I only played smash 64 and nobody cares about that one

Did I ever mention my PS2 online stories? Ratchet & Clank 3 online had {[ELITE]} groups with their fancy password-protected rooms. The public ones were a circus with cheats/trainers in play. Ratchet would just explode immediately each spawn. It was disappointing, so I'm glad the single player game was solid on its own.

I think we'll always have online game communities like that. I'm not sure if I would expect more from Nintendo, since it took them until the Switch to implement an account system.

You may have to use that Nintendo Online subscription for something else, like replaying A Link to the Past.

I do. But really just because it's fun, not because it's good for tournament play or anything.

Today's tournament in [REDACTED].

People: About 100.

Smell: AWFUL.

Salt: like a mine.

Fights: 3 and a half.

People who bitched at me for winning with a low tier character: 3 out of 5.

Why am I even still playing this game

So much salt… So much sodium…

"Look, this was never meant to be a serious game... it's a kids' party game, you shouldn't spend more than a few hours on it... 'Competitive play?' You people should get a life. Again, sorry."

It is pretty crazy how heated people get over Smash when it's damn near the most casual fighting game/series out there. If it was meant to be competitive, it would at least have rollback netcode. Even then, the FGC is far more friendly and humble in games like SF6 which are purposefully designed to be played competitively.

I dumped professional Smash for a year because I was so off-put by the saltiness, the bad hygiene, etc
I love playing Smash too, but I don't think I'll ever compete in tournaments again. I just hate the community that much.
