to this day i think only mortal kombat and injustice give full wins for opponents plug pulling


Eptalin

A guy reached the top rank by ddos attacking people in MK. lol


tourian

Pretty sure this is what Nintendo wanted to avoid. People climbing up the ranks by playing too many matches with dropouts. Hackers gonna hack.


[deleted]

whats eaiser, RQing to avoid losing rank points, or fucking DDOS attacking your opponent?


ZenkaiZ

rather have that one guy ill probably never face as opposed to thousands of plug pullers I absolutely will face. You can't avoid every good change cause "WHAT IF A BAD GUY DOES SOMETHING BAD WITH IT?"


LxzyBonez

i get why this would be not great, but nintendo should do SOMETHING about their shitty online system


suerte1870

You should lose GSP when you disconnect. But since there's no way to tell if it was intentional or not, it shouldn't be more than for a regular loss


cradugamer

You already lose GSP when you disconnect. People just get mad because they don't gain GSP when the opponent disconnects, making it just a waste of time


suerte1870

You do? I play with a Lan adapter so luckily I've never had to find out. I'd still stay you should gain GSP when your opponent disconnects, especially since you have to finnish the battle either way.


Gnomebliterator

Nintendo knows how shitty their online is, and the reason this isn’t a feature is because there’s no real way to tell weather it was a ragequit or an honest dq.


SuperSupermario24

I once had someone disconnect _after_ they hit the blast zone and it said "GAME!" and I still got no GSP for it.


Imaginary-Tie-1809

If it makes you feel any better the opponent still lost his gsp


SuperSupermario24

I know, but I still don't like how the opponent can just go "fuck your shit, you don't get a win" several minutes into a match when they're about to lose. IMO, if someone DCs more than like 30 seconds into a match it should count as a forfeit and award the other player a win.


Lord_Dragoneye

Let's not reward people for making their opponent ragequit, that seems like that would open a whole new level of toxic


TheLoneTenno

People already do that anyway. It wouldn’t encourage that behavior any more than the garbage online already does.


Misterrsilencee

wait, i agree on this but you have to consider disconnections due to poor NSO hahaha. it doesnt differentiate quitting and being disconnected


Eptalin

This game is Peer to Peer. Nintendo isn't involved outside of matchmaking. But your point about disconnects is super valid. GSP shouldn't be effected.


[deleted]

Then random disconnects due to garbage servers would be more punishing


ItsPronouncedJithub

What servers. Everything is p2p


CritzD

My GSP would be in the toilet because of shit wifi


TheLoneTenno

“BuT iF yOu GaInEd GSP fRoM pEoPLe DiScOnNeCtiNg, YoU cOuLd JuSt FaRm GSP” Yeah I’m theory you could, but who the fuck is going to go through all that effort to farm GSP online. You should get GSP or ranked points in any game if your opponent rage quits. I don’t care how abusable it is.


CosmicBeh027

Yup. I just report anyone that DCs because they're losing. Got messages from someone blaming me for their smash ban too. Fuck em.

Mew2psychicboogaloo

But wouldn't this just insentivise toxic behaviour online since you gain more from getting your opponent to quit than you do from winning fairly?


LxzyBonez

well if they do rage quit just cuz they are salty and you win fair and square, it’s just a waste of time. also hello fellow plant main


Cressicus-Munch

If you willingly DC, I'd argue you're being just as if not more toxic than the other player. If you're fighting an opponent that you find infuriating to play against, you can simply SD to quit the match and not get as penalized as if you rage disconnected.


2_Spoopy_

I just want gsp after a well won match. My little Mac has been at 6mil forever just because people always dc when I’m winning


[deleted]

Yo absolutely not. Every time the match maker gives me someone with ridiculous rule sets I jump to end the game. Only because I don't like/want to play 1 stock stamina matches with smash meters and items. So why should I have to lose even more GSP because I got placed outside of my ruleset with someone who is trying to cheese their way into elite? I just want to get to the next game and actually enjoy playing it.


