How much do you care about winning?

[Launcelot111]

It really depends on the game.

If I'm playing Smash Bros, I get legit mad when I lose (because there's a good chance the person I lost to was c-sticking).

c sticking?

i don't know a single person, competitive or casual, who doesn't use the c stick...

I never use the c-stick. I either charge the smash all the way or use a different move. Anyway, the person I'm thinking of as I write this played as Roy and mastered the art of not moving at all and just c-sticking anyone who came near him. Roy's c-stick smashes are crazy fast, so depending on who I was, it would be a very long match. Between the Roy and the occasional Pikachu c-stick/thunder spam, I was not a happy camper. Lost story short, most people use the c-stick, but he truly c-sticked. When Brawl came out and he tried the shake-smash option with the wiimote, his game fell apart

I generally only play single-player.

However, I do like winning sometimes, but mostly it just matters if I am enjoying myself. If I am having a good enough time playing with others and everyone is laid back, I don't mind if we lose a few games. Sometimes you have a good gaming session, and sometimes you have a bad one. I usually stop playing multi-player games when 'winning' has very obviously overridden 'fun'. Or we get the Team Captain that no one appointed and eventually also turns into Captain Obvious. Someone yelling at me, whether it's my fault or not, does not a fun time make. It may be time for Captain McRagey-Pants to find another hobby.

In single-player, I prefer that I progress as a player. This may or may not mean that I "win". For example, in Tetris, you can really try to top your previous efforts.

In multi-player, I don't need to win, but I definitely don't like getting stomped all over.

oh i'm familiar with roy, i used him in melee as my secondary, and ike is my primary in brawl, but i'm not a spammer of the c stick, i use it only when i have them near an edge

but he used the wii mote on brawl!?!? once again, everyone i know plugs that gamecube controller in for brawl, if you use the wii mote you are at a severe disadvantage.

I play to win, WHILE having fun.


I can lose, and for the most of the part, I usually have fun too anyways. Except if I am losing HORRIBLY (Spawn camped in FPS half the match, begin the first to die in a co op game, and stuff like that), otherwise I dont usually mind that.

It depends on whether or not I'm good at the thing we're competing in.
