I play Samus or Olimar online and camp even a little bit (I really don't play that campy in general), people really freak out. I've had TWO people change their name tags to tell me that they hope I die. I wish I knew how to report these people.

There was another time someone told me they hoped I died, but I deserved it lol. One of my friends challenged me to go on For Glory and win using only (or almost only) Rosalina's jab.

 

[link2702]

he's a ganon player

its actually pretty common for ganon players to try and "act" as if they're as "evil" as ganon in smash.

GO to the ganon boards here and you'll often see players who keep their nametags in game as death, destruction, murder, etc.

I don't know if this is true, but this is hilarious.

look at the video description for the ganon gauntlet video. it shows just which ganon players are using what nametag.

 

[Blue Warrior]

You can't really extrapolate a person's thoughts from a single word. As the above posters have said, the dorf might have just been some kid acting in character.

 

[Purin a.k.a. José]

It really makes sense, but the reason I've assumed he was salty is that he said "NO" right after I did beat him twice. And "KILL" wasn't his tag, because he was Player 2 in the first two battles. He changed to "KILL" after 3 games.
