A reasoned justification for the "****" analogy. No one wants to get comboed, in fact with DI and teching a player literally tries, fighting with the utmost of their ability to stop the opponent from FORCING their will on you! Getting comboed is a pretty apt **** metaphor, really.

And yet in your signature is someone defending the competitive term gay, lol.

while i am clearly fine with using that term, I can't help feel that your post and your signature kind of clash a bit.
huh, you actually have a good point. I had that sig before because it was a quick and easy way to express a deep aspect of competitive gaming. In all honesty, I haven't payed much attention to it in quite a while. A new sig is in order I suppose. :laugh:

**** isn't really used often in Brawl. I think its very common in Melee cause Melee grew along with Halo 2 in 2005/2006 and in Halo 2 the word **** is overused to the point that the league (MLG) banned the use of the word and you can even get DQ'd/thrown out for saying it (to much).
This pretty much is true, and wow I didn't know you could get disqualified or kicked out from an MLG event, that must be harsh, but yes a good alternative would be for the best.

personally I like to either use OWN, or PWN!, but that's just me.

The term '****' is completely fine and I see no problem with it at all.
People use the word 'gay' to describe something which is lame, surely that would be offensive to a lot more people than **** is.
And if people are wondering what the other communities will think of it, encouraging a censor on the word is going to make the smash community appear more childish and we'll be taken even less seriously.

Ultimately the word is just another sign of what a male dominated field competitive video games are. My GF hates the word so I've pretty much stopped using it/try my best not to. We do need an alternative.
i still say **** when i play brawl, but that might be b/c i use to play melee (don't remember if i use to say it in my melee days. Anyway now i say it for most video games i play against people (family feud for the snes get *****)

although most **** is done by a male to a female it is not unheard of for a female to **** a male, so even through u could argue its not right b/c it shows male dominance in this field u could also just say its a universal thing.

I'll take a potato chip....and eat it!!!
"wrecked" "destroyed" "wrecked thier day" "Ruined thier day"

Terms that are there already. Borrow from the Marvel community. "Blue like cotton candy" "Pringles" "R. Kelly'd" "violated" (LOL)

There are plenty of alternatives that are out there.

saying "****" isn't a big deal, just like calling something "gay" isn't a big deal. It's just a word. If it doesn't have the normal meaning behind it, it shouldn't be censored.

MANGO HAD NON-CONSENSUAL INTERCOURSE WITH HUNGRYBOX AT POUND 4

It's just not the same

but you know what phrase the smash community uses that i DO like?

getting off.

LOL

'getting off' *****
I agree. Also, lol.

I dunno. I use **** a lot outside of smash now. I don't know if its a good or bad thing. ><

I like the suggest about using molest as an alternative. Or maybe, "Get sexually harassed" to be more politically correct.

lol yeah, we def need an alternative so that Alpha Zealot can say **** in front of his GF.

i think it would be sexist to make the effort not to say **** for the sake of women cause it puts them on an unequal level, denying that they are also capable of equally unpleasant non-consented sex. Lil' Wayne got *****. it def happens.

****.
Huh thats weird, I make the effort not to out of respect for them (my friends) , I dont see how it would be sexist to make the effort not to. But that aside we DO need another phrase, when I first heard it I was like "Do they really say that?" I was even kinda shocked.

I've been trying to make the switch to wrecked or owned.
