Just read an article that Melee reached the highest watched fighting game ever (pre SSF4 and UMVC3). Is it possible that Nintendo created such a stink that helped spread the word about the tournament?
I'm sure we'll never know, but Nintendo does a lot of strange and secretive things. A couple great examples are not shutting down PM, Smash Crusade, the Mother 3 translation, AM2R, and a ton of other project people are working on. I know that they get free marketing and whatever, but still.
Think about it...a relatively small community, with a lot of received hate and no support. Seems like a prime target for something that needs more acceptance and growth to me.
