Do you either participate or attempt to start/end any of the various time passers in With Anyone mode? There are several, I'll list a few here, and ... yes I do partake in a few myself, though I try not to start any of them, but unfortunately that's actually difficult sometimes.
Examples:
1.) AFK Basic Brawl
This one's not bad. Basically 1 player out of 4 remains AFK. The other 3 then duke it out to see who can win. There are 2 versions of this:
a.) The AFK is fair game ... this one -can- be tough, not because the AFK is an easy KO, but b/c a good player will use the AFK character to their advantage, such as pushing them off an edge to create a guaranteed edge hog, etc. though obviously against experienced players this isn't easy to pull off or even a worthwhile strategy.
b.) The AFK is NOT fair game. You'll know right away if you've entered into this room cause the moment you bag the AFK the other two gang up on you like nobody's business. Then you have to try in vain to win a FFA in which 2 vs you and the 3rd is a sitting duck, taunting you to hit it knowing full well while you waste your frame attacking it you've been blindsided and totally thrown off position. This one is kinda boring to me cause it might as well be just a 3 man FFA, but technically the presence of the AFK does make for some interesting outcomes.
2.) Item Challenge
There are too many variations on this (infinitely, I think) but the most popular ones I've seen are things like Only Pokeballs High, Only HotHead etc. That one usually attracts falcos and pits to the arena and the damage can be ridiculous, obviously... and tough to stay in if you're not good at item handling.
3.) AFK Team Battle
This one is so annoying! lol but I like to think I'm one of the few that invented a way to entertain one's self if this happens. Normally it's temporary, I'll admit I had to start dinner one night and SO paranoid about dropping the connection and not getting it back (and loving the group I was in) just went AFK for like 3 rounds. They understood.
NEWAY
This game requires some initial understanding and participation on the other 2 people, because one is AFK, and one is you theoretically. If you are teammates, then prepared to get wasted, lol cause more than likely the other two will definitely enjoy ganging up on you and the AFK, and unless you're really good, or they suck, you'll lose.
If you're NOT teammates, now's your chance to hint at the others what to do. You Don't fight! It becomes a 1 VS 1. Now, they might try to attack you but being a 2vs1 means it's a lot less likely. Meanwhile, while your teammate and the other is brawling, you spend your time rounding up the AFK, grab him and toss him out of harm's way, etc... so long as the end result at TIME is you have a 0 score and the AFK is 0, or at the very least, your scores are nullified... you've succeeded, and the outcome is really who was better, your team mate, or the other player.
But, unfortunetly, they don't usually get the hint, lol so you may have to do it a few times. After awhile it clicks, and you get some interesting battles. You can switch off who is baby sitting the AFK etc and voila, you actually get a great 1vs1 experience in With Anyone! It's even better if you get 4 players with their items off and the stages not dumb.
4.) Button Mash
Basically 1 or more players will button mash a particular move repeatedly and in the same stage position, if possible, for the duration of the match. This essentially adds that character and their movement combos TO the stage, thus... a kirbyciding camper on the far ledge, if you go near him, duh, he'll suck you up and spit you into KO... or try anyway ^^ uh, tornado whoring meta knight, lol UP B IKE. That one's annoying. Meh, you get the idea.
5.) Taunt Party
Yes, this is a game! It's a way to pass time in With Anyone, it's exclusive to With Anyone and it's got rules, etc. First rule, have fun? Yeah. Other than that, don't attack purposefully, otherwise you're not Taunt Partying you're Brawling. play with items, make your character do crazy acrobatics fly around the stage show off your skillz after a while you may get bored and decide you really wanna show the other 3 you're the best Brawler in there. Heh, don't even waste your time, just drop out and log back in. 9 times out of 10 your next group is going to give you a good fight. Ok maybe 3 times out of 10 but who's counting.
Uh, that's all the examples I have but I'm sure there are other "Games" people play in With Anyone.
