Is it bad that I always win and leave?

[Clemente]

Is it considered uncouth to win and leave immediately after winning in For Glory mode?

I have about 200 victories and every time I left immediately after winning. I never figured that some people stay and do multiple matches with the same person.

 

[SevenYearItch]

Yes. I personally hate that, and hate you by extension. I usually play 3-4 in a row with someone even if they beat me just so I can learn the matchup for later. Likewise, when I win I want to see how the other person learned or if they switch characters to give me a new look. Should always stay for 3 matches I'd say unless you're leaving or actually can't.

 

[Deleted member]

I usually play 3 matches with the same opponent, win or not. If the other person does not leave, they are probably trying to learn by playing someone better. I will leave if i win a match after 2 or 3 straight loses though, I feel accomplished and am done with what i needed to do

 

[Shiliski]

Meh. No one is really entitled to fight you more than you want to. I know I haven't really been feeling well lately and sometimes I only have 1 match in me, regardless of whether or not it's a win or a loss.

In general I try to give every opponent I face a 2 out of 3, and if they really blow it in one match by SDing or something then I'll try to give them a rematch so that they can have a chance to soothe their egos, but really it's not like I feel like I owe them that.

Thing is, this is a mode of play where there's no real communication between players, so it's easy for someone else to get the wrong impression. Every quit seems like a ragequit to some people.

 

[Coq1]

I like it when people stay at least for the rematch so that I can see if I'm able to adapt my strategy and win

 

[YamiKitsune]

Its opinion based really. Me personally? I'm not affected by it.

 

[Glitchin]

I just play with the same person until they disconnect. I do hate it when someone beats me and disconnects afterwards though.

 

[sweq32]

I'm guilty of doing this sometimes, sadly. It's mostly when I'm facing someone that was more annoying to face than fun, though. There are some people I just couldn't play another round with.

 

[Riggy Rascal]

This would miff me, to be honest. But if it's more like you, from the first match, believe you have a feel for what the player might and can throw at you, and that doesn't interest you to the point where you want a rematch, then do feel free to move on. They'll find someone else to play, just as good or better.

If they choose to dwell on a loss, that's them.

 

[SwoodGrommet]

I'd usually only leave after playing them once if we had a very bad connection, or if they had a douchey playstyle. But really, who cares what other people think. If you don't want to play them again, don't.

The idea of a new opponent every match just interests me more. It really has nothing to do with what you said

 

[Banjodorf]

I usually play 2/3 with them. If I win two in a row, I leave, or 2/3 I leave. Just seems fair that way.

 

[D3boy510]

Not really, I rarely notice my opponent left until the next match starts. But I tend to stay until I win 3 in a row.

 

[Riggy Rascal]

Psh, then it's the same deal. If you would have more fun playing someone else, then it's whatever.

 

[nyttyn]

Meh, who cares? They aren't paying you to fight them, it's all for fun and for the sake of having a good time anyways, so long as you aren't hacking or anything just do what you find fun.

If 'this' is considered uncouth, god forbid anyone ever uses taunts, or kirbycides, etc.

 

[guayaba209]

All about tournament settings for me, so i try to get a real feel of a match if i go to a tournament. Going best 2 out 3 is the correct way for me, but if i think they are good i go all out until one of quits as you'll never know when you will face an opponent as good again.

 

[CrimsonYoshi]

I always leave if I lose to someone 2-3 times and finally beat them once just so they get mad and I get the last laugh. That's the only time it's uncouth.........for them, that is.

 

[KurashiDragon]

It pisses me off more than it needs to when someone does this to me especially when you're having an epic battle and one little thing goes wrong.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Unless they really suck, I'll play them for around 2-5 matches.

 

[SpiritGuru]

I wouldn't say it's particularly bad mannered, but I always make an effort to stick with my partner whether I win or lose. It feels good for both parties to get a rematch and it can make for some impromptu "sets".

 

[PizzaGuy]

I leave after every match, in fact I normally only play one For Glory match at a time because I'm not much for the competitive scene. I find chaotic For Fun free-for-alls more my style. (That's not to say I wouldn't do well as a competitive player if I applied myself... But I just don't like competition type set-ups. I think I only even try For Glory when I'm feeling especially daring)

 

[SmashBro99]

I stay unless the connection was garbage.

They usually leave after one loss tho.

