Being a banjo main, i can 🆔 to this. “Side b” is all ever hear with complaints, even if i don’t use it the whole time. It shouldn’t matter if i did use it, i still worked hard to know how to utilize all the things i do use with my character and i still want to learn more.

I remember saying I play bowser, not maining him and someone called me a filthy bowser player when the only character I potentially main or have the most fun with is Byleth. There are 2 reasons for it: Byleth is the most hated DLC and I love Fire Emblem as a series, although as a gamer who's played most available FE games it does have it's problems as a game but I love it very much regardless. Also bro you play Hatsune Miku now I'm subscribing for sure I love Miku too dude

[@novae6584]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Esam in this. Pikachu is arguably the best character in the game with no discrete weaknesses besides his weight, so a lot of people give Esam shit for maining him. Esam's strategy is pretty much just acknowledging that "yes, Pikachu is very good, but I'm also good for being able to use him like this."

[@Kaz999998]

I honestly think ESAM is one of the few people who have really showcased Pikachu's true potential and got other people to get on that train of thought, but I think that's less about the character and more so that he's been so ride-or-die with Pikachu that he has worked his ass off to prove that character's high viability; it's not like Pikachu has 0 weaknesses, people are just willing to overlook them because they see how Pikachu looks at a top level.

[@billross4040]

My philosophy: (When it comes to competitive settings such as tournaments), all is fair in [love and] war. If it's in the game, then it's fair use (according to tourney rules). If they lost, then it's their fault for failing. I can understand someone getting salty in friendlies if you spammed moves, wobbled, or timed them out. But competition is entirely about winning. Win however you can (so long as it's not against the tourney rules, such as shoulder-checking your competitor irl). We all agree to play Smash competitively. If it's in the game, then suck it up and overcome it. If you can't, then your opponent is better and for good reason. They played the game better. You can literally use the same strat. If you don't feel like "stooping that low," then the only thing you're winning is your own mental throne. Everyone else saw how you lost, lol. So if you want to win, then learn the game, as "stupid" as it may seem to you. Competition is about winning. Don't be a sore loser, and... basically, git gud.

edge lord 5 year old He’s trash if you exploit his weaknesses, which promotes a degenerate play style (AKA: camping out Mac), and it just ends up being no fun for either player. A character can be bad, but still annoying to fight against.

[@T3RD5ify]

edge lord 5 year old because, if we’re talking at least mid to mid high level players, good Mac players will require you camp them out. Nobody wants to play like that, and if you try to just rush in against a Mac you can get stomped. Thus forcing you to camp to be effective

[@naptec6311]

@@T3RD5ify Personally, I already semi-camp (I mean that I just wait on my side for him to mess up before rushing in) every character in the game so doing the same thing to Mac isn't gonna stop me Also a good Mac is hella scary so you're just going to camp him "naturally"

I'm honestly not sure what people's opinions are for Ken/Ryu/Terry. I mean, yeah, we have some broken 💩, but chances are you cant even do it yourself. So do you complain about something that's cheap but takes skill? Let me know your (honest) opinion on this in the comments, I'm genuinely interested in knowing.

[@samuraic7325]

Well getting killed by Ken and Ryu just look like jab jab up b and getting killed at 60 by Terry looks like T-bag side b, but I main Bayo and a lot of people say “you’re just mashing B” so I guess it all comes down to who you main and what kind of hate you get

[@scovilleassortment3829]

Their inputs are pretty simple as far as traditional fighters go. I think people get mad because of the auto-turnaround and early kills. It's tilting to get ledgetrapped by someone who's literally just holding the a button. Shoryu kills stupid early, is like frame 9 oos, has confirms, need I explain more? That being said, I like fighting these characters and pacman camps the ever loving shit out of them.

[@equinox-XVI]

@@scovilleassortment3829 ah yes, Pac Man. I've been wondering how yall feel when I play Ryu and side b through all your projectiles, same goes for Snake players. I mean it must not feel good to practice an elaborate setup and then have it ignored entirely by me pressing forward and the b button

[@scovilleassortment3829]

@@equinox-XVI It hurts when it does happen, but it just means I have to think and condition much more carefully to achieve anything meaningful.

[@HoracioFdzG]

Inkling has a straight forward gameplan but they are in no way broken. IMO they are a bit hard to use for noobs too because effective Inklings need to lab combos and kill confirms. So, yeah, that hate is definitely not justified.

I have been playing with my friends online a lot recently (for obvious reasons) abd they are always yelling at me about how I'm not good and I'm only winning because of who I play.

[@Qeboflu]

[@Pulverizer-qb8wr]

[@stans8697]

Same I think he is lower a tier at least he can be insane

[@_dxnny_duckz_]

Not necessarily directed to you, but Ness is one of if not the most hated character in the game. Side b and up b are easily spammable and he has a really strong back throw (which is fine). If you are just going to main Ness in general, I recommend you to not spam these moves and maybe be a bit more creative with your play style. The reason people dont like Ness is because of mostly strictly side b and up b and how people abuse it. If you simply just dont spam these moves, then people should have no reason to hate you and are just salty they lost to you. Or there's the other option which is to just play the character how you see fit, even if that means spam, but you will get hate. In most games, spamming is frowned upon as it seems so brain dead. This game is no exception.

[@aethyx5717]

As someone who's been maining G&W since the game came out, it's been wild to go from being made fun of for playing a bad low tier to playing a very hated high/top tier. I always insisted he was good but no one listened until Maister proved what he can do.

Playing a top tier is easy. MAINING a top tier is hard. People see really good characters and think "tHeY hAvE nO sKIlL", but these characters take a lot of work and effort to get to a point where they reach their highest potential. There are very few exceptions where someone can just pick up a good character and automatically be amazing at them; these things take sweat, blood, and tears.

The whole gimmick of smash ultimate is that “everyone is here”, so a lot of people get discouraged when they feel forced to pick from one of 15 characters that are top tiers to get results. If I’m forced to pick a top tier, why the fuck would I not just play Melee: a game that has top tiers that are a lot more fun to play and play against, has a much less campy meta and flashier stuff, and a higher skill ceiling so you’re less likely to beat someone who’s better than you or lose to someone who is worse. I think since this quarantine has been going on and everyone is stuck playing online where gimmicks and cheese work a lot better, ultimate and it’s roster are started to get looked at with more and more negatively. I cannot tell you how much my blood boils playing against Zelda online.

True story that is one of my favorite (casual, non-tourney) anecdotes: I was playing an online 1v1 on a stream as Simon Belmont. One of my favorite for-fun ways to play Simon is only using the whip. I won against a Dark Samus player, who - COMPLETELY SERIOUSLY - complained that I only won because I wasn't using projectiles.

Dedede’s Gordos aren’t super easy “Press side-b to win” spam items. One, you need to know how to properly throw your Gordos to trap your opponent (angles, snap gordos or standard gordos). Two, if I become too repetitive with them they can be reflected at me for a good amount of damage. This can additionally lead to me being trapped in a massive combo since Dedede is absolute combo food. Three, I need to to use them in conjunction with Dedede’s other moves to get a kill (such as bair).
