The secret society of Super Smash Bros. pacifists

There are people in Super Smash Bros. who choose not to fight. It’s ironic, to be sure. After all, this is a brawler. The whole point of a game is to determine which player is the best by seeing who can beat each other up the most and/or fastest. When my friend told me he regularly goes online in the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. to not fight, I was a bit flummoxed.
