Top Smash 4 player Esam released a vid today explaining how the Smash community has gotten more toxic lately. A lot of people bullied for stupid things like their character choice even, a la DaBuz for playing Rosa. So much so that some players are actually quitting because of it.

That sounds fucking mild compared to the shit that goes on in the Melee community.

Who does this? Is it like you dont own melee and cant run netplay on your toaster? Honestly pm is a better competitive game, too bad it got killed
>>
>>322422040
>waaah don't make fun of people :((((

this is why not even the FGC takes smash seriously, and the FGC itself is probably the biggest community that can't be taken seriously
>>
>>322422724
This. Took the words right out of my mouth.
>>
>>322422724
But Melee is respected much, much more so than Sm4sh from a competitive gaming standpoint, so the community is in general stronger to 'defend' each other. Smash 4 players themselves aren't taken as seriously so you add twitter fiends making fun of sensitive guys in their early 20s and all hell breaks loose.
>>
>>322422040
But the Smash community has always been a shitmess. People have stopped playing because Smash 4 isn't very good.

Those players need to get some thicker skin and if there's shit you don't want random people to rip on you for then don't fucking share it, not everyone needs to know that your mom is sick.

It's easy to say that when you're not a public figure. It's one thing if someone on /v/ calls you a faggot, it's another if you're basically the butt of a joke that has 100 re-tweets and you can search your name being trash talked every 5 minutes.

The Smash Community has been like this since I visited SmashBoards in 2008. They consider you an inferior being if you play with items on, like Ganondorf, joined in 2008, used a wii remote sideways, wanted to have a thread about the Subspace Emmisarry, etc.

I like how there are people on this website who wonder why there are people who hate smash tourney fags.

Don't worry, 90% of this board is edgelords who don't recognize that even though obviously shitters are allowed to say what they want, but the community is responsible for it because technically they ARE the community.

Anyone who's been to an actual Melee tournament would know that all of the shit people talk about the smash community is false, at least in person. As for Smash 4, that's a different story. Smash 4 players tend to be much younger, and just shitty people in general.

Not totally true either.
In both games people are in the 18-24 range on average with some old fogies and kids mixed in.

That dude played Ice Climbers in Brawl. He should be used to people hating on him or at least taking jabs.

The rest of the community puts up with this shit. There's shit talk on the NA 64 community every day. Hungrybox is the Melee punching bag. Even mango did an interview recently saying that after a loss he always scrolls through a bunch of hate comments on twitter and acknowledges that it's just he way the net is and not to take it too seriously. Fucking Mango said something sensible. PM has to deal with their game getting shafted and losing out on big nationals and the players are still trying to travel around to support the game.

Toxicity is good, especially in a fighting game. It's another flame in the crucible that separates the wheat from the chaff and ensures that only those who can succeed while weathering the abuse stick around, which ensures a strong community.

We don't do that and a game starts to suffer from hand-holding and casualization, which is the last thing you want. Especially in fighting games, which are the endpoint that all gamers should aspire to reach if they're even remotely serious about true skill-based play.

Point is that getting to eSports is the entire point of gaming and these communities didn't grow to their current prestige by people being nice. Toxicity acts as a filter to help wash out the weaker elements so that only worthwhile players remain.

We're not going to find out who actually is truly the best by coddling people. You need to EARN your way in to gaming, and for the best results we make that process as stringent as possible.

Alienating? It's no different from losing in a tournament and falling off the bracket. You didn't make it and dropped out of the running.

eSports ARE inclusive. We welcome everyone, but we also subject them all to the same scrutiny. Those that are actually serious will endure, and new blood will always come to replace the losers. That's been proven time and time again.

Someone get their feelings hurt? That's just the nature of the ring, son. If that turns you into a quitter, there's two more willing competitors ready to take your place.

He's a moron, don't give him any compassion because hes so retarded he actually thought spending 12 months locked up in his basement practicing ice climber chaingrabs was a good life decision.

