Reggie wants to know which game(s) we'd like to see at a Nintendo World Championships revival.

Shall we pimp Melee again like we did at EVO? It could get even more exposure for this community and potentially have some kind of positive impact on future Smash games, as Nintendo might be interested to know what keeps us coming back to a 12 year old game.

I don't think that anybody is going to say that we shouldn't. Honestly though, out of any Nintendo game that could be featured at NWC Revival, Melee deserves it most. However, I have a feeling that they wouldn't look at competitive rule sets and the community would probably rage.

That's a valid concern, but we also have relatively well connected guys that could vouch for our side, like Triforce for example.

Melee wouldn't really work because the nintendo WC were about completing an objective fast (i.e collect 50 coins in super mario bros.) They were all done to see who could complete it the fastest as well as get the most points. Melee probably wouldn't work and, even if Nintendo did get it in, nobody from the smash community would win since it's pooled together with other games

Melee at a Nintendo event.
4 players. 5 minute time limit. No stocks. Items on high. Brinstar Depths.

Although, I was at a Melee tournament way back in 2006 that was actually run by Nintendo...World (the official store in NYC). It was 3 stock matches, 1v1, and 7 minute time limit. Never say never, I guess.

 

[I.B]

let's do it!

 

[EPsilon933]

Hot topic at the #ImWithReggie TweetUp: If we had a new Nintendo World Championships using current games, what would we play? #Regginator

12 years ago is probably not considered current

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

I don't really care if Melee will end up being there or not, but let's make it clear to Nintendo that we are here and want recognition! I'm really sick of Nintendo ignoring the competitive community

 

[nooga]

VOTE THAT ***** RIGHT NOW

 

[Mew2King]

I'm about to make a status for this on facebook, but what exactly should I say in my status? I'm a n00b at twitter stuffs

Something like it's our chance to make some noise
It's actually our chance lol, don't care about the 12 years, just tweet

 

[Juggleguy]

Doesn't hurt to try... I think?

 

[KrIsP!]

Yeah, I don't know if we'll get in or if we want to but might as well give it a shot.

Go for something simple like "Let's get Melee in the Nintendo World Championships!

 

[Mew2King]

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE, tell all your friends, ETC ETC, this is a GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US (smash recognition in general by Reggie/Nintendo)

 

[Mew2King]

Everyone share my status from there ^ or my status from here: www.facebook.com/mewtwoking

so that all of facebook can see, and their friends and their friends and their friends

 

[prog]

And people laughed when we told Smashers to get twitter.

Tbh if melee isn't picked I would be VERY surprised.

 

[Mew2King]

Everyone create a twitter right now if you haven't already.

www.twitter.com

don't be lazy plz, we've needed this in the past several times this past year, we need it right now, and I'm sure we'll need it more in the future.

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

I don't think melee is the type of game that fits this. They are just asking, I think, rhetorically what people would want to see if there was a revival of Nintendo World Championships. For the uninitiated it was basically a tournament where competitors would get a special, modded cart with 3 games: Super Mario Brothers, Rad Racer, and Tetris and has a certain amount of time to get a high score. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_World_Championships
This isn't an actual tournament from the looks of it and I'm guessing they want stuff like "oh new super mario brothers u get 50 coins or catch nizbit" along those lines, but showing NoA that we are a vocal community (as if they didn't already know) and while we might not work for this is (more just a rhetorical question than anything else from the looks of it) they might throw us a bone sometime soon.

 

[JacopeX]

Believe it or not, this will be much harder to win than the Evo one.

It's the melee community Vs. The rest of the nintendo fanbase while some/half are turned off by the competitive melee scene based on their solemn minded outlook of the complexity and hype of the game and their possible bad experiences with the members of the scene. Did you read the tweets during Evo Top 8 for melee? It shows how clueless and apathetic they are towards it. And not only that, there are hundreds, if not, thousands of candidates since we are dealing with a huge library of nintendo games. Let's try anyways as a community and maybe we can beat the other Nintendo games and the will of their communities as well.

 

[Mew2King]

Regardless of winning or not, both Nintendo and Reggie will see that there is a HUGE supporting smash scene, encouraging them to focus and pay more attention to smash in general. Only good can come out of this. And yea I do think winning is very possible btw.

 

[batistabus]

Even if they're not looking for a competitive fighting game, it doesn't hurt to sound off. They're aware of Evo and they might be aware of the Smash Brothers doc, so maybe they'll throw us a bone or something.

 

[FlamingForce]

It's essentially the competitive Melee scene VS just about every other Nintendo fan with access to twitter.

I honestly think Brawl would have a much better chance of making it in, not that I'd rather see Brawl being played but in terms of viewership experience it's a far easier game to "Take in" for a casual player and it's also the newest game in the franchise.

This tweet is a possible step in a bright direction though, They're actually asking their crowd for their interests with regards to competitive gaming and with Smash 4 on the horizon we should definitely make our voices heard every chance we get.

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

I don' t think there is anything to win guys. NoA's twitter asks a lot of questions like this, they're just to spark people tweeting about them. It's really a rhetorical question. That being said, the more we respond to their official twitter with smash related stuff, the more they see how vocal and active a community we are. Companies like nintendo love having big twitter followings because it's free PR so don't go into this thinking we are going to get into a tournament they aren't hosting (at least not yet). But don't stop tweeting them, vocal communities are the best communities.

 

[Alphicans]

I think any votes for melee will probably just be counted for brawl, just due to the nature of this poll. But, hey, you brawl haters should recognize that's still good for smash regardless of what smash game is selected.

 

[Lawn Chair]

Guys, you're missing the point of this. Our main goal right now is to get Nintendo to recognize our community is still has a strong showing for this game, winning may be unrealistic. But we still have an opportunity to show that Melee, for 12 years is still one of Nintendo's greatest successes. That is what we are tweeting this for. We didn't stop trying at Evo. Why drop the ball now?

 

[prog]

The big picture, ladies and gents. The big picture.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

random note, i wouldnt exactly mind items, people would still play fast.
any type of melee/barlw/64 would be a good opportunity

 

[Lawn Chair]

No one should mind anything, as long as any smash game gets there, we will have a competitive showing

 

[R2_GP]

That "Current games"......killed us, no competitive nature is a fact for smash u, i voted tho

 

[Papa+Stone]

Can someone tell me why I should care about this?

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

Can someone tell me why I should care about this?

Because community growth is extremely important and should be our goal

 

[Papa+Stone]

Oh that sounds like a great motivation then. Sorry to have wasted your time sir

 

[kiw1]

DONT THINK JUST DO

 

[Britex]

If we managed to get into evo after all what's happened, then we can get Melee anywhere. There's no reason not to comment or to not be vocal about our community.

 

[PhantasyStar]

#FreeIceMountain

 

[Anth0ny]

if anything it'll be smash 4, with a bad ruleset, but that's better than nothing.

Nintendo acknowledging that the competitive community even EXISTS is a big step in the right direction.

@Zophar321 @NintendoAmerica Reggie suggested that Smash had to be a definite pick. The other two were Mario Kart and a new Tetris for Wii U.
