Because there's always somebody that says, "You're not so good" and "You used to be the best, but not anymore". And then he proves them wrong again and again. Ken really does seem a bit immature when you talk to him, but he's taken ALOT of crap from random noobs and from fellow pros. And yet he still comes out on top, time and time again.
As far as pokemon go, it's about what your team counters and luck. The only skills involved are prediction, planning, and team building. Team building is something that can't be changed mid match, or even mid tournament. Planning is really a facet of prediction and team building. And prediction is just crap. The mind games are: is he going to do one thing or another? You pick one and win or lose. And then there's hax (crits, status effects, accuracy, flinches, etc.) which add in a WHOLE lot of luck.
And he really IS a genius, as far as SSBM goes. He created what Marth is today (not that you would understand that) and pretty much knows exactly what you are going to do at any given moment.
