So follow up to this. Dude said I was gatekeeping. So I kinda got on a soap box lol
Right. Okay. You want me to elaborate on why the FGC hates the smash community? Because they don’t care about tradition, they don’t care about respect, they don’t care about proper decorum at a tournament, they don’t understand the history of the games, tournaments, brotherhood, and rivalries the FGC has had over the years. and they don’t care about any of it.
It isn’t about gate keeping. It’s about people not understanding how shit works. It’s about your community being openly and proudly ignorant about things. It’s about the community demanding something from a community they have no fucking clue about.
The smash community demanded they be apart of something that they had no right to be part of. When EVO and other tournaments started letting smash slide in the smash community immediately bitched and moaned about things not being done “their way”. And they continue to bitch and moan and complain. They want to be off in their own little world but still have the fucking audacity to demand to be part of ours.
You want your series of games that is just a glorified MUGEN (though I doubt you know what that is since you didn’t know who Terry Bogard was) at this point to be on equal footing with ours? Than fucking act like you belong. Quit being the angsty teenager who thinks they deserve to get their way because they’re “special”
There’s a lot of people in the FGC that actually really like the smash games. We just don’t see them on equal footing from a “fighting game” standpoint for a myriad of reasons. Mostly technical and it doesn’t fit the actual definition of a fighting game. One of the major reasons though is how openly and arrogantly ignorant they are to the scene they’re desperately trying to be apart of.
The smash community isn’t at EVO or CEO or any other major because those TO’s want the community to be there. They’re there to make the TO’s the most money possible. Whether it be through entrees, sponsorships, stream revenue…etc.
Maybe if Smash community actually gave a shit about the people and players that gave their blood sweat and tears to build the thing they’re so desperately wanting to be apart of maybe the FGC wouldn’t think the smash community was a bunch of whiny brats.
MrWizard who runs evo even said after brawl that dealing with smash TO’s was one of the worst experiences he’s ever had but he was going to keep hosting Smash due to how much revenue it brought it.
Real talk, they are frauds. I’m a Nintendo fan. Have been since like kindergarten. Real Nintendo fans know the damned history of the industry. These dudes are…
sheeeiitttt, so I’m digging into this Code Vein demo… as expected, I’ll be in the character creation for an insane amount of time…I forgot how much time has passed already since I began tinkering. There’s so many cool options here… yep; got him set up… Sebastian the Basilisk. This dude will be one of the most badass vampires out there, man…and so the adventure begins…
I still need to watch this press conference. I only saw the trailer. Sucks she left since SHINJI MIKAMI vouched for her as his protégé, and this was to be her directorial debut.
In Nintendo Direct news…I’m reeeeeaaally glad we have another Daemon X Machina demo, and one that carries over to the full game. I can spend all week on customization.
