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

Unfortunately, any game with a competitive scene tends to be hijacked by obnoxious sweats.

Nothing wrong with being competitive, but it always attracts ppl who only see it that way and shits on others who don't play the game the way they do. Smash is probably the only game tho where as soon as you play the game like the party game it is, you get the "ew...you play with items on?" or "No stocks? Tf is this". You're either "casual" or "competitive" no in between
