Do you panic or get scared when you're the last man standing?

[JochemHippie]

I'm pretty much always on my own in multiplayer games.
I really, really don't like fighting along side other people. It just doesn't work for me.
So I usually just go out by myself and cap all the flags myself.

"Last Man Standing."-Halo Announcer.

When those three magic words are spoken, shit gets real. I think of a way to kill as many zombies as I can before I become infected. The music starts and the badassery begins! For a couple of seconds anyway, I usually get swamped.

Left 4 Dead. Expert. Fuck

Last man standing vs a Tank and the horde of specials that follow trying to run to the closet holding the entire rest of the team... Woo go pressure!


Interestingly, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 has the exact opposite when you have your last team member standing. You can be completely confident that you're going to destroy the other guy's entire team fairly often.

This miracle mechanic is known as... Level 3 X-Factor. Of course some characters have almost no X-Factor anchor potential (see X-23) but most characters get transformed into epic super versions of themselves.

Nova gets a piss easy infinite in Lvl 3 X-Factor for example

See also Dark Wesker Rises for the ultimate example of this. Fuckin' Wesker man.

Oh anyone who has SFXT can you tell me if anyone uses Pandora Mode effectively? It seems to have almost become a non-mechanic in most of the videos i've watched on SFXT.

I feel exhilarated, but when the match is over, I find myself shaking and my mouse sweaty.

In TF2, when we're about to lose.
-Switch to Soldier
-Equip the Equilizer
-After the loss is official, wait for a big group to come.
-Taunt.
-Light a cigar.

I enjoy the thrill of being chased by an endless wave of whatever's, so long as its done fairly

 

[BathorysGraveland]

I don't panic or get scared or anything like that. But I do tend to rush myself and thus, make silly mistakes. The reason I rush during these moments is because I don't want to hold everyone else up and waste their time, you know?

 

[Rock-nerd]

The panic is overshadowed by the feeling of pride i get when i win single-handedly.

 

[dessertmonkeyjk]

I just engage Ninja Mode and do what I can to not get caught.

 

[Major Chip]

Depends on the game. If it's a standard FPS then I often tend to fail miserably. However, in the ME3 multiplayer, I've wound up alone against a few guardians and combat engineers. Despite me being the weakest player (only rank 9), I managed to wipe everyone out.

My favourite though was in AVP (a flawed but fun little game for fanboys everywhere), I used to be pretty badass as a marine, usually surviving last man standing on infestation or giving them all hell on my way out.

 

[SEXTON HALE]

When it comes down to it that's my time to shine.

 

[spartandude]

I revel in it.
Especially like when in Space Marine when it's just me, my jump pack and axe, and a shit ton of orks.

i swear i just give in to the red thirst when that happens

OT
for me it depends on the game, when playing left for dead on the hardest difficulty and im the last one waiting for evac... well it gets hectic and all my team mates here is "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, OH FUCK ME THERES A TANK!"

When its something like Space Marine, as i said things get really fun and messy...

but when its an RTS, it gets interesting, i imediately turtle up and just try to make things as hard as possible, im going to lose but im going to see how long i can hold out for

 

[IrateDonnie]

I don't panic but I do tend to do awful if I'm last man standing. It sucks knowing your whole team is watching you play in spectator mode. Gears of War was the worst for me, last man with the entire other team is intimidating in that game.

 

[The Pinray]

I know I do. I usually always play a supporting role. I try to give my team a good back bone. (Medic in TF2, Biotic support in ME3) I never take a dominant kill machine role, which usually means I'm the one left alive when shit goes upside down (I focus on surviving to heal and rez and support).

I try to help, I've even won a few matches for the team, but I do panic like a 1950's housewife with a mouse in the kitchen.

 

[DSK-]

No, but I do get rather annoyed because I can't play to best of my ability due to a very bad connection and the majority of times I am out numbered

 

[bobmus]

Not so much then, but when I'm on a high streak or going for a perfection I get an adrenaline rush, which doesn't normally help!

 

[llew]

Panic? no. i start to cackle slowly while a slight grin spreads across my face turning into a massive grin with humongous laughter as i revel in the face of the odds against me! i then proceed to kick ass... no seriously the more difficult the opposition the better i get, proven fact...

 

[Nuclear_Suspect]

Me? I LOVE it!

Being the last guy is my opium, I'll run around like a lunatic chucking grenades down hallways where i have absolutely no reason to believe the other team is. Why? Because if they ARE down that hallway it makes it that extra bit fun.

If you lose, well thats ok, you were the last guy alive... but if you win.. wooo boy you can almost feel your pants getting tighter.. ahem...

So yes, quite, I am partial to enjoying being the last guy left alive.
