If you think that using the same combo over and over is a sign from disrespect in the fighting game community you should probably watch a Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tournament or two. Perfect example of why it's unnecessary to change something that works.
I've seen plenty of MvC tournaments, but what i'm implying is that some people have no prior strategies, they want to button-mash their way to victory.
If all the greats (Daigo, Justin Wong, And PR Balrog etc..) started using the same combo OVER AND OVER, they would no doubt lose respect in the fighter community. Regardless if they won.
It's more complicated than simply winning...
Button mashing is far different from making the same combo over and over agan though. When you button mash you rarely get any combos at all (depending on the game).
But the famous ones DO use the same combos over and over again. Especially in MvC3. You make it sound like fighting game players have some weird anime samurai honor that forces them to stop doing what makes them win.
A good example is a tournament from earlier this year when a japanese guy came to play a MvC3 tournament. He played Rocket Racoon, Viewtiful Joe and Frank West. What he did with this team was pretty much spamming Rocket Racoons log assist to hit the opponent, and then do his BnB combo. Over and over again. People loved him anyway. Sure, someone said he "disrespected" but they were joking around. They say "disrespect" about anyone all the time.
KUSORUUUUU
Man that team was dirty. No one knew their way around that tech so everyone kept getting hit. It was good to see Combofiend start to adapt to the tech but he lost in the semis anyway (I think it was semis).
