Smash-chat

*"I spat it into my carpet...and....it's spreading...like dead-ass...and I don't know what to do"* - Casey H

## History

Smash-chat is MHS Esports's most notorious chat within the club's discord server. While at first, the chat served as a means for Smash Team 1 to plan games and crew battles, it slowly devolved into a melting pot of insanity. Words one may use to describe the chat may be: grotesque, appalling, based.

Within the first few seconds of its creations, there was an inkling of a feeling that the chat was heading towards a path to where it is now, but the team's captain, Casey H, attempted to keep things in order; however, when the chat first started, he was new to discord and did not have a full grasp over how to use it. When trying to create a poll through adding reactions to a message, the chat had to guide him in how to add "the tiny images in the corner".

Its beginnings were humble, discussing tryout games and who everyone mained. While there were sometimes deviations from main conversation of smash, everything seemed to be in order as long as Casey H didn't fall into the insanity of the other members. This all changed on April 21st 2020 when Danny L asked Smash Team 1 if anyone wanted to play. Casey H answered with a simple response—Sex. Now, he had joined the degeneracy of the chat. From this point on, whenever members wanted to ask for games, they asked for sex.

COVID-19 only worsened the rate at which smash-chat devolved into insanity. With the entirety of the team being terminally online, smash discussion was pushed almost completely out the window. A majority of the time, smash-chat wouldn't even play smash. Games would vary between Minecraft to Guilty Gear Strive. It had come to a point where smash-chat was simply a poorly disguised puppet chat used by its members to talk about literally any interest they shared in common.

## Sex

Whenever a member wishes to play a game with other members, they will @Smash Team 1 in the chat and say "sex". This is universally understood to mean that they are looking to play and talk in voice chat.

Because smash-chat barely plays smash, there are many different variations of sex.

## Brandon Moment

A term coined by the team to describe an easily preventable, incompetent action that could have been seen from a mile away, usually performed by Brandon. Because of Brandon Y's repeated Brandon Moments, it was named after him.

Some famous examples are as such:

During one season of HSEL, Brandon played against a K. Rool in bracket. During the first game, he played Hero and easily beat his opponent. This caused him to become cocky and try and style on his opponent. He selected Sheik game 2 and got utterly dominated. Instead of making the obvious choice to go back to Hero, he decided to stick with Sheik and lost the set.

On another occasion, Brandon was supposed to pay for HSEL. When asked about this by Casey H, here is how the conversation occurred:

> "Uh, no" - Brandon Y

> "I knew you would say that" - Casey H

## The December 10th 2020 Murder

On December 10th 2020, Andrew H was rambling about Nintendo products to an audience of nobody when Alex Z decided to unload one of the most brutal responses in all the smash chat history: "Your entire personality is just discord it's unreal". This was followed by Danny L reacting by sending an edited image of Trunks from Dragon Ball Z looking in awe and horror and saying, "I literally just saw a murder". This interaction would not only send ripples throughout smash chat but the whole server as well. This event would be the birth of the :bern: emote, which was the aforementioned Dragon Ball Z image.
