True. They're not the same at all. The concepts are though only when it comes to online play. The finish them options are available. Yet I'm pretty certain that most people just want those that won to knock them down instead of forcing them to waste a few extra seconds to watch their character get killed. As for smash bros emotes don't exist. Taunting does. The main developer didn't like the idea of taunt parties existing in the 3rd installment. We're now at the 5th installment where taunting online is disabled if you're not in a custom room. Those that have played between the 3 games knows why. I do have a few other examples I could show, but I would be wasting time then.

The point I wanted to make is that the whole idea of removing emoting from pvp sounds very silly at best. It does nothing for the gameplay. It only does something for the player experience. It's a 'feel good' change that you're suggesting. If you want to remove it by all means, go ahead. I won't be bothered by it since I hardly use them to begin with. I even don't mind helping to push for this change. However, I would not be surprised if other people found yet another way to make those that are tanking the floor even angrier in the future. The only clear example I can come up with happening is the patch where the developers made the change to make fireworks and all other items not related pvp items unusable. If that was supposed to solve the problem this thread would not exist.
