To be fair you need an high I.Q to play melee competively.
You nintendo cock sucking noob casual can't really understand the complexity of melee.
Sakurai made the game specificly to be an esport but disguised it in a party game for childrens.
You fool only see the tree and not the forrest.

The game is bug ridden,poorly balanced and not casual/newcommer friendly but it's what makes it great.

You can't really understand the beauty of a Mango vs Armada grand final if you don't deeply understand the game and the deep lore of the community. On a meta level Mango represent chaos and Armada order. Every top player got an incredibly deep backstory.

Nintendogs might try to stop the melee community but nothing can stop us even the age of consent we care more about legal stages than legal age.

Grab
-a nodded bugged gamecube controler
-a copy of melee V 1,1 dump the Rom into your pc.
-install an emulator
-install slippy
-wreck some netplay falco
-Fuck nintento

#FreeMelee

The thing that nobody is gonna tell you is that, if these Smash and Splatoon players or whatever wanted to boycott Nintendo, they'd stop fucking playing Smash and Splatoon. They're Nintendo products. Do they just not count to the average user of Twitter dot com because they like them? Half the people doing this have Nintendo related pics on their profile anyway. Probably the most obnoxious person I've seen do this has a fucking Hyrule Warriors banner on their profile.

Just like the last major Smash controversy, nothing will come from this and it will be forgotten in less than six months.

When Nintendo decided to cancel the streaming for the Splatoon tournament (keyword being "streaming", not the tournament) because participants had #FreeMelee whatever that was, top participants decided to drop out as a protest and later...... joining the Squid House (a pun on the Big House tourney) for the Splatoon tournament. The prize pool is much higher (5 digit US dollars afaik?) compared with the official tournament. Granted, Nintendo's prize pool is a joke ($25 in Nintendo Gold lmao) but these participants still wanted to participate in the official tournaments already well aware of the prize pool and dropping out for another tournament only when Nintendo canceled the streaming should already tell you where their priorities lie.

Sick, I'm the guy on the left. No one here was the guy on the right though.
edit: if it was really just me that pushed this thread to have a plagued tag, I almost feel special. But goddamn, you guys are the charmin ultra of threads.

Nintendo fans eat shit and they love it. A new DLC character will come out and they will all forget this incident. Nintedo has been pulling anti consumer practices for decades which always get forgotten when they bang out the next unorginal nostalgia bait game, or in the Switches case wii u port and muso skin, come out for fans to drool over.

 

[There'll be another time]

It is always worth noting that somehow, someway, Nintendo is one of the top ten richest companies (Some sources even say the richest overall?) in Japan. I was genuinely surprised learning this, after all Nintendo just has brands and games, whereas Microsoft or Sony you expect to be big, they're service/appliance empires, while Nintendo is just Nintendo (I'm pretty sure?)

But point being, Nintendo literally does not have to give a shit. Besides their fanbase will buy whatever they shit into their mouth. They've still got the "cutesy kids games company" appearance publically, so really pissing yourself on Twitter means nothing.

Nintendo has no reason to care whatsoever.

To be fair, almost no one bought the Wii U and some were still expressing interest in the games on that system, but didn't want the console itself when they had the switch.

It's worth noting that most of the huge Nintendo brands are extremely marketable in a way most Sony and Microsoft brands can't compare. Take the Pokémon franchise for example, a huge majority of its profit comes from the obscene amount of merchandising it has and not from the games themselves. It wouldn't surprise me if a huge part of Nintendo's profits came from licensed products rather than the actual consoles and games.

And for the most part Nintendo doesn't have to compete in the video game industry the same way Sony and Microsoft have, and the latter two also have to compete with PC gaming. Nintendo carved a niche for itself that is very different from what the other companies do. Add all that to the frankly creepy brand loyalty Nintendo has managed to cultivate with their fanbase and you have a company that can get away with murder while laughing all the way to the bank.

I can't believe all the Smash autists come to this thread to give content for free. We got those people salty about Hero and Steve many pages back now we got a #FreeMelee guy.

I hate what Nintendo is doing but it's funny how these people are surprised at a practice Nintendo has been very infamous for doing for years.

