Casual scene? Doesn't that not make sense? Well I suppose even casual players talk to each other, duh, so I guess it does. But still it has to do with percents. There are a hell of a lot more casual players than pros and I'd say the scrub/elitist percent would be about equal.
There technically is no casual scene, as casuals tend to only play with a small circle of friends, as opposed to traveling cross country to play against other people. The amount of people I have played is a staggering amount in comparison to a casual. Furthermore, I'm sure I have dumped more time into the game then the casual that occasionally busts it out for some quick fun.
These are just assumptions based off my prior existence as a casual player.
Furthermore, there are way more ****** casual noobs then arrogant competitive. I know this because the perception of arrogance between the two maps are vastly different, so what you perceive as arrogant I do not.
For example, MOST seasoned competitive player will wreck any casual. It has been historically proven over and over again. We aren't just saying it because we believe it; it is based off of past experiences. It has been historically PROVEN.
Ay. At least your enemies are stupid and obviously wrong. WE have to deal with the elitists who are obviously better players than us, have higher post counts than us and act like they are the authority on the game and we are playing wrong. The grass is always greener.
Yeah, I can see how it would be hard arguing with someone who knows what they are talking about. All of that pesky knowledge and personal experience gets in the way of your hypotheticals and assumptions based off of nothing.
There is no wrong way to play the game. Point me to a post where a competitive said you were playing it wrong, and I'll point you to 3000 noobs crying about glitches and no items. The fact of the matter is is that you casuals can make suggestions about competitive gameplay, but they are not the authority on it. This is due to a lack of experience.
It would be insane for me to tell Lebron James how to shoot a basketball or the best way to drive the hole, why do casuals come here and post things, and then get offended when we tell them it is a bad idea?
Furthermore, a small amount of lurking (i.e. reading the forums and gaining some KNOWLEDGE and INSIGHT BEFORE posting) ultimately would solve the problem of casuals making inane comments, getting flamed, and then bawwing about it.
Assuming you are talking about tournaments, you are making an unfair connection. What are elitists going to do, break into my house? If there were casual tournies I bet you a large sum of money that an elitist would come and complain about items and stage hazards.
We would complain about it, but you see, we have a good basis for the complaint (random spawning exploding ****). We would complain about it, but we would GET OVER IT. We wouldn't hold a vendetta against ALL CASUALS because one time I went to some local tournament with items and CRAZY INSANE KOOKY STAGES. I would hold a grudge against them if they were spiteful pricks, which is based off of LOGIC. I'd hate the people for being dickwads, not for being casuals.
tl;dr
Most competitive players are better and do know more about Smash than casuals (at least in the past) due to access to knowledge (SWF), and personal experience (attending tournaments). Someone competitive calling you a noob or openly mocking your suckitude is just a ********.
Hate the person for the ****ing ******* they are, not because of which camp they fall into. Categorizing people is alright as long as you do not set that persons mentality in stone until they have spoken or proven that they are, in fact, a complete douche.
It's like racism except with video games. T_T
