you see it in every fighting game, i just had the pleasure of seeing in doa today. it honestly makes me think some ppl will intentionally play bad characters just so they can use this OS to justify their wins and losses
acutally, i used to do this back when i played competitive Rumble Fighter. i made a name for myself by using one of the weaker styles in the game, Karate. it was slow, unsafe as balls, and did average damage at best, on the plus side, it was very hitconfirmable, very delayable, and was the coolest looking style in the entire game (to me at least lol).
i was good enough to hang with even the top players in that game and was considered the karate master (mostly cause no one else was trying to take that title lol), and there were times when i'd win and i'd be all like "did i just beat one of the strongest Rumble Fighter players with karate? one of the worst styles in the game? im the fucking best"
and there'd be times when i'd lose i would be all like "pfft, w/e, he only won cause i was using karate, it's like the worst scroll in the game, he shouldn't be happy that he beat me"