 

[momochuu]

unless its laggy i'll stay for a bit. if they lost they probably didn't know the matchup so i'll stay for about 5 games. if you lose like 5 matches in a row, win one, then leave you're kind of a **** lol.

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

Yeah, you're boring. Why wouldn't you wanna keep winning?

I never figured that some people stay and do multiple matches with the same person.

WTF, that's the obvious thing to do. And something we've longed for since Brawl.

I didn't play Brawl online.

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

I'm just saying.

 

[Syrek]

Funny enough I do the exact opposite of what you do sometimes, which kind of makes me a poor sport lol That being said, I don't think it's inertially bad for you to do that. If someone did that to me, I certainly wouldn't be affected by it in the slightest given I can find another person online rather quickly. The only time that I leave a match up with someone is when they're internet is crap, thus making our matches very laggy or I'm losing constantly to this person and I want to find an opponent who has a comparable skill level to mine. Overall, I wouldn't worry about it too much over your decision for always leaving once you win.

 

[djKun]

I usually play best 2 out of 3. Unless the game is being really laggy (basically all of japan)

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

I'm like Zipzo. I never leave. Even if I lose. I want them to leave.

 

[Clemente]

I'm like Zipzo. I never leave. Even if I lose. I want them to leave.

It seems like you're someone who is very worried about your image and maybe a little insecure. I'm not always comparing myself to pros. I just leave because I want a fresh experience with each game.

 

[Solarman]

I really only quit on people if they lag or I was able to 2 stock them in under 2 minutes. Otherwise I will usually go until 5 matches or they quit what ever comes first. If they are really good and push me to do well I will fight for as long as I can.

 

[KaZe_DaRKWIND]

I generally only stop playing with players who lag or wreck me so bad that I know I stand no chance until I get better.

 

[sweq32]

It sounds like some folks will leave if they beat someone easily. That sounds like even more of a douche move to me, especially if the person was actually trying and just wants to get better. Leaving after a single match with them will likely make them feel horrible and in general isn't the most sporty thing to do. That's just my opinion on the matter though. I tend to give players that I defeat easily 3-4 chances just to be fair to them.

I agree completely. Say one thing about me, say I'll leave after one game whether I win OR lose. At least I'm not leaving because I think I'm too good for the other person.

 

[CryoGX]

I usually do 2/3, sometimes more. (Maybe 3/5 sometimes) I am somewhat guilty of doing that a couple of times, but who knows what problems others may have? Also, I tend to like diversity, so I'll get bored against those who play Zelda for like 4 matches.

I'll definitely disconnect from a match that lags badly, though; I don't think that's fair for either of us to experience.

Overall, I wouldn't say that it's a bad thing in itself to do this, but it's more courteous to not do that in optimal conditions.

Sometimes people leave to say "HA! Got that win; screw you I'm out!", but other times they genuinely don't have time to play much, or they don't have any disrespectful intent by leaving (some may want to simply fight a new person each time, regardless of skill but not be aware that the previous person wants a rematch).

Overall, I won't hate anyone for doing it to me, as there's going to be many more matches to come for me (I couldn't personally care less about my record), but it'll give me a slightly brief feeling of saltiness during those times that I may actually want a rematch, but those will be ephemeral at best.

This thread has also made me aware of the little things you can do online that aren't sporty, so I'll definitely take note of it. (Maybe even make an online etiquette thread!)

 

[Rylos]

Only when it's very laggy I leave. If not I stay fighting that person until they leave because I never leave lol.

 

[Dragoomba]

I only really do it to Little Mac scrubs. Boy I sure do love playing against literally one character on matchmaking.

Yeah. As if I don't fight enough Little Macs -- I'm certainly not going to rematch one.

I found the other thing about doing multiple games is that people will either use something to try to directly counter your character, or even worse, try to mirror match you.

 

[Shen_Jehuty]

I personally do not have a problem with it. I have done it my fair share, not to be a d!ck, but because I had to eat dinner, study, or take care of something after winning a match. I think a lot of people take it way too personally like you're saying, "oh look, I'm better then you! Bye!!!" I'm sure at least 90% of all players do not have this in mind when they are quoting after a victory.

 

[Reila]

I don't see the problem.

As for me, I only leave if the opponent's level is way over my league and I see no chance of winning against them without more practice.
