Well yea, in Melee it took skill to play defensive, but as seen in brawl, the defensive strategies are easier than the offensive ones -> inbalanced distribution.Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to win. It's not the most "noble" way to win a match but who cares if you win. I mean really. I myself detest spammers (Wario main), but I don't think it's a nooby way to play at all. If anything, it's more strategic. It takes a lot of skills to not get hit.
Oh, of course, there's a difference between a competitive player spamming strategically than a Wolf noob lasering over and over then F-smash.
What if the full extent of the character is to use the campyness of that character?i agree. spamming is for players who cant use a character to its full extent, they cant get to grips with an entire moveset or be creative so they just use one move over and over.
This is how I see it as well. I main Pikachu and I sometimes use 3-4 thundershocks to try and put some space between me and my opponent. I have played WAY TOO MANY people that wait for you on one side of the stage and when you approach, they will do a f/d-smash and roll all the way to the other side where they repeat the SAME thing over and over again. It gets REALLY annoying after awhile and makes it feel like you are playing a little kid.IMO, it depends WHAT your spamming.
If you spam things like TL/Link's Up-B, Pikachu's Thunder, Or other moves with a surroundous hitbox hoping to be invincable throughout the whole match, Thats a n00b thing.
Yet if you spam something like Fox/Falco/wolf Lazers, Pits Arrows, Pikachu's T-Shock, Fireballs, or other fast projectiles, It is just a strategic part of a match for quick and easy damage.
But if you mean "Lazer lazer lazer, run to other side of FD, lazer lazer lazer" The whole match..... Thats n00b all over it.
It really depends. Spamming can be good or bad for your Smash Reputation

That is all. If spamming a move allows you to win, do it. However, a person coming to a situation of a spammer should figure out the pattern or weak spot, roll, spot dodge, and aerial dodge over to the spammer, and punish them.
The spammer is a noob if you can counter it, but if you can't counter it, then the tables are turned.
