This article is about dishonorable Smash excuses. For the smasher, see John Padilla.

A John is an excuse for losing, missing a recovery, being hit by an attack, or any number of unfavorable events in Smash. It is a statement or action that detracts from the validity or quality of a competition (or its implied significance), irrespective of truth. Moronic, butt-hurt scrubs often use johns when they lose.

The term John, according to California smasher HugS, comes from a Smash player in Texas (named John) who would consistently invent excuses every time he lost. The term "Johning" became commonplace in the community, as others grew tired of his excuses, thus coining the term.

In Europe, the term "Yuna" can be used interchangeably with "John", here referring to the Smasher, Yuna, who has the same habit. It's most commonly said completely in Swedish, "Inga Yunas".

No Johns

The phrase "No Johns" means "no excuses". It is frequently used as a retort when another player uses an excuse.

Example:

• Tourney winner: GG.
• Butt-hurt scrub: You only won because you spammed dsmash with mk, no skill, I HATE U!!! *cries*
• Tourney winner: No johns
