The comments section here reminded me why I'm no longer part of the smash bros fandom competitive players repeating their annoying and arbitrary anti customs speechs ad nausem without giving reasons why that haven't already been debunked to no avail by the pro customs side aside.
I always knew the smash bros community was both childish and immature at times more so than other FGC communities due to it being a Nintendo franchise, but holy hot damn! All the keyboard warriors crying en masse about Cloud's unexpected appearance in 4 and whining that THEIR preferred smash bros character of choice didn't get announced instead is just
....astounding not to mention
pathetic of them.
Can't you just be glad that Nintendo still cares about this game? Can't you just be glad we get regular patches that iron out bugs and moves that make one character too OP? Can't you be glad that all these gaming companies like Capcom and Square regardless of your personal opinion of them as a business are willing to play ball with Nintendo by lending them their most popular characters for Nintendo to mold into fighters?
A game with
THIS many
fan favorite video characters only happens once in a life time so the least you could do is be grateful for the above reasons I mentioned and not scream at Nintendo like a self entitled brat just because you didn't get your way (yet) in regards to whom you want to see put in the games roster.
To all the people who
didn't throw a temper tantrum at today's news whether here or on Reddit, y'all are cool people.
Carry on.
