Its up to the player to learn how to beat a move or tactic they are having trouble dealing with. If you simply stop using it then you are cheating them out of the experience of learning how to beat it, you are hindering their growth. By doing that you are being a total asshole by keeping them from getting good. Getting stunned is a punishment for not blocking or retreating when you should and the same thing as above, if you are not helping them get better you are a filthy dickhead for hindering their growth.
As others mentioned before, if my opponent fails to respond properly to the same stuff over and over, they deserve the chance to figure it out. No way I’m gonna stop as thats the only way they can improve. I would be salty to take a win knowing that it was based on me having NOT to deal with stuff I couldn’t handle before in the match.
If you lag you go back and throw lots of jabs, people usually understand and wait. If it’s really rollbacky you’re fucked anyways because it won’t go away so you will have to play it out but sometimes there is some short lag spikes.
Since the new option I rematch all the time, kind of a personnal etiquette of mine. Only if it was really laggy I decline.
And above all don’t ragequit but sadly not everyone respect this one.
Some people are giving you good and advice and some people are fucking with you.
Here is the etiquette: Win. Do whatever it takes to win. Stunning your opponent is a GOOD thing. If your opponent can’t “reply to a lame attack”, do that move 1,000 times and win the match. It’s not your fault if your opponent didn’t study enough to learn how to defend it. The idea isn’t to have a close match, the idea is to win.
It’s really patronising and condescending to not play to win using all the possible tactics. Rage quit is the only no no as that clearly breaks the rules. Rematch is optional, I only decline it if the connection is terrible.
The game has a lot of rock/paper/scissors to it, so if I can beat you perfect by spamming fireballs then I will do that. No offense, but it’s not my fault you don’t know how to counter that.
There’s nothing in terms of gameplay I refrain from doing out of respect for my opponent. I will, however, never taunt him for being not as good as me. I do taunt occasionally when I run a second time into a ragequitter because those guys don’t deserve any better but that’s about it.
