Noob stomp or nice guy?

[Stewie1288]

So I play guys in my dorm....and they suck.

Well ok, they don't suck they just haven't been around the game for as long as I have. I'm not saying I'm amazing at smash, but I do have a decent edgeguard/hog and I throw around my fair share of spikes.

My question to you is What do I say when people berate me for spiking/edgeguarding? I always hear, "Oh thats so cheap" or some other random stab at me. I know for a fact it isn't "cheap" it's simply because they don't know how to avoid being set-up for a shine spike, ganon/falco/marth dair.

So I come to you faithful Smashboarders! Give me a comeback!

 

[Zankoku]

A Ganon spike isn't cheap. They failed to meteor cancel.
A Marth spike is difficult enough to pull off anyway.
A Falco spike is broken. Still, it's part of the game, unless it's PAL version.

My logic is, if everyone can do it, they're only calling it cheap because they're too lazy to figure out how to do it themselves.

That pretty much sums it up, or I would just punch them in the face.

say sorry and then smile really big.

or tell a story about how you always get spiked/edgeguarded by players(they can be fictional) who are better than you and always do that to you. This way they are forced to relate.

or dont play with them anymore and call them babies.

 

[Changster92]

Tell them not to use their double jump as soon as they can after a throw.

 

[theONEjanitor]

just tell them its part of the game, they can do it too.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Spike them with Zelda, just to rub it in a bit.

It's their fault for being dumb and not knowing how to get around it. And if you're playing against ****ty players anyway, use characters you aren't as good with. That's what I do.

 

[Puffs]

Tell them they'll get better and eventually beat the crap out of you the same way.

 

[Jaymundo]

I can't believe no one said "tell them they suck" yet.
TELL THEM THEY SUCK!

I pretty much do the same thing.

Though I do like picking Random most of the time.

Me as Mewtwo vs. a somewhat decent Falco?

Hurrah!

As for your friends, they just need to perk up and get a little better. Once they've done the same to you, they'll probably feel a lot better!

Or they just might be really smug - I suggest stupid grins and retaliatory action in the manner of which they had killed you!

 

[Deadeyedave]

Teach them how to play better.

Show them how to avoid spikes, show them how to spike, but keep spiking them.

Don't hold back, but always be willing tell them all your tricks.

Matches are the most fun when everyone's playing at their top potential.

 

[Ekaru]

First, for edgehogging, go show them some bonuses. You may need some people to restrain them from killing themselves when the realization that edgehogging and edgeguarding were intended strikes them. Do the same for meteorsmashes.


For spikes? Simple, take out Y.Link, and do his mid-air spike, then explain to them how there is NO WAY IN HELL that was unintentional, and as such, spikes were made into the game (though they had some balance issues sometimes... but don't mention that).


Now that that's done with, show them how to not suck as much. You have to do at least the first thing I said, though, before they will be truly willing to learn sometimes. ><;

 

[Algus Underdunk]

Maybe try not playing overly aggresively against them if you want to continue playing them regularly?

I know it's more fun for my friends and I when we just goof around and don't play too seriously... although on occasion a high-skill match is a nice refresher...

 

[RedYoshi92]

ignore what your friends say and have a good time playing the game.

 

[The |Egg| Sniper]

As said in RvB: "It's a legitimate strategy!"

Seriously though, if they end up going off the edge by falling for something, they are also the reason for getting spiked and not doing something about it. Spikes happen all the time. If they weren't legitimate, they wouldn't show them in the tutorial video.....catch my drift?

 

[Micheloxx]

tell to ur friends, to get into the boards and learn about smash, that isnt cheap man, thats just moves in the game they gotta do to win, and well, teach them and tell them to do the same..

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

So I come to you faithful Smashboarders! Give me a comeback!

Comeback? Just say no johns. but they're scrubs so I doubt they even know what johns are. I just wouldnt play these guys if they hassled me for edgeguarding, thats ridiculous.

 

[Luigi Ka-master]

agree with them and continue gimping them?

 

[flintblack]

I have actually had the same thing happen to me......but worse when I play my friends (we play 5 stock) and they are down to 1 stock and I still have 5, they will sd themselves and wont fight.....and I proclaim BS! But i get the same thing. They even go as far as saying the game likes me more and the outcomes of the matches are unfair....and I cheat. So I know where you are coming from. Just keep PWNING!

 

[Rang Flash]

I have the same problem, whenever I beat noobs they always say something like, "You're too good at this game, we don't play to win we just play to have fun. Stop ruining our fun."

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

agree with them and continue gimping them?

hahahhahhahaha

Ok this is the best suggestion yet. Better yet, do it and video record it and post it.

 

[Repryx]

Why dont you just show your friends a few pro matches then put 'em on to the boards...Or tell 'em "Shut up and take this ****"

 

[Sliq]

Show them this picture, and then say NO JOHNS:

 

[Smo]

agree with them and continue gimping them?

Naturally.
"camping *****!"
"it's a legitimate strategy!!"
