not too long ago when I mentioned on a fightgames discord I thought I might grab sfv on a whim to see new stuff in it(only played it at a friend's house before) a random person jumped in to call me a human being capcom shill and that people like me are ruining what sf used to be
I don't even think it's a good game I just wanted to mess around with characters I hadn't tried lmao

Man its 2018 just leave Melee to its own devices and ignore the fanbase. Unless they start doing actual damaging poo poo to other games I don't care what they do.
Ive done so for years and I just watch the matches when they come once in awhile because they're amusing.

pretty sure 09er is for people who like the new street fighter games because they're new and don't know any better, so almost the exact opposite of what you said

I would absolutely not be surprised if there were 09er grognards who hate SF5 and hold up SF4 to be the pinnacle of the series (because those two are the only games they've played)

09'er is a derogatory term to describe people who came in with SF4.
That dude bitched 5 ruined "what sf used to be" despite SF being pretty different games from every game/iteration aside Alpha 1 to 2.

Internet Crowdfunding was a mistake

even if we got good stuff like Shovel Knight, Cuphead, and lots and lots of porn, it was overall a mistake.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
The Melee pedestal is much stronger than the Street Fighter one.

For one, Melee has one of the most active competitive scenes in the community as it is a top game in almost any major tournament. In contrast the most a Super Turbo tournament will get is well under two hundred entrants. While Third Strike essentially has one major tournament a year. I feel that people mostly see them as nostalgia games more than anything else.

If you are wondering why "Old school Street Fighter fans can be as bad as Melee fans", it's because...well they're right. Street Fighter IV was like warm compared to the rest of the series. Street Fighter V is easily the worst fighting game to ever solidify itself in the tourney scene. It's just that bad.

I can't comment on how Melee compares to Smash IV and Brawl, because I don't play brawlers.

The difference between old school SF players and Melee players is that when I'm blazed and chilling in the jacuzzi at CEO/CB and I ask what game they're playing, SF players will actually answer me while Melee players will just scoff at me and say "the only game that matters"

I've never wanted to abuse TO powers to ban somebody instantly so badly as I did at that particular moment

I don't really understand why you would want that to happen

the different games have sizable player populations and you can find people to play all of them with. why should they all be concentrated in one game

I was just thinking about how the SF community overall moves to a new game regardless of how many people cry about how bad it is. Sure people still play the older games but not anywhere near the same numbers as melee. NetherRealm players even switch to the latest game by the studio not just latest in a franchise. Was curious what Nintendo could do to get the same effect, cause if I was the developer I'd be wanting to get everybody onto my new thing.

at the same major where a year prior 2 melee players played a 30-minute loser's finals set in project m (most of which was coaching sessions including a portion where m2k walked offstage and jebailey had to get onstage and force them to play) followed by another 30-minute set in grand finals

I mean, running the service costs money. I wouldn't strictly rule it as trying to make cash off it. At least immediately.

ST players will never bitch about ST not being an official game at EVO or demanding that it get a Sunday Main Event spot over SFV no matter how much they hate the game.
ST players also don't poo poo in hotel pools, demand "Warmup stations" for top players, take 30 minute breaks during finals, take 30 minutes just to finish ONE MATCH during finals, and don't demand to play only on the Spongebob CRT.
