I would just like to voice my thoughts on the way this tournament was handled and run. There was no rules in terms of how fair play was conducted and it promoted cheaters to advance, leaving the players that participated legitimately in this tournament to get knocked out and eliminated. Allow me to give my example:
I was in the final 1v1v1 match that was held at Park Royal EB on Saturday April 26th, I was facing against two other players that had arranged a team against me in order to eliminate me first. They went as far to blatantly display this by focusing solely on me, and not attacking one another when I was either: a) recovering onto a ledge or b) coming back into the match after losing a life. In addition, these players would say things like "sorry" to one another if they happened to accidentally kill each other. To make the matters even more obvious, when I lost all my lives, they began to suicide themselves in game to even out their life totals before continuing.
I had expressed my thoughts to the Nintendo representatives there and they had both agreed that I should have been the rightful winner and that there isn't anything that they could have done to fix the situation. They had also told me to voice my concerns to Nintendo as well.
I am wondering if Nintendo does promote unethical and unfair play such as this situation, where there is a lot on the line, in addition to it being a tournament environment. In any other game or sport, if you get caught cheating or playing with some sort of arrangement, you would be disqualified.
Has anyone else had a situation like this happen to them in a tournament before and what was done about it?
