That awkward moment...

[Cactuar]

I don't think I ever have moments more awkward than when I JV-5 people.

 

[Bones0]

JV-5ing is Cactuawkward?

 

[HT F8]

Missing a ridiculously easy Rest, like an upthrow on spacies, or a grab rest in teams. -___-

Mis-reading your opponent's tech and running in the complete opposite direction of their roll.

SD'ing while Vanish ledge stalling.

Captain Falcon: Uair, Uair, JC Upsmash / Uair, Uair, Uair, falling Knee to SD.

 

[Roneblaster]

yea those moments inbetween the victory screen and the next match after you lay a heavy beatdown on some1 is quite awkward.

 

[ChivalRuse]

The moment when you get grabbed before the GO! sign disappears from the screen.

 

[slartibartfast42]

...when you pull a beamsword when pulling a turnup for edgeguarding and kill them on their last stock with its fsmash... And it's the second BeamSword you've pulled that set.

...when you beat the best player in your state in a tournament match entirely because they phantom hit rest you twice.

...When peach is recovering by floating just barely above you on pokemon stadium while you're charging shield breaker, both of you are on your last stock, then the mountain rises underneath you allowing you to reach and kill peach, winning you the set.

All of these have actually happened to me <_< The first wasn't in tournament but the second 2 were.

Oh, and another one that happened to me today in friendlies: When you get knee'd at 30% at the edge of corneria and die because you fall right into the great fox's laser blast.

 

[LatexRhombus]

when someone is sitting in the barrel on kongo jungle 64.

 

[Ghostbone]

When someone tells you you've got a good fox and you immediately side-b off the stage.

 

[Veetaak]

When someone tells you you've got a good fox and you immediately side-b off the stage.

haha :D
It's always awkward getting complimented and then doing a fail.
It's also awkward when you're doing mad **** combos just to find out that it's your teammate flying around between your shines and dairs D:

 

[_Rocky_]

THE MOST AWKWARD THING is when something amazing/funny happens in friendlies and you laugh/yell/comment on it while the other player just sits there with a stone face and doesn't say a word

 

[Walt]

Jman and Chops were playing friendlies once, and I asked if I could get next, and they said it was tournament so I couldn't...

that was awkward...

since it wasn't tournament...

I'm a big fan of

-"Can I get next?"
-"We're doing best of 101"
-"What are you on?"
-"7"

Just to not let that guy play.

 

[Skeletom]

as ganon when you down-b the blocks on greengreens and your opponent runs into the back of your hitbox and it KO's.

 

[Jonas]

I don't really like team matches (I don't hate them but I much prefer singles) and sometimes this happens:

Two people are at a TV set playing friendlies. I sit down and ask "can I play next" or something to which they usually reply something like "yeah" or "sure."
When the match is about to end and it's my turn, someone comes over and is like "hey guys, teams?"



Wouldn't really be a problem if I enjoyed team matches more lol

It's even more awkward when you're watching two people play and you start laugh or yell at something and both players just sit there all stone faced.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Inadvertently powershielding projectiles right next to your opponent

In doubles when you grab your teammate and are not expecting it. Most people freeze up.

When you're ****** your newbie opponent so hard and you feel kind of sorry for him but don't know if you should sandbag or not. It's really awkward because none of you are saying anything.

When you empty sh behind someone, and you both shield waiting for the other guy to do something.

Or when you run up to someone and they shield and you stand there for a sec trying to figure out what to do before you finally grab them after a few seconds.

When you try to dashdance and spin around 5 times.

when you are wobbling someone in a friendly
when you are chaingrabbing someone in a friendly
when you pick metaknight (in a friendly)

When you laugh at somebody for just killing himself.

And you kill yourself a second later.

You combo into a charged shot, but you accidentally reverse it and shoot it clean in the wrong direction.

When you play some terrible character in friendlies against someone else's main and you win a match you probably should have lost and before the next game you're wondering if they're salty and want you to give them a chance to beat you in that matchup or if they just want you to cut the bull**** and go back to playing your main.

Getting saved because you collided with your teammate in midair.

Falco's shine stops knocking them into the falling animation, but they were at a high percent so they awkwardly levitate above you like a genie.

You tech as Luigi, and have to anticipate the latent momentum as you slide off the stage anyway.

Waiting for your opponent as they take an eternity to scroll through a giant *** list of tags.

Trying to tug on your controller cord to unplug it from afar so as not to block the TV, only to realize that that particular GameCube has some sort of vice grip on your plug. You then end up distracting the next two players more than if you had simply reached in front of the screen to pull it out.

When you snap your control or c-stick in that weird way that makes it sound like you just broke it in half. Also happen with Z if you flick the end sometimes.

You go to shake someone's hand and they don't notice and you end up sitting their with your hand in the air for a second.

