Oh, it gets better, Blight and annoying1359. He first blames it on the controller. So I said, "Ok, so maybe my controllers aren't in the best of conditions." We swapped controllers, and I still beat him. And he's like, "This is RIDICULOUS! How can you kill me at 35% (that was a Thunder Punch to Thunder Drop combo, coupled with the fact that he doesn't know meteor cancelling [yes, my main is Ganon...what gave it away?]) and I can't kill you at 135%?!?!?!?" He's still doing that repetitive up-b to up-b/forward aerial combo with the Doc. Anyway. He doesn't do pills, capes, tornado's, d/u/f smashes, or b/d/u-aerials. He sticks to those TWO moves, and he believes he should OWN. He blames his defeat on the controllers, and says, "I'll beat you next time when I bring mine in." Right-o.
So I begin to wonder, "How many victories will it take before he sees that:
a) he's just not that great,
b) it's not the controllers, the Gamecube (yes, he actually blamed the Cube for his defeat...MULTIPLE TIMES...this was when he brought his own controller in), or the character I chose, and that the reason for his defeat is simply his lack of skill or my "superior" skill ("superior" as in relative to his lack thereof)
c) grabbing does take skill to land (against a skillfull opponent), and that it's simply his fault for not evading the grab, and that grabbing is not a coward's move, and
d) simply because he's PLAYED THE GAME SINCE ITS RELEASE DATE (yes, he has played the game since its release date) does not automatically make him the Smash god?"
About 3 months, apparently.
So after a hard days work some weeks later, I came in to play a couple rounds with some friends, and guess who's there? That's right, he's back, and he's ITCHIN' for some Doc. Mario dittos. He sees me and says, "Are you SURE you want to play me? I've been kickin' some major *** today!" [insert maniacal laughter] (yes, he decided to laugh at that moment like a maniac). So I made him a deal. If he DOES indeed beat me into submission, I will become his slave for the rest of eternity. If he instead loses (I decided not say ownd, for this upcoming reason) to me while I only use ONE move (That's right, ONE MOVE!!! Which of course, excluded from it up-b for recovery) then he must suffer the consequences of being banned from the Gamecube for the rest of the month (I would've said year, but decided it was too harsh a sentence especially because he's just a n00b).
He seemed pleased at these rules. I even played him with his rules (the whole, 1 item per player, 40-stock, NO GRABBING, 2.0 damage ratio). I even decided to pick the SAME character. He had difficulty deciding who to be, seeing that in all the previous dittos we had, the outcome was always the same: It always ended with his defeat.
...
He was very angry at the end of the match. He didn't seem too pleased with my spotdodging. Or aerial dodging. ROLLING was even a surprise to him. I was surprised he even knew what the shield was. I even offered to teach him the ways of being a Smash Shinobi, but he told me that, "there's no way I should be winnning against him."
...
I like that feeling of serenity and overall happiness you get when someone that is uber annoying and anal decides to never hang out with you again.
