All of this, plus it’s Fauxhebro’s fault for not having a secondary character as backup to provide an effective counter to Jigglypuff players.

Fair points—and if this dude had finished the match and then negotiated for a change in rules to prevent the Puff behavior in the future (or reinstate wobbling), I’d have no issue with his behavior at all.

That’s not what he did.

He agreed to a set of rules at the start of the tournament, didn’t like what that meant…

The tournament rules were established in such a way that wobbling was out, but Puffing was in.

If an Ice Climbers main knows their wobble tactic is out, they either need to come prepared to play around it, or not enter in the first place.

The “honorable” course of action here would’ve been to finish the match, and…

Right, I can totally get behind the idea of negotiating a further change to the rules after the fact. Had this dude finished the match and then lodged his complaint, I’d have no issue with his behavior at all.

Instead, he chose to behave like a toddler, unplugging his controller and stomping away to his room.

That’s not…

Right, I have no problem with debating further adjustments to the rules after the fact—but the dude should’ve finished the match and then levied his complaint, not behaved like a six year old shouting “I WANT TO WIN” by unplugging his controller and stomping off.

Also it is disrespectful to the audience,

I agree with your stance here.

However, the tournament rules were established in such a way that wobbling was out, but Puffing was in.

it only became literally impossible when he unplugged and huffed away

Right, but the winning is still the primary motivation, as it’s what keeps competitors in the rotation and allows them to advance in their chosen career track.

When a basketball team deliberately runs out the clock during a close game on a final possession, it’s obnoxious as hell—but it’s also within the bounds of the…

I have, for many years, maintained the truism that fighting with honor creates only a moral obligation to lose. If you cannot sort a route around your opponent’s tactics, that’s on you. So long as the play was within established rules, any ideas about “respectful” engagement need to get right the hell out.

This is the best of takes.

How is anyone defending this keep-away bullshit?

Fuck the piece of shit little baby who unplugged his controller, and fuck all the stupid pieces of garbage in the audience that booed.

I miss the days when people honored the unwritten rules

“For my part, I find it hard to disagree with traditional fighting game players. Chango played the match beautifully, and forcing your opponent to get up and leave the set using just your gameplay to frustrate them should be a point of pride.”

Dear players,

You’re at a tournament, losing your mind because your opponent dared to... play to win?

It’s stuff like this that prevents me from entering a competitive environment in any game.

I have, for many years, maintained the truism that fighting with honor creates only a moral obligation to lose. If you cannot sort a route around your opponent’s tactics, that’s on you.  So long as the play was within established…

So his two complaints are:

I believe they also gave development reasons to also explain the gender-locking. It is true that supporting additional genders to races = additional development time, that much is clear to those who understand mmo game development.
