Link to original post: [drupal=2820]So I was playing Brawl and Johns showed up. >_> (Absurd John Story)[/drupal]
Ugh, so I play Brawl at my school's gaming club, I usually bring my Wii in every Monday for a few hours and a bunch of us take turns playing free for alls and the 4th place finisher gives up their controller to someone else. So today, my fellow gaming club members were being really John-y. It was terrible.
So someone else brought in their Wii today, and had everyone except Toon Link and Wolf (my main) unlocked, so I thought "fair enough" and used my secondaries Snake and Pikachu and pretty much dominated everyone there. We play 3 stock matches and I usually come in first with 1 or 2 stocks remaining and 5-8 KOs 95% of the time. These people aren't too talented. They're way too offensive, spam smashes too much, and never shield...just roll. Intermediate players, to say the least. But they are still cool people and I'm sure they can learn Smash if they put their minds to it. And the same thing pretty much happened today.
There has always been this one guy in particular that plays that has kind of irked me each time we play. He always encourages other people to "Go for Louis! It's the only way we all have a chance of winning!" or "The Rat (Pikachu) is so annoying/broken" or when I use Pikachu's quick-attack jump cancel to get across the stage: "Way to spam just one move." I'm always the target of his Johns and his excuse for everyone else losing. I never thought anything of it and just kind of laughed it off until today.
So today, I could tell he wasn't being sarcastic and was being totally serious. So with Pikachu, I used my edgeguard of rushing off the stage, using thunder, and upB'ing to grab the ledge so that they wouldn't be able to recover so easily. After a few times of getting caught in this same trap, he gives me the finger and says something like "What a **** move, sir."
I respond calmly (and to get back at him) by going off the edge myself and explaining to everyone how to get around it. I recover low and tell everyone to wait for the thunder to disappear and don't try to get back on the stage too quickly or predictably.
So then in another match, someone was a Charizard with me as Pikachu again. We both had 1 stock each. I started to do the chaingrab, and he was like "Hey, hey, whoa, whoa!" and I looked at him behind me and asked "What's wrong?" The same guy who gave me the finger told me "Chaingrabbing is a **** move, and we can kick you out of play if we want." and later said "Louis is never fun to play with because he always wins."
By that time, it was time for me to go to class and I just told the guy who gave me the finger, "I'm just going to tell you right now that you're no fun to play against at all." and left. He responded with "I was going to say the same thing to you." In my head, I wanted to give him the bird back, but didn't. Such a poor sport. If he wants me to lose, he should play more and do something about it, rather than wishing I wasn't there. If it weren't for me, Brawl wouldn't even be popular in our gaming club.
Sometimes I hate being so good at this game...but why play at less than my best? What's the point? People just need to think more during the match...or learn the game. Or I should just move to another region of Brawl (Like Ann Arbor)...or find the good players who can take a loss and congratulated me after our matches in our recent local tournament.
So that's my John story of the day. Thoughts? Anyone have any worse Johns than the John I talked about?
