"Playing gay" isn't an unfair advantage though, that's the biggest difference. It's an advantage earned by having the mindset of winning above all else.You know what I'm just realizing? As to why there is a lot of hate in competitive smash (for which there are many reasons) is the whole "play gay" thing. I have made a comparison that I think describes it best. Look at the video of m2k playing shiek against some scrub called "you came all this way to get jabbed" and you'll see that playing like that in smash is like a hockey team playing a game with a sumo wrestler for a goalie. Now I realize there are many flaws with this comparison/analogy, like the "there are ways around it" and the "you can still win" bit, but that doesn't take away from the fact that you don't see hockey teams do it, because it's an unspoken rule not to do something that IS within the rules technically (no rule on height/size of players) that gives yourself an unfair advantage.
Thoughts?? I wanna dissect this more with you guys.
What's that supposed to mean? People play incredibly gay in sports all the time. Players are always opting for the easiest avenue that provides the best benefit.Can tell never played sports.

Wasn't there something about someone playing super gay against somebody, but said that if he was hit, touched, or grabbed once he woulda died? Isai vs Someone? Idr, but it always stands out in my mind.
This, completely. I never get angry (at my opponent) if I'm getting camped to all hell and back. I might get angry at myself for not dealing with it, but I get much more frustrated when people just don't even try to win. It's such a cop out too, it's like, if they win they just say they're so good they win without trying, and if they lose, they just say they weren't trying.Someone playing to win against you is probably the highest sign of respect in a competitive community. Considering sandbagging is so looked down upon.
^This. Well said. perhaps then it is not the player that plays their hardest, or the team that hires the fat goalie to increase the chances for winning, that is the problem. maybe it is community reception of techniques to win.I especially admire players that admit when they were trying their hardest.

I really wanted to play silent swag last weekend while I was there. I want to play everyone I can that I've never played before. I'll get at that kid next time I guess.
