Have you ever met an annoying runner in For Glory?

Now when I say annoying, I'm not talking about when a character is being annoying like Link players only using projectiles but when someone actively runs away from you during a fight like a Jigglypuff floating to the opposite ledge from under the stage or a Fox that's only running back and forth trying to avoid your attacks? Really, any match where your opponent only ran away from any confrontation with you and didn't try to fight back.

I played someone who went Meta Knight and kept flying away from me and grabbing the ledge, then hopped up on stage and did the same thing for the entire match. It doesn't help that you can't leave a match without receiving a time penalty.

They can only have ledge invincibility once after they Regrab you can just punish with a spike

I remember fighting a Sheik on omega Nintendogs - because it's a pillar stage, they were able to stick to the wall and stay down there, refreshing by coming up to the ledge and then immediately back down to the wall. Whenever I approached, they attempted to punish, then retreated back to the wall / ran over to the other wall if that was safer.

So I stayed near the edge and waited to see how long they would do it, and it ended up being like 4 minutes before I just went down and gimped them. I'm guessing they were trying to run the timer and then win sudden death?

By this I think of people who don't even shield or air dodge on FG but instead try to run from you due to lack of knowledge of tg block button. I hate this too, I usually have to spam projectiles twice s much as I normally do to cover the whole area (as Villager). Then with the Shiek who sticks to wall all the time, I'm glad I main Villager because bowling ball exists. I've only seen one shiek actually attempt to do that to me.

I played a Kirby who did this, He would start the match normally but retreat to the ledge when he began losing. He would then Final Cutter/Inhale to attempt a Kirbycide when I got close. All I did was use the can as Duck Hunt and punish his jumps since dtilt and ftilt can't seem to hit Kirby's hand while he's on the ledge.

Afterward I switched to Kirby myself (Who I never play, like ever.) and he actually started to fight. I think he was baiting for a ditto.

I met a Jigglypuff who would jump in the air to escape my projectiles but for some reason this guy forgot Jigglypuff only had 6 jumps, so I just punished him when he fell down haha

Some Kirby user on teams stalled on the ledge trying to Kirbycide. His partner kept getting in the way. Then another person started trying to Kirbycide on the ledge on the same team. A match like that would make ChuDat proud.:troll:
The only other time was a Villager who was spaming on the ledge. It was 1vs1vs1vs1 match and I was the only one who cared. Of course I had to be using Robin(A character I don't pick to often.) The sudden death was glorious though. He just stood there waiting for me to shoot thoron. Some how I won?:drshrug:
I don't remember their names and one had an inappropriate looking tagname.
