all of my interactions with n3z have been terrible and i always felt like something was off

i thought i was a rare case so it sucks to hear that other people had similar experiences

i'll never forget asking him about controller prices and being told "i probably can't afford it"

it may just seem like an unprofessional comment, but i truly believe there was more to it and that i was treated badly because i beat him in bracket once

it's ridiculous because i feel like ever since i chaingrabbed him in a set (sheik yoshi), he had this deep hatred towards me

he was pretty rude and unprofessional towards me in the past when i tried to message him about purchasing a controller

i remember getting 1st at a small local, the TO posting a picture in a FB group, and then n3z commenting "wow fair wow grab" implying i only fish for those...

...things (which is a little true because i'm Sheik LOL) but it seemed like such a pointless comment especially since he wasn't even at that local. of course i replied with the "I am very mad." copypasta

i also remember playing him in bracket a year later and it was WILD...

...because he made me extremely uncomfortable during the set. he was constantly muttering things, saying things like "wow he is so bad" or " i can't believe he would go for that" loud enough for me to hear

i am usually really focused in a set even when people are salting out...

...but this was on a whole other level and it was really hard to focus

it was such a weird moment. i remember laughing a lot because it was so crazy, but also feeling confused, worried, and like i was doing something wrong. it really took me out of the game and it sucked

i just want to have fun playing Melee and try my hardest, i don't want to go through an emotional rollercoaster midset just because you can't handle your feelings

it was one of the least fun times i had playing Melee but also one of the funniest so i guess it was worth it

to this day, he is the only person that has ever trash talked me while we were in the middle of a tournament set LMFAO

all of these little incidents on their own aren't that bad, but when you add them all up it feels like bullshit. i shouldn't be treated badly as a customer...

...and as a person just because you don't like the way i play or the character i use. it is super unprofessional and really wack

it is just really baffling to me that someone could treat me like this when the only interactions i had with them were two tournament sets, trying...

...to buy a controller, and replying to a salty comment with a copypasta

there isn't really a point to this thread, i just wanted to share my experiences with everyone

i felt a lot better reading other people's stories and it helped me validate how i felt about everything

it's weird feeling comfort in the fact that other people were treated poorly as well, but i think it helps a lot because it can show us that those negative experiences weren't really deserved by many of us

thanks for your time and i hope this wasn't too hard to read lol
