...is a word that should never be used in competitive gaming forum.

It's a dumbed down way of referring to a character's option select/mixup potential or lack thereof, and the ability of a player to take advantage of this- usually in unique ways. Often times it's just a filler word used when somebody doesn't know how to explain a concept using real fighting game terminology.

Also, continued casual use of this word will only continue to transform the minds of new players into mush. Good job, folks.

Eh, I dont agree

cbf elaborating in the same way you didnt elaborate

I very much agree with this.

Often times, when you say "mindgames" you're referring to stuff like baiting your opponent into a move or something like that.

Anyway, it's better to just explain what you're talking about rather than say "mindgames"

Are mindgames real? Heck yes.
Should mind games be used for match-up ratios/disscussions? Heck no.
