still don't see why you're rooting for a total douchebag
because he's good and can back his trashtalk up
like you guys can say he's a dbag but he's also one of the best players in the world
like i mean honestly speaking leffen is probably my favorite melee player, he's good and he talks stuff and it's hilarious
most players tend to respect each other just because they play smash
"Here's the thing: I don't, and never will, consider the smash community as my "family". I play the game for my reasons, and someone else plays it for completely different ones, but just because the game happens to be the same does not mean I automatically like you and will let you stay in my house.
That's not to say I hate everyone in the smash community, I've met loads of good friends through the game, but I will stand by my opinion that automatically liking people JUST because they play the same game as you is a toxic attitude, and it frequently enables people to do terrible stuff and get away with it (I speak from experience, hehe).
In the end, I like Melee first and foremost as a great game, not for it's community. I see the other people who play smash more like classmates. Sure, it's very common to have friends who are in the same class as you, but it's also common to have people you don't like in the same class as you, and I'm not going to pretend to like them just because they're in the same "class" as I am. And to be honest, I don't find melee's community to be that amazing of a "class", and I don't feel like I really fit into it all that well.
I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't constantly irritated by how casual the scene is at times, how it treats women/minorities, how it's too afraid to criticize anyone, regardless of how terrible they behave just because they're a new player or a good one (myself included) or how it's perfectly acceptable to not shower once at a 5 day event and so on.
That said, I still hope and try to work on improving the scene, the reason you mostly see me hate on it is because so many seem to think that the community is so great and flawless these days, especially after the documentary/EVO, that I feel like some cold, hard criticism is far more helpful, even if I get a lot of personal hatred for it."
basically
don't care if he's a jerk, very much enjoy watching him
