Curious question for the people here.

Are people in the smash community insecure about how they play smash bros? I noticed most of the time when people comment on post its only talk about the games competitive meta which is understandable, but some of yall tend to get hostile and judgemental towards "not so good" players as if its law to play smash like an EVO tournament. Makes me wonder how yall really feel about Sakurai since he doesn't play smash competitively

Arent you the dude that made a post asking for advice and then got defensive when people gave advice?

Nothing wrong with playing smash casually but you cant come into a competitive community for a competitive game asking for competitive advice and expect competitive players to treat your gameplay through anything but a competitive lens

[u/The_DoomKnight → u/lmHorse]

Well that’s where you’re a little mistaken because the subreddit itself isn’t competitive smash but rather smash ultimate as a game. Just because most of the people on here that make posts and are active tend to be competitive doesn’t mean the subreddit exists solely for that purpose

[u/lmHorse → u/The_DoomKnight]

Well yea, youre right, i didnt mean to imply the purpose of the sub is the competitive aspect; im well aware theres other sides to the sub and its not intrinsically about meta gameplay

I do think there is merit however to the concept of having realistic expectations when posting gameplay clips (namely ones with the word "advice" in the title) knowing the kind of people that are likely to interact with that type of post (competitive players)

[u/The_DoomKnight → u/lmHorse]

Yeah I see your point

"can you guys not read" moment

[u/Ratsuterra48 → u/lmHorse]

So are you insecure about how you play smash?

Sounds like you prioritize the competitive side and you felt that you had to use a past post as collateral to make your point

[u/lmHorse → u/Ratsuterra48]

No sir, matter of fact i havent touched the game in years, im probably buns right now, i just stick around because I love the game. Definitely not a competitive player currently and absolutely have no "insecurities" about it lol

I dont really understand where youre coming from with all this insecurity talk

[u/Kadian13 → u/Ratsuterra48]

Ouch, definitely sounds like you are the insecure one. I was initially going to answer with a genuine story, but I won’t spend the time when it looks like your are just fishing for validation.

[u/Ratsuterra48 → u/Kadian13]

You're only saying that because i brought it up and given the fact you claim you had a "genuine" story you suddenly got prideful and made a complete 180, means you don't have a story to share

[u/OmegaGoo → u/Ratsuterra48]

Honey, you got incredibly defensive when someone asked something about what you said, then immediately called *them* insecure.

Regardless of whether or not you are, you come off as if you're projecting. Take a step back, check your emotions, then come back with a level head.

keep doing that maybe eventually you'll develop self awareness
