    It depends. I used to be a whole lot more competitive as a kid but I think that as I've gotten older, I've become much better at picking my battles, haha. I can still get quite competitive though. >:3 I mean, I'm not a pushover so I'll fight back. xD

    I definitely don't want to lose unless I'm really goofing around, but if I do, I'm mostly "eh" and don't take it too much to heart.

    I do hate coming in dead last though. Boy, that feels awful. And if that happens like three times in a row, I slap the ragequit button.

    It mainly depends on the game and if I'm being serious or not. Like with Super Smash Bros. My friends and I can be seriously competitive in those games, but unless I'm using my main or a character I know really well. I'm mainly just playing around.

    Other games like Overwatch (Neo knows this one well) depends on the team and how things go. Neo and I were playing recently and while we had our fair share of good games. We also had a lot at first. So much to the point we could NOT win a single game. So we slapped the rage quit button and tried again the next night and the same the night after.

    The time is upon us...

    It's funny, I have other Overwatch friends that can barely take two losses in a row before wanting to quit. And in the days of Battlefield 3, I had one friend that would quit after losing one game, even if it took hours for us to get all our mikes working and to get the party system finally doing what it was supposed to do.

    But yeah, for two nights in a row, boom, we were losing everything. It still had it's moments, but yeah, Overwatch is one of those games where if too many people on your team aren't doing anything competent, it's a real mess.

    The only thing about Overwatch that I wish they'd fix is the amount of time it takes to get into a match. You do spend a LOT of time waiting for games to start. -.-

    YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW COMPETITIVE I AM, i mean, not so much, i am maybe a teensy bit
    *much lie*

    But on a serious note, i am probably way too competitive. Fighting and Racing games are my boiling furnace. Especially fighting games, i get extremely competitive. Though my best frined might be a bit more competitive than me. I have to be perfect, so i train my mind and fingers constantly and strive for perfection.

    Then, there is american football, whoa man. Not the video game either. I wouldn't advise stepping on a football field against me. My friends call me Ray Lewis (google is your friend)

    I definitely can't work with fighting games. That whole genre is something I avoid like the plague.

    The big thing is the learning curve is astronomical. You're either EPIC, or you're a punching bag. And I think my last fighting game was Mortal Kombat 2 (I don't really consider Super Smash Bros in this genre, even if it feels a bit like one. It's more of a party game really). I also don't really like them. A lot of the elements that I like in games, such as exploring, storyline, character-building, and stuff like that are nowhere to be found in these types of games.

    There is two sides to the punching bag class. Either you suck, or you are so bleeping pissed at the person because he IS FRAKKIN SPAMMING ONE STINKING MOVE IN TEKKEN/STREET FIGHTER AND YOU ARE LOCKED INTO BLOCK OR DEATH and it burns you to the point of not thinking straight. I won't say i am epic, but i am good at fighting games. But i despise spammers, so i usually lose to spammers, because i go hulk, and just try using brute strength instead of what i usually do. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't.

    And yea, Smash Bros is not a fighting game, it is a party game, even though it somewhat plays like a fighhting game. Smash is my favorite, i love it, Melee especially, but it isn't a typical fighting game. Hell, even the world's best street fighter player: Daigo Umehara, says smash isn't a fighting game. (Even the creator lmao)

    But yea, i almost broke my ps3 controller just a minute ago because of a certain game that starts with a T and a low life scum that brougt me to my breaking point.

    So overly competitive it will be the death of me. xD So much to the point that sometimes I just can't enjoy things the way I'd like. I've eased off over the years, though, but if I still have a shot at winning something you can damn well bet I'll give it my all or die trying!

    Never give up, never surrender! Row row fight the power!
    For real, though, I'm honestly not all that competitive. although having a result so far below average that I'm doing the worst out of anyone is shamefur display I normally just enjoy myself, sometimes intentionally let up to give my foes a chance if the odds are uneven, like if in my favored shooters and MOBAs there's one less person on their team than ours. Although I do indeed never surrender. Who knows, we might pull a sudden comeback!
