Johning is the single most important part of playing Smash. You should have johns ready at all times. These are just some examples of useful johns for Lucas. Post your own!

Standard Lucas Johns

"Marth is gay."

"Metaknight is gay."

"Game and Watch is gay."

"I can't believe I messed up that zap jump AGAIN!!" (throws controller)

"Lucas sucks on Wifi" (lol)

"If characters were true to their original games Lucas would be top tier!!" (rant about Mother 3)

"(obscure reference to Mother 3 that no one but Ness and Lucas players understand)"

The Mew2King John
"My controller was broken."

The John McCain Counterpick John
(after switching to a secondary to fight a bad matchup and getting *****)
"Choosing (insert character here) seemed like such a good idea at the time..."

I usually use the old

"GG you beat my bottom tier character with a top teir character"

XD
DUUUUUUDE
where the heck hav u been?!?!

why do ppl call exuses johns?>
there was this guy named john who would always make excuses about losing
some of them were "my hands were cold" or "i wasnt trying"
hence, excuses came to be called johns. i saw a video of gimpy and hugs talking about it

"I wasnt using Claus"

Failed Zap Jumps and screwy specials are the order of the day for me. When I'm playing a few rounds of Smash, odds are you'll hear me say "Fire, not Freeze you idiot!" at least once.

Also "Where was my second jump?!" Actually happened, I had tap jump on without realizing it and used my second jump without realizing it every time I used a uair.

My friend thinks it's cheap that PK Thunder doesn't stop when it hits him. ^_^

I'm not even kidding when I say I use it often. Caused me two deaths out of a three stock match once. First time I thought it was a fluke, second time I realized "WTF tap jump is on."

I pretty much complain about tap jump being on, because wifi sometimes makes a utilt into an upsmash. BIG DIFFERENCE. That can seriously ruin a match if it gets close, or it can ruin your chances. Ugh. I hate tap jump.

Zap Jump I've given up on for now... I've phailed at it too much and sometimes it just seems odd.

I've become pretty fluent in zap jumping that's it's worth using as a recovery method now.

Sorry, zap jump decided to take my second jump but not actually propel me anywhere.

one day, i'll be using wave zap everytime instead of zap jump!
Word. I almost always wavezap.


Best Johns...

"Wrong control scheme"

"I wasn't Jigglypuff... where were my infinite jumps?"

"I need more coffee"

"I was distracted by all the fail"

"Pk-freeze, I hate you so much."

lol "I forgot I can't wavedash" is my favorite john.

Oh and I actually created this thread just to make fun of the way Lucas players, myself included, john. You'll hear me say that Marth, MK, Snake, Game and Watch, and Falco are gay atleast 10 times at every tournament I attend...even when I win.

And I think it's hilarious how obsessed Lucas players tend to be with Mother 3 when I've never played the game and know absolutely nothing about it. In fact, I've never played any of the Earthbound series.

Also everyone should take every opportunity that they can to make fun of M2K so that he doesn't get a huge ego and end up like Ken.
