I'm not insulting him. Scrub is a gaming term, not a derrogatory term. It means a newbie who won't succeed in competitive gaming due to a number of preset mental blocks he has in his gameplay be they ''edgehogging is cheap'' or ''wavedashing is a glitch and therefore it shouldn't be used''
Just calling wavedashing a glitch but not shunning it as the useful technique that it is , is fine. But bakemonkey obviously shuns the wavedash as indicated by his strong opinions against it. And that would make him a scrub, unless of course he has super human smash abilities and can compete in smash without the wavedash like Aniki which I highly doubt.
This is definitely not cooling your heels,
I never said I was going to be less passionate in my arguments. However I promised to tone down the vulgarity, and be willing to help newbies who are not arrogant and are willing to learn ie ''I can't wavedash.. how do you do it? is it a glitch?'' I'd respond to that by explaining how to do it, and explaining to him that it is not a glitch, as the game designeners knew it was in the game. Calling it ''landfall speciall'' as Dizzy informed me, not ''super dash method'' in the debug mode.
So yes, in Bakemonky's case, scrub is just a definition.
Say, what you want, it is a glitch. It causes certain characters to be able to move in situations where they shouldn't have been able to.
Classic scrub post.

Read that article if you want to further understand the meaning of a scrub. It doesn't mean he's necesarilly bad at the game, he might even have potential, I've never seen him play.
But a scrub has mental blocks when he plays, and thus he will be prevented from playing properly, ie : playing to win, if he has opinions like ''wavedashing is a glitch'' or ''thats cheap''
Bakemonky if you just think wavedashing is a glitch as an opinion, but don't shun its use either by you, or other smashers than I appologise for the assumption, but for now I am going to assume you don't wavedash and don't care for those that do, or you would not have refered to it as a ''glitch''
I know what you are saying about not everyone plays this game as competitivly as you or I do. However, when someone who plays smash casually starts to diss the advanced techniques, he crosses the line into our world, where unfortunatly he would be 4 stocked by even the lowest skilled members of the serious competitive 1vs1 community.
In bakemonky's case I have yet to find out whether or not his opinions on wavedashing being a glitch stem out to his gameplay, but given the sense of anger towards wavedashing ie ''I pray every night that wavedashing is taken out of brawl'' I am led to the conclusion that he shuns the technique and those who use it. Which would make him, in every sense of the word, a scrub.
I'm sorry but I have changed my ways in the sense that I will no longer be vulgar, or downright mean, but I believe the post I just made justifies my comments on Bakemonky.
