Today I went to a smash tourney to try to make friends. This black dude beat me with Ike and I asked if I could add him on Discord and then I did. While I was waiting for my next match, I spectated the guy he fought next and he lost. After that I was like "Hey bro have any advice? It's not the first time Ike fucked me out of a win" and he just completely ignored me for like 5 seconds. Then he said "I don't want to talk" and walked away.
My therapist didn't prepare me for this.... What do I do? Remove him from Discord? What did I do wrong, I'm worried I was annoying him, but if I don't try to make friends, nobody is going to make them for me. He almost certainly only let me add him on discord originally because it's less awkward than telling me no to my face.
How the fuck did you lose to Ike. He's an overrated character with not much to offer compared to the other animu swordy character. But seriously just practice against roy(better ike btw)
Benjamin Nguyen
That's not what's important god damn it.
Joshua Foster
he was pissed he loss user stop being such a girl you take everything so personal
Nathaniel Reed
Why was he so upset that he lost a game that he had to be rude to someone over it? I lost games with grace and I wasn't mad about it then and I'm not mad about it now.
You know what, I guess it doesn't matter. The well adjusted thing to do is completely forget this minor interaction with a stranger happened and move on. I added 3 other people who actually seemed nice and open to being friends.
Jeremiah Scott
It's ok little buddy :^) just caught him at a bad time.
But yes, drop him. That was pretty rude.
Jacob Flores
I'm 25 and jacked and covered in tattoos and piercings. from the outside nobody can see how lonely and timid I am.
Grayson Morgan
Because he thinks Ike is a good character that should've carried him high into the tournament.When he actually has no good mixups and is super overrated just because Mkleo used him well.When clearly Roy is the way to go in the Sword Character category.
Samuel Torres
because not everyone is you and reacts to losing different. go watch some smash meltdown vids after people lose. alot wont shake hands and some smash things and most whip the controller and storm off all mad they lost. so again stop being a girl and taking shit personal. maybe your autism is making it hard for you to think about things like that but first thought would be damn dude lost he's obviously pissed over that and not at me.
Isaiah Allen
I hear ya. I have resting asshole face. In reality, I'm so shy that I have great difficulty connecting with people... It takes me years.
Isaac White
I'm not autistic I'm just socially anxious and hyper critical of myself and have had almost no friends my entire life so my social skills suck.
I don't know if feeling the need to correct you/argue with you is right or wrong. Should I have just ignored your comment?
Easton Gutierrez
You forgot to suck his dick.
Not literally of course. More like >damn dude you're pretty good, your opponent's win was a clear fluke Then he'd have been humble and something like "nah he was good I gotta get better". So you could've been like >yeah me too, I always lose to Ike, no idea how to handle him Then you'd have got what you were looking for.
Yeah normie protocols might seem totally alien right now. Keep trying and you'll get it down eventually.
Liam Brooks
no your giving me more to work with desu.. look user it wasnt anything you did. trust me on this.. if you go watch some melee/smash meltdowns on youtube for a bit you'll realize oh shit it's kinda common behavior. so as I said the guy was pissed he lost and wasnt mad at you. try not to overthink it too much and work on making friends with the other 3 you added.
Levi Williams
I've seen people get angry, I've watched competitive smash for multiple years now. I just never interact with it in real life. I'm always behind a screen watching anonymously online. I guess I just didn't think it could happen in real life for some reason. Now I actually feel better about myself because I'm glad I'm not a baby like that.
You know what's even more annoying? When he beat me I choked massively hard. I had a 150+% lead in both the games I lost to him. In the first match he was at 180% when I got to my last stock and I lost anyways, and then it happened again. That in all honestly is way more of an excuse to be angry. that and he was playing Ike.
Wyatt Ramirez
Just curious who do you main?
Asher Clark
mii gunner, but here's the characters I'm proficient with.
Okay I'm gonna put this simply you should probably have one main and one side bitch character and not multiple different characters. I gonna assume you know how to play the characters that are not cross out. But you should never use the two charcters crossed out. King K Rool is way to slow for tournament level, while Bowser Jr has a horrible moveset. If you're good as Mii Gunner stick with him and try to decide who your other main is. That's how you better so you don't lose to a pathetic Ike.
My Bowser Jr. rocks and got multiple compliments tonight, and I'm well aware of his flaws as well as K. Rools. I know way, way more about smash than you probably think. I've been consuming information about it online and keeping up with the scene for the entire lifespan of multiple games now.
basically what I'm saying is I'm a no-life loser don't worry I'm not a casual. Look at where I am after all.
