Mindgame
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Mindgames are a tactic used by smashers to intimidate or deceive opponents. The purpose of mindgames is to trick opponents into making a mistake and taking advantage of it. Mindgames are generally made and used specifically against human players, as CPUs are not vulnerable to the same forms of tricks, and require other strategies based on exploiting their limitations.
[edit] Examples
- Taunting, both in-game and directly to the players
- Standing Still: Two opponents staring each other down, waiting for the other to make the first move
