A lot of people within the smash community hold those ideas too, and I don't just mean the online community of smash dedicated sites. Some people don't believe smash should be competitive, both people who play it as one of their regulars and those who don't play it except rarely.As far as sites or forums dedicated to Smash, the reaction has been mostly positive. Doubts are sometimes lingering but not dismissive of the potential, or the ability or knowledge of those involved.
Elsewhere, mostly negative. Not because they don't believe the PM team can't do it, but because trolls interject with a 'by tourney***s, for tourney***s' mentality. Many of them who prefer Brawl to Melee think Project M is stubborn because it doesn't conform to their preferences. The problem occurs mostly when a hivemind mentality takes over or some idiot tries to bring it about.
It's not really the idea that modders can't do as good of a job. It's more that Project M is a ******** idea to the most vocal minority of them, for what it hopes to do.
That or maybe I just happen to have met a lot of these people? I mean, that's possible too that I've met a bunch of people from a fringe group.
And the argument that modders can't do as good a job is one I see parroted a LOT on these other sites outside the smash community.
I think we can definitely convince these people, but I am warning that it is difficult.
