Petition to recognize esports as legitimate sports in the U.S. to solve denial of entry

You’re acting like capcom makes smash.

That’s harsh.

You better label this shit an editorial and let everybody know it doesn’t reflect the views of shoryuken.com or shit might go sideways.

They don’t. This is just for the lazy and scared bitches so that they can feel they did shit.

I don’t know man I got the daily shower, deodorant, brush my teeth use mouthwash. I have top tier hygiene. Don’t stereotype. I don’t assume everyone in the FGC is like that fat slob at evo that couldn’t climb up and down the stage.

Cop out of the day over here.

I don’t know man, money is money and it’s just THAT easy right?

I really don’t see the harm of them being at the same event. Tekken had nothing to do with Capcom fighters, neither did MK but there they are. Granted, Smash is different but if I had to group it with a genre for events it’d have to be fighting.

This is all really moot though, you know why Smash is at all of these events? Numbers. Numbers=money. TOs like money so Smash probably won’t go anywhere.

At an event for Street Fighter for over 15 years, and Smash included only 2 years?
Good to know how petty and weird salty that community would be though!

If we are supposed to talk about games in here- we are not, learn to post.

1 Button Yun? Where they do that at?

Keeper Jin is 1 frame links every button/attack pressed the whole way thru

Straw man. I told you and you didn’t understand. That’s on you.

It seems like you do not understand no matter how many times told.

You have to give respect before you get respect. its a simple, albeit grown up concept.

Concession, excuse given to an entire community. Yeah you’re only 1 guy, but you’re choosing to speak for all of them. And how long did you think about to come up with that. Its just a knee-jerk defense. ‘So, no, you.’

what kind of attitude is that for a community you both claim you say you are in, and want to be a part of. Its more like evidence exactly to the contrary. You were never down. You’re only taking up space.

The answer to that isn’t them accept smash like you went on about. Why dont you play or even watch other games.
So FGc is supposed to like watch and enjoy smash, they can’t have the same opinion?

because you dont have to. exactly.

but keep acting like we have to accept you or else the esports!!!

SPORTING EVENTS REQUIRE REGULAR SHOWERS and have them in all player lockerrooms!!!

(DO you jerks also not wash your hands when serving your burgers… :bluu: )

Not really since I’ve never claimed it was a baby shit easy game, I’ve always said it was boring, and that I don’t want to play a boring game snd that my specific problem with Smash as a competitive game is that it is fucking boring. Smash is tough, I’ve never said other wise, but tough doesn’t automatically equal fun, and I play games to have fun. Smash Tournament Rules are fucking bring as shit, and I am not obligated to play your game to prove I’m good at it (I’m not) in order to talk shit about it and how fucking boring it is.

You don’t get to set some magic fucking rules about what reasons are good reasons for people to not like you’re fucking game. Since I never said your game was baby shit easy, I’m not beholden to need to prove it’s easy baby shit in order to say I don’t think your game is worth my time.

In fact no one here is beholden to any criteria you set for anything about Smash, period. The conversation isn’t even about Smash being easy or not, you’re derailing the conversation.

No not really. I get paid okay for what I do. Not as much as I want but I’m not exactly broke. I don’t want to spend my free time getting good at a game to make money I can easily make doing something more fun and adventurous like getting a freelance assignment.

That was the joke…

Keep in mind I dropped all video games to go to university and then to work my ass off in my field. So yeah, all smash would do is distract me from other things I find more enjoyable and pays more.

You’re still generalizing the whole community to make the capcom one loom way better when in reality it’s not and probably on par. Both sides have done some bad shit but god damn, you just have some sort of vendetta against smash and there’s straight bias here

Welp thread went to shit and on a whole other tangent about acceptance and other bs.

Want to call it esports, whatever.

E-athlete or athlete in general when in regards to video games is fucking stupid.

Stay on track plebs, get back to the funny.

Motherfucker, this is embarrassing. I’m using my phone to browse SRK and I see that image pop up as I’m scrolling, and thought I accidentally starred the fucking pokemon thread, thinking I just got a notification from @Mood4food77 replying to it in real time. So I go looking to unstar it and got really confused when the last post was from an hour ago. Fucking hell.

