Just don’t get mad when no one wants to play you, everyone cheers when you lose, and people refuse to fist bump after the game.

[@vaexsil]

It's not that serious, bro 💀. It's so obvious that this is satire as well...

[@rawrbecca_]

@@vaexsil Doesn’t seem like satire in the video, other commenters seem to think it wasn’t satire either

[@vaexsil]

Well it was...

[@Drawmation_]

@@vaexsil You say that this video is satire, but you directly contradicted that in a previous statement of yours, "People in the comments telling me I'm wrong while taunting was made to be toxic is something I will stand for." So which is it? Is this video satire or not? Do you think being toxic is good or not?

[@vaexsil]

If we look at the facts, being toxic is optimal. That is just true. But I originally made this video as a joke. It's a joke with me and a friend and I decided to take it a step further.

[@clunk238]

This is true, infuriating your opponent with a little toxicity is just another tool to win the mental game, but I would avoid taking this toxicity out of the game in any way. In my opinion, it will earn you more hate than it's worth. Regardless, tilting your opponent so they start performing worse is genuinely an effective strategy that I think shouldn't be so frowned upon. At the end of the day, if you're irritated by someone taunting in a videogame, you bear the fault for letting it get to you and distract you from what matters. Ignoring toxic behavior and trash-talk is the simplest way to avoid getting tilted, and I believe it's really not that hard when you realize how nonsensical it is to be angry at a videogame character performing various silly gestures.

[@vaexsil]

I agree that because of the community, it is better not to use this strategy. But getting angry at taunts or tbags is, like you said, more the fault of the person getting triggered.

[@psyk1k986]

The last time someone tried to troll me at a local, I pinched their bicep and almost made them cry. Soft boys shouldn't talk trash even if it's not serious, because my pinch wasn't serious, so why you crying? I prefer a more "mentor" or chill strategy when interacting with people, not the "don't touch grass and my girlfriend cheats on me" method you speak of. That way, people don't talk shit behind your back lol. Unless it's silly ball busting around friends.

[@lgschaef]

I understand that it may help to win but don’t encourage being toxic man. It just makes the competitive scene worse and less fun for everyone.

[@vaexsil]

I think that as long as your not personally attacking someone, it's okay. I get what you mean tho.

[@itsagameriag]

This is the primary reason I didn't want him to make this video it's quite cringe tbh.

[@vaexsil]

It's good content + I said multiple times that being toxic is not the same as being a bad person and explained that as well so I don't see the problem.

[@psyk1k986]

@@vaexsil meh. If you can be toxic about something as miniscule as smash, it says a lot about you.

[@Ccosmic]

womp womp

[@TortleV3]

But sorry for asking but if you see this comment would it be possible to turn down the volume of the musik for your videos because it makes it harder to understand what your saying even though the Musik chose is pretty good.

[@vaexsil]

Yeah, people have been telling me this. Every video I lower the volume and it's still too loud, the reason it sounds so loud in the end is bc I forgot to turn up the volume of my voice.

[@peachyman8211]

It kind of just makes me sad and lose motivation to play a game, thats why i cant support it

[@vaexsil]

I get that.

[@rawrbecca_]

Also, what about screaming as loud as you can when your opponent is trying to do a precise input (like Luigi 0-td), pooping your pants before the start of the set to distract your opponent with the smell, and wearing a shirt that has a photoshopped image of you making out with their mom? Where do we draw the line?

[@vaexsil]

Bro, I didn't even say this 😭💀. I clearly specified MULTIPLE TIMES that there ARE limits.

[@rawrbecca_]

@@vaexsil All of the things I mentioned would give you an advantage, and are legal to do. So why not do it?

[@vaexsil]

The examples you give are so unrealistic as well??? Who would shit their pants before a set????

[@rawrbecca_]

@@vaexsil there’s an NFL player named Channing Crowder who used to pee his pants every game for a competitive advantage. If pooping your pants can distract your opponent, why not do it? It’s fine to be toxic to win right?

[@vaexsil]

You wouldn't even be able to do that since you would get kicked out. That's so unrealistic.

[@sora4440]

This is something that has been known and done in almost every sport. Its just playing mind games. Unfortunately, gaming communities are too soft to understand that trash talk and brash behaviour are useful tools to gain a competitive advantage against opponents. Its why home field advantage exist in sports. It takes a mentally tough individual to not let it affect their game...

[@vaexsil]

I agree, I can definitely see why people don't like it. But I agree that the gaming community doesn't like it, especially the smash community, they are so toxic, but when it happens to them, they are the biggest softies.

