Agreed. not cool john. Calm yo' t!ts.
Where did I say that=???

Stop putting words in my mouth folks.

I wrote my implications and theories on it in my previous post.

If this prevents money from going to breast cancer cure groups, then shame on Nintendo of America thought.

Their "rights" are clearly being used for wrongs!!!

I really wish someone could record their twitter rep's reaction when they log on and see their mentions.

You know I am by no means a competitive smasher and I don't care at all about EVO but.....this was a pretty stupid ass decision by NOA....just why? I mean I kinda don't care (personally) but just what was their reasoning?

John, the money is still going to cancer groups. They didn't stop the funding, nor the tournament; they only stopped the stream. It has more to do with Nintendo's legal departments' backwards view on video content and less on some malicious action targeting Melee players.

But what about the people that are a Cancer ♋?
According to Opossum, Cancers shouldn't be wished upon. As such, they should not be blessed. As such, they should not exist. As such, they should die.

See? This is why no one like opossums. Evil little varmints. ¦(

Guys, apparently this is on the front page of Reddit.

Also, the caller Prog was on just got sniped off the chat. OH SNAPPP!!!!! :awesome:

But hey, at least the lady was nice, and maybe gave too much info! :chuckle:
Did you leave out the word: never. Or...?
I meant to say "never get cancer." You know what I meant. The only people who I don't wish no cancer go to is murderers and rapists.

Also, if Nintendo really wanted cancer to go away, at least breast cancer, they'd let Melee get livestreamed.

For the love of god I hope we get new information tonight.

Because the butthurt needs to cease for a while.

People. Melee is still at EVO and it is STILL going to be on Youtube and other sites.

The only thing that is affected is EVO's live stream. That is all.

Melee still has the opportunity to shine at the tournament. It's just going to have to in different ways.

I read your location, and found a quarter in my left pocket. I am now thoroughly convinced that you are George Washington.

No, you're looking at this year; I'm looking at NEXT YEAR!!! Next year, Melee and Brawl won't be a part of this fund; the year after that, Smash WiiU and 3DS also won't. That's less money for breast cancer research, and that sucks.

Did John literally just say Nintendo doesn't care about cancer if they don't let a video game get streamed?

Wow. Okay then.

Is this confirmed? I wish somebody from EVO would come out and say "Youtube uploads are/aren't happening."

People aren't allowed to stream it. What part of that didn't you understand=??? You can't use a tripod, you can't use a real video recorder, you can only use a ghetto setup. Maybe if you knew that, you'd know things aren't okay at any level, and that this is possibly the END of competitive smash in the fighting game community.

One in which unless this is reversed, we get crap video, few videos, and people who record videos on anything but cell phones get booted from EVO.

That's what I understand.

The stream is the only thing that isn't happening I believe.

Frankly, nothing's stopping people who play Smash from giving money to Breast Cancer Research. If they only donated the money to see Melee at EVO and not for actual Breast Cancer research, that's pretty damn shallow.

People are pretty damn shallow if you didn't notice. That's why they have to run charity drives and events like the one that got Smash into EVO to get people to donate.

Calm your **** girl.

Just calm down. This is not the smash apocalypse.

Either way, I thought that they could upload things after the fact as long as they didn't use the live stream.

I missed quite a bit. Is the money still going to cancer research?

LMAO, EVO is streaming Brawl right now! :laugh:

No, I'm saying if they really liked us raising money for Breast Cancer cure research, they'd let us livestream, and run for this last spot next year to raise even more Breast Cancer cure research money, which by de facto means they don't care for cancer research as much as their bottom line... whatever that is.

I still don't know what Nintendo of America does, other than translations, delaying games, putting up their crap servers, putting up their region locking, not making games (Retro Studios is totally independent from them, sans translations and small minor crap which they also usually get with Nintendo of Japan), and botching crap up.

Also, you are now blocked, because you are an idiot... goodbye, good riddance, and may you learn to actually open your eyes for once you blind fool.

Nintendo and Sakurai will anounce a new character tonight to coddle everyone back into their loving arms...

Until we all look and it's Mii

I see, so because no one will be able to view a tournament live without showing up in person, this might end the competitive smash community.

All because of one thing. Tournament is still happening. Money is going to cancer research.
And people will be able to view it elsewhere later on. All because no one can watch it live from their home.

I don't get your logic.

John, don't you think you're getting a little to into this?

I mean, all in all its a video game tournament stream. Not even the tournament, just a stream of the tournament. There is no reason to flip out over this. Lives aren't being taken. No one is getting hurt.

Just calm down and let's solve this rationally. We got people on the phones talking to Nintendo. Twitter and Facebook are exploding right now. Just give it some time.