Vinnie got fucking robbed when he went to Mexico for a tourney (keep in mind he was the best player there by far), and people made fun of him for it on twitter. He had his car broken into and his luggage stolen, including all of his controllers and other personal belongings.

Yes he may have been harsh on the TO for 'allowing' it to happen but he got a terrible treatment from people back home just because he's a little bit oversensitive.

Just another criteria you're judged by. If it didn't work, eSports wouldn't be bigger than ever and still growing. Look at MOBAs. Some of the most viciously toxic communities in the entire eSpots scene and yet Dota 2 is the most-played game on Steam and the International is one of the biggest gaming events of the year.

The community set its standards that much higher with its toxicity, so that the players who made it are those who endured an even greater challenge than otherwise and are therefore that much more a cut above the rest.

You say you don't understand how this could be a good way to see who is truly the best. But really, it's actually that much more exacting than if we were to play nice.

How long have I bullied vinnie?

Since early 2011.

>>322441114
That's why you don't go to mexico.

Anyone that has known vinnie during the brawl days knows how much of a retard he is.

Competing in a party game highly suggests you aren't very bright.

>>322441327
you cant honestly say that the toxicity is what makes games like LoL or Dota popular esports, such a thing would be nearly impossible to prove

What MADE them popular is the wrong question to ask. It's a naturally-forming curation process that produces better players, which means better top-tier matches, which make the games more popular. And yes, part of the popularity is the dream of making it through that gauntlet and emerging on the world stage yourself.
>>
>>322442676
Also true.
>>
>>322442882
how does it make better players?
>>
>>322441845
armada tho
>>
>>322442989
Come on, we've been over this. It's because they've been subjected to a greater challenge and emerged better for it. Plus, it simply results in better players on average because it weeds out weak-willed players and therefore less of them are there to drag down the rankings.
>>
>>322443617
well, Armada is very well liked and we don't know how stress affects him. He could bottle it all up for all we know.
>>
>>322443825
melee is armada's playground right now, I doubt there is too much stress

he doesn't play a gay character either and I'm sure the 2 peach mains in the worst that harass him on twitter get drowned out

Zero's domination of smash 4 was even harder and he still got stressed out.
Being on top isn't all bubblegum and lollipops. You gotta train hard to stay on that top spot because everyone's gunning for you.

If you're making top 32 at tournaments, why do you care what random people post about you?

These niggas are way too soft.
>>
>>322443637
we have been over this but you still haven't explained why you feel that this will make someone better at a videogame.

just because you keep saying it, doesnt make it true
>>
>>322444049
Who said that, Bloodcross?

GUTS 4 is still a rumor, and is entirely dependent on whether or not GU can actually get enough money to rent out Foxwoods again. Source: I run PM at GU and am fairly good friends with the owners.
>>
>>322444285
well yeah, they play video games for a living.

Presumably people who choose to do such a thing live a very coddled life.
>>
>>322444426
Better at the game alone, specifically speaking, isn't what I was getting at. And it won't, not directly. But for serious gamers who have the right competitive mindset, it acts as an extra motivation for them to improve at all costs, more than they otherwise would have.

And it'll keep those with less drive out of the scene, which means everyone's focus can remain on the best players. The players on improving to beat each other and the spectators on the competitors that matter. The losers are just a distraction.
>>
>>322444831
>Presumably people who choose to do such a thing live a very coddled life.
Not all of em.
Mango for example grew up in the ghetto and would have likely joined a gang if it wasn't for melee (his own words).

So to elaborate, imagine a guy who want to be a pro football player. Hes got great throws, hes fast and unstoppable on the field. Hes a great player. But come shower time he gets nervous and insecure. He cant handle being naked around other men. All the other men see this and make fun of him for it. They post it on twitter and facebook and everyone laughs and shares. If he was a strong willed person he would conform or make arrangments for himself. But if he is weak willed he would quit football. He wants to be a pro football player but not if it means showering with other men. The other men want to be pro players and they are willing to shower with other men. It doesn't matter if the guy who got insecure about it was a better player. He could handle the environment and got purged.
