It's also the exact same input as mercy in UMK3 which predates tapping down on the controller like a monkey pleasing itself to "teabag" by about 20 years.
This is a fundamentally stupid thing to say.
^ This is wise beyond all comprehension though.
1800 actually. When the middle finger was invented as a means of displaying contempt or disrespect towards someone. It has literally always meant "$#%& You" but it doesn't literally mean you are trying to do so. I get where you two are coming from, that the Mercy body language isn't tea bagging but seriously...
I need to reinforce this, though.
Oh I'm not bothered by teabagging. Never have been. If I'm frustrated at a loss it's with myself not my opponent. Fighting games are humbling, mortal kombat especially so, and I feel like if the bobbing of a body up and down is what pisses you off (It isn't, it was the minutes you spent getting bodied around a stage and feeling like you can't fight back) you weren't paying attention and deserved the loss.
Yeah didn't mean you in particular just people in general.
Agreed.
I think that's where you need to level up then. You either decide to try to play a character you aren't so strong with to learn and then get ready to get dunked, or you pick your main and you tryhard. I have done both in many games, though in recent years I've mostly been a loyalist in all my games and season my bad matchups with experience.

If you walk into the salt people pave your path to victory with, you'll inevitably slip. You can teabag me fatality me or in SC6 kick my character after the round all you like, I'll be doing my part and trying to learn.
There is nothing you can do in a fighting game that will make me upset.
I'm here to have fun, whether you want me to or not.
No offense. What you're saying sounds great, and as I said most of the time I don't get salted at fighting games. I play them for the satisfaction of growing as a player as well.
Calling a dumb thing dumb is hardly controversial.
You don't have to believe me.I don't believe you.
But everyone has their moments. Whether you're not being 100% honest here, or you haven't found that situation that makes your body heat up a little and your pulse quicken, there exists in the infinite possible scenarios that can go down in fighting games one where you get salty. Someone slinging trash on Mic. Maybe you're at a local and some asshat is being the biggest loudest dick on the face of the planet about blasting you in pools and sending you to loser's. There is a situation that gets to everyone.
That's not in the game. That's not repeated crouching or a taunt button.
This was the exact input from MK3 expect you held the RUN button
I understand that now. That doesn't mean it isn't a teabag.
Nobody said it doesn't exist.
SonicFox would surely do that, just to troll.Thing is though... nobody would do it in the final match of a tournament. Imagine you just won EVO and then you go like "here have mercy my friend"... who would do that?
Sure it would be hype but it would be stupid too.
