>>715102025Its simple really
Picture a bundle of options for each Smash game starting with Melee
Naturally some of those available options get in the game and some do not
By the time Brawl comes, some of those options are no longer seen as viable (relevancy, demand, etc) and thus are no longer as favored in comparison to the new options that have sprung up during the time between Melee and Brawl.
Repeat this with 4 and Ultimate and add in new characters to break the supposed boundaries like third parties and patternfaggotry and we get rosterfagging
Multiply this with how getting a spot on the roster guarantees your character to continue to thrive in some sort of relevancy no matter how little they get outside of Smash and thus you get people who want their more obscure choices to demand them even more.
Exponentially increase this by how long the gaps between new installments are and how the "competition" arguing against the favor of your most wanted goes and lowers their odds of getting in due to the limited number of characters who could be added and rosterfagging becomes flat out desperate and spiteful.
Soon enough it becomes your most wanted against everyone elses and the mindset of "If this character didn't get in, mine would have" starts propping up.
Then we increase it with rumor and leak season and people get nervous.
Throw in patternfaggotry, made up rules, no sourced commandments, and rosterfagging flat out goes mad.
Also porn, if your most wanted gets in you no longer have to worry about said character not getting enough porn you want for them.
And that's why Smash discussion is utter cancer.
One more thing
During the rosterfagging season, we have idiots who try to play victim when their most wanteds don't get in.
Of course this leads to them being rightfully shat on by everyone else for their whining but this only propels them to act like even bigger victims.
Add sad/spite art into the mix and rosterfagging devolves even worse.
