Yeah, I think doing something funny but not rude would be good. It's great that you're not buying into the whole BM ceremony thing :3
1) Handing out gift bags would be HILARIOUS--put in a target with your target with you face on it or something ROFL 2) Do something really, really stereotypically American as people have said! Maybe do that Yosemite Sam impersonation, or take out a fake gold chain, put it on your neck, put on sunglasses, and do a "gangsta pose"! Or put on a garish Uncle Sam hat...! 3) Throw a random surprise birthday party for each person you beat! :D
Most of your suggestions seem way over the top to me o.O I'll explain my thoughts a little on each of them =)
A. Nonono NEVER apologize for winning in a competition. That is not proper behaviour. When you win you need to stand proud so that they can feel okay about losing to you. And allowing you to play is not their decision, so don't give them credit when they aren't responsible :p
B. They probably want to hang out with their own teammates and friends though, don't you think?
C. This sounds very strange, I've never heard of a competitor giving gifts to the people he defeats :S Could also be interpreted as pity.
D. This would just be plain creepy :p Chances are he doesn't think he played awesome (most people don't when they lose). This would also very likely be interpreted as pity.
E. Yes, this is a good move. Also, do a toned down version of the earlier ones by going over, look them in the eyes and shake their hands. If you want to show respect I reckon this is the best way to do it. In your alternatives the actions could either be interpreted as you belittling them directly or indirectly by belittling yourself, the guy who beat them. A handshake with a straight back shows respect both for yourself and the opponent.
Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter. Thank you for being awesome, and I hope you get to do a lot of ceremonies in Korea! =)
Sheth, enjoy your very first one, sit in that booth for 15 seconds and just let it completely soak in and what youv'e managed to do. Celebrations are reserved for your 2nd win if you ask me
So i dont want to insult you, but your ideas dont seem fitting at all. They arent really celebrations and if i were the losing player in a competition and someone came over to me right after the loss, no matter what the competition and no matter what he would say, i would not be in a better mood. If you really a the nice guy people are saying, you should try not to insult them and at the same time try to show off a little bit of your charackter.
So how about you wear a "I heart Korea" T-Shirt. Hide it and after a win show it to the cameras and show your respect towards them this way. I think for your first time it would be harmless, friendly and respectfull ceremony.
Most important thing though is, ceremonies in general should fit the charackter of the player. MC is cocky and he overemphesises this aspekt of his "known personality" during his ceremonies.
wow after working 12h and drinking my english sucks more than usual ^-^ Sheth hwaitiiiing ... !!!
I wouldn't interact so personally with the player you defeat. From the games I've seen, Koreans seem to get pretty fucking upset when they lose, so it might be rude to go up to them. Doing something for the crowd would be cool, but don't go up to the player.
