The autists are winning, yet even if he does make it, they're just going to find something else to bitch about.

Honestly who the fuck cares about Waluigi. He's the least interesting character in the entire Mario franchise and that says a lot considering how little Nintendo cares about giving Mario characters personalities.

Which is why they gave him an uncut dick instead.
This, and the hip thrust from Strikers are the only memetic reasons autists want him in, I'm sure.

Let's not forget how Waluigi was created for the sole purpose of giving Wario a doubles partner for Tennis.
Anyone that does this #justiceforwaluigi crap is a lolcow.

Also doesn't help when you have a bunch of fucking jackals instigating with their "aww sheeit nigga yeh yeh" making the situation much more worse than it really is for these unfuckables who at that moment of getting bodied would pull a Sandy Hook on the crowd if they had the ability of loading and operating a gun.

For me, bar none the most off-putting part of Melee crowd are the 5 gods and some of the other well known players. All of them have egos so large that they can form their own solar system of planet-sized egos. They apparently don't want Nintendo to continue making the series that made them famous either, because they shit on every new release in the series and always declare it as "not competitively viable," which is fucking laughable when you consider the completely broken game they've played for nearly 20 year that has become completely stale. With Brawl, I could maybe see some truth to that argument, but not for Smash4, where they really did gear the game towards a more competitive environment with re balancing characters, simpler stages that you could play in a FD style mode, and online game modes that more or less had tournament rules and settings. The reason I think these top players never embrace and try to learn these new games is because being a competitive FG player is not a lucrative career. If these new games become more popular, than there's a chance that interest in Melee could die and they would no longer have tournaments for it. No Melee means no more easy money for these guys and they'd either have to learn the newest Smash Bros. game and actually place high in tournaments to make money, or they'd have to get actual jobs.
I personally can't picture Mango or Mew2King flipping burgers at Burger King or working retail at a Macy's somewhere. I say I can't picture it because they probably think that putting in a honest day's work at a shitty job is somehow beneath them.

According to this website, Mang0 has earned about 160,000 dollars from his entire career as a top Melee player. I'm going to be very, very generous and say that he's only been earning money since 2008 in this example and compare him to a person working a minimum wage job for a decade. By these calculations alone, a person working minimum wage would make about $150,000 dollars for is most likely unskilled labor (running a cashier, flipping burgers, washing dishes, and so on). But unlike playing a competitive video game for an income, a person working minimum wage has a steady income which doesn't fluctuate on their ability to perform compared to their peers. So you're correct, competitive gaming is absolutely not a lucrative career choice. You can see this in the lifestyle of most players, however, who live in cheap little apartments or with their parents.
This makes the indignation of Melee players all the more confusing. Mang0 has made Melee literally his life, tatooing his primary characters onto his body and outright insulting Sakurai, the creator of the Smash Brothers series, at the promotional event for Smash Ultimate. And that's just Mang0, I guarantee you that there are even more annoying, self-absorbed, obsessive Melee players out there.

What achievement? That he can only consistently win with a rigged controller, 80% of the characters removed, 95% of the stages, an entire mechanic removed, and in a party game that autists tried to turn into an SNK game in their heads?So he wants Nintendo to stop making new entries in the franchise, because he believes people would stop caring about his achievements in an obsolete and overrated party game.
His "achievement" is actually more laughable that Phil "Pigroach" Burnell, who at least won an actual tourney (EVOEast 2006, I'm not counting his 4th place win like a year later).

Part of the thing with Smash is you don't just get the normal autists who are there for smash. You also get the Pokemon autists, the sonic autists, the general nintendo autists, etc. The fact that its a cross over with so many thing only just increases the chances that it will cross over with something else that has a known sperg fanbase as well.

There's also the added amount of pathetic where the TourneyTards seriously turn a party game for children into their own personal Street Fighter Super Turbo, which I hypothesize is due to it being the only game with fighting they're good at. That probably also spikes the autism amounts to critical levels.

