[up][up] I think he might be one of the best Sm4sh players around, maybe. At least of our state.

I know the best player in Brazil is a guy called Player 7 who mains Sheik and Falcon I think.

So seeing as it's Sheik I pretty much have no hope of beating that guy if I ever come across him tongue

How big of a jerk are the top competitive players? This is honestly the first time I've heard of this.

[up][up]64's is pretty much just for fun or just because. There really isn't a scene.

Melee's are assholes. They're very elitist and petty, and are even bigger jerks to each other whenever possible. Since much of the competitive scene of Melee centers around them, and often takes after them, this has led to the Melee competitive scene becoming toxic to new players.

Project M's top players/competitive scene shares many members with the Melee scene, however is smaller and less toxic due to a less centralized scene.

Brawl's doesn't exist.

Smash 4's has a few assholes near the top, sharing some problems that Melee's has. However, it is much more accessible to new players, and many more top players are actually decent people.

"Why I've never even thought of entering any kind of competitive scene 101" Besides lots of suck

Also I was asking about Dedede's stace with the competitive players, not the player himself. Still, nice tidbit that the guy's one of the best players out there.

Dedede is considered to be around bottom tier, probably the worst of the heavyweight characters.

I don't really see anyone in the Sm4sh scene being really that bad. I've talked with Dabuz and Vex who are both top players and they were pretty cool guys. aMSa is also pretty much my role model tongue

[up][up][up]Really, anyone still on a game nearly a decade and a half old at this point is in that community for one of two reasons- Either the community is that strong and reinforcing or the players are that obsessive. Melee, alas, seems to fall into the latter camp.

Zero is also a pretty cool guy.

In the Melee scene, there's a lot of jerks, yeah, but there are some pretty decent people there.

I'm not an avid follower of the scene, but aside from Leffen and maybe Mango, I haven't really heard of many of the top-tiers being huge dicks.

[up]You probably wouldn't unless you're active in the Melee scene. A friend of mine is active in the Melee scene, and that's where I'm getting most of my Melee information on (besides first-hand experience).

Thankfully, Smash 4's competitive scene is a lot better and a lot friendlier.

It's more that a lot of the Melee scene is pretty elitist.

Would anyone mind if I posted a link to a Smashboards post making an argument for my ballot character of choice?

Well, I'm asking first because ballot campaigning isn't something that happens much in this thread, so I don't know how comfortable people would feel, since the ballot's become kind of political in some places.

I initially voted for Dixie but then switched to Wolf.

Is the updated website viewable?

All right, let's link it I suppose. Since it was asked to try and find places to re-post the post in question, I figured here might be good enough.

So here's a link to some thoughts as to why Shantae should get into Smash Bros.

From what I hear, the Melee scene and stuff is probably full of assholes but they're mostly just try-hards who are in it to feel cool while the ones who actually are cool are generally pretty chill since they have nothing to prove.

Mew 2 King is not what I'd call a tactful person, for example.
I actually kinda ended up in the center of a discussion about that in the comment section of this adorable video. tongue Apparently M2K has Asperger's and does have some rather unfortunate events with people under his belt but has been loosening up and is now mostly treasured for being such a genuine dude.

M2K is just Brutal Honesty embodied so if he doesn't like you he'll let you know pretty quickly.
