Oh ****, another CMU player? :D
Both Laudandus and I are CMU students. There are quite a few other smashers here, but they don't really post. Check your PMs for where we play.

Nothing I just don't understand why I can't just sit and play with someone with out it being all out "who ever wins is better match" it's just so competitive that it makes it not fun. He has no problem chaingrabing me to 300% when I go like shiek or something. He takes this game so serious that's it's ridiculous.

Hes playing to win, doing the super gay, you just gotta counter gay with gay. And I'm playing to better my game right now, as pound 5 will be the 2340923905th tournament where i try to do better than I did last, which always ends up being not out of pools, so if i dont practice self-discipline, correcting my errors, and being more efficient, i wont get anywhere.
TL;DR. I'm playing to win for pound.

I can just not bring myself to deliberately play gay just to win. I don't even know how. I understand what your doing. No problem there. I'm just saying that's the way it's always been since Johny got good. It stupid. I can't just do this ego battle every damn day. I just play to have fun and do cool stuff. I mean.. I do buckle down and try at tournaments but that about the only time. Idk. I suck.

Technically they haven't "regressed," since that would mean they returned to an earlier state, which is in fact quite contradictory to the truth since my earliest posts were mostly respectful, developed pieces of genuinely meaningful input, and the advent of borderline ******** spam posts developed much later in an effort to accumulate the necessary posts to reach my goal with minimal effort, or, nowadays, to fluff that meaningless number to an even more flattering magnitude.
However, my posts have certainly always been pretentious and contained sentences that were as close to being run-ons as possible without actually crossing the line, so while this still couldn't be labeled a "regression," I have at least remained consistent.

That's pretty much the issue I've been facing for awhile, in every competitive game I play. Unfortunately it's a matter of perspective, leaving it in your own hands to change your outlook -- whether or not that's truly possible is anyone's guess. Some people can both engage in something competitively but remain emotionally unfazed by their shortcomings; other people may shrug off their losses, but only if they don't particularly care that much about it; others, still, simply cannot ever feel that their losses are justified, remaining trapped behind the perpetual notion that, in the heat of the competition, deep down, they deserved to win. These are all merely different interpretations of the same (losing) scenario -- it's all perspective.
The mentality you seem to be exhibiting (which we and probably most people share) is that of not being rewarded with what you deserve for your efforts. The frustration builds as you continue to practice, study, and refine your technique, priding yourself on your personal progress and the development of your own style... only to lose to a chaingrabbing Sheik, or a laser-spamming Falco, whatever. Truthfully, with this mentality, no loss will ever feel right -- the ego is searching for pure, cold victories in order to satisfy all the efforts that have gone into improving your own talents, and it will not settle for failure by any means. In this mindset, we're prone to discredit and condemn the things that beat us, whether it be chaingrabs, laser spam, death combos, or any other genuinely good play by our opponents, rather than admire and seek to emulate them, claiming our (losing) performances to be more "noble" or "skillful." It's the same as the lesser-skilled / casual gamers who would look at any of us and tell us to "get a life"; a hostile and patronizing attempt to discredit our accomplishments so that they don't feel the need to have to pursue them as well. It's all an ego defense, and, once again, perspective.
The only advice I can give is you is to not allow the ego to speak for you: catch it in the act. By knowing that you're prone to these frustrations, you're already one step ahead. Monitor your own attitude when you play, and watch for when your frustrations begin to mount and you begin seeing an illegitimacy behind the things that are beating you... and take a break. Take a moment to cool off your emotions so that you can intellectually rationalize what happened. What did your opponent do? Did it work? Isn't that the point of the game? If you can't humbly and happily acknowledge/accept the answer to those three questions, cool off a little more and try again -- don't beat your head against the wall. When you're truly content with recognizing what went wrong, when you can admit the effectiveness/skill that was behind your opponent's victory, then you're ready to play again; and if improvement is still a genuine concern of yours, you're ready to start examining what you could be doing differently to hopefully win.
Almost any mentality aside from feeling you deserved to win will enable you to be content with losing, for it's the feeling of entitlement and being robbed of what you 'deserve' that's most irritating. Again, it's all perspective, which is up to you to control.
*swoons* I love alans post
Caroll if it means everything....alot of folks have that very problem
From a sociological stand point theres one aspect of competition that alot of folks neglect which in turn only sulks their already bleak mentality until its nothing more than a negative crucifix of biblical disarae (diserray...how the **** do you spell that?)
You play off the crowd
you play best when folks are backing up the crazy stuff you do
which makes you consistant
which is all it takes to be rocking
everyone can be groovy in a bunch of ways but it all comes down to how do you make your style consistant
somtimes you gotta tone down the cool and rack up some sack (im talking about testicles which in turn is some derivative of homosexual associaton which is thought of as an insult due to cultural iggnorance....and BLATANT hipocracy in this case ;D ziiing)
So relax man
and know that competition only reaaally matters
when it calls for it
meaning get 4 stocked in friendlies
whatever
but when it comes down to that tourney
then toke up and go for broke
if it didnt work think about what you did wrong
seek therapy
get laid
drink apple cider
or play yoshi and make a but load of johns
look at pp vs m2k
m2k knew that like a book but he rode the crowd in the wrong direction
and didnt go as gay as he should
and died like a seel beeing beaten with another seel
which is horrible
so even high lvl play shows this
just suck up some **** before a match
and feel good about it
cause lets be honest....
when it comes down to it the best feeling isnt just winning
its beating everyone who cares about you
until you have absolutely no one standing by your side
even at your own death bed
<3

