Yeah. I've considered getting a fight stick, but I'm fairly comfortable with 360 controller at this point. | ||

That's not to say the game isn't quality because I don't like it, but let's be real here, unless you followed it with purpose it wasn't even on the radar until 2013 with Evo and the Smash doc. Jump to today and it blows up twitter on any random weekend tournament as long as there's like a single god and some other top players present. If SSBM is indicative of anything it's not so much that accidental eSports happen, it's the opposite. There was a super niche competitive playerbase for the game for years and years and years(like BW), but it took outside forces with purpose to push it beyond that. While I acknowledge that Smash's popularity exploded after the doc, the core community in it is so strong because it survived for a decade+ despite Nintendo trying to squelch the competitive scene. As someone who has been off-and-on involved with the competitive side of the game since the early years, I don't think I would agree that it's a manufactured hype - there are a lot of things to love about Smash, and the community is a big piece of that. | ||

SSBM blew up because 2013 was the "last chance to see SSBM at EVO" and the community did a huge push and got a lot of publicity, and it brought a lot of new fans to the game. Sponsors took note and a lot of viewers stuck around, feeding back in a virtuous cycle that led to what we have today. It's pretty much the opposite of manufactured hype since it was completely community-sourced. | ||

I'm still just amazed that an esport managed to survive without online play | ||
