It makes me wonder how these people function in society and if they do other things besides Smash brothers. I mean drat, all you had to do with that TV was unplug the hotel box(call up the main desk and they send someone up to do it).

they dont function in society. they just sit on reddit all day

if for some reason you want to see them in real life goto the console gaming room of any anime convention. It will smell like balls and rancid oil and be full of white kids in their mid to late 20s calling each other friend of the family and human being with no irony.

Well I guess that explains why the ones I've met get mad over consoles companies like it's 1994 and elevate Zelda, Samus, and Peach to false idols of worship.

I'm pretty sure the big donations all coming at once were because of people doing individual donation drives and then transferring it all to a few people and then they would donate the money. Also I've never seen competitive smash bros other than that wombo combo video

I obtained this title through beard tax.

Personally the only bad experiences i've had with people at fighting game events, including times we've had smash on, has been when a marvel player from another town brought McDonalds food into the pub where we hold events (that serves food and does not allow bringing in external food) and when the two TOs were calling his name and telling him not to do it he ignored them (from 3 feet away), walked off then when another local player unaware of the situation said "Hey the TO keeps calling your name" he simply replied with "Deal with it.". So yeah there's scumbags everywhere :(

Presumably they have access to more information than us. Maybe there was good reason to believe that something was up with the ST donations. If there wasn't, though, things were pretty unfair for ST.

Having been to several anime conventions, this is not accurate. The gaming rooms at the conventions I've been at have been some of the most mature and respectful gamin environments I've ever been in. Yeah, there was some good natured smacktalk, but nothing unreasonable and everyone was having a good time.

The stereotype of "gamers at anime cons are all horrible gross people" is just blatantly untrue.

Backing this with my experience, there's the occassional lack of manners and etiquitte, i.e. sitting on a set up for hours on end, but in general the stereotype doesn't fit.

The game room at my campus however fits it to a tee though.

As inane as that ruleset is, it looks like it's for casual, 4-player, items-on, and brawl rather than melee. What do the rules for melee tournaments typically look like, anything outside of no items, final destination?

They allow for more than just final destination. I think you can even play on poke floats and stuff.

One that really irks me is a hard limit on number of ledge grabs. And the whole rigamarole about stage picks and counter picks.

Yeah I'd love to hear someone walk into a room of people playing smash and complain about too many ledge grabs. It's been many years since I played smash but anyone saying that would be laughed out of the room.

Are we really using random photos and videos to claim that all Smash players are terrible autists (and bronies, apparently)? From these very threads we can dig up many, many examples of FGC players being not exactly socially well-adjusted. Mew2King is a terrible person, but a lot of top Capcom players are not much better.

I'm certainly willing to believe that the Smash community is worse-behaving, on average. But a big reason for that is that the people have been working hard to clean up the FGC. I'm not sure what Smash people have done to put themselves beyond hope. I certainly don't know of any Smash equivalent to Dark Prince or Aris.

Huhhhhh?
My favorite glimpse at the Smash community was on time I was having dinner at my friends house and one of the other guys there was apparently a semi-serious Smash player. So after dinner and poo poo we end up playing Brawl, after playing for an hour he leaves immediately after upset with these complaints.

1. Standing at far range and using Din's Fire with Zelda in free-for-all is cheap
2. Using the button combo to start as Zero-Suit Samus or Shiek is somehow a cheat my friend hacked in the game
3. My friend was a character whore for playing 5 or 6 characters (I only decided to play as Zelda anyways)
4. My friend somehow hacked a stage into the game that doesn't actually exist in any version just to piss him off

He moved away a few months later and has never been seen since :allears:

Ledge grab limit is a part of the Brawl rule set as far as I know, which honestly is just watching Apex the last two years after Capcom games finished. There's also something about controller port choice because throw priority is determined by port or something like that.

With Melee, which I played a little bit of, there was just no items and something like six stages available for first game random select, then a few more available for counter picks.

I like how they say the banned characters ruin the game's fun, yet ban like half the game's stages, most of the weapons, and situational reactionary moves, also the pausing to RSP the smash ball. Seriously pausing to see who gets the smash ball ruins the crazed mad dash to get it in the first place(where most of the action happens) that's the entire point of the Smash Ball.
