So SSB players just went "lol sex" and named a kind of move after it?

Great. This does not reflect badly on the community at all.

As if there already aren't other things that reflect badly on the competitive Smash community...

I cannot remember the real origins of it myself. I like the name, though.

I don't. It frankly makes us sound like sex-crazed puberty-stricken teenagers.

The origin of the name is on the Wiki page linked to earlier. A player saw moves of that type and thought a thrust outward accompanied by a lingering, protruding hitbox deserved that name, so it stuck.

Yes, it's ridiculous and I wish there was an alternate term for it.

It makes us either sound like we're trying too hard to be edgy or trying too hard to create a just-as-equally-stupid fighitng game term name as KFC for X Factor Cancelling.

Still getting to grips with playing Smash on my 3DS with an analog pad inferior to the 'Cube controller's own. Seriously the Cube has the best analog stick of the last decade's controllers.

There are a lot of stupid Fan Nicknames for stuff in this series.

...though I admit that I do like the fan nickname "Have a Seat" as a name for G-dubs' F-tilt above "Lion". Teehee.

I prefer "HE'S GOT THE CHAIR!!"

Well let's think of other dumb nicknames fo rmoves and shit

Lucina's neutral B is now "SHINIIIIIIING FINGERRRRRRR GO GO GO GO GOOOO!"

Bowser's Side B is now "MEGATON PRESSSH!" in the best imitation of 3rd Strike Hugo

And Ganondorf's Flame Choke is now "ITS THE MARK THE MARK OF THE DRAGON ALWAYS FIGHT FOR RIGHT NEVER BRAGGIN"

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to add "Sex" to every attack name. Doubly so if its a female character. Huehuehuehue.

Also Game and Watch's Final is now "CHAOS DIMENSION!"

Greninja's is now "Mortals are so- NOTHING TO ME!"

Remember, spoiler mark every Hidden Character save Lucina, Ness, and Ganondorf, as they're directly revealed on the Pic of the Day.

I call R.O.B.'s Final Smash Fart Laser now. That said, that... actually makes sense for its origins. [lol] Maybe a better fan nickname will come up for a Neutral Air that's a kick, but till then, I'd say it works well enough. IMO, obviously.

Shadow?

I've found that despite Miis' specials borrowing from other characters most of the time, the rest of their specials and most of their standards are pretty unique, with some attacks that are shared with most fighters of their type (like how the Mii Brawler has the sex kick that just about every humanoid who uses feet in their attacks have a variation of).
Precisely my point!

Yes, it's ridiculous and I wish there was an alternate term for it.
I always called sex kicks "burst attacks" because it gets roughly the same point across without sounding stupid, and because not quite all burst attacks are actually kicks.

depending on your POV, Burst attacks might be even worse than sex kicks.
