it just seems to me that a bunch of people, whose first instinct in any kind of confrontation is to start listing the logical fallacies they're aware of, don't seem to have heard of post hoc ergo propter hoc

like everyone's mad about people dropping PM "for that sweet Nintendo cash", but has anyone actually asked anybody if that's what's happening

notable smash personalities who have commented/weighed in on recent pm situation

prog: retweeted gimr's statement, also retweeted some vaguely motivational things
D1: retweeted gimr's statement, retweeted random twitter troll saying they have no empathy for people calling gimr a sellout

I think accusing somebody of something vaguely insulting because they've chosen to do something that may be beneficial for their career and/or personal lives as opposed to doing what you wanted them to do would probably indicate a lack of empathy, yes

If anyone's interested, I have an idea that I posted in general discussion about starting a channel and making it something that all PM players will think of immediately when PM footage comes to mind. I feel like boosting something like that to such a level would assist in bringing PM back into a positive spotlight.

a. this is all based on heresay, see ripple's post earlier, gimr didn't have to do this
b. gimr was freed off of PM, and people subscribed to vgbc because of s@x

also the sheer lack of even an attempt to bind up the community by D1 or prog is p telling

All I think is that we need P:M specific stuff + grassroots. And we're getting the latter atm (Shots Fired, other stuff) and weeklies still exist. If we can't turn into an eSport or whatever, who cares?

All this means is that we're free of the dirt that is associated with eSports. We be pure. It might stop rapid P:M growth compared to Melee but we'll still draw people. I doubt we're in any kind of danger though through official means, the comparison of the Samus charge shot is p. accurate.

I'm not trying to argue about this 'cause I'm really down about VGBC dropping PM so I'm not really in the mood, but I do think that the ****slinging doesn't really help anybody

If, not for profit, a group mods a Nintendo game, how is that unfair?

Nintendo's characters aren't even misrepresented or anything, it is a matter of game modes and physics.

This was a completely valid endeavor for a community to undertake.

I don't think we get C&D'd guys.
If streaming Melee is ok, PM is the same. We just need to nurture PM and work to get it into most of the nationals, on stream.

no matter how you get around it, the situation is a bit rude

either nintendo is a bit rude, or everyone from TOs to streamers are really jumping the gun when nintendo said nothing, and are thus also a bit rude

Being LoL isn't worth it.
Riot games is literally the worst.
MOBA's biggest tournaments are put on by Valve and Riot for their respective games.

What happens when the companies lose interest?

Edit: Alternate interpretation is that Riot/Valve is the NFL to their respective games.

sometimes people like to talk to each other like human beings instead of hiding their social inadequacies behind an endless stream of memes

lol mobas suck if you look at some older posts in this thread Ive been p against nintendo intervention and esports aspiration from the start because it leads to centering the game around the consumers and stream monsters rather than players

also largest fighting game tournament (capcom cup) is obviously sponsored by capcom lol its the same situation

Yes.
Here's why.There.
A C&D would change absolutely nothing, because it can either be ignored or defied outright.
The sooner people get that, the better.
This is fine and all, but if they're going to C&D it, I'd like for them to do it after the PMDT releases their Gold version of the game. They've worked too hard on this **** to not get to finish it.

After that, I'll go on playing all the hell I want.

I don't really feel like anyone will care, but I think the second situation seems most likely. I don't think there's actually any evidence Nintendo has spoken against Project M. I'd like to see if I'm wrong however.

WWE is dumb yo.
When was the last time santino marella made an appearance.
I agree. WWE is dumb. Second time they have someone other Bryan win the Rumble and they're surprised by the boos? Vince and creative are dumb.

Last year. He's also made an appearance in Jingle All The Way 2.

My problem with Esports is exactly "The International" or "Capcom Cup". It is self promotion for that one company.

MLG and EVO are still profit driven, but at least it is promoting Esports as a whole and not one specific company. When we let the companies control anything other than game creation, it instantly stops helping anyone but the publisher.

Don't sell out to game publishers guys, they just want their game to be the premier game, and sell you DLC and sequels.
