shadykid Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Melee is more popular among competitive players, is the gist. If Brawl had seen anywhere near as much support, for all we know it might've had a shot at being included. "Competitiveness" with regard to video games is really just "how appealing it is to keep playing the actual game, years after its release." It's not a dirty word, or something that takes away from the game, it's "how high will the game let me soar, if I dare." speaking of that, the Brawl community itself decided to help Melee get in, which is why it only had $170 donated so yeah, even competitive Brawl players think Melee is the better competitive game All of them, is won by Chris Geezus did you know Chris G actually started in smash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) doubleposting to bump this because this is important http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/jul/10/evo-staff-we-didnt-do-anything-alter-smash-stream-situation-had-be-bad-pr-changed-nintendos-minds/ key part: "As the event was nearing, he [Mr. Wizard] received an email from Nintendo's legal department, letting him know that they not only wanted to shut down the stream — but the Smash tournament as well." knew it was the legal team being retarded, and that's somehow even worse than the original Edited July 11, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nintendo's legal team isn't very... smart. Like what's the problem with playing Smash Bros.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The game is fucking, what, nearly 12 years old, now? They should be chuffed that people are still loving their shit so much that they still want it to be played competitively after so long.

BrightBow Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) *sigh* Companies always seem to have a few guys around, who feel the need to shut down anything they can, as long as they don't directly benefit from it. Oh well, as long as a public backslash causes them to activate a few brain cells, I guess it's not that bad.

NinjaMonkey Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Do they even realize this is a FREE ADVERTISEMENT opportunity for Smash? Yeah, an advertisement for a game that came out 12 years ago... Edited July 11, 2013 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 A game that came out 12 years ago of the same franchise that is about to receive a new game. It can serve as a reminder/hype builder for the new smash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
