And by the same token, people don’t have to put up with taunting they see as disrespectful just because you like doing it to people that don’t know you. All I’m saying is that if you want more matches, either you bend or suffer for it. Unless you have online or offline friends to play with, you...

Taunting is seen as disrespectful and arrogant when done in the manner you do it. Watch tournament footage and you’ll see that when taunting happens, it’s usually perceived that way as well in the competitive scene. You can’t expect someone that doesn’t know you to get that you mean no offense...

Nintendo doesn’t “need” to support it. Yeah, they should for business reasons, but they don’t owe comp players a paycheck and those players shouldn’t be so arrogant that they see themselves as God’s gift to Nintendo, as some like Hbox have done in the past.

Most people view taunting as a sign of disrespect when it’s done after a KO, so it’s not surprising that people kick you for it. If you VC with a room, they can know your intentions better, but most have a negative view of taunters they don’t know. Either change this behavior or make your own...

It’s not difficult to find 1v1 BAs with skilled opponents. Plus, you can rematch them usually as much as you (or they) want instead of the usual pump-and-dump culture of QP. This, of course, doesn't mean that you don’t run into salt mines every once in a while. I ran into a Luigi main last night...

Nintendo being more involved to the point of rivaling Capcom could also be a bad thing. They may demand certain rulesets that the community doesn’t want and they most certainly will prevent Melee, Project M, etc., from being played by refusing to support events that do not comply.

I see some are coming to the light and playing BA instead of Quickplay. Even when you get into a laggy match or a weird match, you can D/C or SD with no penalty other than a little wasted time.

Instead of doing that, you could just go into a BA or make one.

I don’t see much of a difference in effort between: A. grabbing your headset, plugging it in/turning it on, then creating a party and B. pulling out your phone, turning on the Switch app, and starting a chat for your BA It would be nice for it to be system-level, but the effort is not really...

Arenas, by default, make Ultimate better than 4. The issues with arenas you listed are more unlikely to happen than they are likely to happen. Plus, just make your own room if it’s really that much of a problem for you. Also, there are discords you can join to get matches going almost any time...

I. How did you get into Super Smash Bros ? I got into Smash Bros back when the 64 game released and I tried it at a friend’s house. It was my dream to play as Link in a fighting game, so I was sold. I’ve been playing ever since, but only started taking it more seriously in the last 5 years. II...

In QP, I tend to keep it moving unless I feel like the player I matched with had a bad bit of luck and isn’t a bad sport. In BA, I will play as long as the other player wants to play, but will only drop out if it’s obvious I’m playing against a memester or someone looking to fluff their ego.

This. Smash 4 was a dumb grabfest and no one should want that to return. @J.I.L If you are having trouble with punishing OoS, here are a few things to work on: -practice parrying. It will give you the window to punish with most moves if you can execute it reliably. -jumping OoS. Next to...

I’m not sure how it works, but when I started off back on the release date, I was not far off from Elite to start with on all characters. I wonder if your single player accomplishments influence your initial placement (I had done many Classic mode runs and completed WoL by the time I did QP).

I, in general, like facing most of the cast. The only characters I can think of that I usually don’t really enjoy no matter who I’m fighting are :ultpalutena::ultvillagerf::ultisabelle::ultrob::ultrobin:. Palutena’s too good at juggling and her back air makes it hard to get in close without her...
