I change to the character my opponent was just using, but usually only if the character is my main. Often this does actually teach them something about how to play.When I'm playing a match in For Glory, I finish, go for a second match, and then find he/she just changed to my own character. I feel like he/she is trying to ''teach me how to use my character''.
This. I feel like they do this too so they can show how my character is "easy mode". Fortunately, I'm good enough with my characters that I usually win, thus shutting them up and forcing them to switch characters. A notorious example is when this girl played two other characters before playing my color RosaLuma to just get 2 stocked. Proceed to her immediately leaving.When I'm playing a match in For Glory, I finish, go for a second match, and then find he/she just changed to my own character.

So, you'd rather they lead with a top tier?Relying on Mac or a top tier next match after you beat them. It often shows desperation in my eyes.
I hate top tier dependency altogether, though I know there's very few that actually like the character, and I respect that. Unfortunately my extensive hatred for some of the characters just occasionally blinds my sight of that, While everyone is different, I just wish there was greater diversity than just the "higher ups" if you will. For me, I was a Pit/Bowser main in Brawl, and I enjoyed using them for all the 6 years. Now I'm a Pit/Palutena main in Smash 4 and still like my decisions... despite Pit being a bit different.So, you'd rather they lead with a top tier?
Really, I get your point, if you get your butt handed to you by a Luigi or something, and then switch to a sheik just to preserve your pride, you deserve no respect, but there's people like me. I was a sonic and lucario main in brawl, and those are the only two I'm really good with. I am trying to give every character at least 2 hours of online play before I pick a main for smash 4, but when somebody just destroys me with captain falcon or sheik because I was testing olimar, you can bet I'm switching to a high tier character
I'm the same way; I play the characters that I enjoy as a character, not because of their position on a tier list. (which is why I main Yoshi in Melee, the Smash that I play most.) I have Captain Falcon as my secondary because he's extremely fun to play.I hate top tier dependency altogether, though I know there's very few that actually like the character, and I respect that.

Still, it's painful being in my position, but I prefer to be this way than be the majority going to the higher ups just because of how good they are.
In defense of people who do that (I am one of them), there are many reasons people can do that. I am saying this from my point of view, so bear with me... You can just be outright boring to fight, if it goes to Sudden death or it is just a very boring match, I will outright quit after I win. Another thing is people have stuff to do, I am doing college and in highschool, so I will always play online if I can because offline does get boring, and if I have to leave I am not going to play more than one match. At least for me there have been many cases where I am already late because of the match, so another would just make it worse. The final thing is FG is casual, there is no rule saying I have to play you twice, if you want to bring out your main how about play him first instead, and get a feel for their skill?I don't mind spam, or taunting, or little mac. What gets me is win quitting. I usually lead with random, and if they get a lucky win out I fight somebody really good with sheik or rosalina or something I get destroyed. I would usually switch to my main (lucario, cuz that counter is boss), but they always quit as if I'm a noob. Makes me mad, we play best out of three here for a reason
My bad for not being at all considerate, that was just my rant. I don't blame anyone for leaving if they have stuff to do, or if the match portrayed me as a bad player not worth paying again (whenever I get olimar from random, the matches are so boring that I want to quit), but it seems like every time I play a decent player with one of my worse characters (say, Kirby), if it goes down to the wire, both on last stock >100%, whenever I win, they want a rematch, and whenever they win, they quit.

It's just a topThe Spirit of the Game is to play with what you got. Just because it (a play style) is annoying to you, it doesn't make it any less viable. Winning should be about having fun and showing your skill while having fun.
Spammers, Taunters, and Dodge-Rollers are Technics of Play. If you don't learn how counter these, they will always be your down fall, especially if you take the game waaaaaayyy to seriously.
Don't put people(and thyself) in a standard of how you expect people to play.

Why is there an automatic assumption that switching to Little Mac is going to lose because they'll play him like a scrub? I mean, yes, there are a large amount of scrubs who play Little Mac online, but I switch to him after a match and have gotten a fair share of wins doing so. I don't switch because he's "OP" or anything like that, but because he can be hard to play and actually has good match-ups that my other mains may otherwise have trouble with. Mac isn't some 'scrub character' just because many scrubs think that he's easy to play and they're good with him. He's just played by lots of scrubs, but he can actually be difficult to play and is a good character.Switching to Little Mac is annoying (albeit very fun to beat up), but the worst thing possible is probably when someone doesn't stop ROLLING! Ugh... It gets very annoying when an opponent continuously rolls, so much so that not a single attack hits them, and yet the somehow hit all their attack... -_-
Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to offend either Mac or Mac players, but generally 9 times out of 10, if someone switches to Little Mac, they're not very good as him. Now you do come across the odd pro Mac, and that's a fun, challenging match, but then there's a whole lot more players that use the predictable "run, punch, run, punch, instantly uses and misses KO punch" approach, and never work out exactly why you're standing at the edge, shield grabbing every time... -_-Why is there an automatic assumption that switching to Little Mac is going to lose because they'll play him like a scrub?

I'm guilty of this lolRelying on Mac or a top tier next match after you beat them. It often shows desperation in my eyes.
Two words... Shield grab...I'm guilty of this lol
Little Mac is such a brain dead, low skill-cap character in Sm4sh that anybody can pick him up immediately after getting stomped and have a reasonably good chance of winning.
Brain-dead? At higher skill levels Mac can take a lot of skill to play effectively because of his huge weaknesses (recovery and grab range). Yes, it's easy to win with him at low skill levels, but to play effectively against skilled players he can take a lot of skill to use because of how easy it is to take a stock from him.I'm guilty of this lol

Y no like for Villager? o3oI hate fighting Lucarios, Links, Villagers and people wh like to make the match reaaaaaally loooong.
A lot of Villagers online are extremely campy with their Lloid Rockets and it's very annoying to fight. The matches take ages and aren't fun when they're strectched out like that. I've no problem with people that play Villager properly, but some of these Villagers online will just spam side-special and when you get near they roll away and do it again.Y no like for Villager? o3o
Personally, I hardly ever see another Villager online. When I do, though, it's usually a nice fight. Guess yall might just be a bit unlucky in getting the noobVillagers =PA lot of Villagers online are extremely campy with their Lloid Rockets and it's very annoying to fight.

I love that moment when you meteor smash a yoshi, It feels so satisfying.When you beat a person so bad that they switch to Little Mac or a "top-tier" character (like Yoshi, Rosalina, Diddy Kong, and Sheik for example) in the second match. It's a clear sign that they are desperate and they only care about winning...
It's also funny how they switch to those characters and they horribly suck as them.
