Yeah, people who don't understand the "not going 100% to be nice to a new player just trying to have fun" don't make sense. If someone isn't worried about being competitive and wants to play a game with you purely for fun, you don't ruin their time by beating them into the ground. Think of it this way, if your 8 yr old nephew or something asks you to play smash with them, are you going to mercilessly beat their character and edge-guard them to death? (If you answer yes, never have children, they'll just hate you).
As for the original story. Probably could have eased up on the edge-guarding, its probably one of the more frustrating things if you don't play that way yourself and don't know what to do against it. Air-dodging thing is just stupid, not sure how you play smash seriously and not know how to air dodge...kind of a fundamental there. Otherwise, probably would have picked random if that's what they mainly do. Typically when I play with friends we all pick whatever, and I'll start choosing only random after a couple rounds to give myself a handicap, but sometimes all of us will pick random except for my one friend who will insist on choosing Kirby after using them for the past couple games and it's just kind of annoying.
