Disclaimer: I don't mean all Project M/melee players, as I play those as well and have friends that do to that don't mind Brawl. I just mean a certain type.
I mean, I have always seen Brawl as more of a party game. Turn the items on, grab three friends, and let the hilarity ensue on a random board for hours.
But yesterday we had a group of people playing, mostly strangers. It was on the Wii U so they couldn't plug their gamecube controllers in, which they seemed irritable about. So we started playing, and this one guy kept ignoring all the items, grabbing and only using his A button.
He completely killed all the fun in the room by ripping on the game. He went to finish me at one point and I tripped and avoided his attack. It was perfect randomly and I thought it was funny.
Anyway, the match ended and he threw his controller down and just walked out of the room, muttering, "No skill whatsoever."
I just couldn't understand why he would get so frustrated over something that was obviously just to have fun. There is a time for 1 vs. 1 Fox on final destination and I time for fun with friends.
Plus, if there was no skill involved, how come he didn't randomly win sometimes but was the first to die every time?
