Thing's that trigger your "Beast Mode"

[Radirgy]

Anyone get really pumped when facing certain characters in this?
For example I keep having the misfortune of having Bowsers pulled out on my Pikachu when playing online, Bowsers used to kill me all the time because Pikachu dies at low % and Bowser has that stupidly powerful drop kick. Recently I've just started going full on aggro whenever I face a Bowser, especially with Pikachu, I just keep hitting them until they die, it's crazy the matches are like 3 minutes long at most because I'm just hammering them with everything I can throw at them until they die.
I'm always laughing when it's over because I realise I was getting like legit angry, not rage angry, but I'm going to kick your ass kind of mad. I really enjoy the game when it happens. I have a similar feeling when I'm getting destroyed by people who are clearly better than me, I start to become obsessed with getting good, at figuring them out, I want to destroy these people and if I get beat I just go again and again. The only thing that ruins it all is when they leave.

Maybe beast mode is the wrong use of term here because to beast you have to actually be good at the game (I'm clearly not) but either way it's a great feeling to have when playing Smash to suddenly have this fire burn inside you that wants to just keep getting up and trying again until you eventually start playing amazing.

 

[Ze Diglett]

Whenever I fight someone using or/as R.O.B. Those characters either give me the most trouble or are just plain annoying (or both, in [Dark] Pit's case), so I always flip on the tryward switch whenever I see someone using them online.

 

[Turrin]

Whenever someone's using the same character as me. I was using against a guy that played as , and he beat me pretty badly. Then he switched to Fox, thinking he could beat me again. I went more try-hard than I've ever gone in my life, and it was really even until he ended up killing himself by Up-B-ing straight down. Not sure if it was an accident or not. Either way, it felt like I'd just kicked a guy out of my own house.

 

[Radirgy]

Whenever someone dittos me on purpose I have to fight the urge to SD. I hate playing dittos, when I win it doesn't feel good, I just feel glad I wasn't made to feel inferior to some guy who doesn't even play the character.
Must win games for me? Tournaments? Money Matches? Naw mate, dittos are the biggest must wins for me, I play those not to lose, not play to win, play not to lose because god forbid I lose a ditto.

 

[LoveGame]

Sometimes it's when a specific song comes on, I just feel like I sort of "power up" and do better naturally. Like I even have some Lady Gaga songs for some of my stages in PM and they usually get me super pumped to pull off crazy Mewtwo stuff.

In Smash 4, I get that effect from "You Will Know Our Names", the Star Wolf theme, and the WarioWare theme.

When Mewtwo releases in Smash 4, I'll probably instinctively fight harder against the other Pokemon characters because I just have that mindset.

 

[BerryBomber]

^I have to agree that music gets me the most pumped out of anything. Gaur Plain, Wily's Castle, and other specific songs are just hype to the max!

Plus getting a successful meteor smash or Flacon Punch in. Sure its a common thing but I go wild like OOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Rysir]

Being behind in a fight and in a ditto match tend to make me go berserk on people as well as getting mildly angry in general.

 

[NintendoKnight]

When I SD in For Glory 1-on-1 while using a character that I'm still not proficient with...

...and then the other guy taunts me.

I kick into "Beast/Hero/Try Hard/Pro/Elite Mode" and rip him a new one.

It also happens when a match starts, and I taunt to show respect, but the other player hits me while taunting. I kick into beast mode again.

 

[lijero13ss]

Not so much when someone taunts me after a KO, but when they taunt me multiple times in a row, especiallly when im a character i am just having fun with. Then i go beast mode, switch to Luigi/Toon Link, and let them have it.

 

[Jae]

when the other player taunts towards a kill they did not earn at all (aka i kill myself by accident)

 

[Mythra]

Getting taunted when I got KOd in a cheap way
When someone uses , , or

Critical situations like losing by one stock

Epic Music sometimes

 

[CaliburChamp]

When someone has a stupid troll name that is offensive or a mii that looks crazy. Surprisingly, 90% of those trolls are really good. It takes the best of my beast mode and puts them to shame knowing they aren't fighting a scrub when they fight me. They especially get pissed off when I make big comebacks with Lucario.They feel like nobody could beat them but when I do, they quit after the first loss usually. They are scumbags.

 

[Locke 06]

Skittles. Beast Mode wants his Skittles to fuel more Beast Mode.

