Death By Rape's combo videos were on the receiving end of a fair amount of criticism. Skeptics argued that their skill was over-hyped and that all the techniques and combos done in their videos were not practical for serious matches, as they required a total lack of player skill to fall into them. This was further supported by the fact that other members of DBR would often be on the receiving end of the combos in the clips, suggesting that the combos were pre-planned. Despite this, many smashers attest that all of their combos were real and done in serious settings, and that most members of the crew placed very well in tournaments in their time, supporting the legitimacy of the videos. The videos also inspired many casual players to improve their gameplay and take the game to the next level, something that said players would not have done without DBR's influence.

The crew has also been criticized for having an inappropriate name, "Death By Rape," which may initially suggest a huge lack of maturity amongst the members due to the negative social connotations involved in the title. However, the crew members are respectable, amicable people who work to improve the ''Smash'' community by setting up large tournaments and events. This is further supported by the manner in which the crew members handled a [http://www.smashboards.com/threads/a-solemn-moment-for-dbr-and-the-melee-community.307383/ dilemma] at [[GENESIS 2]], where fellow crew member {{Sm|Zelgadis}} stole a donated $6,000 from the prize pool. Although the incident was emotionally difficult, the rest of the crew managed to solve the problem in a rather sophisticated way, earning the condolences and respect of many members of the ''Smash'' community.