Yea, I forgot to add that sarcastic remark, but I agree with that statement. However, given the sperg-magnet smash is, plenty of people would easily believe tourneyfags are celebrities with established careers in playing twenty-year old party games.

Not quite as idiotic as the highlights of the Melee community, but something "cute."
Etika, who's known for hamming up reaction videos for Smash, got the attention of Howard Stern of all people.
Etika took it relatively well, though, and made a reaction video laughing at Howard Stern's reaction video to Etika's reaction video to Smash Ultimate's announcement.
Something less cute, though, I was talking about Mang0 earlier in the thread being a generally unlikeable Melee-obsessed dullard. But somebody showed me that apparently he's such a generally unlikeable Melee-obsessed dullard that his stupidity has its own section on SmashWiki.
This next bit was posted in an earlier post in this thread, but it's worth exploring some more. Hungrybox is another top player for Melee who doesn't have a tendency to act as dumb as Mang0 does. This is Hungrybox ripping apart Mang0 for generally being immature during a tourney and making the community as a whole look bad, on top of some personal things like Mang0 apparently insulting Hungrybox's mother and Hungrybox himself when he was housing Mang0 for a while:
And Mang0's tactful response which got a whopping 1,100 downvotes:
Anyway, to cap this off, here's Mang0 proudly proclaiming that he yelled at Zero, one of the top players for Smash 4, about daring to suggest that Melee isn't the greatest game in the world:
In all honesty, Mang0 is just a massive walking trainwreck that perfectly exemplifies everything wrong with the Smash Brothers community, Melee especially.

Gotta love it, a "why is this a thing? no seriously the fuck is this shit" nigger chimps out on camera for 12 year olds and Google whore money and gets ragged on by a guy who made his bones for near 40 years then makes a video chimping out about him chimping out and being ragged on only in America. Can we get an inception icon going here for this?

Speaking of them taking a game and absolutely breaking it in order to make it competitively viable, I was reading the Reddit thread I posted above and found this comment from Mang0:
This in regards to Hungrybox.
So he dislikes another player who also plays in the incredibly specific way you mentioned...because he plays it in a slightly different incredibly specific way that he doesn't like. The irony is almost palpable.

Evo should include melee again with the stipulation that all matches are to be played on a random stage with default item settings and normal controllers, just like it’s played at the invitational. The salt would be apocalyptic and glorious.

To play autist's advocate here, Melee players don't ban any of the characters. It's just that the game never had a balance patch in its 17 year life, so you rarely see any character outside the top 8. That's probably why the die-hard Melee purists don't want to change to a new game; a Melee player only really needs to learn the matchups against 8 other characters tops.
Hence even if the new Smash game was just a more balanced Melee with 60-something characters, the Melee autists still wouldn't switch to it; they'd not only have to adapt to their main's balance changes or main a new character, but they'd also have to learn how to fight against 65+ different characters.
Mang0 is probably the biggest lolcow in the pro Melee scene, or at least the most infamous. He exemplifies everything I just said, having made Melee his life and being an embarassing bad sport as mentioned earlier in the thread. At least Hungrybox has a job outside of Melee, and Mew2king has had success in the newer Smash games in addition to Melee.
Even among other competitive games, Smash is seen as a poor man's sport. Winnings are limited due to the niche competitive community and lack of outside funding; Nintendo didn't start sponsoring any Smash tourneys until a couple years ago. Not to mention that in Melee, the few top players earn the lion's share of prize money.

I read about this the other day. Apparently the parameters within the game files were already set for Bayonetta (allegedly) before the ballot for voting which character should be added as DLC was even announced.
However, the guy who discovered this failed to justify how he could conclude that they planned to add Bayonetta before the ballot ever finished. All he said was that the "parameters were set" but failed to counter the argument that they just added the slot in preparation for a new character rather than having it specifically prepared for Bayonetta.
People are throwing a hissy fit over nothing.
