hey when smash ultimate comes out can we please agree to be more assertive as T.O’s and community leaders when it comes to dealing with salt/rage? with ultimate on the horizon many more people will be looking to join the scene and i know firsthand what it’s like joining the scene

To an extent. Salt/rage is part of a competitive environment. And if a “newbie” gets scared away from seeing someone rage once then I don’t think that person is fit for the competitive atmosphere. That being said there’s definitely a limit to where it becomes obnoxious lmao

rage to the point of calling people slurs, throwing controllers, assaulting the venue, causing a scene, is NOT part of the competitive scene & people thinking its a norm is a problem. frustration is one thing, but causing a scene out of salt/rage is 100%going to drive people away

But being visibly salty and even a small outburst to an extend really i have no problem with that. You name me a competitive sport/esport where people who are passionate about what they do never visibly lose control of their emotions.