[@sora4440]

@@vaexsil Yea tbh, the Smash community didn't used to be this bad. I mean back in the Melee days, everyone talked hella shit. Thats how we had the whole East Coast vs West Coast thing. Just mad trash talking on smashboards that eventually led up to FC3. Tbf, other gaming communities have gotten soft too. The FGC days in the 00s and 10s were some crazy times. Popping off used to be common and now popping off can be seen as rude. Times just change...

[@vaexsil]

Yeah. But that's how it is. If I'm right, I'm not just gonna say I'm wrong, tho. People in the comments telling me I'm wrong while taunting was made to be toxic is something I will stand for. I'm not gonna "admit" that I'm wrong.

[@sora4440]

@@vaexsil I don't think its a right or wrong thing. As long as you aren't breaking any rules of the competition, all is fair. There are gentleman and unwritten rules in alot of competition but who cares. Baseball probably has the most gentleman rules but they still don't care. We still see people getting butthurt about bat flips so. Are trash talking and bat flips against the rules?? No. But are they lowkey disrespectful?? Yes. But in the world of competitions, anything that you can do to get an advantage within the rules is fair...

[@psyk1k986]

So if a player is at a local, and says I need to get better, is it fair to say "if I had a dollar for everytime your mom and girlfriend said that to me about you in bed, I'd be rich"? Or pinching their cheeks like their grandma and call them cute?

[@CocoaBean3977]

I don't want to dog pile on this person for their video but I will say that as somebody who competes competitively in locals for smash ultimate, being toxic in order to get the win may give you temporary victory but it's so much more rewarding to defeat an opponent while both players are at their best. Plus it doesnt breed a negative mind set in other players or yourself in the long run. Good mentality and earning those wins with your practice and skill far outweighs the wins you get by hurting the other players mentality. I'm personally not someone who gets upset at taunting or teabagging but comments out of the game are just going to make people either laugh at you (not in a fun way) or not want to engage with you. I know this point is mostly made at the end but then why not start with that?

[@vaexsil]

I kind of mentioned it throughout the entire video that I think that making actually mean comments is just being a bad person. I just said that a sarcastic comment is okay. I don't see what's wrong with a dumb little joke during a set. If the other person asks you not to do it, then yes, you have to stop. I could see why you don't like them, tho. But getting mad over taunting and tbagging is a problem of the player getting angry/ triggered too fast. I could see getting irritated by tbags, but taunts were designed for a reason, so I think getting mad over taunting is more of a personal issue.

[@CocoaBean3977]

@@vaexsil if im playing casuals with friends, sure a little joking is one thing. but if youre in a match that matters to you and the opponent wants to try talking smack during the set or after a win, I dont really see the merit in that anymore especially if i dont know the person. im sure every friend group is different but i was more concerned with making these comments to people in tournament settings with randoms. people are there to play and win and have fun not listen to someone's attempts at mind games yknow?

[@psyk1k986]

Only works online. I'm a semi pro fighter and in great shape, quite attractive with a good career. Nothing bothers me haha. I've won a couple locals and lost some recently, but people aren't toxic to me because I'll give them a dead leg or steal their girlfriend, if they have one. I'll gladly get DQd knowing some clown who thinks they're cool for playing princess peach and beating an electric cartoon mouse can't walk because of a light punch to the leg. "Have your girl save you" as i wink at her. A good one is getting the girl to smile after you tell them they couldnt stop me from doing it haha. Note im very humble, but ill bring the shit talkin to a real level, real fast when your only skill is smash and you think you can get under my skin. I will have people laughing at you so fast and with my public speaking skills, they will take my side. I'm also halfway decent at the game. I do well at my locals. All but four characters in elite smash as well. With a busy life, I haven't really pursued bigger tournaments though.

[@dexxle]

vaexsil is quite the name

[@vaexsil]

Thanks, I know.

[@TortleV3]

Nice Video man also love the fakt you used Smash as an example as a German who has played smash bros for as long at has been out and loving to be Toxic this video is very entertaining also love the way you Elaborate on some points 😊

[@vaexsil]

Really appreciate the kind words man ❤️

[@MD-se8ft]

Taunting or tbagging does not mean toxicity . toxicity is bad and the smash community is filled to the brim with it. Don't encourage such behaviours, there is a reason why leffen is hated.

[@vaexsil]

I get what you mean. But tauntung and tbagging are considered toxic. And I don't think being toxic is a bad thing as long as you stay within your limits.