For the record. I had a 13 game winning streak today: my Marth vs his shiek Zelda ganon Marth & fox. Winning in flashy fashion too. But then I was like I'm done. And johnys like "play me in a set! you afraid to lose?" I'm like I just won like 15straight. So eventually we play my fox vs his shiek. And no joke.. Each match was him throwing needles and planking the edge with up b. He wins and just laughs and leaves.. Like that kinda stuff I just can't handle. Just play the game. Who cares which one of us is better? We both still lose to the same people. Whats the prize? Nothing. So just chilllllllllllllllll

If he's the one cracking up and acting cocky while you're the one being annoyed by it, then you're letting him be the only one to fulfill your goal of "just having fun."
It's fully your own responsibility not to let other people's behavior affect you (and hardly just in gaming). If you truly don't care about proving anything and just want to have fun, and you know that somebody is going to have an attitude you don't like, it's up to you to either be able to laugh at their predictability and shake it off, or keep your distance from them. It's no different from dealing with internet trolls: don't feed them.
The issue becomes more complicated if you do feel like you have something to prove. Refer to my previous post. ^^

Get better at not playing gay. Like, I know I play super gay vs you (though just for the joke factor at this point, lol), but in general I play really aggressive, I try to play a pressure game a lot, and I try to do cool stuff while I'm at it. Now granted I'm not good at any of that, but it's how I play to have fun, and I'm getting a lot better. It can be the same thing for you.
Look at Mango. You think he only plays gay, safe, whatever? He uses moves that are terrible, he's always aggressive, but he's just really really good at the basics, like spacing, not missing techs, etc. And he's really confident. And while the goal to be that good may not be attainable in any short amount of time, it's still a goal to work for. And when you beat somebody who's playing gay by doing your own thing, doesn't it feel good?
I mean think about it; didn't it feel awesome to beat me in the glory match?

USE PRETENTIOUS WORDS YOU REGULAR PIECE OF ****.
I may every once in a while practice the super gay things, but usually I take the time in friendlies to try things out and be creative.
Pretty much all I do is whatever Zhu tells me to do in interviews/videos because I am a tool ( falco ).

Definitely will try to make it.
I remember back in 06/07 my high school held some tournies for smash. We made more money than the Madden tournament and tickets were more expensive for Madden. Cause we grossed so much money for "Gamers Club" we basically took over exec positions and stuff. Haha b4 brawl too.
I made tickets with people's names on them and a seal of approval. SUper official. But I see you guys have trophies nice.

I think i've reduced cool stuff to just plain "gay" because I do it so often.
I'm not gonna do "cool" stuff if you're gonna do "gay" stuff like DI, and edgeguard.
Edit: Lon Took first in that tourney? LOL, WHERE YOU AT?!
Edit:Edit: Smash after 5ish today anyone?

also Johny lost to my friend pat who plays yoshi and has never played before. Loooooooool

Lol, then stop thinking so much and just play. Those that want to win will do whatever it takes to win. And people like you and me will just have to not take it personal when that gay **** happens to you.
It is just a play style choice. The reason you can't just sit and play gay like taki's puff (no offense) bair camping, or johnny just CG for 4 stocks is because just winning isn't fun for you. It is for them. They are perfectly happy just sitting there doing what works. What's fun for you is winning while doing over the top flashy nonsense. Which will make you a more entertaining smasher to watch, but also means you'll probably lose a lot more.
In the end, ya just gotta keep playing.
Officially froze my WoW account today. If I feel interested again, I'll resubscribe, but I'm trying to keep my bank account up for the time being.
And Carroll, I know exactly how you feel; it's something I struggle with a lot too. I hate losing to standard, automatic combos and campy play. The fact is, for some unknown reason, people like Johnny actually enjoy playing the game like that. I can't fathom why, but they seem to find it enjoyable, and it's frustrating to people like us who are extremely competitive but don't like playing the game in a gay fashion. It won't stop making you angry until you decide to not care about winning, which isn't an easy thing to do, and not something I myself have been able to accomplish. You just have to try and hope it works out.
