Unhealthy Smashing

[Daybreak]

Have you ever played Smash with people who feel like 'one' match (of smash) is the deciding factor for the rest of their/your life?

This someone is a bit out of the box and has to elaborate on all of their victories (and losses) as if they will never get another chance to do so. Often times they will taunt excessively or the second you're KO'd. ( I don't have a problem with taunting since it shows confidence, but there is a fine line for those with a lack thereof). Their attitude changes the air for everyone as it is no longer an enjoyable environment. It's as if they feel smash is a life or death situation and it is urgent to win at all costs.

*Intense face activated*

I try to simply lead by example, but I feel they are so intertwined with being perfect and pleasing others that they never have a good time. And there is always a reason for their loss; as they are never accountable.

What do you think about it? How do you deal with this kind of problem?

People like that make me smile. There is nothing you can really do about that problem but let it roll off of you. People like that put too much importance in the wrong things.

Yeah, I feel there really isn't a solution to the problem too, they need to learn it on their own. I like that bit you said about putting too much importance in the wrong things, hits the nail on the head.

Just food for thought, I have been running into quite a lot of people like this lately. It's just a good reminder(for myself) to let it roll by. If the bug bites everyone else they're just as bad.

I just figure that it's not worth getting worked up over. There is nothing you or I can do to change their behavior. There will always be people like this. Besides, these people make winning even more worthwhile .

Played with that type of person? I am that type of person.

I depend on Smash as an outlet for my limitless stress and depression way too much. So when I'm doing really badly, as I usually am, that backfires and I get more stressed out than ever.

Sounds like someone needs a hug. Come here.

I may be a bad person for it, but I love provoking that type of player. Styling on them while they try to play "super serious" just to infuriate them makes it way too easy. I don't mean to be mean or anything, I just think they need to calm down a little.
