In the Smash community, a '''John''' is an excuse for a player's underperformance that results in a loss in a ''Smash Bros.'' game, for example not using the correct attack, having a poor [[controller]], or narrowly losing a match, among others. It can be considered an equivalent to the word "excuse". In addition to its use as a noun, the term can also be used as a verb, where players can be accused of "Johning". "No Johns" has also seen use, primarily to counter players who are said to be Johning. Making excuses for why a player lost is generally frowned upon by the Smash community, and players who repeatedly John are often criticized for making these excuses. | In the Smash community, a '''John''' is an excuse for a player's underperformance that results in a loss in a ''Smash Bros.'' game, for example not using the correct attack, having a poor [[controller]], or narrowly losing a match, among others.