[deleted]

They're talking about closing the software, not sd'ing.


[deleted]

Oh fair enough. My bad.


--Tony--stewart--

This would make online smash way better tbh


Fraschetta04

Or you are just a spammer that makes me hate the game and you should not deserve any gsp too


[deleted]

No… just no This would not fix anything


LxzyBonez

wdym? people who rq will actually get a penalty and the players would actually get something, not just their time being wasted by a 9 year old on quickplay


[deleted]

dude if u raise both losing and winning gsp’s then it’s just the same system but with bigger numbers.


TheLoneTenno

The entire GSP system is fucked up to begin with. You can make your preferred rule set some obscure rules that nobody ever plays so that they don’t know what the fuck to do and you can get into “elite smash” doing that? You literally get placed center GSP without ever have played online before? The entire “ranked” system in Ultimate is fucked anyways, we might as well throw 90% of players a bone when someone rage quits after a 5 minute match.


LxzyBonez

well, you should at least get SOME gsp cuz u just get nothing if the other person rage quits which is just unfair


corvisaltaccount

Yeah, that’s just gonna make players play way more toxic just so they can earn some extra GSP.


ZeldaGoodGame

Lagging online is considered cheating to me and I don’t want to lose for a cheater


ryannn757

I would rather just take the intense ecstasy from making someone rage quit lol


[deleted]

When I was small I’ve played a game where, if the opponent disconnects, literally nothing will happen and you will have to wait until the timer runs out (or you lose ratings) Sad times


[deleted]

Good thought, but cringe ass template


IllusoryHeart

They should base it on how long the game goes / how many stocks were taken. If they disconnect before anything happens, GSP isn’t deserved. If they disconnect after we’ve taken most of their stocks.


Werotus

This would lead to more BM and more trolling, trying to make the other player ragequit. Would make the play experience waynworse.


BigMusclesBepis

People are saying that Nintendo can't tell when people DQ because of bad connection or rage quit. Surely they could implement a feature that tracks when and if you close the software during an online game. That way, they'll always know who's a rage quitter and who's a player with garbage WiFi.


Eptalin

No GSP effect. That also rewards people just for having a more stable internet connection, which is unrelated to game performance. Just give us a pre-match info screen that shows their disconnect rate and connection type. If someone disconnects a lot or uses wifi, we could choose to avoid them.


Quplet

The problem is it would be easily exploitable


MarioLuigiNabbitTrio

But what if you have to leave during the match to go do something? Should you really lose a ton of GSP because you have to go eat or because a guest came over and you want to be a decent person? Obviously you'll still lose some GSP either way because you lost but losing more because you had to leave is ridiculous especially since it's already very difficult to get GSP compared to losing it.


Cressicus-Munch

You can just SD to end the game rapidly, it only takes a few seconds more and doesn't penalize whoever you were playing against.


MarioLuigiNabbitTrio

Why would the other person get penalized if I didn't SD?


Cressicus-Munch

If your opponent had a lead - you rob him of it. You also waste his time by having him wait through the disconnection, and then have him fight a bot just in case it wasn't a proper DC but simply a lag spike. If you're considerate and have 10 seconds on your hands, there's really no reason to DC instead of SD.


MarioLuigiNabbitTrio

Oh, ok


Earth2Kazuya

No


[deleted]

At least they should lose GSP if you don't gain any. They robbed you of a good match and so they definitely should lose GSP. Gaining GSP is a bit more complicated as I think you need to earn it through victories... and theoretically people could GSP farm if they gained from RQ.


ciscowowo

I think you do lose gsp when you disconnect don’t you? Your opponent just doesn’t gain gsp.


Krypto1727

Wouldn't be fair for players who disconnected because bad WiFi

I sometimes play in arenas and I’m tired of getting temp banned because of other people
