So I don’t normally share incidents like these, but I think this is worth sharing. So I’m finishing up a morning SSF4 session, just got done with a 10-match set with a buddy of mine. I’ve got about 10-15 minutes before I need to leave for work, so I look for a quick Endless lobby. I hop in one, hosted by GetYoSmack. I’ve been trying to scrape the rust off my Abel play so I pick Abel. Surprisingly, so does he. Anyway, it’s an ok match, which I win, although he does go “shit” or “damn” when I land a few things. My headset is broken, so all his talking is coming through my speakers, which are usually set pretty low.
Get back to the lobby, and there’s a new player there: GOT THAT DRO NJ. Apparently, they are friends, because I can hear them talking to each other over the speakers, but I can’t make out what’s being said. The new player and I start our match, I pick Abel, he pick Gief…okay. Counterpick maybe? I decided to play defensive the first round to see how he plays. It quickly becomes obvious that he’s not that good, he knows a few combos, and some crossup stuff etc. But it’s Gief, so I stay careful. It also becomes obvious that he talks a LOT of shit. Like: “Get the fuck outta here” when he lands spd, and “You better run, kid”. He’s also LOUD. I hear all this clearly over my speakers. He also tells me I suck when he wins the first round. Okay…this from a guy that had no footsies, or punishes, just spamming away. All right. I proceed to take the next 2 rounds, playing smart and stuffing his wakeup Ultra 1 (lol) TWICE with regular TT. He’s yelling and cursing the whole time. I finish him with Breathless as he tries to chip me to death with lariat. Him and his buddy go apeshit, cussing me out and bitching.
So it’s me against the Abel player again, and this time I bust out my main, Rufus. I beat him first round, and I get him down to within 1% of his bar before I lose the perfect because I miss my link. So I’m like, I’m gonna let this guy sweat. I let him take me down to like 5% life, to get him all excited, before I end the match by just jabbing him out of recovery of one of his moves. More yelling and screaming.
Get back to the lobby, more yelling, then…
“Host has removed you from the session”
Heh. I made sure to send each of them a hearty “lol” or “lol u mad” before I shut down and leave for work. I had to go anyway, but that kick was the icing on the salty cake. I know this is technically gloatmail, but I would have never sent it had they not yelled and cussed me out for two entire matches. Gutter trash.
