I guarantee this story will warm your heart, though!
I went online later tonight and played a few rounds; my record is 26 and 11, a little bit over 2:1, not too bad. I expected to play someone about my level.
After a few matches with some worthy competitors, I come up against someone named "ino", all lowercase. She has no record, as this is her first game online. She picks Yoshi and I use Waluigi.
Turns out, this very well might've been her first game EVER. I was pulling off 6-ball megastrikes in the center of her half with no interruptions. In the first game I am relentless, getting a 14 - 0 victory. The second game I loosen up a little and she gets a miracle goal from half-pitch by Yoshi, resulting in a 7 - 1 finish.
I leave the game two wins and 40 points richer, and search for another...and, wouldn't you know it, ino shows up again. She picks Peach and I decide to go with my number 2 as well, Diddy. The first game goes very much like the first bout with Yoshi, and I win 12 - 0.
The second game, though, with about 45 seconds left on the clock and an 8 - 0 scoreboard, this girl gives up and starts running the ball into HER OWN goal. To show my appreciation for being such a good sport in the face of such bullshit matching, I quickly steal the ball and jump around with Diddy for a good thirty seconds ("HA-HA, HO-HO, HEE-HEE, YA-HA, YA-HA") and, finally, effortlessly jump over my own goalkeeper.
Then I got the animation where Diddy cries and kicks the dirt...and I lost it.
