it's honestly better being a newbie in 2019 and the midst of 2020. there were definitely still a whole bunch of griefers and trollers, but it was easier for newbies to get around, plus, nostalgia. I remember playing a whole bunch of city roleplays and zombie apocalypse roleplays without there being one troller, and without being kicked. Once. Especially the fun of it. I know I may genuinely sound like a yapper but comparing newbies today and early day newbies is honestly wild. huge difference. I personally think ssb2 was better back then, genuinely controversial opinion depending on the type of player. Everybody was a newbie once.
Why dont we revert and devolve the community back to the state it was in like in 2019? I know its not impossible but it will be hard since one of the best mas in ssb2 (the race map) was erased silently and great features was removed, but we can still fix this if the man, the myth, the legend comes back after not posting for 11 months...
