Yeah. Don't mix siblings and cheap fighting games.

Amen to that. I'm an only child but my two friends (who are brothers) and I would play Super Samash Bros, original and melee, all day and half the time one of the brothers would quit because the other was being "cheap."

The only time I've gotten really pissed while multiplayer gaming in recent memory was when I was playing Starcraft LAN with four other friends. It was a free for all match but three guys secretly formed an alliance and squashed me and the other guy, who assumed we were all acting separately. When I realized that three armies were attacking me simultaneously I kinda blew my top. Especially since I had refused an alliance earlier out of principle that it was every man for himself. Live and learn, I guess!

This post brought to you by the letters "M", "D", "C", "C" and "C".

Back when the Atari 2600 was brand new my brother used to throw down his joystick and start punching me whenever I started pwning him in "Combat".

...Who says there were no interactive games in 1982?

Yeah. Don't mix siblings and cheap fighting games.
I'll be the 3rd person to quote this. Although, I'll add that every fighting game of all-time has been referred to as "cheap" by some loser.

And here's how my conversation usually goes:
(Person 1 wins match.)
Person 1: Haha, suck it.
Person 2: This game is cheap!
Person 1: You're only saying that 'cause you lost!
Person 2: YOU WANNA FIGHT IN REAL LIFE?! I WOULDN'T LOSE THEN!
LOL The last line always gets me. It never fails.

Well my friend who worked next door used to come over and play games sometimes "He was an Eckerds manager I worked at Game Exchange - stores are attached" Since Pretty much being able to play anyhting we had in stock was a perk of knowing me then. He quite often wanted to play Sports games "which I dont like" But he managed to get me to Play Blitz one time. To this day that is "our game" on any system. He has the ability to let you think you might win the first few quarters and then at the end of the game ALWAYS COME UP WITH SOME BULLSHI* PLAYS. Just cheating ass things like suddenly fumbles and interceptions..... It gets me into a rage. Although there are plenty of occasions of note im sure the one I remember was jumping up sending my chair skittering across the floor after a 2point conversion against me AND HES USING THE BEARS "customers in the store of course staring at me" I punch the N64 and yank out my controller "It really was the cheating ass controllers fault im sure" Walking outside the store to the brick pillar thing and swinging the controller as hard as I can into the stone. Of course it barely shatters the controller enough to bounce back up and slice open my hand enraging me further untill Im stomping on a N64 controller in front of the window.

The Douche still keeps count of his victories too. I havent seen him in 6 months, been in another state... his first words to me will be "hey whats it like 136 to 12 now?"

Bite me Dennis.

Ever played Halo 2 on live?

SuperNES

10-11-2005, 09:49 PM

once, i was playing Halo (1) with three friends at a birthday party, on the winter snowy level (i forget the name), in which there is a base set into a cliff, with an open top and ladders going from the bottom up to the top level. i was really owning all three of them, so they decided to gang up on me.(i did'nt mind). they had their defenses set up and were tossing grenades down the ladders. i ran into the bottom part of the base, and they saw me on their radar and thought i was coming up the ladder so they ran to the top floor and started looking for me, while i stayed silently on the ground floor. they had no idea where i went, so they figured i had gone through the teleporter on the second level, and one of them went through the teleporter to find me.. i then came up the ladder, hit one of them in the back of the head with my gun (he thought all was safe so his guard was down), killing him, then i ran through the teleporter after the other guy and smacked him in the head as well. one of them called me a cheater or something, and i said, "well i must be doing something right, coz this cheater is winning" one of them retalliated with "yeah, or maybe you're just using cheap tricks to win" i just chuckled and said to myself "yeah, maybe" and proceeded to own all three of them.

that's it.

no, no fights broke out.

go away.

My wife and I were playing Tetris Attack on the Super Nintendo a few months ago. It was all good and friendly at first and then as the competive juices started to flow curse words began to fly from the losing party. Which was usually me. LOL

No matter the game (usually a sports game though):

1. My buttons stopped working.

2. I hate this game.

3. I hate you.

:) My friends and I used to say this to each other so often when we were little we say it to each other now just as a joke :)

Been threatened a couple of times in my youth (I would play for money), but thankfully I've never gotten into a fistfight over a damn game.

I see it all the freaking time at Dave & Busters, middle-aged "businessmen" fighting while playing Golden Tee. Swear, that game should be banned from public places. Either that or those dudes need to learn how to handle their watered-down beer. :roll:

Honestly there's ever only been scrimmages with me when I would hustle people (yeah, little kids too) out of their money playing Daytona USA or Sega Super GT (SCUD Race if outside the US). LOL I learned right quick that you gotta watch when a kid would go running off after losing a few bucks, because half the time he would come back with his musclebound dad. LOL

There is no competition like arcade competition, modems and webcams will never completly replace it. Ahhh, the day when I first played Final Lap 3 and thought "wow, you can play against ANOTHER PERSON! $_$"

Unfortunately, that game is the only one I ever see in bars anymore. Besides D&B, Jillians, etc.

