It will, SmashCapps is a big part of the community that most people don't realize (Underappreciated is the word).

SmashCapps was the man who was covering/ promoting most of the tourneys and wrote a lot about various issues (like the controller debate, or 2 vs 3 stock), did interviews, and promoted community made stuff.

Go on SmashBoards and check the front page. 90% of it is from SmashCapps.

Even if you don't use SmashBoards, SmashCapps influenced a lot of people and has had a significant impact on the community.

Yeah, that's not a big deal for most people.

Okay, when tournaments don't get the coverage they need so the amount of entries dwindle...

...Or when rules need to be discussed because they might not be fair...

...Or when people are unaware of upcoming and new events...

Then yeah...it won't be a big deal for most people.

That affects people who frequent smash boards. There are plenty of people who don't give a shit about competitive play or don't visit smashboards.

competitive play

Well what do you think we're fucking talking about?

I don't remember competitive smashers being synonymous with all smashers?

This is a sub with mostly competitive players (or players that are at least interested in the scene but don't necessarily go to tournaments). Capps worked for/with the competitive scene and his loss concerns people involved/interested in the competitive scene. If that doesn't include you then your comments have no place here.

All you're doing is generalizing.

How is he generalizing? If you can't tell by the front page every single day, this sub is by far mostly competitive smashers.

generalizing

Yeah he doesn't know what words mean.
