How do YOU play video games? (multiplayer)

Choose the choices that suit you most people!
Also, I'll explain the choices.

Aggressively - You wail on your opponent with attacks constantly.
Defensively - You wait until your opponent has an opening then take advantage of it.
Mix - You play defensively or aggressively depending on the situation.
Mindgames - You trick your opponent into being in the position you want them to be in.
"Hey! look over there!" - You distract your opponent(s).
Yell! - You try to yell and just have fun.
SCREAM! - You have loads of fun, but, as a consequence, your opponents/friends now have hearing problems.
Sit down, play, own hard, leave. - You see people playing and are all like "hah, I could totally own them". Then, you ask to play a few times, and proceed in owning, hard. Then, you leave.
Sit down, play, own hard, say how much you own, leave. - Same as above except you take what bragging rights you may or may not have earned and use them.
Brag about how good you are then abuse the most abuseable thing in the game. - You basically talk yourself up and then abuse something any newb could have learned within the first 10 minutes of playing that game.

im a defensive type. in fighting games i can't compete with how fast the use there buttons so i always start off with defense and look for openings. sometimes you'll see me running the oposite way then coming back to attack i call it a retreat but shiki considers it running away xD

I picked mix and it depends on the character for fighter games or the weapons for FPS...so yah

Where's the button mashing choice?

it should be the aggresive one i think, i chose sit down, play hard, say how much you own, then leave

As Zero said I too are mainly a button masher type (especialy in fighting games)
I'll take the aggresive type then. It is like that in all online games, I manly fail and dies xD

YES! Fighting games are about fighting! DONT RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He, don't you just love this guy's topics?

Anyways, I'm gonna have to say teh mindgamez and aggressiveness. It's always fun to keep the pressure on my opponent.

Is this video games in "general?", including mmorpgs/mmos and not just fighting games?

If so, I take the class that isn't used by the guild/group I'm in. But I tend to be a mix, aggression or a defense.

Or I log into 3 different accounts with three different clients in window mode at the same time and play all three to make up for lack of guildmates. One aggression (assassin or other overpowered class, castle killing, stealing), one defense (undying priest) and one "other (for other missing classes).

Though depending on how many friendships I have in PVP, I do the defense or the "Sit down, play, own hard, leave"

@Venus Yeah, I meant multiplayer games in general. I don't know where these other people are getting the idea that I'm only referring to fighting games.

Like I thought.
I was seeing everyone talk about fighting games and I thought I missed it in your first post...but my eyes deceive me! The word "Fighting Game" is invisible!!!!

Yes! Aggression or support!

Fighting is about fighting! Not running!









FIGHT ON!

hey! i do fight i just like to keep my distance at the begining so they speedblitz me into some endless combo xD

i play with the way that i try to learn my opponent's tactics (sometimes kill me tho) and find a way to make that as my advantage (which often take too much time).

okay. so i am what most people call "jack of all trades"
if there's a character that can do all the things the other can, i choose that guy.
*cough* bartz *cough*

so mix!!

I'm defensive by nature, though sometimes the best defense is a good offense.

I play like this :
Mix+Mindgames+Yell!+Sit down, play, own hard, leave.+Sit down, play, own hard, say how much you own, leave.

Yep.

Hmm. I normally do the "Sit down, play and own then leave" whenever I go to the arcade or tournaments. When I'm playing with friends.....(around 15 would come to my house in a day, we all yell and scream and make noises)

Sometimes Aggressively and sometimes Defensively, depends of the game

I'm Aggressively

I more in to defensive, maybe mix depends on the char I play though.
good poll!

It is about fighting, but when you are stuck in a position, where you cannot fight back, then you run

Pfft, when you're in a position where you cannot fight back and you're cornered, you remember that the only place you're cornered in is in the game.
CHOKE CORD STRANGLE MIND-GAMES SON!

I doubt it'll win you the fight, but oh well lol :p

Hah Aggressive! there aint nothing like standing alone in the enemy base,or better yet their face for example common games like FPS Multiplayer i like to rush,get in get out.But for like fighting games or racing games ect. just wait for the player to slip up,if they dont,you must have.
