So, I have a question I haven't been able to find the answer to.
As you know, I've been playing Smash for Wii U, and I noticed that sometimes in online matches, other players will just stand around and repeatedly crouch for no reason.
At first, I thought this was meant to be a taunt, like "tea-bagging." But I've also seen it used in contexts that don't make sense as a taunt. For instance, right at the beginning of a match, multiple other players will just stand around crouching. Sometimes, they'll move on to other actions, like dancing around, but they'll never actually attack each other for the entire duration of the match. I wondered if this was maybe the Smash equivalent to Splatoon's "squid parties."
Maybe I'm just naïve, and it's simply a taunt. I've done some searching online, and I've found old discussions of other people confused by this, but there was no definitive answer for what it means.
Can you guys explain this?