It never got personal to the point of fighting each other, but after one hotly contested Yuri's Revenge match against my roommate, one by yours truly, tears of joy started flowing down my face and I kissed my monitor. After that, my roommate would only play co-op with me.

One of my childhood buddies LIVED at his NESthen Genny then SNES. He eventually got good at any game you threw at him. But the problem was, he was such a poor winner that I refused to play him in anything head-to-head. Ever. He was XBOX live bad. In person.

This is encouraging to me. It's nice that so-called non-gamers enjoy Golden Tee--even better if they get into it enough to argue.

Yes.

I've come to blows.

Granted, we weren't throwing haymakers... But it was still pretty ugly.

"Return Fire" has a way of doing that to a man.

A Boy: Okay. So let's make a deal. No putting mines on bridges.

A Boy's friend: Deal! No mines on bridges!

Both A Boy and his friend IMMEDIATELY begin to place mines on all the bridges in the level

Both: MOTHERFUCKER!

A Boy: Okay. Fine. But no dropping your own flag in the middle of the ocean.

A Boy's friend: Sounds good....

Five minutes later, both A Boy and his friend use their respective Hummers to drop their own flags in the middle of the ocean

Both: COCKSUCKER!

A Boy and his friend engage in fisticuffs

If I had a nickel for every time that happened...

...I'd probably have enough to buy a Coke outside of Wal-Mart.

My friends and I would get into fist fights over mario aprty 2 for N64. Often times if coins or stars were stolen, the nearest object would be hurled across the room at full speed to whoever stole coins or stars. N64 carts have also been hurled as well as the System itself, and then a full on beating would ensue. Also the game has been known to have been ripped from the console and thrown from a second story window.

i remember many days of playing tecmo super bowl for the nes and having many controllers thrown and alot of tempers flaring. My friends used to get into it pretty big and my mom would have to send them home. The bad thing is still to this day my brother in law will come to the house and he either wants to play madden 06 or nascar 06 and it seems link in nascar I am always following him on the last lap and for some reason I have to run right into the side of him and never pass him clean or vice versa. We can talk and joke for the first 24 laps but on the last lap we are arguing about something. I am 26 years old and he is 31 so I don't think this fighting over video games will ever end.(god bless the USA)

My friend, Matt, and I have very competitive sessions of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer. The same with FIFA, as it goes. Back when FIFA 2003 was "a good game", I had him on a tight leash. I remember trouncing him 6-1 in front of our friends, and midway through the second half, he turned the darn PlayStation 2 off in a moment of fury. He huffed and puffed and stormed off. That somewhat ruined the night we had planned.

As for Pro Evolution Soccer... I was also (and, in my opinion, still am) the better of us two. I played free-flowing football. Beautiful football. Football to leave him high and dry. I played the beautiful game to the hilt. And Matt... Matt was very direct. With goal kicks, I used to pass the ball to the nearest defender, to begin my attractive build-up play. And Matt, bless him, would always intercept these passes, have a clear run on goal, and usually put the ball in the back of the net.

We still play this little mini game to this day. I refuse to change my style of play. And he refuses to stop being a git! Arguments always kick in. Hell, when I want to change my button configuration, Matt gets irked. I'm struggling to think when we don't argue when playing games!

Man it always happens,

Sometime when I play with my cousins, I'll beat them lets say 50 times, but if they beat me once, its like "oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" *insert name* beat Brandon! I'm like well thats only once, but they never stop chanting it, and it hate it!

Then theres times when I would play my good friend Timmy at Tekken Tag. I told him I was good with Jin, and Hwarng. He laughed, and said those are noob characters. So I get to his house,and we play. I'm wooping his @ss! the match is like 45 to 7. He starts giving me excuses like..

"oh I havent played in a while"
" If I would have practiced before hand I'd be winning"

I'm sitting there like dude I havent practiced in months, I just remember it. Then he goes off to say I fight to much like a robot!? I laugh, and say well it's kicking your butt aint it!? I just don't switch moves ,and combo's unless I'm experimenting or its nessesary. He still won't admit to this day I stomped his @ss at Tekken Tag + Tekken 3.

Oh, I'll leave you with this final one that people who are loosing always say. If you ever played Mortal Kombat, you'd know about the sweep kick. I got good at it as well as the other moves, but this was like my back up if all else failed. People would say "man your fuckin cheating". I'm like "If it's in the game how can it be cheating!!!????"

I haven't, but my brother always gets really pissed at me whenever I repeatedly throw him with Donkey Kong on Super Smash Bros.
He thinks it is cheap. Thats just the way I play the game.

