Not familiar with competitive Smash, but this is a problem with online play that involves ranking systems in general. People want to cling so badly to their ranks, so anything outside of the established build or playstyle is rare, to the point you have the rug pulled from right under you when you see someone doing otherwise. In Pokemon, I got so used to seeing completely standard builds and movesets that I would get blown away at times when someone brought something common with a different moveset (and knew what they were doing).
