Well, I've been playing SSBB with other people online on basic brawl. I like the game and to see how well others stack against me. (Though I'm usually the first to die, which really annoys me XP) I've won only a couple of times, but in the end I have fun with it.
What I find really annoying in these matches are some of the people who choose not to get involved in the fights.
Here's an example.
A couple days ago I got on my Wii and joined a group of fighters. There was Pikachu(me) Star Fox, Ike (God I hate him), and Luigi. We all fought on the Zelda stage. Pretty big place to fight. Anyway soon as the match starts me, Fox and Ike are already at eachothers throats.
Explosions, fire, eletricity cover the screen. Its only thirty seconds into the game and I'm the first one to go flying through the air courtesy of Ikes cheep smash attack. DX
during my little flight in orbit though. My screen pans out and reveals to me Luigi settling on the VERY EDGE OF THE ARENA USING THE TAUNT BUTTON REPEATEDLY!
Now the taunt doesn't annoy me. The fact that he hadn't been damaged or even moved from his spot did. I decided to try and involve him in the brawl. We exchange a few blows before Star fox and Ike decide to join the fray. Soon I get stuck between the two fighters and I did my best to introduce them to Pikachu electric spin attack.
By the time they hit the air. I suddenly realize something. . .
Luigi is gone, AGAIN!
...wtf?
Curious, I run away from the fighters and soon find Luigi already settling himself on the OTHERSIDE OF THE SCREEN AGAIN!
By the time I try to reach him though, the annoucers last countdown comes on. So with only a few seconds left, I rush over to Luigi wanting to KO him at least ONCE before the fight was over. His damage was around eighty to hundred percent maybe. . . I kinda forgot. But I was sure it had to be high, because I used Pikachu rocket smash move and flew through the air. Wanting to send Luigi through the wall.
That was when the player suddenly showed me Luigis special downward smash attack just he dodged my attack, putting me right over the stage and smashing me down to hell. Gaining him a point.
Once the clocks gone. We suddenly have a sudden death match. Can you guess who?
If you guesed Ike and Luigi than I hate you, because your right. In the end, It was Luigi that won that little fight. Letting his ass become to winner of the match while me and Fox shared third place.
After that event, I think I used the "F" word so loud that my neighbors dog started to bark because of it.
Moral of the Story?
I really hate squatters.
But seriously people. I try to play the game to have some fun. The luigi guy won only because he didn't actually involve himself in the part of the game that actually involved BRAWLING. That annoys me so much. I'm sick of just thinking of it.
A couple other squatters appeared in my matches, but thankfully, none of them won.
Like I said before, don't be a squatter, just play the game already. I don't care if its apart of some fancy cheap strategy. It's lame and unfair to other people who want to match their skills against other people and win. Not let someone else do all the work for them and then claim the kill with one attack.
