Oh, my God. So, I get on Anther's last night to get some practice in. And I ask to do an endless friendly. A guy accepts by the name of Tyler. I see his profile, and I see he plays Sheik and Yoshi. So I figure, why not. I need to work on these matchups
still.
Right off the bat, I thank him for playing with me, as I usually do. And I inform him how I struggle with these matchups, because it's two characters that can outcamp me and have better frame data. He says he gets that a lot.
He then tells me that he'll only play a couple games, because he's waiting for a friend to get out of another game. So I say that's fine.
First match, he goes Yoshi. Right off the bat, his Yoshi is running away and throwing eggs. Doesn't even really attempt to combo me. Just run away, eggs. Jump, eggs. Run off the ledge, eggs. And then when I'm at kill percents, he'll run up and shield for days, and wait for me to make a mistake, and then upsmash. I lost my second stock by accidentally doing an FSmash, and he ran up and did an USmash.
It worked the first game. He won, but it was close. Second match, I goes Toon Link. At the time, I wasn't sure why, considering I thought he played Sheik as a secondary. His Toon Link was SUPER campy. But he connected combos really well. So after that match, which I did win, I complimented him and said his Tink is good. And great with combos.
Finally, the third match, he goes back to Yoshi:
After the match, he writes lol, and then says that the match was boring. And I told him that well it's hard to make it exciting when I have to chase him down the whole game. I said Mega Man is slower than Yoshi. Then he started complaining that Mega Man's lemons were essentially OP and his Metal Blade prevented him from getting in. I told him that they do such little knockback, that to a character like Yoshi, it almost doesn't matter (and if you look at the match, he even somewhat demonstrated VERY few times).
I said I have to zone a character like Yoshi out, because Yoshi can camp me hard AND combo me for days.
He then started saying that I am/was salty because I lost the first game, and was johning about accidentally doing an FSmash. I told him I wasn't Johning, and that I was clearly outplayed. But that doesn't mean I meant to do an FSmash, still. And he then started calling me salty and that I was, "lucky," for winning. He said if it wasn't for him, the last game would've gone to time. I reminded him how he was running away the entire time, which he also did with Toon Link. I had to save this match, so you can see what I meant.
Also, he taunted. At the time, I didn't know why he did, until I saw the bubble say, "LOL," or something like that. And then I realized that he was salty.
I regularly play a Yoshi, here locally, who plays similarly. He will run away and use eggs for the whole game. So I wasn't strange to it. And really, again, he outplayed me first game. So I wasn't bothered that it was his playstyle. It is, however, annoying and frustrating, but if it works, then it works.
Anyway, I just had to share this story with you guys. Usually, salty players rage quit. But he just straight tried calling me out. Hilarity!
