    Does getting overkilled by your opponent frustrate you or do you think it's just a natural part of the game?  Personally, it infuriates me but I just wanted to see what the rest of you thought.

    Do you mean the Critical Finishes? I haven't had one of those in an online battle yet. If you beat with them a lot then you need to block less.

    If you mean someone hitting you on the ground after they've already beaten you, I love that about SC.  I just take it in good spirits, and dish it out when a win was especially hard to get.

    So you're asking if we are sore losers?
    I'm not a sore loser, if someone wants to defile my corpse I'm cool with that.

    *shrug* I wouldn't do it out of courtesy, but I don't think I'd be too taken aback by it.

    I like it. It adds a comical element to the fighting.

    My favorites are Cervantes' lift-a-dude-up-and-shoot-him-three-times move, and Siegfried's five-hit P-Town Stomp.

    It only bothers me if they spammed a move to win in the final moments and then do it to my body.

    I do it every match. Every. Match. I think it's hilarious.

    The fact that it pisses some people off so they do even worse in the next round just gives me more reason to do it!

    It's the same thing as corpse humping in FPS.

    Humping makes me angry because stick it to FPS, Whacking my body repeatedly is ok it only makes me angrier and play better. Using one move the whole game than accidently doing it on my body because your a button masher not ok

    Id like to say im okay with it since i tend to do it to people, but really it pisses me off pretty bad when someone does it to me. Sometimes it doesnt if theres a certain eligence to it, but if there just mashing buttons at my dead corpse i get really annoyed by it for some reason.
