Since Melee got rollback modded into it, I think this would be the best time to get this off of my chest.
I'm jealous. The collective fighting game community can never do anything right. I should have never wasted any time playing fgs and should have played melee exclusively.
There's a certain hard truth that fighting game players will never be able to accept and it's that smash will always be more popular. With this, comes a larger scene obviously. So the hard cope is memes about how smash players stink, are children, etc.
I'd be willing to bet that there is a significantly higher percentage of well adjusted smash players than there are fighting game players, even if you subtract the anime sub communities. This is specifically why they have more sponsors despite barely having any help from Nintendo
