How do we get the FGC to respect Melee? There is never going to be a Melee 2, so it's going to stick around for a long time. Probably even longer than SFV. So we're going to be neighbors with FGC for a looong time. It'd be nice if they just respected us a bit more.

People shit on video games they don't play, especially when it comes to competitive. It's as simple as that, and will never change. Just enjoy your own community for what it is and don't be an asshole to people who don't show interest in your game.

This.

It would also help if Meleefags stopped sperging.

>Smash
>Being considered FGC by anyone except smash players

xDDD

>smash player wants respect from the FGC
literally just shower

Try inviting the FGC to Smash events.

who cares what the FGC thinks desu

not like we're getting kicked out of EVO any time soon, melee brings in the money

You get Nintendo to make an official Project M or create a new fast paced Smash Bros that Meleefags will enjoy

So basically, FGC will never respect Melee. Smash community doesn't even need the FGC's approval anyway. It's been doing incredibly well as its own thing

No one cares what FGCucks think.

We WILL show up by the hundreds/thousands.

We WILL get viewership that rivals Street Fighter's.

We WILL have the most storied rivalries and hypest sets.

We WILL use whatever tables and flood space we damn well please to satisfy demand.

FGCucks WILL learn to deal with it.

they'll never accept it because they just can't bring themselves to admit that a "party game" from 2001 is more competitive and fun to play than any fighting game released since.

Can you make someone who loves cars respect the people who are going to buy them because it will be self driving? No, because essentially it's about driving them.

Same case here.

>seeking the approval of the fgc
>as if it's necessary in any capacity to enjoy melee as a competitive game

You need to stop caring about what they think, the fgc is just that, a community, not the arbiter of competitive gaming

>melee
Game died 10 years ago, it's been the same half dozen people circlejerking the corpse ever since
You can't keep a game alive with a meta that supports only 1 character

>wanting to be part of the fgc

WE DESERVE IT

Who cares about "respect"? Melee's competitive scene survived its own creator trying to snuff it out, so for better or for worse, it's not going anywhere.

So what do you guys think of the Summit 3 invitations:

>Mango
>Armada
>Hbox
>M2K
>Leffen
>Plup
>SFAT
>Westballz
>Axe
>Shroomed

Are these the right guys for the job?

>How do we get the FGC to respect Melee

You can start by not acting like a bunch of apes.

By making the Melee community tolerable

>literally paying for a spot in the community

...

Why would we ever care what the fgc thinks?

The only thing we gotta share is evo

Another user said it best. Just stop stinking up venues.

1. shower
2. don't be so autistic and interact with other players outside smash
deodorant
4.play a real fighting game

>Game died 10 years ago

Seems pretty big for a """dead""" game