I used to go to Family Fun Center all the time to play people in capcom vs snk 2, and i would be the person that would wait for somebody to hop onto a machine (there were 4 there at the time because this place holds tourneys for the game), and then i would politely and modestly pop my quarters in like i sucked at the game, and then destroy the guy while talking trash the entire time. One guy got super pissed because he was at the last guy in the game, and i kept beating him so that he couldn't finish the game.

he started shouting at me saying crap like, "i was here first, i played you and you won, now leave so i can play by myself"

i told him i was just getting my money's worth. it was pretty crazy

Guilty Gear X2 at an anime convention.

Man, that game is crazy. My friend kept using Ky, and raping me as well. This would be OK if he was good at fighters, but he is horrible at most. By the end he kept accidentally going into insta-kill mode and would run out of life.

OMFG YOU CHEAT.

MAYBE KY IS A ROBOT OR SOME SHIT AND HE ASPLODES.

Now, imagine that going on for about an hour.

Usually it gets kind of personal with my friends...and it always involves fighting games. I have a couple friends who come up with the lamest excuses everytime they loose..."The buttons on my controller aren't working!" or "You're being cheap!" or even "I told you not to attack! I was trying to figure out a move!"

They get really angry when they loose, and if they win...they try to make me mad by showing off and acting like I suck and they rule. Then we start getting into a good shouting match with each other. Nothing ever gets physical, though.

I often get angry at my boyfriend when we play fighters, namely King of Fighters and Capcom vs. SNK 2 (I can kick his ass at Street Fighter though).

Once I got particularly annoyed and I whacked him on the wrist with the end of my Xbox controller.

I felt really bad and we kissed and made up quick smart. :)

I can get very pissy when playing against my boyfriend and his friends at Halo or any fighting game. It's because I have such an inferiority complex, I find it impossible that I could actually lose, so if they're beating me I get really outraged like "You can't do this to me! I'm better than you!!!" I've gotten better though. A little...

I still OWN my boyfriend's ass at Tekken. He has only beaten me in ONE ROUND and hasn't ever since. So if he's doing better than me at Guilty Gear or Virtua Fighter, I can just even the score in Tekken. :)

I have had fights over video games since i started playing. I have an older brother who is mentally reteard with a sezuire disorder. we would play games and if he lost it'd b really bad, i think it prolly still is but now he just plays both teams or watches the computer vs computer and comentates it. There have prolly been situations with friends but my brother is the first thing i thought of.

Oh I have to post again because I remember some other Halo incidents.

1) My boyfriend used to piss and moan constantly about anyone who would camp out and use the sniper rifle to pick off people in multiplayer Halo. He called it cheating but all his friends who did it said "If it's cheating, why is it in the game?" My boyfriend is still to this day heavily ant-sniper rifle.

2) One day when we were playing Oddball on Halo 2 online, my boyfriend's friend had the skull and he kept yelling at us in the room and our other teammates online that he needed cover to get back to the base. I was trying to find my way back there and everyone else was caught up fighting the opposing team. And he kept saying "If no one comes over to cover me I'm going to give the skull right to the other team." And I kept saying "I'm trying to get over there! I'm coming over just wait!" but he kept saying he was gonna give the skull to the other team and he did. This isn't the first time he's done douche-y things on Halo 2. It got to the point where my boyfriend and everyone else in the circle of friends refused to play Halo with him anymore. But it's felt like centuries since we've played Halo 2 since my Wireless Router doesn't work and my boyfriend's XBox stopped working :(

I have been threatened by complete strangers over Samurai Showdown II and X-men vs Street Fighter. Also got rushed by kids over Mortal Kombat.

People don't really realize that during the heyday of fighting games EVERYONE played, and out of that group, more than a few took losing pretty personally.

However, within the family, countless games created fights. The worst offender being Mario Kart on SNES.

A long time ago... at a pizzeria in a galaxy not that far away... I witnessed 2 brothers in their early teens start to throw punches during a game of rbi baseball. I think it started over the choice of teams. They started the game and all was fine until the home run derby started for the one guy. The other was pissed because he said the first kid took his team. Family fun for all.

there was some person stalking me on NHL 2K5 online...

i played against him. he would pause the game while i was on offense and about to score to knock off my timing, and when he'd score, he'd pause and go into edit lines to change the names, instead typing out shit-talking like 'you suck'. i got sick of it, quit the game, and he started emailing me calling me a 'faggot' and all sorts of things. i reported him (not sure if anything is actually done) and blocked his username. afterwards, he went further and sent me a 'friend notice' or some shit like that. i rejected it, and will never play against this fucker again.

Yeah. Me and a buddy of mine were playing Tekken Tag Tournament together. I kept beating him with Eddy. He got very angry, and started throwing the controller, and saying how much of a cheap f'ker I was. I said calm down, and I'll pick someone else. I picked Law. I beat him again, and he threw another fit. So I picked another character, I picked Baek. And creamed him again. Then he threw my controller on the ground, and started yelling all in my face saying I'm cheap as hell. At this point I got pissed myself and got up and we made out.

Untrue story.
