If an animation is a “harmful” behavior, I mean, I see teabagging wheh I play Smash4, KI, UMvC3, and so far I haven’t even cried. I get salty, that is for sure but…
If somebody is “offended” BY AN ANIMATION, that is just personal insecurity, maybe personal help is needed.
I dont reall care about teabags.
Its not worse then a fighter getting mad and bailing out the fight.
happened to me like 10 times today, these new guys must be getting
there butts kicked.
No, I’m pretty sure teabaggers are still playing KI. You were always able to crouch in this game; multiple times, too.
Also, “harassment”? I think you’re letting the game and its players get to you way more than it or they should. Would you call the police on someone who teabagged you and have them tried in real life? Opposed to someone who taunts you the whole game and/or sends you a rude Xbox message if they win?
Harassment and cyberbullying are actively considered crimes nowadays; do you think that it’s on the same level of a crime, or is it just something mean-spirited?
Feeling the need to be a d-bag towards others to make themselves feel superiour… Yeah, those people should seek some sort of therapy as well. You know why people do that? Because of personal insecurities. They don’t feel like they did enough by winning, they also feel the need to harrass the other player. That sort of behaviour is rooted in exactly that: personal insecurity. That’s a general thing for people who have this need of harrassing others.
Crouching was not created for teabagging though. That’s the difference. I’m not sure why you don’t get that.
Yo, Triple Ultras at KIWC is gonna be lit 
No, but seriously. Because of the increased chance of disrespect looming over our heads, I’m not sure I’ll watch the KIWC in its entirety. 
If the devs put teabaging in the ultra would you do it?
Half of the time you can hardly even line up a character’s groin to the other’s mouth because of the side switch, and you just sorta end up kneeling in their general vicinity or on top of their legs over and over. In Halo or CoD you can sorta go wherever and do it, but on a 2.5D game? Not really.
So your solutions is to get rid of crouching in a fighting game?
No put a floating sign on repeat offender like a sex predator.
Of course not. Again, it shouldn’t be necessary. Like I said above, I think it is sad that the KIWC feels it a necessity to ban teabagging. It shouldn’t be a necessity, because the players should know better and be more respectful of eachother, whether they win or lose.
The root of the problem is not what you can do in the game. It’s the players.
That’s the thing, though. If you ban teabagging, people will just find other (probably more disrespectful) ways to make the other person angry. And because now you have tried to tell people “you are not allowed to be disrespectful,” many people will actually go the other way and be an even bigger ■■■■ in matches. Except now, some of that will probably be long triple ultras that waste everybody’s time and make the tournament run longer, etc.
The real question is, what is the point of banning teabagging? If the point is to prevent people from getting upset, I think they will find their ban of only teabagging to be woefully insufficient. If the point has nothing to do with people getting upset, then… why ban it at all? The whole point of the ban makes no sense to me.
The on-screen location doesn’t really matter, though. People know the reference. It has a very clear origin from FPSs and that’s how it got the name.
Cyber bullying is not real? I will expain how real it is. To put it simply, how would you feel if everytime you got online I was there saying hateful things. Everytime you showed up here i said hateful things. Everytime you used Facebook, I was there to say hateful things. Using twitter, yes I would be there to say hateful things. As you can see cyber bullying is very real.
To everyone else.
I get that T-bag fing can be fun between friends, but that is where it stops being fun. I can give my friends the middle finger, but if i do that to a stranger I could end up in a fight.
For me the funniest part about people defending T-bagging on the fourm is that you guys are defending something that I can’t describe or show a real pic of without getting banned.
I just wonder how many people are going to try and push this issue at the tournament, and then get upset if they are banned.
Ok, last word with you.
“The root of the problem is not what you can do in the game. It’s the players”
That is just generalizing without evidence. Every player is different.
I think some people feel superior (morally) because they try to protect feelings. The rest are just having fun teabagging.
Agree to disagree, OK?
Someone who gets it!

Am I really?
All those things I listed are things that are intended to make a person angry. Teabagging is one such thing, but far from the only thing. The focus of the ban, as far as I can tell, is that they don’t want people to get upset at each other. So these things are very, very comparable, as they are all tools that accomplish that.
The act of pressing down on your controller is allowed by the developers, so I’d argue it is created by the devs. The fact that some people take particular offense to 10 presses of the down button (but not just 2 or 3) is not the devs’ problem.
Here’s another example. What about if you beat someone with Wulf, then forward dash repeatedly past their corpse? Is this a teabag? There is no down being pressed. Some people might find this more disrespectful than a teabag. Should we allow this? Why or why not?
What about in games where teabagging actually was put in by the developers like Overwatch? They have teabag sprays and teabag dunking animations. Do you feel as strongly about those teabags?
t-baggers and just dumb or cocky dumba** that think they are cool and winning the mind game by that.
I’m surprised about this decision because I think good players should be an example of being above that “scrubby thing”. But banning it to avoid hurting the game? I think it’s ok. Go, win and give a good example.
Every player is different, yes, and I of course did not mean ALL the players. Only those who feel the need to teabag as a means of harrassment. Those are the people giving the FGC a bad rep, those are the people who gives games like KI a bad rep, those are the people who are responsible for KIWC feeling the necessity to make a rule about it.
