Gaming Arrogance

[11 Herbs 'n' Spices]

We've all done it.

Give an example of your gaming arrogance.

I'll start us off with a few beat-em-up realted ones:

After defeating an opponent in an I will turn your head and look nonchalently down the arcade as if the round you just one was a breeze even if I did win by the skin of my teeth.

Also, upon completing a game in the arcade, having drawn quite a crowd, I will just walk away and NOT watch the end sequence (unless I haven't seen it before of course).

Finish an opponent off with a move using one hand (or worse foot).

Patronisingly offer you opponent to increase the handicap level.

So there you go.

When and how do you be a gaming cunt?

[Polmon]

Saying "Hah! And I wasn't even trying" right after I win

Other than that, laughing my arse off while I beat my brother at SF2 (on the SNES) was obviously remarkably cuntish of me as I was promptly rewarded with a punch in the head.

[Jim Miles]

I am a bit good at Tekken Tag. I've been playing it with some people in my block at Uni the past few days taking challengers at 150% energy to my 50%.

Yesterday I saw a guy playing the Virtua Tennis 2 machine in the student union and asked if I could challenge him. He said "okay, as long as you don't win". Sure enough I didn't. I won one game in the match to love and he won the other three. That reaks of patronising letting-me-win-that-one-game! But he was a cool guy and good at Virtua Tennis 2.

Deserved!

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

I like to give patronizing advice to my opponent, so they feel they're even more crap than they really are.

[Pupponvesh 2]

I once beat the whole of the NTSC-UK arcade "crew" on Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution in a winner stays on session. I only got hit 4 times in over 27 matches (I counted). After I won my last match (they ran out of money to challenge me) I turned to the whole bunch (about 8 of them) and shouted in front of about 50 people in the arcade;

"THAT SHOWED YOU, YA FUCKING IMPATIENT IMPORTING MUTHAFUCKING CUNTS!!!!"

It felt good.

Doing a 4 block parry then 2 in one fire ball into uppercut level 3 super finish with Ryu on Street Fighter 3rd Strike.

I didn't say anything.

My opponent didnt either, he just sat there

and kept sitting there.

hahahah!

[ianwuk]

I tend not to gloat when I win, I tend to be like Japanese players and give my opponent tips, advice, or credit where credit is due (during play or otherwise) even if I won but then I don't really win all that much to be honest.

[TheShend]

In 3S, i pick the pink costume, the other guy has just GOT to win now, or the shame, the SHAME!

And when he does lose, sweet sweet gloating.

Mario Kart Snes

Used to beat people using just two fingers (of the same hand).

I later replicated the trick on Ridge Racer on the PS1. My best lap time was 0.4 seconds under the lap time I got using just two fingers. No one I knew could beat that.

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: I used to beat people senseless with Dan.

In Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.

[Uncle Mike]

After defeating an opponent in an I will turn your head and look nonchalently down the arcade as if the round you just one was a breeze even if I did win by the skin of my teeth.

Start trying to turn my head around nonchalantly, and I'll kick your teeth in, sonny jim. Turn your own head.

Doing a 4 block parry then 2 in one fire ball into uppercut level 3 super finish with Ryu on Street Fighter 3rd Strike.

Feh! Amateur.

Try air parrying Ken's SA3 and countering with st. jab, st. short, st. strong into Genei-Jin, st. strong, f+fierce, f+MK x2, Palm, f+MK x2, Palm, st. fierce, Strong Shoulder, f+fierce, Jab Dash Punch

First time I ever managed to pull that combo off, and it was after air parrying Ken's most powerful SA. My friend just sat there and said "...nice..."

He's not great with words.

[Fry Crayola]

I always pick the shit teams in PES3. When you win, it's sooo sweet.

But it also helps my concentration. With a talented bunch of players I get far too cocky and try too much fancy stuff. With the journeymen I find I'm often winning the battles and playing sensible football.

[spooney]

We used to play 4 player circuit breakers on the PS1. A very good friend or mine would suddenly turn into a monster upon winning, jumping up and shouting "COME ON!!! YOU'RE ALL USELESS WANKERS ETC!"

