I let them gets hits in and make it a close match. The I get progressively better. If it's online I tend no to play new player, I don't have fun.

I get in their asses no matter what.. It's how I became good at fighting games.. If you slack on them because they new then they will just go against someone that wont show them the same courtesy.. plus I love to win..

I body them. No remorse. Best way to learn is to get thrown into the fire in my opinion

I give em the business at first, but when I hit that realization that they have no idea what they're doing, I start playing around and doing dumb stuff.

Fighting beginners or "noob" players you can get quite a beating sometimes, because they do unexpected random things you don't see a good player do.

i remember you giving me nightwolf lessons back in 2011 lol.. are you playing mkx on a console or just steam?
 
You gotta beat the best to be the best. How do you do that?

  1. Watch videos
  2. Grind it out
  3. Get your ass kicked
So I destroy them lol!
 
I will generally change to a character I'm not as experienced with.

That way I'm still giving 100% of my effort into winning, but it's not as much of a massacre. And that way we both at least get some learning experience out of a fight. I don't really gain anything of value beating up on someone with my main, better to use the opportunity to get a better handle on a second or third. It's just a good opportunity to improve with characters you don't play as much.

Depends. If they talk hella shit and act like they're top tier, then no, I will smack the everloving shit out of them. Most of the time, I'll just use characters I'm not too familiar with. If they wanna learn, it's no good to just grind them into dust, they'll lose interest. If they're cocky shits, then yeah, they will feel dat WRATH.

I usually just pick Arrow and troll 'em.

Unless they have a mic, in which case I pick a character with super-flashy combos so they get super-hype and make me feel good about myself.

50/50.

When online, it warms my heart to hear beginners/intermediate say things like "I gotta learn this matchup or Imma play till I get this right".
