The FGC as a whole could learn a lot from the Smash community.
Every local event I go to - Smash players showing up with anywhere from 25-50 heads.
Granted, their game isn't online. So they HAVE to show up, and that's their greatest strength.
They have to meet up to play, and that's why their game is still relevant nearly 10 years later.
What the fuck is the point of playing online if you're never going to compete offline?
