So since I play at ssbm tournaments I feel this is important to tell some of you comrades. For anyone unaware Nintendo has canceled the Smash World Tour, which encompasses multiple smash bros tournaments, some huge, some smaller. This is in cooperation with Panda, the two are being assclowns basically. What this means is that most of the Majors and Supermajors (large tournaments) coming up will most likely be canceled. Nintendo has even threatened to arrest people because we have no “license.” Nintendo hates melee and right now were in danger. Never thought i’d be harassed by police at smash events not just protests. Anywho…
Well, the whole thing is because they do not want a competitive scene if I remember correctly, they want it to be a casual game for everyday people, so they purposely want to kill it as a sport.
Boooooo let people enjoy both 😤
Yeah which is incredible, because the two circles do not intersect at all. Kids that play Smash literally do not care that some people play competitive Smash and neither do their parents.
Only problem I can see is with online mode where 12yo get their asses handed to them by a pro player but this is only a problem since the Internet era. Gamecube didn’t exactly have online play and that’s about when they started going after the competitive scene.
