what I talked about in the melee part was generally about people praising the game for the exploits and claiming that since those have been patched in brawl and sm4sh that those are worse games.

As for speedruns, I generally dislike them. if I play a game I personally want to get everything out of it. get the 100% if possible. I have used a couple of glitches in the past those being one in a Yugioh ds game and the strength glitch, so I'm maybe a bit hypocritical about them in some way. also, I have never stated that breaking the game takes less skill that not doing so, have I? in fact it can take even more skill. this, however, doesn't change the fact that I can still dislike people exploiting the game to such measures.

I have no place to judge how others play a game. but I am allowed to have and share an opinion on it, be it a positive or negative one. I don't know if what I said falls under elitism as I simply see it as an opinion. nothing more, nothing less. my opinions are about as factual as a Star Wars is historically accurate, if not even less

The word "Cheating" implies that it is easier than normal to execute glitches no? Is that not the point of cheating?

Of course, you're allowed to have an opinion on it. However, it did sound like you're simply devaluing the other side. Words like "If you're gonna speedrun a game, at leastplay the game entirely instead of just breaking the game." gave me the impression that you're more or less the same as the people who believe that other smash games lacking melee's exploits are strictly inferior.

Maybe it's how you phrased it as "criticism" when it really is just "preference?"

perhaps. I've never been great with words, let alone explaining my opinions
