Spelling check's fault. I hardly use the word myself, but Smash Bros. sure is making me now.
(just in case someone else is wondering "what's griefing?")
It's to do with online gaming that requires some form of cooperation or teamwork, where one of your supposed "friendlies" decides to be an asshole and purposely hinder you/make you lose
examples include:
- that moron who shoots his own teammates in CoD
- inviting a friend over in Animal Crossing to trade, only to have them chop down your trees, dig up the stumps and run over your flowers
- having someone SD till death in SSB, and then use the "stock steal" trick to come back and waste your stock, too
you cause your teammates grief and it's a very asshole thing to do generally
...did they disable the "stock steal" thing in online play?
Can you even do team matches in For Fun or For Glory?
Also eh I'm generally trying to avoid online play on the 3DS smash, I'm saving all my Kill Skill for the Wii U version
I'm against trolling and griefing, but you have to admit that a lot of people online are asking for it. For example: Those who expect to be treated as an authority figure.
