Actually it IS harder to find than other subforums. For example, if you click the Smash 4 Characters page under the main Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U page, you're taken to a huge long list of character subforums for each character. Sure, there's stickies and topics for general character discussion under that, but the character-specific subforums are utterly OBVIOUS. Plus, you would EXPECT to find character subforums separated under that link. Now let's compare that to the competitive discussion subforum. First of all, not everyone is going to EXPECT to find it hidden away as a subforum inside the "General Discussion" forum, so they might not even think to look there. I didn't at first, I just assumed there WASN'T a subforum dedicated to competitive discussion yet. And then there's the issue of visibility once you're inside the General Discussion page. Competitive Discussion isn't part of a big, obvious list of subforums, like the character pages. Instead, it's sitting right at the top all by its lonesome. It looks basically like one of the stickied threads. And who would expect to find the whole competitive subforum essentially stickied at the top another subforum? Maybe you would, but a LOT OF PEOPLE won't.
Also, what do you mean that it "doesn't warrant a higher status now"? Literally the FULL GAME is released already. More than a million copies have been sold, and there are TONS of English-speaking gamers playing the Japanese version. Not to mention the thousands playing the demo, with MANY more than that ready to join this weekend when the demo debuts to everyone. Are you implying that the subforum is intentionally hidden for now, and should be promoted to a more visible spot when the English release hits? How in the world do you justify that?
