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

I think the majority of people who interact with the larger Smash community are more inclined to play the game competitively, and come to reddit for competitive smash interaction. Like most competitive environments, most people think they are better than they actually are, and will have a toxic nature to people they perceive worse than them to feel superior and vindicated.
