Okay, the kind of gang up I'm talking about is you versus two other people. Or even three. No, not the kind of gang up we see in a taunt party where only the leader fights you and if he/she gets KO'ed, two of his/her other goons take turns hitting you until he/she re-spawns. I'm talking about you being the top player of the jealous bunch winning a couple of rounds, or at least outperforming everyone else making you a threat into achieving first place.
Here's my story.
It was awhile back in the middle of summer break (this summer) and I was playing my main as Link. I hopped into a match where I fought a Kirby and two other players (forgot who they played as), and after two minutes of the round, I came in second place. The winner left. Okay, ready for the next match and after like... 45 seconds within the lobby, no one else entered. So now we're down to three people and again, I played as Link, one guy still picked Kirby, and the third guy, well, forgot who he played as.
So anyway, as I was playing, I was pretty much outperforming two of my opponents and it started out as us fighting one another. But after a few seconds into the round, all of a sudden they turned their attention towards me and focused their smash attacks, strategized, and even made several attempts of keeping me from getting back on the ledge.
Don't get me wrong, the Kirby and that one other dude took turns hitting each other (probably because you could get a ban if you repeatedly attack the same person). But that's just it, they took turns and cause enough damage up to 10% at a time while I was racking up like 70% to over 90%.
I was like "not this s*** again!" because it happened before. The thing is when I encounter something like that it does become nerve-racking because instead of playing for fun and competitively like I've always had, now, at that moment, I was playing to win and to prove myself that I'm not one to be messed with. The entire match I camped hard by the ledge, and the only time I moved if I needed to perform my aerials. Don't remember if I used the most of my projectiles, I mean, using that A button for attacks comes out a lot faster.
I think I only got KO'ed once and as soon as the match ended, I became victorious. I left after that. Don't remember if I taunted. All I cared about at the moment was making it out of there alive.
I have more stories to share, but I want to hear (more like read) your encounters. Oh, by the way, I apologize for the wall of text. I wanted to be as specific as possible.
