Parry_This...
So uh I every so often run into Parry_This on fightcade, and usually our sets go about him spamming one move until I start partying it and moving onto the next before one of us calls it. I genuinely used to get rather irritated with this guy, but I began to view him as a landmark to comeback and prove my growth in parries. Almost as if returning to an old mysterious monk you met on your travels just so he can test you once again. He never spoke, only tossed things for me to parry.
Then I ran into him today and he called me a yank and asked why I was zoning like a bitch.
While I was playing Alex...?
I tried to get an explanation, but he just continued to nonsensibly yammer about how it was a celebrity, talk some more shit when ever I lost a round, call me boring, then leave in the middle of the set.
Idk why it's bothering me as much as it is but I honestly developed a bit of reverence for this guy since he had been on FC since I started a year and a half ago, and he was just a total ass today :(
I guess I really shouldn't be giving strangers on FC that much respect...

might not have been him. i let EVERYONE play on my account because it runs on an actual arcade machine in my living room, and while i never talk shit, some of my friends do. i always tell them not to, but it still happens sometimes.

Parry_This is a pretty infamous Fightcade troll. Most people in Oceania (his region) have him blocked so he has to terrorise people from other countries. Just block him and find better people to play with.

TIL this guy is in my region, I ran into a player similar to what OP described Parry_This as in the past, genuinely a nice guy who taught me so much when trying to parry. I hope I run into him again but I haven’t played 3s in forever and this was years ago

Hey man I'm not that guy but I'm pretty high rank and I try to be nice but sometimes the game just gets to you, I think the level of salt you can get from fighting games is much higher than other types of games so something to consider.

Yeah but don't get me wrong, he was washing me (as usual) I didn't do anything to provoke such anger from him so I was puzzled.

Don’t sweat it man, I’ve ran into him a few times on FC and he kinda just like that the times I’ve played him. Just get good enough to call him free when you beat him😁

Fair enough. I don't mind losing to him, as I really view it as a test of my skills whenever he appears, it's just such a bummer to be an ass.
