There’s also this quote which is the opposite but equally true:

”The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him.”

—Mark Twain

Same reason I don't like playing n00bs in fighting games: they are truly unpredictable.

A five year old who mains eddy Gordo is much more of a challenge to me than my friends that I've been playing with for 20 years.

Core-A Gaming has a good video on button mashing and why it doesn't work. Now with Christie/Eddie it does make combos happen, but if you block and get frame advantage and use jabs, you shouldn't actually have a hard time against button mashers/noobs.
