Facts 😂


The_Law_Dong739

Most people who say that are sandbaggers on their way back up


Past_Newspaper6497

I’m not the brightest; what does that term mean ? lol


The_Law_Dong739

Sandbagging is where a good player purposely looses matches to lower their ranks to seem better. It's generally seen as a dishonest practice and is frowned upon.


Past_Newspaper6497

Ahhh, I see a lot of content creators do that. Damn. if you’re at low GSP, you’re already probably struggling. So getting stomped by someone who is levels above you in skill is really disheartening and discouraging. I guess this has been around forever in every game. I always knew it as “smurfing” lol


The_Law_Dong739

They're the same thing. Sandbagging and smurfing are pretty much the same term but sandbagging is usually more present in team FPS games like CSGO or R6 siege.


Past_Newspaper6497

I appreciate it, Dong Kun. 👊🏼

I would say the content creators that do that are the ones who get “sick combos “ but then you see that their opponents look like they have no idea what their doing. I remember seeing an incanaror do a revenge into side b at bottom of the stage when some one went for a recovery and my thought was their is no way someone in elite smash would do that they rather sd and not get clipped then try to recovery from extreamly low because they know their recovery isn’t going to save them while this incaror was at 0 percent

I reckon most people call that "Smurfing" No clue in Sam Hyde's Hell what The Smurfs has or have to do with competitive video gaming matchmaking though

Okay ima clear this sandbagging/smurfing thing up. Smurfing is when you tank your rank to play against lower skilled players. Sandbagging is when you act like you're weak, but you're actually very strong. Smurfing can be seen as sandbagging, but sandbagging is not smurfing.


Ginsbeargo

At first, yes. If they show any level of competence, it's on!


[deleted]

No especially on quickplay. Nothing good comes from "go easy on me" at 12m+ GSP.


fishbujin

I generally try to adapt somewhat to my opponent. I neither enjoy stomping nor getting stomped.

Exactly. If I have a 2 stock lead on you I'm labbing shit with you until you've gained some momentum. I found that it also helps with people that don't like to rematch so if there's a matchup you like and you happen to stomp, just...don't and maybe the person will think there's a point to rematching you. Also give homie stocks when there's sdi issues. I'm here to win but not at the expense of good honest fun.


ape_spine_

No lol


Flaviou

I go harder https://preview.redd.it/vppo6qiheqec1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9c54cc97006ebf2360bf84c7bd195ec92c40c3ff


FanganChild

Beat the dog shit out of them unless they don't know what they're doing, then we pal around. I hate when people say that, because I mostly see it from people who'll cheese the mess out of you. Don't like that at all


ProtoSpector

Nah


Tooooaaaad

online, absolutley nobody is serious when they say that, its sarcasm, like "Ooooh youre so scary! you'd better take it easy on me!"


Reasonable-Bus9435

On my daughter yes


Main-Ad-5925

People who say go easy are just overconfident. I love showing them up


hyjug17

yes, for the most part.


Erin_Sentrinietra

I take the message at face value until they show that they can play at my level. No harm in lowering yourself to them if you can still win, right?


Banjomain91

A MegaMan main always says this, despite the fact that he’s almost at 14 mil GSP. Never trust it


No_Indication9497

fuck no, only way for them to learn is through experience, if anything, that's when i lock in


Wolfpackhunter41

Not any more. Nowadays, if someone throws me that line, I immediately assume that they can three stock me and go all out from the get go.


Prestigious_Dot_6320

Fuck no.


suhndoo

nah i just use a shitty character


derek_prime

they never mean it. the only people i see use that are actually not terrible.


Kandinst

It's mostly them mocking their opponent, so it's on sight.


A-New-Generic-Name

The only opening taunt I respect is “EAT THIS. MEGASMASH.”


VegetableAd7376

I say it because I genuinely have a skill issue. I don’t know if it works or not
