Smashcon Story


So I'ma get straight to the point. At a cfl weekly Riot lettuce lost a 20$ side bet to my friend Hidden. After losing he refused to pay hidden. I went up to riot and asked "you aren't gonna pay him?" And Riot responded with ""Fuck no!! CFL baby!" And proceed to leave.

So I make a Facebook post and call him out about it. I tell him he's grimey about it and he responded with "stay tight" and "the only way you're getting that money is if you or your boy hit me"

I respond with how he shouldn't be bringing physical altercations here and that he wouldn't want this to happen. We end up just shit talking one another online and etc etc and that was the end of it.

So I go to Smashcon, I'm walking by the Wii U area just looking around enjoying the con. Riot comes up from my left side smiling and this happens.


Riot; So you still talking shit Manny?
Me; I said what I said, I don't respect you, leave me alone. *I walk away and Riot follows me and cuts off my.path*

Riot; You won't hit me. *Steps closer* you won't hit me. You won't do shit.

After trying to walk away once, my pride kicked in and I decided to respond differently because I didn't want to be walked over or disrespected. He was pushing my buttons essentially. I step closer

Me: You really wanna do this? Really?
Riot: you won't hit me.

Riot then steps closer to me and he ends up pushing me which makes me retaliate as I grab him by the throat and then the fight happens.

That's about it. No side is innocent as it takes two people to fight. I should have walked away and could have walked away but I just choose the wrong option and got a justifiable punishment. Getting kicked out the venue for 3 days along with Riot.


I do apologize to Super Smash con for adding Drama, if I could go back in time and change things I would in a heart beat, but this is just a learning experience that I'll hold on my chest and I hope other people can learn from my mistakes from this encounter as well.

I don't need the favor of the public opinion on whose side they are, I'm just posting this for the people who ask me "What happened Manny, this doesn't seem like you to just start a fight" and etc etc. I appreciate those who worried for both of us, we are both fine.

That is all, I appreciate y'all reading this and worrying about me, it means a lot.