.

Niggas really don’t like rogue ass?

Maybe if it was Felicia or princess peach huh?

I don’t get the complaints either. Now if you want to display some Felicia or Princess peach booty by all means. But Rouge is also just fine with me.

Also real talk. This talk about Smash players hygiene. Is it actually the problem ya are making it out to be? Or was it just like a few dudes who just ruined it for their community?

No, it’s a requirement.

And this proves why Smash should never be alongside fighting games, much less considered one. What fighting game do you know of that intentionally disregards a built-in feature for which the rest of the game is designed to work alongside of? You don’t see SF tourneys banning all super moves, wake ups, special moves, throwing, etc; unless this tourney is hosted by children who also added the rule that you can tell your mom on the opponent if they use any of these banned moves.

For as long as I’ve been here (and I know even longer than that), there’s been a philosophy of “play to win”. Part of this includes using all the tools a game gives you, and either using them to your advantage, or finding a way to beat them. Not “uh let’s all agree to never use this because we can’t be bothered to figure it out”. Only in the most extreme circumstances would you ban a specific character or a specific move, but even that’s rare, and I can’t recall it ever being as broad as to ban a mechanic entirely. You wouldn’t ban items from Mario Kart, because your scrub ass is gonna need that red shell or super star to make up for how shit you are. I recently watched competitive F-Zero GX where the players use custom cars, and exploit the mechanics to try and win. With the exception of the obvious air checkpoint glitch and maybe snaking they just take what the game gives them and roll with it.

So why is Smash the only game that does this? Notice I said “game” and not “fighting game”, because you’re not a fighting game if you have to take an existing non-fighting game and fake it like a Smash player’s girlfriend to make it “competitive”. I’ve played Smash without items too, I just don’t call it a fighting game at that point, I call it half-assed and boring, which is why I won’t watch a half-assed and boring tournament at EVO again. People want to see everything a game has to offer and how these features are used at high-level play. Flat out rejecting an entire system of gameplay makes it look like the players just don’t want to bother trying to use this ability that players of other games have called learning, and then strategizing around them. And then their delusions demand that the rest of the FGC accepts this stripped-down version of a game as being the same as the games that use all their features.

And I don’t want to hear shit about “items can hurt you too”. I play FPS games. You know what most of those games have? A rocket launcher. You know what a rocket launcher causes? Splash damage. You know what splash damage can do? That’s right, damage the person who fired it. I’ve seen plenty of times where a player in a 1v1 match frags themselves (either accidentally or intentionally) by either weapon or environment, yet at no point have I ever seen anyone demand that splash damage and lava and slime and the void be disabled. Because these would be demands only a pussy who can’t be bothered to learn how to avoid damage makes.

Maybe if Smash started using items and showing off its full ability as a game, then maybe Smash players can start using items in their real life adventures such as their brains. Or at the very least, soap and water.

We love Rogue ass.

We just wish a good chunk of it wasn’t… rogue.

As it is, it’s one of the most half-assed avatars I’ve ever seen.

If its in the game

Smash was not a community addition by the community who attends EVO.
It was a donation incentive. Where was Smash on SRK before.
These are the facts, not as presented. But as they are.

(but the community donated HAHA I LIKE ANIMALS, FOX DILDOS!!
Don’t make me get the Rugrats macro)

Bias = You are only there for you. You are not there for ANY OTHER GAME. FOR ANY PART OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. You admitted this. You continue to live by it.

No excuses and platitudes to justify it by whatever pops in your head next: its boring, i cant understand it, i wont even try, i dunno, my mom dont buy hadoken consoles, thank gawd omg did i swear, RYU was added to smash!!! BEST GAME EVER SONIC CLOUD MARIO

Don’t quote 1,000 words to write 20, not even if that’s ok in your community, friendly magical forest skiditto forums or you are ignorant and don’t know any better. In fact don’t ever quote me again.
