Acceptable john: Having a broken hand. (Funny thing, my friend still placed 25/close to 100 at Midwest Circuit East Championships, despite his broken hand.)

Wifi and HDTV lag is acceptable too, but I think that john doesn't even need to be said: It's just accepted as universal truth.

Not acceptable johns, EVER: 'Ganondorf is cheap' and 'FLUDD is so overpowered' (the former from Ganonraping noobs, and the later from FLUDD gimping trash talking noobs every stock.).


EDIT:

DDM, I completely forgot you quoted me for your sig, so seeing my name first thing upon opening this thread surprised me. :laugh:

"You only won because - oh, wait... that's right, you didn't."

EDIT: 400th post! Hurray!

Make sure you have your Wiimote Batteries all the way into the Wiimote, fully charged and fully conneced. If they fall out or stop working, it is only your fault.

Except for when Female Brawlers act ... ... ... distracting ... ... ... , I can't think of an acceptable John... Oh, "You won because You're M2k". There's 1 that works.

Funny pre-game john:

"If you win, it's only because you play this more than me."

Is that essentially saying you won because you're better? Is it saying that you're worse because you play more? I'm confused...

Rofl; someone loses and they say...

"Darn it! I'm having a bad day..."

And yet, they say that EVERY day...

"I was in awe of your epicness that I couldn't focus."

That...I'll accept.

The only thing I see as a reasonable excuse would be your controller not working in some areas, such as the L, R button. Mine doesn't shield sometimes. So whenever I attempt to roll or spotdodge, I'll either run away or duck and that gets me hit either way. Another one would be absence of the game. If you haven't played for about a month or so, chances are you're rusty. I tend to john beforehand.
