When my stupid sexy Falcon SD's on overkill knees my friends say, "Well at least I got that stock.", and it makes me rage inside.

My friends and I usually laugh about our matches. Especially if we ended up with some stupid SDs.

Did anyone mention the silent john? It includes . . .

--yawning
--putting on a jacket
--resetting the controller
--taking stuff out of pockets

But especially yawning. I call silent johns on that **** so badly. Man up.

The worst john I've ever heard is usually the most common one. You'll hear it on every competitive/online 1vs1 games you play.

"Man I'm not even trying so don't feel so proud" or the other
"I'm not even paying attention, I just don't feel like playing right now, I hope you know that"

I don't know whether to laugh at it or cry cause I've heard it way to many times. And the more games I play, the more I hear it. It's like a plague :dizzy:

I haven't read the entire thread, but from what I have read I'm surprised that I haven't seen the "I didn't even get started" john. If I play really well someday many of my friends will never "get started" even if we play for hours. lol

From way before Brawl (I mained Fox, but could barely play compared to now) against my friend.

"That's so cheap, you're not even really fighting. Come down here and fight like a man."

(My playstyle consisted of running around a lot, dodging him, and landing a few attacks before I ran away again. I'd usually 0-death him.)

Lol, I think I silent john people by accident. I do most of this stuff without having a controller in my hand

I do that thing where someone slaps both sides of their own face twice, it's supposed to help with focus or something, but I just do it because I'm nervous.

Many people just can't accept the fact that they lost. They MUST attack the winner's social life or make themselves seem not as good to invalidate the winner's victory. That is how they sleep at night. They tell everyone, and themselves, that it wasn't really a loss.
