Would you say most people follow the smash gods that play their characters or all of them?

I like watching zero's videos cause hes a cool guy who mastered the scene. I only recently picked up diddy.
Usually when Im on youtube I look up esam or hyuga or nairo's bowser. I do watch other matchups occassionally but i mainly stick to the ones i main. and i watch hungry box.
Would oyu say most people in the scene follow their character's smash god or just all the players and smash gods in general.

Personally I do not believe someone needs to play your character for you to enjoy them as a player. I play DDD, and Falcon and my favorite players are ESAM, and Mew2King.

I don't like the word "god" when it comes to the Super Smash Bros. community. It's a meaningless word. You have people who are professional players and you have those who aren't. I'll watch videos on the VGBootCamp channel on YouTube. If it's ZeRo, ESAM, M2K, Nairo, Fatality, MkLeo, &c., I'll watch. Personally, I like Nairo. I'll watch his videos to see ZSS in action. I'll even watch Marss. I'm only doing this because I want to improve with ZSS. Recently, ESAM showed off his Samus and I was impressed.

There are definitely people who watch those who use certain characters to get an idea on how the meta-game works. I do it, but I don't consider anyone a "god".

Lol I like the word. People use it for music and celebrities, and i'm an artist myself so i aspire.

Well, this is a good question. Since I, a 56-year-old Christian lady, have no reason to partake in competitive play I really do not follow any pro-Smashers that play my favorite characters. Still, it doesn't hurt to see how my girls are to be played on higher levels. So, I'll occasionally watch videos and read guides of my ladies of faith and deviate from there. I just aim to separate myself from the casual community.
