Here's an account of tonight's happenings, skip to the TL;DR for the gist of it.
So I joined a room that had available slots, turns out the only one besides me was the host and the nick BriceTheStamped. turned out the host of the room was asleep or something and didn't play, so I went 2-3 matches against Brice, lost all although closely, and there was no sign of lag in the matches. At that point I got annoyed with waiting for the timeout when the host didn't play, so I left the room. I then got an invite from BriceTheStamped, joined the room and started a match. I won that match, but just as I delivered the final blow I got network error and the room was terminated. A short while after I got a new invite, I joined the room. Brice was then playing some other guy, I waited a while and then the network error turned up again. At this point I knew that either Brice yanks the Internet cable when he loses or he has a very flakey connection, so I declined the further invites he sent. I went around searching for other rooms, and found a room with decent connection. Upon joining I noticed that Brice was also in the room, with no losses and (I think) 3 consecutive wins. After he finished his game with the host, winning, I got to play with him and lost. Still no lag. The next match is him against the host and the host beats him down with Nightmare, and just as he is about to win there is a network error and Brice disappears from the session. At this point I knew he will disconnect as soon as he is about to lose.
TL;DR
Avoid BriceTheStamped on XBL, everything will work fine as long as he wins, the second he is about to lose he will yank the network cable and there will be a network error.
