This might seem a bit off-the-wall...

My friends and I spend a lot of time playing smash, and over the past year or so we've gone through every John on the map.

"I'm tired."

"My feet hurt."

"The sun's in my eyes."

"I'm hungry."

"You're Falco/DDD/Ganon (xD)."


We all agree, however, on one universally acceptable John.

COLD HANDS. Have you ever tried to grip a controller with numbly cold hands? **** sucks.

Any johns you and your cohorts find acceptable? :O

no...but I reckon I can think some up and what CAN happen for example:
"hang on...HANG ON!!! *attempts to pause* I need go go take a *bleep* in the bathroom!"
*plays till end of match and run off...*
Few moments later
*flushing sound*

I think climbing a mountain the day before is a legit John.

But seriously, the only legit Johns are for not being able to make a tourney because of work/hw/family events. Everything else is BS.

One of my circles acceptable john's is 'an equal level person using my same character could beat you with your character... jerk...' A pro-tier John when my friends beat me (with Yelly-McYellerson when I'm Marusu)... :(

Another one: I just couldn't recover, sakurai didn't give me enough encouragement.

Another one: (after losing) *throws controller across room, which pulls the wii off the base, which it hits the ground, before it hits the ground, the controller hits dash and my character trips as the wii shuts down by itself*... SAKURAIIIIII!

Other than that, nothing short Sudden Combustion.

I think the religion one is my favorite.

Also, I just realized i misspelled 'Oxymoron" in the title.

Oops.

I know of two, both of which seem to be perfectly acceptable (although the first usually starts a fight, depsite being acceptable).

1)YOU ONLY WON BECAUSE YOU USED METAKNIGHT! (I always punch the first person who says that to my friends).

2)YOU ONLY WON BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU WERE DOING TO ME DURING THE MATCH (Personal John whenever a girl uses her body to fight instead of her hands, which ends up making me die very quickly, very easily, and is an uncounterable action. Seriously, GIRLS, DON'T WEAR TANKTOPS AND SPEND THE GAME SITTING IN THE OTHER COMPEDITOR'S LAP, BRUSHING YOUR BODY AGAINST HIS! IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S VERY DISTRACTING AND MAKES IT HARD TO FOCUS! ;.; )

The only acceptable john I have ever heard was that "I suicided". It true and can't be proven wrong.

This couldnt be anymore true. It applies to all consoles though. Your hands are just so numb they react slower, I literally couldnt juggle in Tekken, miss the timing for everything. :p

I think OverSwarm was angry at Bowyer one time because Bowyer kept making up heaps of Johns, he said that it was Bowyer's fault that he had cold hands and that he should have been wearing gloves before hand to make sure that his hands are warm.

Or you could run your hands under warm water before the match. Regardless, if you fail to prevent a problem before it becomes a bigger problem, it's no one's fault but your own.

Cold hands and tripping johns are acceptable... But all those "hot girl" johns or whatever are only acceptable if youre a horny 14 year old kid, which most of you are so I guess its ok :laugh: You'll learn to have some self control when youre older

There's also another acceptable john in my opinion: "Im really really high and I thought I was playing your character." Im not making that one up xD

I live in Florida, so I don't think I've ever played with cold hands... Unless I've just been holding a drink or something similar, in which case I'd try to wipe my hands off before playing. lol

I never said I disliked losing the match for that reason.. I just dislike when people pick on me that I lost.... and that is a very legitament reason for why I lost... God, I remember playing at a Pool Party... 'nuff said.

Either:

"trip..."
or
"stage killed me/saved my opponent..." (only if it was the stage and not your opponent throwing you into a stage hazard)

only acceptable johns imo

Tbh, if your hands are cold you could have paused the game or said so before the game started.

"My controller was on fire."
"I don't have any hands."
"It was Wi-Fi."
"My girlfriend called me."
"I'm playing with my feet."
