Smash Bros Thoughts on teabagging in Smash?

[twilitfalchion]

Oh ok. Why is it particularly rude in smash any meta reference or something?

In Smash, it's commonly thought of as a sign of disrespect. Discouraged in general.

Taunting is one thing, but teabagging comes across to me as the opponent being rude, cocky, etc., to the other player.

That's the point, it's meant to get in your head to annoy you. They want you to be affected by the action, particularly to get you to tilt. It's basically a visual form of trash talking. Trash talking has been so ingrained in sports by now that it's unlikely to ever leave any competitive scene.

It probably depends on the level of friendship with your opponent. It's better if it happens and you're friends with the person than it's a complete stranger who is just being a dick. I can't like actively hate tbagging as a concept because I'm usually in the party of people who just crouch to taunt, although it's just a crouch and not a tbag, and my opponents are usually cpus that I do it to.

I don't play Smash with real people often but it feels way grosser to get tbagged in Splatoon in my own experience, because the camera zooms in on the guy who splatted you and everything.

Picture this:
You just Falcon Kicked off the edge of the map on accident in the first ten seconds of the match.

Then your opponent starts teabagging.

I'd be cracking up.
"Falchion kick!"
"Falchion Teabag!"
lmao

I hate it, and when someone does it to me, I always do it back when I can b/c I'm a petty boy, but I always leave that match

all during online matches, my friends have rarely done that to me, if ever

You'd have flat out despised me during the days of S.O.COM. II.

actually, I wouldn't be surprised if my brother did that back when he played SOCOM

I have never tea bagged in smash. That seems really inconsiderate to do. Though I haven't played smash for a long time, so I might be misremembering, I don't think anyone has done it to me either from what I have played.

But I have seen it a lot in Splatoon. I didn't even know what tea bagging was until I saw this thread, so I thought they were just celebrating on getting a splat. They looked kinda funny when they did it, so I even laughed a few times when I saw it. But they were actually taunting me? That's rude.

in the Splatoon community it's called squidbagging but yeah it's a little rude but it doesn't bother me when playing Splatoon 2 smash idk I don't play smash that much

I don't teabag but I do enjoy a nice cup of tea while playing smash.

squidbagging is definitely more friendly than traditional teabagging
in turf war matches people will often just start having squidbag parties out in the open and it's considered pretty bm to interfere with them

I think teabagging is rude af and it only encourages toxic immature turds to continue to act badly. No thanks to it being in any game.

I've never encountered it, but I don't think it sounds rude at all. It's a cheap taunt. If you were actually good and flexing that, then you'd do a real taunt, but instead you just teabag. Also, in Minecraft multiplayer, spam crouching is a friendly gesture fwiw.

You can't taunt in Quickplay mode, and teabagging is used as the alternative. Still cheap.

just win then they look dumb
