Someone got really good with Joker so now he’s broken apparently.
 
The Smash community as a whole is utterly hilarious. At best, you have "enthusiastic" fans who love sperging over every little detail of each game, and then you have the dedicated cults for particular games (I.E. any Smash game that isn't Smash 3DS or Smash Brawl).

While I can understand why the Melee cult became as big as it did, my mind continues to be boggled at people who have made cults around the N64 game and the WiiU game, which in the case of the latter, is 100% underwhelming compared to Smash Ultimate. At least the N64 game has... "retro appeal". But even then, it only has 12 goddamn characters, and this being the first game, there are less moves to play around with and some of the characters are much more alike than in the later games. Hope you like playing as literally green Mario and Kirby with a Jigglypuff skin.

People do tend to get overly excited about new character inclusions in a Smash game. I can definitely understand the excitement over, say, Banjo-Kazooie to a degree, but excitement over characters like Shulk, Bowser Jr, etc just screams autism to me. The thing is, some people casually look up this stuff online and they may wind up taking what some of these shits are saying seriously. Sad. To add to the hilarity more, when a new character is finally released or whenever the games comes out, people don't talk about specific characters anymore and the excitement tends to wane as the casuals just play whatever, and the autists gravitate towards a select group of characters that they dub as "high-tier". Yes, even from a casual perspective, some characters played like pure dogshit in the older games, but that isn't really the case nowadays, thanks to balance patches.

What really gets under my skin is when any of these cults try to make an argument for why their preferred game is better than Ultimate, a game which was already objectively the most fully fleshed out game in the series and is only getting better with DLC and patches. How can you be this deluded? The majority of people who play Smash play for the characters and the content. They don't care if they can "wavedash" or whatever.

That said, while the 64 and WiiU cults are quite boring, the Melee cult is a type of autism worth observing. Anyone else remember when some tournament or w/e made it a rule that you actually needed to not smell like total shit or you'd be disqualified? People were livid!

My personal favorite excuse was when some of them complained that not everyone can afford deodorant. If you can afford to travel and attend Smash tournaments but can't afford a $5 stick of deodorant, then your priorities are backwards. It doesn't cost much to not smell like shit.
 
I don't care how much you earn, if affording basic hygiene isn't a priority then you should be banned from the public.
"But muhh video game cons, fam! Where else will I go to socialize with others like me?!"

Ah, the eternal struggle.
 
I'm sure everybody already knows, but it's worth bringing up in case somebody in the future is browsing through this thread looking for this precise moment. Etika committed suicide at this point, and it was confirmed today. The reaction to his death is in his own personal thread.

Super Smash Bros is all about fighting and non-stop action but the game's biggest event of the year, CEO 2019, was reportedly plagued with behavior that players nor fans could have expected.

The highly anticipated event was marred by reports of not just a physical altercation between Smash players in a bathroom on-site at the Daytona Beach Ocean Center, Florida, but also allegations of racial slurs being shouted at competitors as well.

Canadian Smash player SuperGirlKels claims that she wanted to leave the competition when day two came around, after a fight broke out between RiotLettuce and Osiris197, with - as she says - "no security" to help quell the situation.

To make matters worse for the pro players competing at CEO 2019, it has also been reported that sections of the audience were hostile towards the competitors right throughout the day - allegedly under the influence of alcohol and cannabis.

"Literally a fight broke out no one did anything. No security," SuperGirlKels tweeted on June 30. "A lot of people in the venue are drunk and high, calling out players causing problems. I want to leave."

The confrontation between RiotLettuce and Osiris197 was a huge talking point for those at the event, with the former releasing their account of the story in a Twitlonger post.

If his account is to be taken as accurate, Osiris - who has now confirmed that he was drunk - decided to knock a jug of water right out of Riot's friend's hands. Once he was made aware of the situation, Riot came to the bathroom to talk about the "unprovoked" actions of the player.

Moments later, after Riot allegedly made a comment about Osiris bullying kids, the latter pushed past Blacktwins to start the altercation. Once things were calmed down by a tournament organizer, it was reported that Osiris came back a second time and spiked Riot's Gamecube controller on the ground.

"Truly a disgrace to the smash community and probably one of the biggest idiots to ever touch the sticks," RiotLettuce said in his Twitlonger post. "Hope he gets banned from everything I don’t even know why he was allowed to come to CEO in the first place. Guy is a lunatic."

Osiris was later involved in another altercation with Smash player Chez, before being escorted out of the building, and has owned up to the actions during his own Twitlonger post. Though, he completely denies accusations of starting altercations with no provocation.

"I own up to my part and wrong-doings in all of this including throwing a punch or getting physical, the controller, the use of slurs, and so on, but really to stop this narrative being established that Riot didn't instigate at all and I just punched him with no provocation, because that is completely untrue."

He later addressed the issue of using racial slurs on Twitter, in a now-deleted tweet.

This wasn't a standalone incident involving racial slurs, either, as confirmed by legendary Street Fighter player Justin Wong, who explained why moving the event to Daytona Beach could well have been a mistake.

Whether or not any of the people involved in reported fights will be banned from attending other events remains to be seen, but clearly everybody involved will be hoping the controversies at CEO 2019 do not resurface in the future.

We have reached out to CEO for further comment on the matters discussed within this article and await official confirmation of events.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the fighting game tournament!

The Smash Bros and fighting game community continue to be autistic as fuck.
How shocking.

So what can be grabbed from this is that a long time smash player has left the community after dating a teenage competitor?
Originally due to posters history of stirring shit and vague accusations the post was regarded as attention whoring.
I believe it was started by a man named Tamim.
I'm pretty shit I making large posts but I do have an archive of this stuff.

This was brought up a couple pages back. Tamim (formerly known as Mistake) was the one who left the community and outed several people. Some of the allegations turned out to be true but not the ones pertaining to Ally and CapZack. I think Zack denied them at the time. The community reaction isn't surprising since neither Tamim and CZ are well liked. Ally has been a long time champion so this could be a big deal.
