[@SaturnSnapple]

Co W Stop with what lol

[@irishjet2687]

@@AntiSVH Oh, come on. This is fully Salem's doing. He brought this on himself. He attacked the Melee part of the community viciously, and now that his downfall has come people expect Melee players to be silent and respectful? This is the equivalent of "talk shit, get hit". Salem didn't have to say we weren't part of the Smash community, but he did, and now he's ostracised for it. Good riddance.

[@AntiSVH]

Irish Jet You are way too smart to follow that stupid “talk shit, get hit” mentality, instead, recognize that Salem is simply delusional and looking for attention. Stop giving him the attention he wants. He definitely deserves the backlash but can’t you leave that to the most braindead members of your community? It honestly put the melee community in shame that they all fall for Salem’s bait.

[@AntiSVH]

Saturn Schimiya It is expected for a melee player to win a smash tournament, and yes melee came before smash 4 and brawl and lots of players started playing since melee, what’s so surprising about it? You see these types of comments in every single set of any game where a melee player is present and it’s honestly starting to become rather annoying.

ESAM IS TEAM MELEE

[@biffyguybiffy6292]

It’s funny how the melee community hates him for getting into summit but now he’s a-ok.

[@k-dawgHI]

Biffyguy Biffy first of I like both communities and I don’t care what people say but there’s a difference between people that like melee and then the idiots that would murder another human being for the game and I have to it’s very satisfying to see Salem go down like that because all he’s been doing is making it worse he feels like a broken toy right now and I do hope that he stops turning everyone against each other I like melee I have no problem whatsoever with it’s community there are idiots and those are the people that I just ignore if there’s a negative side to a community just block them out act like they’re not existent etc. I love smash ultimate just as much if not even more but that’s nothing compared to the fact that melee and it’s community isn’t all bad (This comment was made based off of years of research)

@@biffyguybiffy6292 it's not like they're gonna hate him 3 years later because a few salty redditors complained when he made it into an exclusive melee tournament (they were wrong for acting like that, btw).

I like how the commentators are so shy about the Salem beef. Like they’ll say something and you’re like “are they talking about the thing” and before they can commit to it they’ve already moved on.

[@Bawsumsawzindahouz]

I’m pretty new to the competitive smash community, I’ve heard about the community beef with Salem, but I have no idea what it’s about. What happened to make everyone hate him?

[@Forthelemon]

@@Bawsumsawzindahouz He went on a (mostly unprovoked) Twitter tirade against the melee community, randomly insulting a bunch of well-liked melee players like Armada, Axe and Mang0 who have never been disrespectful of the Smash 4 community. Essentially he took his anger at a somewhat real problem (some Melee fans being snobbish and rude about other smash games) and directed that anger at all the wrong people at the wrong time. Since then, he has only added fuel to the fire. For example, after Melee was dropped from the Evo lineup, he tweeted "finally..." which was seen by many as both an all-around dick move and also proof that he was enjoying the attention that the controversy brought.

[@properlydicedonyon3624]

@@willdg8108 aight. General Custer was a great cavalry leader. Still made some poor decisions that costed him more than he bargained for. Mainly messing with a group of people (one might say, a community) that he shouldn't have. Being good at something doesn't give you a free pass for mistakes.

After all the brouhaha that Salem has stirred up trying to make Smash players hate each other, it's pretty satisfying to see him go down. Congrats, Salem, I care about you for the first time since Evo 2017. It's because I think you're insufferable and I want to see you lose, but at least people now have a vested interest in your placings.

Actually this whole drama made the communities closer. One could say Salem did this on purpose just before Christmas, sacrificing himself to unite the smash players, by making everyone hate him
