How did we, as a community, let things get this bad?

How?
>>339504991
People don't consider smash a fighting game a revenue stream of autistbux
>>339505754
FGC events have higher Smash 4 numbers.
Smash events have higher Melee events.
There's a recent push to have more solo Smash 4 events.
>>339505086
>>339505675
It's the new SG, really. Strong online presence, but super low event turn out.
>KI
>>339505754
Smash 4 is higher than Melee right now because there's only 2 gods going.
>>339504991
>KI
>lower than USF4
wew lad
>>339505975
SG had 160 people at combo breaker this year
surprised that only idiots who bought an Xbox are playing KI?
>>339505754
Florida Smash scene is huge and 4 is casual af so people usually enter it as a secondary event
>the fucking FGC tears right now
>they literally can't accept smash
>>339504991
I don't recall anyone ever proposing something be done about.... whatever this is.
In fact, I don't recall anyone here affecting much of anything.

Also, the best finals (maybe the best match ever) was Blazblue at EVO 2014, but you autistic kids will whine about weebs until the only thing left is Smash.
>>339506504
Smash is the most cancerous to be sure but it still attracts the biggest amount of fiercely defensive shitposters vs. a minority of loud, apologists for some of this other low turnout shit.
>>339504991
How come it's only fighting games? No sports, rhythm or racing?
>>339506307
>meleefags in tears right now
>they literally can't accept 4 is superior
>>339507151
It has Wario, Melee doesn't. No other argument is needed to prove its superiority.
>>339507151
>smash 4 at evo
>90k viewers for grand finals
>melee at evo
>210k viewers for grand finals
You do the math.

Some of this shit always baffled me. The western FGC, actually more accurately, the autistic /v/ermin who pretend to be FGC have the stupidest fucking opinions
>Smash isn't a fighting game even though there's a massive skill gap between top players
>Marvel is good and not a broken piece of trash
>BB is "weeb trash" but GG isn'tthey're both good you faggot
Smash 4 is a perfectly designed fighting game. A low, accessible skill floor (it's very hard to outright suck at it) encourages players to join scenes and stick around. It's also got an incredibly high skill ceiling and a wide cast of well balanced characters ensuring it will have a healthy and fun competitive scene until Smash 5 is released.
If you want to refute this, post evidence and not greentext. I like every Smash game and enjoy SF so trying to use those to attack my opinion won't work.
>>339507509
>judging a game based on views
>forgetting smash 4 was broadcast at 10 am and Melee had primetime
I hate this new gen of esports kiddies.
>>339507843
Oh my sweet, sweet baby anon. Please inform me why Smash 4 was given such a bad time?
>>339504991
Because nintenyearolds are autismal and numerous.
>>339507757
post evidence yourself first, faggot
>>339504991
>KI and GG in charge of not being dead
>>339507757
No one but shitposters care, stop trying to stir shit up.
Hell even the Smash fanbase didn't care until it became evident that mad dosh could be made out of all this, this "s-stop discriminating against us, we should be part of the FGC too!" came out of fucking nowhere. They've always kept to themselves and virtually no one on either 'side' was particularly bothered by it.
>>339507609
>even though there's a massive skill gap between top players
which is not part of the defining features of fighting games
If the best game in the FGC is a non traditional fighting game, does that mean normal fighting games are dead?
>>339507994
1st year game obviously
>>339508429
it's not the "best" it's the most "popular"
which is something fighting games never were, popular, and further strengthens the fact that smash is not a fighting game
>>339508295
Obviously, considering the supposed FGC kept the steaming pile that is ZOOP ZOOP DON'T COMPLAIN alive for years.
>>339508489
SFV is guaranteed main stage this year.
Hmm, looks like you're in an endless loop of losing arguments. I'll stop it here and close the thread so I won't embarrass you anymore. Have a great day!

It's also a Capcom game.

No wonder their game is dying.

T7 near the top
not even FR
Eh i'm happy with that.
MAybe I'm behind on my fighting games but whats PT?
Its 4th highest entrants but I honestly can't recall what game it is.
>>339505754
smash4 usually gets 10% more attendees because lots of kids play the game but it gets about 40% the viewers because its boring as fuck to watch.
not saying its bad, i enjoy playing it myself but oh man...is it boring to watch.
>>339507151
smash4 also had more attendees at this tourny.
pretty sure it was the least viewed game there.
I don't really pay attention to the smash tourneys but are there actually like kids that are under 13 that show up?
It just seems kinda surreal imagining like kids with their parents getting their teeth smashed in by late 20/early 30 year olds.
>>339508975
lol I don't even like melee but it isn't dying. That shit won't go away and keeps getting louder
Smash is a casual meme game for casual gamers. Of course it's going to attract a bigger crowd.
>>339504991
PT?
>>339512328
I've seen kids show up to pokemon card tourneys to get destroyed by fat neckbeards in a local comic shop.
Its kinda sad really. You can tell parents are irked
