the scrub factor...

You weren't browsing soulcalibur.com back during SC2? Every 2 weeks with the "SC should have fatalities" and "SC should have blood" and "Cloud should be in SC3" topics or "NM's 66B = broke." The game was more popular then, and there were more good players, but there was still at least a gaggle of scrubs. That's right, a gaggle.

Also, attacking from disadvantage isn't special. Frame traps and tech traps > mashers.
 
You can learn something from mashers. Your tricksy mixup got beaten by AA? Yeah, that will happen. Usually a game will have a good scrub killer move, just abuse it and move on. Jin Kazama's old u/f+4444 comes to mind. Or any sweep-elbow move.
 
I guess I really am a scrub. But that's because I don't devote hours upon hours in training mode. I found something better, called life.

And you may say button mashers are ineffective, but I've been known to interrupt many combos before getting squashed flat. What irritates me are the long string of spammable combos people use to not let the opposition get any attacks in. Now you may say "well duh! We want to win!" But it's actually just as annoying as my button mashing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a game to stink up.

Common misconception, you don't need to spend hours and hours in training mode. Granted it's good for studying a character you are having some trouble against... but that is mostly it. This site has all sorts of resources for moves and strats for a certain character, and what works. So you spend a half hour reading stuff here, jot down the moves that are safest, and know what move is going to hit where when you execute. (low, mid, or high) Just taking 1 hour to do this will greatly improve your game with a certain character. Probably less time than you spend just mashing senselessly and learning nothing.