This made me so pissed off I practiced hard when he wasn't around until I beat him, and beat him every time. I would return the arrogance, and then some.

We fell out for some time!

[SeanR]

Playing pool, if I win I give it some

[Boutros]

Whenever I win in PGR2 (and I'm pretty darn good !), I say something like:

"There there now, don't beat yourself up too much... there's no shame in having your ass kicked by a better man".

[Jack]

Taking the piss out of other people's awards in TimeSplitters 2. "'Most Cowardly'? AAAAAHAHAAHAHA", etc.

[Flockheart]

Was playing multiplayer Halo one time, two of my flatmates versus me and I was fragging the fuck out of them. I suggested they ask one of our other flatmates to join their team...

I tend not to gloat when I win, I tend to be like Japanese players and give my opponent tips, advice, or credit where credit is due (during play or otherwise) even if I won but then I don't really win all that much to be honest.

I actually tend to do this to, or just remain silent. I don't like to gloat to be honest. However, I've found that this really tends to wind people up even more

Excellent

[Goris]

Our third strike sessions consist of everyone in our group being beaten by the same person over and over and over again. I think as the years have gone on the need for that person to gloat has diminished somewhat.

WE'RE ALREADY MORE THAN AWARE OF OUR PLACE!

[McFly]

I completed Virtura Striker 2 in the union one time with a few onlookers, i beat England in the final and then casually walked away as the final whistle went.

While humping my brother at TS2 by something like 30 kills and i said "sometimes i amaze even myself" amnd "its all in the reflexes" constantly.

Also my brother was away to beat me 20-0 in a "title" match i switched it off at 19-0 .

I forgot i completed Tekken 3 down Codonas in Aberdeen and some wee man was watching me and as KO was called on ogre i just picked up my bike helmet and barged him out the way.

[ianwuk]

I used to be quite good at Tekken Tag Tournament, it is one of three games that are tempting me to buy a PS2 again (Ridge Racer V and Time Crisis II being the other two) and I used to have massive sessions on the game against a friend, at first he completely trounced me but as soon as I got my PS2 I started practicing and then bouts became true matches of skill.

It got to the point where, upon the match starting, we'd both move away to see what the other person would do, six hour sessions on Tekken Tag Tournament, those were the days, don't get me started on Gran Turismo or Tekken 3 either, played those to death as well!.

Haha! YOU KNOW IT.

[gravity0]

Haha! YOU KNOW IT.

I want a 3rd Strike meet.

Shame I live in Gibraltar.

[ianinthefuture]

On Halo this past weekend: "Whoa?! What was that? Was that.. Your... Arse?!? Being handed to you on a silver platter?!? Wow..."

Shame it wasn't me saying it...

I just seem to stick to: "What's that? You're dead/losing now?" Or just ask for an opponent with some element of skill. Though that goes tits up when I get twatted on a game. Losing 3-0 on PES4 the other day. I was Real. He was West fucking Brom. I think, as Fry Crayola said, with better teams I tend to try more stupid stuff rather than play football.

I think everyone should gloat. It's your right. You've just won. Revel in it. One of life's small pleasures!

[linkster]

I always enjoyed it when people watched me playing Tron and didn't know the trick to the level four lightcycle challenge. Last time I did it was at Joystick Junkies, first time I'd had a beer when playing it, so I just hit the stick left and took a swig. Mouths fell open. T'was fun.

Got a perfect at Hypersports skeet shoot on the same night and a mate literally fell off his chair.

[Silent Runner]

This is a cool thread.

I was watching a guy playing Outrun 2 in an arcade yesterday. He went through the entire course without evening winging another car, this guy was goooood. So, he gets to the last straight, he’s got 10 seconds or so left on the clock, he’s flying towards the final checkpoint and about 50 yards from glory. He gets out of the cabinet and walks away, letting his momentum carry the car over the last checkpoint. He didn’t even look back. Class.

[Jack]

Oh, I reverse over the finish line in racing games if I'm feeling particularly bastardly.

[Fleksnes]

When everyone except one has got a star in Mario Party, I like to say, "Who has got a star now, put your hand in the air?". Never fails to piss off the one guy sitting with his hands down.
