Crazy behaviour by players in 1V1 PVP
This is not a complaint it’s an observation regarding bizarre behaviour by players in 1V1 PVP. I presume everyone meets players like this or do you happen to be one? In which case, why do you do it?
1/ The Runner:
This player literally just runs around in circles. He doesn't fight.
2/ The Punchbag:
This player stands motionless without fighting back. He seems to have left his machine in PVP matchmaking mode overnight.
3/ The Quitter:
This player quits if I win the first round.
4/ Mr Happy:
This player seems to find me very amusing to look at. He laughs at me over and over again before we fight. My code of honour dictates that I only taunt those who taunt me first. So in the match I’m thinking of we spent a good few minutes at the start of the fight just laughing at each other. The funniest thing was, he lost the match.
5/ The Joker:
This player spends his time running around, hiding behind obstacles and laughing. Sometimes he comes over for a bit of a spar then off he goes again. In the match I’m thinking of I put myself in the squatting position to just watch how long he would carry on. Doing that seemed to offend him. He suddenly got serious and eventually won the match.
6/ The Taunter:
This player constantly taunts. There is the confident show off player who keeps dancing or posing. There is also the grudge match player who keeps spamming the 'go away' emote at me and sometimes the laugh emote. Why doesn't he just quit the match if he has such a big problem with the way I play? This guy will even offer me a rematch during which he still keeps telling me to go away. I think he does it because he doesn't want me to go away until he thinks I've got the message that he has a big problem with the way I play. If I win I think he feels very cross because he then, if he can find me, tries to take me by surprise in the PVE area.
Bear in mind that I'm not complaining in fact I often find it amusing. Does anyone else have anything to say about this?

That player forgott that there is a combat style with defensive abilities in the game.
If you track him down often enough his mind will clear for a second and he will try to use an absorb or parry
until he realises why he forgott it in the first place... because the timing is to diffecult.
He goes back to his old default jump until he sees no other option than leaving.
8/ the Ghost:
Nobody talks about him and if you look for him in reddit, his existence remains a myth.
The myth of a simple and honourable player that fights properly and will add you after the match.
Actually hes one of many. All of my Absolver steam friends are simular and fun to play with,
but all i hear of are the worst 10% of the community.
The one who is always doing emotes which express how good he is, but every time you get matched with this player (cuz he's always on) he is lagging at a ridiculous rate and you can never seem to move while he's attacking.
10/The blockhead
Tries a little at first, but then when he can't figure something out blocks for a reeeeeeeaally long time while he thinks or something until he breaks, at which point he will immediately block without stamina and break again. If he isn't already dead, he will focus on spamming his moves as fast as he can to just get some damage, any damage, maybe even killing you once if the deck is decent (his mentors), before eventually succumbing with some form of suicide, or quitting. Will never. Ever. Rematch.
(Unless you pull a sword on him at some point in which case, salt parade)
The cretin that thinks everyone should follow HIS (or her) code of honor.
Commonly messages people things such as "you only won because you hit me while I bowed!" Or says something like, "The myth of a simple and honourable player that fights properly."
Like seriously? Did he cheat or glitch or is he using something YOU consider to be cheap? Did he really do anything wrong or are you salty?
If you find yourself fighting a level 3 player who is also a mentor and proficient at using his ability then no way is he a new player. You'd think he might level his new character up a bit in the pve area to make it less obvious? But no, he's the Obvious Smurf.
