I'll play a sub character since I play 80% of the roster. But if your gamer tag is xX0Fuckboi420Xx you're getting my main.

Also the fear that it's some guy who cares too much about his record on a new account. I gotta be the first loss. I gotta break you in.

I really feel bad for the guys who are level 12s but they record is 11W/59L. Once you see how bad they are youre like.

"How did this person manage 11 wins ever?"

The fact that it's online I'm probably dicking around regardless of their score. I'm not dissing online, but that's just how I play.

Going "easy" on a new or inexperienced opponent is the worst thing you can do. It does nobody any favors. You cannot coddle people into the game.

Mortal Kombat is really hard. It is a competitive game, and like all competitive games, should only be played by competitors. If a brand new Mortal Kombat player walks into his first ever match with another opponent, he should expect to get his ass kicked.

People who have the confidence to step into the ring with a more skilled and experienced opponent, the perseverance to keep on playing said opponent despite ostensibly insurmountable climb to their opponent's skill level, and the fortitude and discipline to stick with it day after day after day, are the people we want in this community.

The people who need to be coddled, who are scared off and feel their pride grievously wounded by the mere presence of a challenge in a video game (or by the idea that someone could possibly be better than them at something)... Those guys aren't competitors. It is our sacred duty as Kombatants of both Earthrealm and Outworld to weed these weak souls out, so that a better community may emerge.

As for what I do personally, after assessing that they are indeed noobs after a game or two, I switch to whichever secondary I feel the need to work on. This way, I am able to play all out, yet my unfamiliarity with the character closes the gap, however narrowly, between myself and the less experienced opponent.
Close the thread after this wonderfully assessed post. This is my type of post on this site.

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
I absolutely destroy them with my main, beat them within an inch of a double flawless, and then, right before i land the final blow, I RAGEQUIT.

This teaches them two things, that people will destroy you online and people will ragequit on you online. So why not both at the same time. Fast learning.

Usually I just practice using another character I'm trying to learn and try out new things.
But if they keep fighting me and trying to figure out what going on I usually send them a message afterwards giving them some tips and some ppl say thanks and I'll play with them again to help them or I get a "f u tryhard" message back but either way I try to help most of the time I always tell ppl to check this site out

I get annoyed when I have to fight a beginner and end it as fast as I can. I'd rather play skilled players.
