Good luck Mario
Except for diem, this will be a completely name free post, and is not directed at anyone specifically. Just pointing stuff out.

Example thread titles:

diemtheterribletroll presents: Crytime nonsense; Brawl 2.0!

R.B.D. presents: LEVITICUS!

I'm sure you see the difference. All over the place people are putting up these Brawl threads for no reason. There's hasn't been a Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride tournament tournament this year that has announced itself as BARBIE HORSE ADVENTURES: MYSTERY RIDE ONLY. There's always Brawl set ups, or a side tourney going down. Which leads me to the following thesis. All strict Brawl players fall under the following of the representations; this is without fail:

1. Brawl players, due to being new to competitive gaming, have refused to drop what they think was "Hard Work" in order to learn a new game. Without a certain understanding it might come as a surprise. The fact is, once a new game comes out, seldom is the community whole enough to keep it solely on the version before hand. That's the way things have always gone in the gaming community.

2. Brawl players who are generally unknown throughout the community, will use the Brawl tag to show support to their faithful brethren. This is to get on a level of trust, and hopefully friendship, so they may reap the rewards of the inner sanctum. Many players watch youtube videos of gamers they idolize, and would cherish the idea of being a part of something so keen on their interests, while making friends, and possibly... Having fans. Due to Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride being a larger community, or Brawl being more fun for them, they will shun the infant title, and keep a steady course backwards towards 80cent a minute cell phone plans, and moon shoes.

3. A complete distaste for people who play Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride exclusively. Which leads me to: MM me in Pong, Brawl guy. Without Pong, you'd have no videogames at all.

I'm still not entirely sure why people sit and bash a video game so intensely. Perhaps it's the lack of limelight, or the mediocre sense of accomplishment they once worked so hard for. The fact is, you're splitting the community more than it has to be.

Now, if Meta knight is banned, this will separate the community further, as someone pointed out to me. Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride, vbrawl, vbrawl-mk, Bbrawl, Brawl+. That's the biggest uphill climb a community can face. This is ultimately killing competitive Brawl.

In closing, stop being elitists. I wanna play both.

Hi Kashif, this is Wendell and I must say that I enjoy Barbie Adventuring and Sandstorming.

"Many players watch youtube videos of gamers they idolize, and would cherish the idea of being a part of something so keen on their interests, while making friends, and possibly... Having fans."

I cherish the idea to have people look at my sand and go, he's just average. I dislike fans.
