this is 100% @mutantprivileges fault.

The more adventuring a knight does, the more banged up his armor gets. So if you get rescued by a knight in shining armor, you probably got rescued by a really shitty knight.

you ever notice how whenever the melee community gets called out for its various shitty things (being actual thieves, having bad attitudes, throwing a shitfit whenever their game MIGHT not be at evo despite the game’s top 10 players not changing at all over the course of several years) their go-to response is “lol well u just mad u cant beat me cuz u cant do a hiphop skadoodle mcgoo backwards sidetrick” 

and whenever a new smash game or smash clone comes out, melee players immediately write it off for attempting to make smash more accessible to newcomers 

melee players don’t want a new game. they want melee forever. not because they enjoy the game or think it has any longevity or merit as a community, but because they took the time to learn how to play this busted glitch-ridden children’s party game and they don’t want to lose that feeling of superiority they get from knowing how to wavedash 

new smash game lets you move extremely quickly without needing to wavedash? not as good as melee, because that means people who didn’t bother to learn melee’s dumb tricks can play it and enjoy it. 

it’s gatekeeping. plain and simple. melee players think knowing how to glitch a party game makes them better than you and anything that challenges that idea drives them in to a frenzy, busting out tired and disproven arguments about how combos in real fighting games were glitches to begin with, and how wavedashing isn’t a glitch because sakurai knew about it and didn’t remove it 

they just don’t want new people playing smash. because if anybody can play smash (like nintendo always intended), it means they aren’t special.
