So today I played a little WFT in For Glory, whatever, slightly irrelevant, but there was this guy I was against who beat me a couple of times, the first time he swapped to Ganon (Same costume as me.) I was all "Oh okay, well, guess I better pull out my Ganon to show them how to play." (Bad move, it was laggy as all hell. Not my strong point.), I won a couple, and then out of friggin' nowhere comes Pink F Robin. The guy was hella disrespectful and generally didn't seem to care that most of his KOs were very blatantly lag-based. He spent a lot of time on the menus and just generally tried his hardest to annoy me. Not the point, this is FG, nothing new so far.
Now anyone who can see my forum sig can clearly see, Ganon and Robin are my secondaries - and this isn't the first time this sorta thing has happened. I even had one player a while back jump from Roy (Koopa) to Robin to Ganon on me before I'd even played any of them (I was upping my Marth game.) - costumes perfectly matching, then quit when I stomped them as all three.
Now, it could be coincidence. It could, but there's no way in hell I can come across people on atleast a monthly basis (It's not common, won't lie, but it happens.) who stall on menus only to jump out playing my mains (badly and disrespectfully, to boot) in the exact costumes I do. No fresh chance in hell do I believe that's coincidence. It's genuinely jarring when I come across someone who jumps out as, say, Roy and then Pink Robin, because I genuinely don't believe there's much chance many people play those exact two as main. -and trust me, I'd remember names, so I know these people aren't the same people.
Seriously, call me crazy, call me paranoid, but I think people are starting to look up people's mains solely with the idea they can win and generally just be idiots going for disrespect. I mean, other than Ganon, my mains aren't exactly super-popular. So either FG is screwing with me by putting me against people who use my exact characters, or people are looking up who I play.
If anyone's had a similar experience, post about it, I seriously wanna know if I'm not the only one coming across this weird phenomenon.