You and your opponent both die at the same time in tournament, so you both sit on the angel platform for like 10 seconds until it forces you down so you don't waste your invincibility. It's almost even weirder when someone dies on their own and waits to collect their thoughts or something.

All of these apply to me

When someone tells you you've got a good fox and you immediately side-b off the stage.

2SXC: Oh heeeeeey, someone who knows how to use Fox.
Ghostbone: *Illusions straight off the stage on his second to last stock*
...

 

[Ghostbone]

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

lolz

I should have cancelled the illusion like a boss.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Oh, here's another awkward moment courtesy of South Australia:

Grim: *Misses Rest*
Nova: *Slowly walks up as Peach, ready to punish*
...
Nova: *Uses Parasol*

[keeper]

It's awkward when you tech chase someone in Pichu dittos.

 

[ThePrime]

Not a big fan of teams, but it's awkward when one team is always winning and both of the guys on the losing team are waiting for their chance to say "uh hey u guys wanna switch up the teams?"

cept that chances sometimes never comes, and the losing team continues to get ***** lolll

Happened to me last night lol


Trying to dash dance but end up pivoting in play

Wavedashes that are just blatant air dodges

Jab kills

Intimidation

 

[-ACE-]

Probably the most awkward thing to me, come to think of it, is when your opponent is obviously truly upset with his performance and starts playing even worse because of it.

 

[Shadow Huan]

^^ i'm one of those guys.

doesn't make me fun to play in tourny sometimes, i'm a master choke artist.

I don't really mind loosing when I'm playing well and am straight up out played, but playing like bull**** and making mistakes i shouldn't makes me upset, which in turn makes me play even worse, which in turn makes me seem like a rude jerk to many ppl i have played. I'm not a rude jerk tho, i promise lol

anyways, one of the most awkward things that's happened to me is loosing friendlies against someone's Pichu with Falcon 3 times before squeaking out a win...

then ****** his Pichu 4 times in a row with mewtwo.

people watching behind us were just like "Wut?" lol

 

[AlphaZealot]

when a parent walks in the venue.

 

[Tee ay eye]

when you're not bi-polar, but you're bi-winning

 

[4 Aces]

When you and your opponent both start Dash dancing at two opposite ends of the stage and at the start of the match, but realize that you're both doing it wrong. Then you both stop, and it's quiet.

When you're ****** your newbie opponent so hard and you feel kind of sorry for him but don't know if you should sandbag or not. It's really awkward because none of you are saying anything.

^LOL This.

 

[Jake13]

When you reverse up-b in an attempt to sweetspot the ledge with falcon, land on the ledge, ledge cancel back off, and die because who the **** expects that **** to happen.

this.

and when you're ledgehogging in a falcon ditto on ps and the other falcon shouldn't have made it back but ledgecancels the up b, up airs you and grabs the ledge. then you up b, about to get ledgehogged and ledgecancel your up b right back at them. all on purpose of course

ok it wasn't awkward it was ****ing amazing


but how excited we both got over it afterwords was a little awkward

 

[BigD!!!]

talking to vidjogamer

 

[Cactuar]

If I were trolling, I would say

"That moment when you realize you can't pay out to the winners of the tournament you are hosting..."

But you know... I'm no troll.

 

[Beat!]

I was sort of expecting that one.

 

[Kira-]

3 seconds before the match ends, someone calls next.

 

[Riddlebox]

Suiciding / getting 0 to death'd or rested before the opening part of the Fountain of Dreams song finishes.

 

[Biglard]

Suiciding / getting 0 to death'd or rested before the opening part of the Fountain of Dreams song finishes.

Ha, reminds me of a ritual we had with a friend: we had no right to hit each other before the end of the opening part when we played on FoD. It was technical warmup time generally.

 

[Esper]

I love this thread :D

 

[Yung Mei]

Stage Spiking your opponent with a strong as hell move ( 9/Falcon Punch/Warlock Punch) on their last stock, when you dont even use the character


Ive done all those








one the same person













it was awkward as **** for the rest of the day

 

[hungrybox]

When someone tells you you've got a good fox and you immediately side-b off the stage.

lmaooooooooooo

 

[EPsilon933]

When you talk about how good your character you don't play as is after 2 stocking 1 guy then getting 4 stocked by the next person you fight

 

[Tee ay eye]

when the winner tries to switch characters
and the loser is saltily mashing start to get into the rematch and avenge themselves

 

[tera twin]

when a parent walks in the venue.

this over anything for me except i don't care if it's someone elses parent. i do if it's one of mine

 

[Cheebs]

4 stocking your best friend with Pichu when he thinks he's better then you :o

 

[Stratford]

when the winner tries to switch characters
and the loser is saltily mashing start to get into the rematch and avenge themselves

I approve of this adverbial form of salt.

 

[Mooo]

saltily is best
