I don't know if that's a rightie guy, but it's why conservatives in America always lose. They'd rather lose the right way on principle, while the left cheats, lies, hurts, and kills without compunction
Someone had a good post about “scrubs”. To him a scrub is someone that doesn’t use a tactic that’s in the game, while getting mad when other people use it and win. Instead of learning the tactic, the bitch about it online. I think it was Street Fighter 4 he was talking about specifically
I once played a scrub who was actually quite good. That is, he knew the rules of the game well, he knew the character matchups well, and he knew what to do in most situations. But his web of mental rules kept him from truly playing to win. He cried cheap as I beat him with “no skill moves” while he performed many difficult dragon punches. He cried cheap when I threw him five times in a row asking, “Is that all you know how to do? Throw?” I gave him the best advice he could ever hear. I told him, “Play to win, not to do ‘difficult moves.’” This was a big moment in that scrub’s life. He could either ignore his losses and continue living in his mental prison or analyze why he lost, shed his rules, and reach the next level of play.
I’ve never been to a tournament where there was a prize for the winner and another prize for the player who did many difficult moves. I’ve also never seen a prize for a player who played “in an innovative way.”

I think you're talking about Sirlin. https://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub
I thought a scrub was a guy hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride hollering at girls?

This has been in gaming forever. Been on both sides of the coin. I find I’m a way better player when I adapt.
