Your addressing my personal reactions but it's different people. If you beat me, I wouldn't try to demean it. It will vary with person to person how I will react. I may not mention it but I will have my personal view on the match either way whether I express it or not.
I'm not talking about good sportsmanship and friendly competition. I'm talking about what I think is fair. If I was being nice to everyone conflicts like this wouldn't involve me but I'd rather speak on what I think is fair(whether I care or not). I could say the same thing about you. Why bother to count your win over me knowing I'm not at full strength? That sounds rude too
I'm simply saying that these kinds of problems would not exist if GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP was still around.
You know I of all people am willing to debate page after page, but I feel as though there is a more simple solution. At the rate we are going, there could honestly be a point where a set doesn't count if a player trips in it. Or if someone sd's the set doesn't count. These are all, unexpected turns within a match. Turns that can literally GIVE someone a win regardless of whether they out played the other.
people, not just you Kai, people, create these reasons for losing( so that they can disgard,justify them w/e) and this compromises the practice of crediting the opponent. If credit and respect were given more often I personally feel that you wouldn't feel any type of way about someone using a victory over you in low tiers. I mean REALISTICALLY, there are very few people in NJ who will or who have beat you. So if you didn't feel, as does most of everyone else in NJ, that you have to FIGHT for your right to be respected as a player via arguing on the boards, then you would be more likely to see someone beating you simply as someone beating you because you'd know that the same would be done in return when you get your wins.
Also, be serious about the low tier stuff. You are more than capable of beating anyone in NJ with sonic in low tiers. You are holding on to a technicality imo. Regardless if you would use diddy vs falcon irl, you are not automatically some brain dead person who has no clue what to do because diddy is not available to you.
Also, you have been entering low tier tournies for how long? If out of the 4 characters allowed in low tiers, you are still unsure about any mu, then maybe you should actually practice them w/ sonic, so you don't suffer any weird losses.
Honestly, I don't think I would screw someone out of a win over my marth because I didn't have sheik and falco available to me. Regardless of who I might have chosen to use, my marth is more than capable of executing my vs snake gameplan, and I personally feel the same about your sonic vs like any low tier char. You are adequate in every low tier mu bro, you really are.
