A professional once said that only weak people provoke others.

It’s just that the command got leaked.

I like provocation itself as a way to show off.
I don’t like doing squats because they look uncool.

There was a game that had countermeasures against stretching.

It seems to relate to things like FPS as well.

When you’re repeatedly pressing down with the cover, do you really open your hand like that?

Even though there’s an appeal function, it feels like there’s no room to incorporate it.

The pro said that being provoked can’t be helped.

There are professionals who engage in entertainment when competing against each other within their own circles.

Sometimes there are people who taunt you just because they won a single round, but I wonder if they don’t consider the possibility of being taken back and losing.

Huh? I’m just embedding the trigraph, you know?

It’s not a fighting game, but sometimes foreigners keep saying “gaygaynoobnoob” and taunting a lot when they’re winning, but when they start losing, they go “My God! My God! Whoaaaa!” and lament so dramatically, which is super fun, so I wish they would do it more.
Honestly, I feel like it would be bad if I don’t get into it and provoke others, but I don’t have the courage to go that far.

It’s already the era where doing it with anyone other than acquaintances is dangerous…

You’re putting too much effort into the operation just by stretching.

Bending and shooting at corpses is also a matter of etiquette.

I think it’s lame to appeal or provoke Stan when there’s distance between us.

Honestly, I think people are overreacting too much about kicking a dead body.
I only think of it as an extension of practicing combos in CPU battles.

It’s not that it wasn’t at the arcade, but…
It feels like the increase started after the tropical spread began.

It’s not good to use a down command!

What is the purpose of provocation techniques?

I killed the guy who was crouching over the corpse, revived my teammate who was being taunted, and it felt really good to crouch back together, so I want them to crouch as well.

In the online game of SW, there were skilled veterans who were fully committed, and after getting killed, they all teased me, which made me laugh.

I will kill you now with the Buster Wolf.

Is “kussin” (squats) part of fighting game culture? Isn’t it more about online games?

Regarding provocation, the system has it in place, so it should have been free to act at your own risk.

Whether I do it or not won’t affect my play, so I’ll just do it for now.

The taunt combos that existed in the early days of ASB were incredibly unique and interesting, though…

Crouching and stretching are more related to FPS games.

I was playing games like Splatoon and Apex, so I was surprised that there were fewer low-ranked players being hunted in SF6 on my alt account.

The fact that only weak people provoke others means that those who get provoked and lose are even weaker…

I feel like it doesn’t really matter since it’s been around even before the FPS boom.

Well, there were probably quite a few pros in the past who were stirring things up while sounding all high and mighty.

Recently, there have been more commands like this, and even just having them set up can sometimes make it seem like I’m trying to provoke.

Games that have crouching or jumping often provoke that kind of taunting, so I don’t think it’s a matter of a specific genre.

To be honest, even professionals who look like they are all disciplined and proper right now…
When it had the previous name, it was just casually stretching in the tropics…

Whether those with bad personalities become stronger or those who become stronger develop bad personalities is a matter of debate…

The reason professionals must behave well is simply because they are under scrutiny from sponsors.

A third-rate person is someone who definitely does squats tauntingly at a safe timing for themselves.

I guess we’ve already passed the stage of getting worked up over stretching and bending, huh…

Whether weak or strong, those who do it will do it anyway.

If I’m banned just because the opponent doesn’t like it, I won’t be able to use reversal invincibility anymore.

In the RTS I used to play, the match wouldn’t be decided unless I either surrendered myself or had all my units destroyed, so when I felt like I was going to lose in a frustrating way, I would randomly send units around the map and then ignore it while browsing the internet.

Isn’t it boring to provoke someone whose voice you can’t hear and face you can’t see?
When I’m hanging out with friends, we play while teasing each other.

In the past, it was common to play games where you could kick the dead bodies.
The gauge for jazz studies has built up a bit.

It’s true that you can’t get strong in competitive games without having a bad personality.
Whether to bring it to the surface is up to that person alone.

Back when we were playing online with Kaillera and GGPO, crouching was a signal for desynchronization.

I just want to provoke, and whether it’s funny or not is secondary.
I’m just doing what I want, when I want, as much as I want.

Those who provoke others are just showing a childish desire for good versus evil.

I was sparring with a friend who is a 190 cm, 90 kg kickboxer, and we were teasing each other, but looking back, I think I could have been killed if I had misjudged the intensity.

It’s the right way to enjoy it to get riled up, laughing like “hahaha,” getting stirred up, winning by chance, and then being all cocky, damn it!!!

It’s not that strong people don’t provoke others.
Once you become a professional, you won’t be able to do whatever you want except for things like what Tanukana does, so that’s why you’ll become more subdued.

Those who provoke others aren’t weak, they’re just immature.

Isn’t it a bit childish for someone to get all flushed just from some awkward, stiff squatting movements that don’t really make sense?

It’s not about promoting good and punishing evil; it’s just that I want them to disappear, so I’ve made them out to be villains and driven them away.

In competitive games, there tends to be an aspect of provocation as an advantage.

At that time, there were only a few thousand people playing this minor game, but I know of an example where the strongest Japanese player was the worst when it came to trash talking and provoking others.
In the end, I think there’s only a difference between being watched by the sponsor or not.

When public safety deteriorates, the spectators become excited, but the players don’t really increase.

There are times when I provoke others or get provoked myself.

Provoking someone feels like a breach of manners, but in terms of disturbing the opponent’s mindset, it’s an effective way to win.

The moment I was pushed to the edge and then turned the tables and got the final cut felt really good.

