I think it's really lame when people run off the stage and kill themselves just because they're losing.
Smh. I keep the footage guys.

Perhaps you have a bad connection if people are suiciding.

Some people are just good with Ganondorf.When someone beats me and then switch to a bad char like(imo) and beat me with him like they're mocking me
Biggest pet peeve for me is probably when players constantly roll to the end of the stage in an attempt to get you to approach, then roll back to the other side of the stage if you take the bait .

Thankfully no, but a handful of people have just given up and jumped off the stage when they're a stock down and I have like 40%. It may be kids for all I know lol I just thought it was kind of annoying. I just feel like, have some respect for both yourself and your opponent and stick it out to the very end.

Good point.. issue resolved for me lol
I think people play For Glory looking for someone to have a good fight against. It is lame when this someone SD after losing one stock.

It's one thing to do it right after losing a stock and your at 0-40%. **** is weak. But I think if you're being battered around the stage upwards of 80% by someone you're clearly not gonna beat, there's not much shame in it.

I am guilty of this. But what's the point if I struggle so hard and try everything to the point of exhaustion and just die anyway. I cant make a come back anyway so might as well speed the process up

This is how I'm thinking on the subject. I usually just suicide by not trying to recover anymore. Like we get it bro. Your edge game is strong. Kill me or gtfo or I'LL gtfo

Some people beat me so hard that it's unrealistic to think I can even take a single stock. In those cases I just SD. Some matches lately have had me flying everywhere without getting a single hit in. Random hiccups and lag spikes also make spot dodging or turning around or even perfect shield very difficult as the lag eats my command. It allows people to hit when they shouldn't and then it becomes annoying

I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's my 3DS' buttons giving out or lag input loss. Regardless, it's like the "dog ate my homework" of smash. People won't respect it most of the time, but my character really is just NOT doing what I say.
I would rather not give up and try to make a comeback. Even if don't, I am sure I am still learning new stuff. On top of that, I think self destructing after the opponent did their best to win against you is a tad disrespectful.
Yes, because only males play Super Smash Bros.

Wasn't trying to assume anything, but I do suicide at times if the connection is just unbearable and the game is freezing.

I feel like there's only so much respect you can expect out of a random online matchup. Obviously don't do that **** while fighting someone who took the time to add your scrub-ass friend code just to fight you, but it's not like you can't find another opponent. If I'm destroying some poor fool named Chri$69 I don't think I'd feel all that disrespected if he wanted to SD/DC. Respect assumes a certain level of quality to a match. How offended would you really be if you're clearly going to win?
You bring fair points, but I still prefer to not SD. If my opponent SD, then that is their problem, though.

Alternatively: Why do people connect and then not attack? I swear I have gone through matches where literally, before ever fighting me at all, my opponent just sits there and only tries to recover. It's obviously not a rage thing. Like damn dude I don't know what your damage is but don't waste my time. My options are: SD and have it count as a loss, or try to ****ing beat you which could take a while because I suck at killing strikes.

Would it be considered more disrespectful for one to SD or to disconnect mid-match, and by the end of the match you know you're fighting a bot? Or perhaps both are equally frustrating?
"Him" is normally used as a universal singular pronoun. And "them" would have been grammatically incorrect.

I don't know exactly what you're asking here.
Also, either is grammatically correct, though I prefer "them". Why are we nitpicking this

No, it isn't. Him refers to male people only. Female people play Smash Bros, so the correct term IS them.

You could take a look over here where players are suggesting there are bots in online modes.
I suppose this might be why I don't exactly fit in with better players but I find most B attacks mediocre at best, of course with the exception of UpB for recovery.
Basically, do you dislike it more when people SD to end the match, or just outright leave to let you fight a bot the rest of the match?
And I dunno, Reila thought it was a point to nitpick so I made a point to nitpick back.
EDIT** While "him" is the lazy way to put it "him or her" is the entirely correct way. "Them" is not.

Huh, I didn't know about the bot thing. Weird.
I'd say leaving outright would probably be more frustrating. If they end the match by SD I can just dc and find another player.

Haven't run into a spammer yet, but when I do I'll probably just pissing contest spam back.
I can live with getting my ass kicked, I just hate making regretful mistakes like using sideB instead of UpB to mess up and easy recover, or obvious lag, which should effect both players sure, but not so fun depending on the character matchup. Can't John about anything else.

Fought a who kept on using f-smash and counter whenever they got close to me.
user just kept trying to do dash grabs and throw me up in the air so they can just us u-airs on me. That got annoying and that person got easily punished.
had a Mac ditto, kept trying to use counter and any smash moves at random. I just kept throwing him off the edge and he tried to use up-b as a recovery instead of forward b. Terrrible.
A person using these two just kept spamming all the B moves as well as using f-smash at any given moment. Once I realized what the pattern was, I just waited and punished them. They left after my 2nd victory.
So far my matches have been decent, fun, challenging, or just boring. I just want to fight players who know what they're doing and not players who just spam for most of the match and just constantly use forward smash at random. It ain't fun

"Them" as a singular pronoun is not acceptable grammar. What you are referring to is the usage of him or her when referring to an unknown or unspecified gender. Many people decide to choose a gender for the unspecified gender due to it being a natural and familiar pronoun. Most people don't type out "s/he" or "hir" or "zhim". Those are unnatural words in the dialogue of our brains.
So, you will find that people commonly choose either gender when referring to an unspecified or unknown gender. It's normal and common. English has not fully adopted unknown-gender pronouns yet.

