thats just mean. When I was learning to play ICs last year, I would play peeps from school, and when I wobbled them, they would hit and yell at me, and make me mess up. but if I played fox or falcon and combo'd the heck out of them, they didn't care.
wobbling someone in friendlies is a ****move and you deserve punishment for doing so. comboing someone really hard is full of respect and your oponents will have fun while being *****(or a little mad, but thats okay).
wobbling is just... an *******. i too rage at whem my noob brother autopilots my falcon with a dumb sheik combo, wobbling is like a billion times worse.

Wobbling in friendlies is legitimate training. If you play every IC friendly with this conception that wobbling is some horrendous broken threat and that it should be avoided in friendlies on account of some tortured sense of respect, you may end up fighting an IC player in wobbling-legal tourney with no experience in the scenarios in which you get wobbled in addition to a lack of experience in how to escape it. Granted, I think approaching every friendly completely seriously is neither realistic nor conducive but gameplay experience has to come from somewhere and treating wobbling as if it's cheap free-kill button is ultimately counterproductive.

If someone asks you to stop wobbling them, it's respectful to stop doing that but it is still something you should expect to eventually run into in a tournament setting.

i remember, the night before pound 2 at Kaiser's, Chillin played vs. neo/some other people in a 99 stock match. In an attempt to prepare him for m2k we'd all call out the stupid random habits that would get chillin punished. Good times.
