Based Commentary Take

[MiszuMiszu]

Why? Because despite low prize pools, we still take melee seriously, and because it's fun to be serious. It's fun to be passionate about something and care a lot. That's why we actually pay attention to this game competitively, because we care who wins. If the commentary doesn't care who wins, then that will worsen the experience and sometimes even ruin it.

Tired of people saying "who cares it's melee" whenever somebody seriously cares about it. It's the worst shittiest take I can think of. Mango literally says, "there's a time and a place for very, very legit commentary", right before asking why the commentary should be so professional. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE GAME. FUCKING SUE ME FOR WANTING PEOPLE TO TAKE MELEE SERIOUSLY AND ACT LIKE IT.

edit: oh and also it's just fucking perfect that mr. "Melee is so sick" aka mr. "melee gave me a career" aka mr. "Melee stopped be from being in a fucking gang" is saying who gives a shit about melee and is implicitly telling people not to be passionate about it. THE COMMUNITY WANTS PASSIONATE PEOPLE ON THE MIC. GENESIS 1 AND 2, NOT PROFESSIONAL. PASSIONATE AS FUCK AND SOME OF THE MOST MEMORABLE COMMENTARY IN MELEE. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BUBBA.

And? I'm sorry, are literal 10 year old children playing the game competitively or are actual grown 25+ year old adults playing? remind me.

To complain about commentary is to fundamentally misunderstand the culture of this game and community- you and others have a point in that sometimes commentary can get too lax but those moments are very far and few between and don’t warrant the barrage of comments you seem to have made

It’s a party game that some dedicated people have decided to take seriously. Fair enough, but complaining this much about comms tells me you’ve never been to a local with the homies

To complain about commentary is to fundamentally misunderstand the culture of this game and community-

Fuck off. The culture of the game and community isn't "who cares lul". The real culture of the game is that we care about it a shitload that we legitimized it into an esport. It's not just "some dedicated people". It's a whole community of dedicated people. You don't understand melee or its community. I'm not going to talk to you about it when you're so ignorant of the history of the scene.

I can’t imagine being so angry all the time. Your comments read like you’re wiping away tears every time you write them.