If you’re truly strong, you’ll naturally hang out with other strong people, even if their personalities are bad.

I don’t want to be teased with squats.
I want to throw a Hadoken!!

It’s just one of the many forms of entertainment that exists in the world.
People who don’t do it just happened not to choose it.
The person just happened to make that choice, right?

The one I cut off will have their name and ID noted, and for a while, I will bombard them with friend requests, but teasing is just part of the game’s behavior, so it doesn’t really matter.

Honestly, compared to the trouble of actually fighting in an arcade with kicking a corpse, it just feels choppy.

The provocation itself is annoying, but I look down on those who provoke and then lose; they’re just pathetic.

If there’s a provocation that works better than provocation, then of course I’ll use that when I want to provoke.

Enjoy provoking others, enjoy being provoked.

I’ll provoke you because it disrupts your play.

The enjoyment of playing competitive games lies in being able to make others feel unpleasant without breaking the law, after all.

Someone whose identity is obviously detectable like a professional wouldn’t do that.
When anonymous, people can become as despicable as possible.
When I was told that I was just standing there doing nothing, I thought that there are no normal people in the fighting game community.

Although taunts in Smash Bros. are restricted online, those who will do it will find any excuse to provoke, so taunting is still more charming… that’s how I feel.

In ranked matches, there is not much value in a win obtained through trolling or provocation.

I remembered that when Alcap went to overseas servers, there were quite a few normal win taunts, so I thought, “What really counts as a taunt? Is crouching a taunt or not?”

I really like it when a pro teases a close opponent by crouching and ends up looking quite clumsy because they’re not used to it.

When I see someone mess up because they focus on baiting, I realize that getting used to baiting is necessary as well.

If you can provoke the opponent into making more mistakes, it’s advantageous for you.

Is there really a victory that can be snatched away through provocation?
There are times when I taunt in a situation where victory is assured.

I really want you to stop because the gaming population is decreasing.

I don’t play games like this, so I don’t really understand the culture of taunting with squats…
Isn’t the side that’s bending down looking a bit uncool…?

It’s just trolling, so it doesn’t count! Only the person who did it thinks that, right?

There’s no difference between making the opponent lose and making them feel bad or provoking them to feel bad.
Do you want to end it refreshingly by saying it was a good match even if you lost? That’s a weak mindset.

I don’t really care whether it’s uncool or not.
I’m doing it because I want to.

It’s fine not to over-explain it as wanting to win, when it’s simply a mentality of wanting to harass.

If the one who provokes is weak, then what does that make the one who gives them the opportunity to be provoked?

In the first place, there’s no meaning in doing something like stretching if there’s nothing else I can do.
If it were possible to kick a corpse like in the old days, that would be one thing.

If you’re worried about being uncool or cool, then you wouldn’t be playing games.

I don’t mind stretching, but for those player names that include dirty jokes or complaints about games, I think they should only be able to say “poo” for the rest of their lives.

I think they probably have never played a fighting game if they’re trying to provoke and induce mistakes.

I feel overly self-conscious.

To begin with, there’s no way to know if the other party made a mistake because they were provoked.

Many low-rank players tend to spam pins.
I think the high-ranked people would have won if they had done it that way, so why didn’t they? Then the lecturing begins.

In FPS games, it’s common for a player to provoke their opponent, causing them to forcefully aim at the provocateur and miss.

Well, the current professionals (laughs) have been stirring things up a lot, so it’s pointless to say anything.

When you go up, you inevitably have to keep up with the latest information, so those who dislike it end up being left out.

What kind of mentality does someone have when they provoke their teammates in cooperative play that’s not 1-on-1?

Well, in reality, there are hardly any guys who provoke just to win!

Those who desperately say that provocative behavior is stupid or meaningless are definitely just getting provoked and turning bright red—it’s hilarious.

Since there are only me and my friends who can actually form a match in this underpopulated game that can only be played at the arcade, I teased at the start as a greeting, but it turned out to be someone I didn’t know.

Only weaklings do it! It doesn’t work against strong opponents!
I hope that’s really true.

When I see my teammates taunting in team battles, to be honest, it really brings my mood down.

Some professionals get pumped up by provocations while others don’t care at all.

You can only obtain human rights once you reach a competition rank where there are no instigators.

When talks about character and sponsors come up, it makes me deeply realize that it has really become a spectacle like sports.

If bad behavior in the past were grounds for dismissal, then 90% of today’s professional fighting game players would be out!

Sometimes there are people who look foolish because they get carried away and end up losing after being stunned.

If I can become a pro and earn money, I’ll stop the taunting.
I’ll enjoy it while I’m still weak.

If you’re aiming to become a pro in a major game, that’s one thing, but when it comes to ranking in casual games, there’s much less demand for someone weaker than for someone unpleasant.

Because there’s no time to taunt unless it’s a situation of a stamina gap or a stun.
For now, I have enough strength to reach that point.

Looking at how teasing teammates in MOBAs and FPSs lowers win rates, they aren’t such noble beings to begin with.
Only the trash-talking in fighting games tries to pass itself off as strategy; take pride in the fact that you’re being a bad person by taunting.

Well, weak people are necessary for others to rank up…

Without making a clumsy excuse, just admit that I have a terrible personality and I provoke people a lot!

When it comes to topics like this, there are always kids who desperately want to provoke.
It’s just not that kind of era anymore…
Let’s go back to the era when we threw ashtrays.

Many people were mischievous in their youth but have become more mild-mannered as they got older.
