Hi! I'm conducting a survey on pre-nerf Diddy and Shiek. I would like to test a hypothesis of mine and I would appreciate it if you would reply to these two questions with either a yes or a no.

#1: Did you enjoy watching/playing matches consisting of either of these two characters playing eachother (and ONLY eachother)? For example Diddy vs. Diddy or Diddy vs. Shiek.

#2: Do you have any history in Melee, or watch any competitive Melee either on stream or in tournaments?

Thank you for your time! :)

Okay, first of all, I can tell from the start that this survey is biased. People who play Melee by definition prefer a tiny character pool, so nine times out of ten, OF COURSE they're going to say yes to #1 if they've said yes to #2.

And nobody's going to say no to #2 because it being there in the first place strongly implies that only Melee players' answers will be taken seriously. Non-Melee players are being silently pressured to stay quiet or else face ridicule and harassment.

A lot of us prefer Smash 4 largely because of the bigger character variety, especially now that Diddy and Sheik's toxic edges have been dulled. For me personally, that's not the only reason I prefer 4, but it is definitely among them.

By the way... I DID used to follow competitive Melee despite its flaws – mostly in the pre-PM Brawl days when it actually was the better game – but I gladly tossed it aside as better alternatives became available.

So:
1: No.
2: Yes, so I am, in fact, qualified to answer.
