Do You Ever Just Feel Like Being an A**hole?

[MerlinsBeard]

I have a custom Johnny Cage variation I call Dickhead Jonny. It uses the camera flash and low force ball, and I only play it when I just feel like being a jerk. I will just spam projectiles from fullscreen, I'll t-bag, and just be as obnoxious as possible. I know this might be considered mean or childish but sometimes you just need to let it all out.

If you are going to do this there are a few things to remember.

1. Never do this to a new player. Make sure they have plenty of games played.
2. Make use of the text to speech to talk trash. You can use a mic but it may cause lag and then you ruin your own experience and not just theirs.
3. If your feelings are easily hurt I wouldn't recommend this. If you can't take it, don't dish it.
4. Always go for a Brutality. Fatalities are okay but you see them all the time and take to long. Brutalities are sudden, to the point, and a good way to assert dominance.
5. This is most important, they might be really good and crush you. If this happens, and it will, turn the jerkishness all the way to eleven. Never admit defeat, and even if you lose, act as if you won.

In closing, this is a very dark power and should be used responsibly. We all have it in us and every now and then we just need to let it out and I don't think this makes me a bad person.

Youre under arrest.

The rules are: there are no rules.

If you win you win lol

Oh fu**k, a moderator. Hey, let's take it easy. No need to overreact, I meant no harm.

The problem is I don't always win. That's why point number 5 is so important, never lose your swagger.

Lmaoooo Touché. You’ve got it figured out, I must say <3

 

[Zviko]

No, never. Yes sometimes you need to let it all out but there's no need to do let it out on other people. Go to the gym, meditate, do yoga or whatever. It goes out this way too and you aren't frustrating anyone but you are doing something good for yourself instead. Everyone is happy at the end. Just an advice.

 

[Paul_Khan]

I'm always asshole. I don't need to be nice to no one. I have friends in real life and don't need to search for them in computer game community. Besides I don't respect MK community much.

 

[QueenOmega]

Yes, sometimes when I get mad i engage mofo mode, and I start furiously t-baging while throwing boulders and boulders. Some games I don't do anything else than that and it's enough to win some people lulz

 

[stokedAF]

I think I just play like an asshole regularly. You have to with shao kahn. People get angry and teabag when they beat me like they did some huge accomplishment. I think it’s funny. Wow you beat shao kahn with Jax, good job loser.

 

[MK9]

It’s people like this I love beating

 

[UghGetOuttaHere]

Unrelated note. Got called n* and f* yesterday for winning on injustice 2. I have yet to experience any salt close to that on Mk11.

That's rough, I'm a pretend a**hole and would never use language like that. They give people like me a bad name and should be reported.

As you should.

 

[colby4898]

I mained Cyborg in Injustice 2 and Special Forces Sonya in MKX. All I do is play like an annoying asshole.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Honestly any salt and rage iv witnessed in an NRS game is absolutely nothing compared to an average Modern Warfare 2 lobby in 2009-10

But who are you to critique how someone is "being an asshole"? You openly advocate for people to be dicks to be shit heads to one another and then want to pick and choose what that looks like? That's ridiculous.

Let me be real. If you legit need being a dick at a online video game to feel better about yourself then you need to make some changes in your personal life because you're compensating for something.

 

[NaughtySenpai]

I only start being a dick if I notice the other guy is mad. Like when they start to fatal blow you on the finish him screen or go back to character select and select and deselect Noob Saibot real quick so it says "Noob Noob Noob Noob Noob Noob ".

Sometimes I'm being a dick by accident because I played towers with Baraka so much, I made a habit of buffering his chop chop brutality and when it comes out it's really long and annoying and people think I'm a prick to them, when it's just my fucked up muscle memory.

 

[DarksydeDash]

This can be easily achieved with Terminator's super armor.

 

[EarlyReflections]

Kombat League s2 pushed me to the dark art of teabagging. I sold my soul to it.

There is a difference between calling someone a scrub and using a racial slur which is what I assumed he meant my n*.

 

[MKF30]

Not really but if I’m in a bad mood and you teabag or sent hate mail I will get them back one way or another.

 

[Tertian]

while this seems mostly innocuous, i would say you probably could still find a better outlet.

I think I may have worded this poorly. I'm not releasing some repressed anger or rage, it's more like I'm releasing my inner Biff. You could say that I'm preparing the people for the real bad guys, in reality, I'm providing a public service.

 

[GLoRToR]

I never do. I kind of believe that while playing to win is the point of competitive gaming, there's also a sense of honour to be had.
You can't make me angry by repeatedly crouching or using a taunt button if there is one, because why should I. But at the same time I'm not going to be monkeying around either because I understand that repeated crouching may anger some people for some reason unknown to me.

I think beating the ever living fuck out of the opponent is fine. Being an asshole about it, is not.