I get the impression that their fanbase in general isn't knowledgeable about Nintendo (or gaming to an extent) especially since their shitty practices have gone back since the NES. Their fanbase is filled with a bunch of cult like autists who will buy their games no matter what and this protest will clear up in a few months anyway.

As for Smash, it's obvious they didn't want a competitive scene over a decade ago or deal with them (but who can blame them considering they have bad hygiene and shitty behavior).

As aforementioned, to be fair, the controversy behind the Smash scene was just the Ultimate players, but even still doesn't change that it's reasonable for Nintendo to stay away from competitive Smash as a whole.

If on the surface journalists make news articles about Smash pedo allegations, people generally don't care the type of game it is, and would rather stay away from the franchise community.

I wasn't just referring to the pedo allegations, just their shitty behavior in general. From shouting hate at players, throwing a dead crab at Hungrybox, literally following certain players around and booing them, flat out getting salty and throwing their controllers, and physically attacking each other. There's a whole history I don't wanna take hours typing in.

You are literally describing what it's like in any competitive fighting game scene, smash being arguably more tame in certain salt and hate ways than other games. And there is really no history of people actually attacking each other, I'm sure it's happened, but it's a popular game, I'm sure people have thrown hands over it at some point.
That crab being thrown at Hbox has been the best thing to ever happen to him. He would've gotten even more sympathy if it actually hit him, but he rode that meme to his benefit greatly.

I've seen more rage and salt revolving around Smash, both with Melee and new releases individually, than with any other game in the FGC combined. It may be a reason related to numbers and popularity, but even doing something as simple as looking up "Smash Salt" brings up dozens of videos almost universally above 10 minutes with about a dozen iterations, whereas doing the same search for "FGC salt" brings up half as many videos all at half a duration compared to the former, most of which are composed of Smash clips anyway. So no, I disagree that Smash is more "tame" compared to other games in the FGC when it appears to be the opposite. I'll grant you it may compare favorably to other genres such as first person shooters or MOBAs when it comes to salt, but Smash still seems to come out on top when it comes to nerd rage.

>Love CNC and other games that get bought out by EA
>EA rapes games into the ground and is a shit company
>stop giving EA money and pirate the games or similar stuff, so that I am not enabling their shittery.
Its amazing how hard it is for nintendrones to understand the above concept.

Stinky fags in this thread can't comprehend it, so their suffering is partially due to their own actions. They are helping stoke the fires to the brimestone of their own hells. It is Biblically poetic in a way.

snipping the simping

There are multiple hour long smashed controller compilations. Even within the community itself this is an acknowledged issue. Take any one game heck even one franchise and find me multiple hour long controller smash compliations. Hard mode would be to only use venue IRL videos as when smash fags tend to chimp out they don't even have the decency to do it in the privacy of their own rooms.

This is the most middle ground I've gotten from this thread and I agree with you. Smashers break their controllers and be autistic tards, and also unrelated, other gamers act on par or far worse.

I'm not sure if anyone heard but there's been some news spreading that Nintendo sent a cease & desist to some guy who was making joycons of Etika (who was famous in the smash community) aka "joycon boyz" and giving the money to charity. I didnt comment on that here because it sure sounded suspicious and unrelated to me but what matters is that Smashers have been using that to fuel their hate for nintendo even further.

So guess what happened? They JUST found the guy was basically a scammer making money out of etika's death.

https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/k9zgho/cptnalex_the_person_behind_the_etika_joycons_is/

He got C&D by nintendo months ago for basically selling trademarked products but waited until now to ride the hate train, while also not contacting etika's family (they're against it) and it was revealed only 30% of money goes to charity IF it covers production cost.

TL;DR: Smashers blindly supported a scammer who was profitting out of Etika's suicide just to spite nintendo. This includes Gamexplain, Hungrybox and moistCr1tikal. Congrats smashers, you did it again.

Those "Ultimate players" were also regulars in tournaments for 4 as well iirc, and keep in mind that the Wii U sold slightly over half the units that the Gamecube did. The focus on Ultimate specifically was more Meleefag propaganda to dissuade Nintendo from supporting Ultimate, which clearly didn't work.
