Hello all,

This is my first post on Smashboards but I have clocked in thousands of hours into the SSB series (the majority to Melee) and I have always respected the community. I'm not a great player by any means and I get bodied in locals but some of my fondest video game memories stem from this series and I would love to contribute to the current EVO drive.

I will be busy when you guys drop the Spirit Bomb tonight so I would like to make my contribution before that happens. However, as a way to get some donations steadily streaming in right now, I am encouraging you guys to donate now and I will match your donations 1:1 (up to an undisclosed but certainly reasonable amount). Keep the donations coming and in 75 minutes (4:00pm PST) I will donate my match.

Get hype! Thanks Smashers!

EDIT: The number on the donation link shows $38,606.21 at the start time of this 75 minute period.

EDIT 2: I've decided to make it easier for everyone. No need to PM me anything, I'll just look at the donation link at 4:00pm PST and see how much the number has climbed, and I'll match it up to my cap then. Thanks everyone! One hour left as of this edit.

FINAL EDIT:

Time's up! The results: $40,010.79 - $38,606.21 = $1,404.58, and in the span of 75 minutes! Amazing!

Unfortunately this is WAY higher than the cap I had set ($500) but I will bump up my contribution since you guys are so awesome. Confirmation of donation coming up shortly.

Question: Are you going to donate to the link on the Spirit Bomb stream, or directly to WePay?

I'd totally jump on this if I wasn't going to be around for the spirit bomb but I'm keeping whatever I'm donating for that tonight. But good luck with this, I hope some people participate!

Spirit Bomb would be more helpful.

Actually I don't think the Spirit Bomb starts until MIOM ep 6 starts, so WePay.

I'm going to put up a little for this.

Also you missed someone who donated $200 by like a minute.
(I think you should include that IMO) :)

EDIT: Donated $20
Also wow its already gone up like $500.
I hope your cap is high and that we hit it.

Look at his edit, he's gonna match whatever was donated since he made the thread just with the numbers, no need to PM or post screenshots, your donation is getting matched anyway. :)

Spirit Bomb still has so much potential that it can't be measured.

Personally I'm not too worried about "trolling" in a manner like that. Probably just a separate kind of troll trying to cause uncertainty.
Edit: By that I meant the person who brought that up on the FB page. Or they might have just been mis-informed.

Yes, but it is as-of-yet undisclosed.

Someone just brought up on the Facebook page that this might just be a ST/SG person trying to get us to blow our load early (join date; post count). Not to be overly paranoid, but if this somehow turns out to be a fraud, could we get the donations in this thread to count towards the Spirit Bomb? I donated here because I knew I wouldn't be able to make it to the podcast, and figured I'd try and get the most mileage out of my donation as possible, but it'd be a shame to not get these donations matched when there are so many willing matchers out there.

I understand your concern, but I assure you this is legit. I know I can't convince you right now, but when I make my donation at 4:00pm it should "clear my name" so to speak.

Roughly 15 minutes left! Seeing the number go up by so much in the span of an hour is awesome.

If they did, then its not going to help them. Personally, I just considered this a little extra, not my Spirit Bomb donation. We are going to blow the Spirit Bomb matching out of the water anyway. If this gets matched, it could be an extra 1k. If it doesn't, it hardly cut into the Spirit Bomb, and only leaves SG more in the dust.

If this is a trick, its a dumb one.

Wow, good **** Melee community!

And great job for doing this stirbad! I didn't want to come off as too negative, just wanted to relay a concern some other guy had voiced on FB. Props for going through.