 

[Kryver98]

Basically whenever I'm facing someone who uses only characters that will net them easy hits, especially if their connection causes a ton of lag, specifically .

 

[Mrkaoz]

Lag, taunting for every hit, when someone uses one attack over and over. Uuurgh, the hate I have for this.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

When someone taunts when they're losing.

Like really what?

 

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

If my opponent is better than me and if there's good music playing, I'll go all out.

 

[Kozmiic27]

When the boss medley from kirby comes on I dont think ive ever lost and play insanely aggressive to the point where im making up full 0% to death combos on the spot

 

[MioTinto]

Switching to noob tier characters after losing to me, or tea bagging, makes me furious. Now note that I myself fancy me some tea bagging sometimes, in case I think my opponent could do better and that tea bagging will trigger their beast mode.

 

[Gamr_8]

whenever people pick the character I am playing as

 

[RespawningJesus]

Whenever I cause a player to intentionally SD. Especially whenever they tried using characters that I was using previously to try to show me that they were better than me.

Oh, you can beat me with characters that aren't my mains? Congrats, I wasn't even good with that character to begin with. Now, let me switch to my main and give you hell.

 

[jxthrx]

What really gets me going is when you're just getting the edge on your opponent and then they switch to a character that has a reputation for being an easy win, like or

it just pushes me to the next level and makes me play like it's a life or death situation.

 

[Blablabug]

I get mad when someone is playing or against me.

 

[RandyTheTyrant]

Whenever I realize and am losing because I am playing defensive with a character that dies at a low percent

 

[Eisal]

Playing as Palutena I must always have beast mode on, and be able to control it.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Other Yoshi.

Regardless if I'm playing him or not at the time. I was playing Yoshi before it was cool. Hmph.

Sorry, my hipster is showing.

 

[Storm Eagle]

When I two stock them, and then they either pick my character or Little Mac. Your ass will go DOWN, son!

 

[Tyketto]

I main Zelda, so fighting against Ganondorf triggers my "Beast Mode." If he shows up, I'm like "*gasp!* It's you! Let this be our final battle! For the Triforce!"

Or, you know, something like that.

 

[Gregory2590]

It just happens.

Like, you know how in some video games where you do enough of something and the game goes

"ULTIMATE PSE BURST SUPER STRONG MAX POWER MODE"

and allows you to do some **** that you normally pull can't pull off? It's like that.

 

[SirIanAsh]

Either when I get killed at a low percentage while he's at a high one or I self destruct when he's about to die, I go absolute Super Sayian

 

[JNET]

Either when I get killed at a low percentage while he's at a high one or I self destruct when he's about to die, I go absolute Super Sayian

lol, this is me too. That Edge guard attempt, where I am at 20-30%, they are at 80-100% or so after I combo them to hell.. go for edge guard.. annnddd SD..

 

[Fatmanonice]

Rosalina in general. Even if the other player is god awful with them, I turn into a complete prick when I fight Rosalinas as in I will go out of my way to kill Luma and I will stall with grab releases even when they are easily in kill range. I get more satisfaction out of beating good Rosalinas than any other character.

 

[Reila]

When someone taunts when they're losing.

Like really what?

You have nothing to lose, so why not say **** it and taunt?

 

[LunarWingCloud]

When people spam the same strats over and over again. Fuels me to kick their ass so badly that they hopefully learn how stupid they're being.

 

[Woowoowhistle]

please kill me

 

[Saito]

Music activates mine.

The only other thing is me figuring out my opponent's playstyle.

 

[Lamato]

When I meet someone who can b-reverse and wavebounce projectiles I get triggered.

 

[Deleted member]

When Master Core, which I thought to know his attacks enough, succeeds to demolish me while I'm using Captain Falcon, a character I believe to use very well.

Those kind of moments which push you to pull out the game disc out of the console and shredding it like crazy. T___T

 

[ChikoLad]

Yoshi dittos. I don't know what it is, but something about them can be really intense, especially with my Amiibo.

 

[Bearbuddy4]

Fighting the Infamous Golden Captain Falcon players. These F%c(s always use a gold skin and they are always really good with the falcon (but who isnt really). I know its my sacred duty to beat this gold jerkoff when he enters the field. I burn the S*&$ out of them with my chubbyzard's flamethrower, they always approach the same 2 ways, either dash attack or this awful sliding grab that never misses.
