So if you don't like someones joke, they shouldn't make it, makes perfect sense to me.
daisies, you're just getting ridiculously tangented. It has nothing to do with whether I think the joke is good, but that those kinds of jokes are so weak that it's pathetic. They don't have any substance; they're just random guys laughing at random shit. If they laugh at that, might as well tie a stick on their heads with an apple with a face drawn on it, and they'd laugh forever.

This isn't convincing at all.

And why the fuck is barely anybody playing fighting games that aren't Smash? Heck, why Smash? I'd guess it's something that doesn't have to do with competition, but I'll just digress this point.
It has to do with learning curve and skill gap. Smash, being a nintendo game, is easy to learn
Compared to, say, Marvel, Guilty Gear or Virtua Fighter, I'd agree, but there are other fighting games that are easy to learn. Though I would account "Nintendo fanservice" into the equation.
Certainly has nothing to do with "competition" and "being good".

This just isn't true. At least in Melee; Brawl is still too new for me to settle on this, but right now I'm slanting towards "No, that's bullshit".

However, pit up... let's say me, against a veteran street fighter, and I'll not know how to do diddly shit and get my booty handed to me deep fried with a side of ranch.
Who plays against veteran Street Fighter players quickly anyway? Online isn't worth shit (hoping HD Remix will fix that), so you'll mostly be playing with friends. If your friends are good, they'll teach you stuff, if you all suck, you can learn together.
And I would bet that a "veteran Smash player" can beat your booty faster than you can count to 100.
I'd guess the reasons would be "community effort is low nowadays" and "people don't have friends these days", but I already said that I was digressing, maybe I'll digress back in this direction, but I'll stop for now.
