'''Baiting''', sometimes known as ''Luring''  is a tactic in which the user gets an opponent to use a certain move or tactic, usually to the Baiters advantage.


'''Mindgames''' can refer to any attempt to outguess or outwit one's opponent in the hopes of gaining a psychological advantage.  They are considered a counterpart to the player's [[technical skill]]. Whenever a mindgame occurs, players often reply with "Mindgames, son."

[[G-regulate]] describes mindgames as something that ''cannot really be defined; there are infinite variables as to how mindgames work. It's more than just "tricking you opponent into being where you want them." It's an application of technical skill, mixed with predictions of how your opponent will react. It begins to be less of a prediction, and more of a manipulation of your opponent.''

The correct usage of the term "mindgames," however, has come under question, especially in light of a recent [[Smash World Forums]] thread titled "Mindgames don't exist: The Truth," in which the author declares that "the usage of the word is overly saturated and [it] doesn't even mean anything."
