Aside from certain FPS titles, fighters are the most susceptible to trolling or griefing. In Shooters a griefer would be someone who finds glitches in the game and uses them to their advantage, turns on his team via friendly fire, or something along those lines.
In fighters trolling can go beyond simple trash talking to using the same move over and over again and beating the guy. I believe there was a Vanilla SF4 match where a guy is using Sagat, some dudes heckle him for using SRK, and he proceeds to beat one guy down just by using SRK. Taunting is another one. But that depends on the situation and if you’re using a character like Dan or something.
I’m curious if these two scenarios are considered trolling or not:
This happens in every fighter. You’re playing a dude, it’s a see-saw matchup, you win one he wins one, or maybe he’s getting streaked or you’re getting streaked. Then he picks the character you’re using, and starts doing a lot of random moves or sometimes just beats you down. Depends on the game. I’ll admit I’ve been beasted in KOF. Now is this considered trolling to intentionally mirror? 9 times out of 10 the guy who decides to mirror is not picking his main character. Sometimes they do this to try to learn the character, but other times… I don’t know. What do you guys think?
Another one that happened to me a few days ago. You play a guy, he picks the worst character in the game that everyone would acknowledge as the worst. Whether it be Dan in SSF4, Seth in OG KOF02, Sean in 3S, etc. He picks the worst character, you beat him like 2-3 times in a row, landslide victory. You tell him ‘okay, dude play serious now’ and he gets pissy and leaves. I played a dude in 3S, he used Sean, I beat him 3 times, and I told him that, nothing more, and he called me a troll and this and that and the other and leaves. Is what I said considered trolling?