That sounds like me...I'm so bad at this game.
My biggest peeves are:
People who taunt when they take a stock or win.
People who play characters because they are strong / High Tier. - Greninja, Rosalina, & Sheik To name a few.
People who play overused characters such as Little Mac, Greninja, Rosalina
People who use SD Specials Like Ganons Flame Choke or Bowsers Koopa Claw to Kill you on your last stock.
People who play online with bad internet.

I can add a pet peeve to my list. Roll spam. Had a pit that just rolled all day and did the electropunch. It was impossible to really punish him for it. So I just spammed roll back. I felt bad for doing it but I was trying to teach a lesson.

Lolz, nothing to backup his "claim?" Not only was it likely speculation,the same exact thing you are doing. There is no in-game communication that is possible when it comes to online atm so we all can only guess at who you are playing, what their current emotion is. where they are playing at, why they play (for fun?casual?comp?etc). Some dude could have had to go back to work after his lunch break smash like I sometimes do, maybe the opponents internet took a.dump, or like others said ending on a high note. Whether you take the game seriously or not ........no one enjoys losing, and yeah sure sometimes you learn from the defeats, but that does not make it any less.of a bummer lol
Online pet peeves of course is Nintendo's archaic online setup..... it baffles me that friending and txt messaging and or Any type of communication are all absent. ITS THE 21st century Nintendo! I would have gladly sacrificed dark pit, Luciana or whatever her name is lol and another character or two for those things mentioned prior.
Bowsercide
Ditto Link, Jigglypuff, both my kryptonite.
Occasionally lag and very rarely dropped games
Fudging myself during a botched off stage meteor smash due to sweaty hands and SCPS (Smash Circle Pad Syndrome..... afflicts only 3DS users, Nintendo has yet to develop a cure for this tiresome and at times embarrassing disorder.)

I fight enough low & lag less people that if one of these dial up ******** come in I suicide and get out. Had one Bowser player who I decided to fight it out with was unbearable.
Admiral Pit

Aside from all the lag that happens...
He's like the commonly used "Ike" in the early days, except easier to use and almost if not more effective. Most of em are terrible as it is.
The current high tiers, and thus currently the most common. Unfortunately I see too many Greninjas, almost as much as I see Macs.
Common characters, like the 3 I named above, and Bowser.
Roll spammers: It's almost like this game buffed those kinda players. Rolling around and grab often throughout the match, even if you're in the lead. The worst part is if they roll back and forth next to a ledge.
I just have issues with how annoying these 2 are, especially Lucina. Honestly, players who use "counter" characters added with roll spam is so frustrating.
Tier dependents: Obvious, especially if they resort to the higher up characters when they lose.
Lag, again: As a Palutena user, I need my D-throw to N-air/F-air/U-air combos, in which the last one is a kill method. Lag keeps me from doing this much.
So yea, a lot of troubles.

This has happened to me twice. First one was a rage quit the other day after he lost a stock at low percents. Other one was a guy I was playing several matches in a row with (like 10 or something?) a little bit ago who saw me swap to Lucina and SD'd so that he could try his Lucina vs. mine.
There are good and bad reasons to do that. For me, whenever I SD it's because the Launch Star will destroy you if you mess it up, and I tend to mess things up sometimes.
I think my biggest pet peeve is the lack of Stock representation in the online mode. Yes, 1v1 is Stock and I'm happy about that, but I wouldn't mind some Team Stock or FFA Stock.

My gripes with online is the lag and those players who just spam moves. I came across quite a few Ness players who constantly spammed PK Fire... Needless to say I beat them, causing them to quit... Also I hate it when people beat you a couple times and then, when you beat them back, they just leave. Its as though they were insulted to have lost.

I play Little Mac and it's funny how other little macs spam jolt haymaker...like that move has so much delay to keep spamming.
So many little macs aren't even good.
They switch to little mac to try to "get to my level" and get destroyed. I don't really get annoyed. I just find it funny.
But one thing is all the matches that I was close to winning but then I lose of some silly mispress cause of lag or controls.

Yep, no matter how bad you're getting your ass beat there's always a chance for a comeback. I had this one japanese player beat the sht outta me yesterday with only 33% by the time he took my first stock (admittedly I wasn't paying much attention) but I somehow came back and won. There isn't much reason to self destruct when most games don't last very long, unless you get one of those trash defensive players who roll around all day

Yeah all this rage quitting and these salty ditto battles are definitely a growing trend, but, I'm pretty sure most people will eventually realize it's kinda petty.
I completely agree on the stock representation in online mode! Very happy 1v1 is stock but yes, imo the other modes should be for stock as well.
