A Beastiary of Japanese FPS Player Types
It's an entertaining read, it seems more like the kind of thing you would have other players rate you as though.
That link was a good one.Quote:

Classification: The Infantile Rage Machine (buchigire chirudoren)
Gamer skill: ★☆☆☆☆
Teamwork: ★☆☆☆☆
Growth Potential: ★★☆☆☆
Entertainment Value: ★★★★★
Pack Mentality: ★★★★☆
Manners/Social Aptitude: ☆☆☆☆☆
Description: Upon losing, unable to cope with the fact that reality does not reflect their youthful overconfidence, these creatures will often repeatedly spout what few derogatory terms they have in their limited vocabulary. It is a mistake to take their words to heart, as it is simply a defense mechanism to protect their baseless pride.
They are the best players to use when trying to provoke mid-to-high level players and will generally be the most entertaining spectacle of any given match.
Generally traveling in packs of classmates or other real life friends, they will sometimes trigger a massive rage resonance phenomenon among themselves, causing them to backstab each other.
Every loss will result in a barrage of insults and excuses of how a certain tactic, weapon, or tool is cheap. Your options are to attempt to argue them into submission or continue using said tactics/weapons/tools until they are driven into a frothing madness. Their reactions make it entertaining either way.
In Combat: Being young, their hand-eye coordination and adaptability should be high, but their pride and inability to calmly analyze and respond to superior opponents and high level players make them slow learners.
Age-wise they are generally new to the FPS genre, and very few are actually good at playing.
They are quick to hold a grudge, and will use this as an excuse when they are killed, despite their team's resulting overall performance.
After losing for several rounds, they will often make some sort of real-life excuse and leave. (It's actually kind of cute)
This is about me 100%
Classification: The Trollstorm (aori arashi)
Gamer skill: ★★★★☆
Teamwork: ☆☆☆☆☆
Growth Potential: ☆☆☆☆☆
Entertainment Value: ☆☆☆☆☆
Pack Mentality: ★☆☆☆☆
Manners/Social Aptitude: ☆☆☆☆☆
Description: Not only will they troll you, but they're actually competent at the game, making them an even greater annoyance.
One can only assume that either their personal life is extremely stressful, or they have a mental disability. Either way, they will reduce a match to sheer chaos with their trolling and combat skillz.
What the Hell would make someone into such a creature… It's easy to imagine a stress-filled life, but their whirlwind of rudeness and online gaming prowess seem to work together to create a negative downward spiral.
The most striking difference between these creatures and Infantile Rage Machines or Swankies is that they are actually good players.
They will sometimes be accused of cheating, but they never cheat and their play-style is often surprisingly straight-forward, making their resulting high scores all the more infuriating.
When faced by high-level players or well organized teams that can actually beat them, they will usually leave the server with a laugh and a compliment dripping with obvious sarcasm.
Unless you're morbidly fascinated by them, it's usually better to just leave the server and seek greener pastures elsewhere.
In Combat: They're good… They can often single-handedly determine the outcome of a match and their team will generally be the victors. However, it's a hollow victory as their mere existence saps the morale from even their own teammates.
After they depart, the following matches are always more light-hearted – even for the losing team.

I am similar, but I would bump down the star count on skill level by 1 notch on The Ace and 0 notches on LT Burning.. AKA I would be more like a 4 stars for skill.. >.> Just above average.. I'm not the best by far, but most certainly not the worst..Quote:

If we are sitting on 2 bases I will generally sit at one of them on Defense.. I'm one of those guys who doesn't like leaving an objective out in the open for the enemy to grab..
