This just happened to me recently. I was Brawling my Bro with Olimar (and I play a GOOD Olimar) and i was owning his Diddy Kong Bigtime. one match, I decided to give him a chance by not going as hard, and he beat me. NOW hes all high and mighty with Diddy Kong, thinking he can beat everyone. i tried to tell him i went easy on him. then he procceded to complaining that he beat me fair and square, which gets VERY ANNOYING. I tried to rematch him with Olimar, but he refused. So, I then tried proving him wrong with R.O.B. (another of my mains) and owned him. stil thinking hes better then me, kicked me, threw the controller away, and stormed upstairs. so then i used good ol' Wolfs FAMOUS quote on him, while he was going upstairs. "Your good, but im BETTA!"
has this ever happened to you, where you let someone win and they get all high n' mighty with you?
Yeah. I'm currently in college right now, and I know quite a few Smashers here, but none are competitive Smashers like I am (Have been a competitive Smasher since 2002 or so with Melee, continuing with Brawl). So of course there isn't much of a challenge.
There are a few guys who are really good for non-competitive players, but I pretty much constantly wreck them 4-1 or 4-2 with all of my mains when I'm putting forth maybe 80-90%% effort. These are the guys who have also played SSB64 and SSBM, so they know what they're doing, they just haven't really taken it to the next level yet. Most of the time they legitimately kill me once or twice in a match. However, there will be occasions where I'll slow down against them to let them land a hit, ESPECIALLY when they're down to their last stock and have decent damage, and I still haven't lost a life yet (I think 4 stocking them is a little too much so I let them take at least 1 off). So of course sometimes they do a little trashtalking when they kill me, but it's all in good fun.
HOWEVER, I do know another person who plays a very scrubby Lucario and Lucas (Roll -> smash, shield grabs, projectile spam, little to no airgame, etc etc). He really doesn't have that much skill to be honest, but thinks he's hot ****. Anyway, one time I'm playing against him for fun. I take it fairly easy on his Lucario but still embarass him with some spikes and edgehogs, which cause him to yell out "WHAT THE **** WAS THAT?" or "THATS SO CHEAP!" After one of my kills I decided to do some dash dancing and SHFF aerials, to which he responded "CALM DOWN." Yeah, total noob. I figured he would just ***** and moan when I did certain things that are part of my normal game, so I decided to let him win the next match. I still kept it close, but allowed him to win 4-3. After that all **** broke loose and he went around bragging that he beat me. Such an ignorant scrub.
Side note: There's another Smasher I know, but I can constantly beat him 5-1. After a while we set the stocks to 2 and I let him have close matches (I would win 2-1, 2-0, or even let him win). It makes him happy of course, but at least he doesn't go around bragging...
