Okay so i was playing some DoA5U last night, searching for lobbies. After about two slow minutes i find one with a matching connection. *Fight 4 Fun* it read with just 1/8 players in the lobby. I thought to myself "This fellow is alone & is probably bored waiting for players to join his lobby" so i joined.
The eyes of my Jann Lee avatar sits below the eyes of his Kasumi avatar. My "ready" status goes neon indicating to him that i am ready to brawl.
*Silence*
*repeatedly toggles ready status on/off to try & get the message across*
*Still silence*
Currently headset-less i type a lazy can't-be-stuffed-using-proper-grammar message from my PS3 browser using a dual shock controller "R u there m8?"
Still nothing, but as I am about to leave the lobby i hear that satisfying "ready" flashing sound that tells me he is there & ready to bash.
Finally, the cogs are in motion & we're ready to rumble.
I select Jann Lee & he selects Kasumi. The fight starts & i do a little back dashing to see how my opponent responds.....he doesn't, so i go into attack with a few kicks, punches & throws which seemed far too easily to pull off then normal. After knocking chunks off his health meter without any trouble i back away anticipating an attack......i get nothing & Kasumi still stands there idle doing absolutely nothing while i continue to pile on the hurt. I think to myself "This guy must be lagging or something as he is not moving". Without dragging the clearly dead rubber match along, i finish the fight quickly against my motionless opponent *feeling just that little bit cheap & guilty doing so".
We return to the lobby & i send him a message
Me: "Sorry about the cheap win there. Did you lag or something? You weren't moving"
Him: "No lag, GG!!!

"
*You've been kicked from the lobby*
Bewildered & dumbfounded by this strange behavior i sent him another message.
Me: "Just wondering why you booted me from the lobby? I got the feeling you were letting me win, or was it lag on your part?"
Him: "No reason, GG!!

"
Me: "So........can i come back into your lobby now? It's just you in there anyway right? Don't you want someone to spar with?"
Him: "I'm fine here by myself

"
Me: "Haha, well, okay then..... thanks for the fight.....that's definitely understandable.....haha"
My reaction:
