I'd like to say that I am always gracious in victory but honestly it depends on how close the race, or fight was. If it came 'down to the wire' then I am more likely to gloat a bit.

If I loose I usually call for a rematch. But I don't accuse anyone of cheating, even if they got a hundred spiny-homing-shells.

I'm a gracious loser. I remember I used to have (girl neighbor) whom I had to let win once in a while so she didn't go on rampage. And we were teens not kids! ugh.

But more important, today is Three Kings Day and we Hispanics get a second round of morning gifts. woot!

I don't like people sandbagging, if people sandbag I get pissed. I just had to learn to deal with losing to people who only get joy out of destroying noobs at the last second.

I'm a gracious winner. But I hate to say it, I'm a sore loser. But hey, I've actually never lost. It's the connection's problem. It's the control's problem. It's Friday 13th's problem. You know what I mean?

Depending:

If I win, I don't boast it,

If I lose, and the winner is not beign annoying, we usually laugh and play again.

If I lose, and the winner start gloating, and wins fairly (not button mashing or cheats), I do nothing, because it never happened to me lol.

If I lose and the winner is cheating or is a noob that button mash or is just beign an idiot, and boasts the win, it annoys the hell out of me, I play again, kick his ass, humiliate him, and start boasting that win every time we play the game.

An example is how my brother gave the controller to my 6 year old cousin, started mashing buttons and doing random special atacks, and killed me 1 time, of course my brother started laughing and told everybody that my little cousin defeated me, then I made him play against my cousing, and he lost, and of course that was a sweet revenge.

The game was castlevania judgement (lol), if you can win button mashing that shows that the game isn't well made, and when a noob abuses it, it becomes much more annoying (and usually noobs start bragging when they win, only for you to kick they ass until they shut up)

When I win, I try to repeat strategies I used TO win. Usually it leads to my loss though.

When I lose, I think of what the other person did TO win, and I try to make counter strategies for the next game.

I'm gracious in victory, usually commenting on how I may of had more practice or how I just "got lucky". If I lose, I wait for the other person to say something. If they don't brag, then we continue. If they brag, then I make sure to play my best the next time.

Theoretically, I am a gracious loser.

Of course, I've never actually lost to anyone in my life, in video games or anything else. I support myself with lottery tickets.
