You let them win one round, by not doing anything, if they’re about lose.
Not exactly a scrub story, but the worst thing that I’ve seen was an Alpha 3 tournament at an anime convention where the brackets where made by the order in which you signed up at the tourney. I told one of the guys running the tournament that how could they do the brackets like that, and he told me with a straight face: “Do you expect me to rearrange them or something?”. I couldn’t believe that, and so me and my friends ended up fighting between us in the first rounds.
Holy shit, I’m going to log in just to say that story is awesome.
The only good con tournaments I’ve ever gone to are in Durham NC, but that’s probably because the game room is ran by us lol.
Last other con I went to that had GG were using xbox Reload in a LOCKED STEEL BOX, so even if you wanted to use a converter or something, you were outta luck. This was less than a year ago. But yeah…your experience takes the cake. Awesome.
Just happened last Decemebr…i destroy this guy in MvC2. He comes back a couple minutes later, puts in his quarters, and says “Let’s dance”, trying to sound cool and badass. He made it seem like this was some kind of epic battle or something. I killed him again pretty badly.
And then there’s the occasional “i can beat you up in real life” comment, while scrub walks away.
A long long time ago at P1 in the Metreon I walk in and case the joint and found the best situation possible. Some guy was playing MvC2 with Ryu, while his friend was coaching him
I plop down knowing exactly what I’m going for and pick Sakura/Dan and I forget. His friend is putting out commands for him to do and he instantly does them. I kill two of his characters until Ryu is left, prime for picking. Dan comes out and the taunting beings. Many taunts, every kind. His friend is like “HIT HIM HE’S TAUNTING” and instead I just taunt more. Then I eye my super bar and know exactly what to do. I get him in the corner into a blocking habit and then throw out an Otoko Michi and it hits. He NEVER saw that move before because right after he went, “…what the fuck was that?” And my dumb ass was full of smiles. His friend beat me with his high tier team, but I really didn’t care, that was just too good
I also destroyed this kid like 8 times in a row recently. He was talking shit, he got what was coming, until finally he asked me how to play good. I when he said “will you teach me” I instantly thought of the scene in Kung Pow where they teach that one guy karate wrong as a joke. So I gave him some purposely wrong tips, as a joke and he said he’d try them out and left. I laughed
I always think of myself as a nice person that doesn’t like to beat up scrubs but… I’m an asshole
I was having a huge winning streak at my local arcade. Straight beasting everybody, with K-shotos.
After I finished beasting somebody, I get a pat on the shoulder, and this guy who went to my college says that im good, but not good enough to face him. So of course, I told him to show me what he’s got.
So he picks his c-groove team, and I of course ocv his ass with ryu, finishing him with a shinshoryuken on his last character. Guy looked at me, and told me
“K, ure better than me, Ill admit it” and leaves.
two months later, i get a call from a friend of mine (he doesnt play sf, but knows my love for it)
Raw: yo Fred, Ihab just introduced me to this guy, Andres, and someway, somehow, we started talking about u, sf and ure exploits. Anyways, he says he’ll kick ure ass in Cvs2. I of course laughed at him, and betted with him 200$ that u would destroy him. To which he accepted. So what do u say.
Fred: LOOL, man, I know who the top players are in Montreal, and I have never heard of “Andres”, and even if I did, ure on.
So, we set up the date and location. My friends bring Andres to the arcade, where i was waiting and playing against other peeps. Apparently, the guy recognized me, backed off the bet and left the arcade immediately. It was of course, the same dude as before. arrogant fools are funny
I’m in a shitty mood, but after reading that, I’m laughing my ass off.
Food literally flew out of my mouth as I read the “You’re good, but not good enough to face me” part.
after placing 3rd in a local CVS2 tourney, a friend/co-worker was telling all our other friends (who play fighting games) at work the results
one guy I worked with apparently didn’t like it and mentioned he could beat me under any of the following circumstances…
-Dan (any groove)
-Orochi Iori, Evil Ryu or Shin Akuma
-his special EX groove (custom) that he came up with
I quit last month and I still haven’t got my match he promised. 
a few days ago i beat this guy in 3s and cvs2, basically raped the shit out of him. altho i didn’t even do it on purpose, just spam akuma’s lk hurricane kick (i am not a serious akuma player, just choose the character to go easy on him) to cut him some slack…unfortunately i ocv’d him…
so he walks up to me hella fucking pissed, and asked me why i didn’t give him rounds in 3s or go easy on him in cvs2 (in hong kong they have this rule where they have to give rounds to ppl instead of raping them all 3 rounds, or else they make u pay them back). so i said there’s no such rule here and told him to calm the shit down. i guess i hurt his ego or something and he threatens me like he would bring a gang of ppl to beat me up
hongers are so ganster man…
I used to win tonnes of sc2 games with just b6 (the quick, knockdown, step up slice to the head)…
where I come from scrubs complain about RC, CC, throws, cross ups, corner traps, anti air, meter building, rushdown, and etc. I was told that me and my friends were skilless losers.
I’ve been told that I was an “unethical player” and that if I’m going to play I should use a character that I can’t use to give them a chance.
