Trashtalking?

Meh. Being a competitive Call of Duty player, I had to face a lot of people who trashtalked often. Until I destroyed them that is. Then they gave the good old "you're hacking" excuse. I miss those days.
Playing people who trashtalk on Call Of Duty is annoying and really a trial of patience. Actually, most people on XBox. Half the people you end up meeting are racist, half of them make things too personal too fast, and half of them trash talk when they have no idea what they're doing.

That's right. 150% of aggravation.

It' s that effective.

I may be overreacting, but I'm probably not.

On the other hand, trashtalking between friends is always good, because nobody really goes to far, even when it gets personal. It's usually always funny, because it's just a bunch of friends having a good time, not some random person being an ******* and getting on your case.

I just let people trash talk and when they lose 150 to 40 I get to say that they lost to a noob...

but when its not so serious its usually exaggerated....

"LOL ur so bad u killd urself with nade"

"well at least i didnt SPAWN kill myself like you did"

Ahem..

Any ways back on the topic of trash talking, i ussually don't trash talk. I let my actions do the talking XD. Only time i do its when some one pisses me off from hacking or just being plain stupid and saying they're good. Can't wait to get my Double Barrel in World at War. Shoot the hell out of them to kingdom come.
Exactly, they can trash talk all they want. But when everyone else playing along with you guys see the final score, they'll realize who the real scrub is.

If the whole world were to keep trashtalking on anything potentially competative, the word 'Modesty' wouldn't exist and society would not even look into their flaws and let alone, people would consider themselves perfect. Ridiculous!

I guess you make a good point lol. I feel like there should be an age requirement before you start playing games online, otherwise we'd have too much trashtalking...

Age has nothing to do with it; rather, it's the maturity level of the individual that really matters.

On the other hand, trashtalking is part of online games, and it's not going anywhere soon. Hell, it adds some flavor to the game at times; you just have to know how to handle it :p

Good point, although I do feel like there is generally a correlation between age and maturity level. Not to say that old people are automatically mature, and young people are automatically immature. But I certainly do think that in general, older folks are more mature.

And yeah I guess trashtalking is a part of gaming to an extent. But to be quite honest, there is absolutely no need for people to make fun of other's mothers or curse or other things like that.

Trashtalking, my one and true foe, especially when it comes to people I don't know. I have experienced this recently at my local Play n' Trade while I was playing Brawl. This kid that my brother recognized challenged me. It sorta went like this:
*selecting stage* (Final Destination ftw)
Kid: Ready 2 get yo a** beating?
K64: .............
*midbattle*
Kid: THAT'S NOT FAIR!! YOU'RE CHEATING!
K64: (Well you wanted 2 put the f****n Smash Ball on so you brought this on yourself.)
*near ending*
Kid: I QUIT!!

Anyone with a similar senario?

Yeah it happens alot to me when non competitive players think that they can take on a competitive one, which apparently isn't too rare for some reason.

Trashtalking is involved in almost anything that is competitive, this even includes video games that can be competitive. You saw this in games as far back as who could score the highest points in Donkey Kong to the present day competitive games.

Nothing wrong with trashtalking actually, since it brings alot of hype, if anyone has been to Evo or has seen the MvC2 scene...my goodness...the trashtalking in there is awesome! That just adds more to the hype, or how about back in the OldSchool days of the heat that used to go around between Nor. Cal and S. Cali...lmao, those where some of the best.

The only thing I won't tolerate however is someone threatening to hurt another person violently (as in threats)...I remember a certain someone doing that previous to Evo2k7, he was excluded from entering that tournament, however lucky for him, the people doing it where willing to turn it aside when he came back asking to be reinstated.

Talking smack is fine, however just as long as it doesn't get psychical or get down to life threatening people, which although small, has occured.

Trash talking is cool, i just dont do it.

When people do it to me i dont talk back and just play. There no point of having a ferocious bark if the dog is in fact a puppy.

Alright, I may be able to to take a few trashtalks, but I'm certainly not the person who is going to put up with it the rest of my life. In this case, there should be a sure limit to trashtalking e.g. they take it too far or concerning they trashtalk so much like they are not noticing that they look like total fools.

The example you've just stated is perfect! Now, this is the perfect example of why I don't like trashtalking personally... I don't mean to be a hypocrite but I do boast a little, however it's not the serious kind of boasting... e.g. I pull out an Arnold Schwachenedger voice and just say " I'm so gooood maaaan..." and my friends and me all laugh, In the other hand the serious trash talking I recall is when they trashtalk like "you won't even take a life off me" and they get so into it, people like that don't even regard it as a joke. You could laugh or say "jokes mate!"

I usually only trash talk at LAN parties: Its 3 in the morning, I've pumped my body so full of caffeine/whatever else is in an energy drink with so little sleep that I can't think think straight. The things that get out of my mouth...

anyways, good times.

i scream lots of cusswords really loud when i play with some people
its usually when i get hit tho so it deffinetly isnt thrashtalking haha
no i really don't like it, it's stupid and draws attention away from the game. I really can't respect people who do that **** to distract/annoy/insult their opponent (to improve their chances of winning)

I like a fair fight, so I don't trashtalk to people I don't know. But when they use items in Brawl (and I don't know them), it's hard to tolerate. Oh I what I would give to go to a tournament. I haven't gone 2 1 in 2 years.

I never trashtalk against people. Im not that kind of person to just start trashtalking whenever I win over someone, its just so extremely meaningless.

Sure, trashtalking in sarcastic and hilarious ways with your friends is fun, but not when playing against people you dont know or start taking everything seriously. Having FUN is part of gaming, right?

Edit: Lol this thread was last touched 11/19. P:

Whenever I'm playing Halo 3 on Xbox LIVE now and I win and the other team gets mad and starts swearing, I just tell them "thanks for the rank up" when my rank increases and trust me, it REALLY pisses them off. They start calling me a "n00b" and challenging me to a "1v1" because apparently when you lose inside Halo 3 now, you're supposed to automatically challenge the other team to a rematch or 1v1 someone on the other team.

After playing Xbox live for about a year, I started to talk more and more trash. Playing Brawl, I throw in some uncalled for language at times, even at tournies.

I dont trash talk. I think its flatout disrespectful amongst friends.(if your serious) but in a different environment like tournaments is reasonable.

theres nothing wrong with playful trash talking i do that sometimes. like tell my friend his 6 year old brother is better than him.
Lol this post is all in the past since i picked up Super street fighter 2 turbo HD remix it feels like i play better when i do but i dont trash talk vs people i know

I like trash talkers. Just the other day, guys send really harsh message how my team should get ready to be this and that cause we are abunch of these and those, you get the point. They lose badly and say its cause they didnt have all thier team mates, then re-challenge us the next day with all thier friends. They lose even worse and just quit the room and we never heard from them again. Talking trash in spite only sets you up for that sweet sweet fall.
