They refused to let SSBM's tournament be live streamed.

And JohnKnight is assuming the worst, and going very far into the possibilities in the future.
I personally think he's taking things to far.
A SSBM tournament=??? No, this is the biggest smash tournament ever, bar none, we won't be able to stream it, we will get minimal videos of it (all banned by EVO, due to legal threats; we have to hide our videos, like E for All Brawl demo videos in 2007), and we will literally not be able to view one of the biggest event in the games' competitive history.

We will miss the return of Ken after 6 years, the rise of Dr. PP, the great pool SFAT is in, and most of the brackets. That sucks. That is stupid. That shouldn't happen.
We don't know what Nintendo will do next year. After the crap they're getting right now the marketing team may just have a say and we'll see a few executives pull rank. Heck, if the Wii U continues to not sell they'll have a lot more problems than whether or not a Super Smash Bros stream gets aired at EVO. We all need to just stop with the hyperbole. Is this a dumb move? Yes. Is this indicative of a policy that will continue into the future? We don't know. Judging by the immense reaction, probably not, but for now let's just deal with the situation at hand.
Well Nintendo already got Brawl black balled competitively, and now Melee.

Gesh, I wonder what they'll do with Smash 3DS and WiiU. :rolleyes:

I done with it John.

No use bringing it up.



I apologize for talking down to you, but you do that quite a bit as well. To everyone sometimes. Putting you down was not my intention. I was just trying to help.

Either way, I need to go blow off some steam.

Not sure whether I should randomly raise a scene to secure my self-imposed title of biggest ass on the forum or not....

It means we won't be able to see it. Instead of getting what we got with Zenith and APEX (where I watch all the videos), I will get 5 videos of crappy quality. It will be as if history didn't exist. It's like when the video footage of the World Series of the past were lost; it sucked. This is one of the biggest pieces of Smash history, and damn it, we won't be able to record it or see it.

5 videos of crappy quality is better than absolutely nothing. And if you see those 5 videos, that means it's there and you can see it.

And maybe I'm being an optimist or I don't understand fully what I'm talking about, but seriously, John? No livestream doesn't mean Smash is no longer in the competitive scene with other games. It's still there, whether it's streamed or not, and just because you can't livestream doesn't mean you can't record and upload later (which is how I watch most of these things anyway).

But honestly, I'm sick of this topic. So I'm just dropping it with that.

No, I'm the biggest loser on the beach. They buried me in the sand here and forgot me.

Oh please, I took that title the moment I punched a catgirl. ¦D

Though to be fair, her hair was blue. According to the law of Ash Ketchum, anything and everything blue is evil and must die. ¦(

Instead of posting a stupid gif that proves nothing, prove me wrong. Use logic and reasoning.

Brawl is already black balled by all major tournament organizations, and now it looks Melee is black balled, too. This will happen with Smash WiiU and 3DS... probably immediately.

Unless I'm mistaken, I remember you saying that you wanted to play that competitively. Well, good luck getting livestreams for that, which hurts the community growth, hurts the community interaction, and actually hurts Nintendo.

Saying certain things could happen (I'm not saying they will) doesn't mean I'm wrong or right, but that, because of this, it is very possible. The thing that scares me is summed up by this: I don't know what they will do; you don't know what they will do. Instead of stopping this months in advance, Nintendo waited until literally the Majora's Mask 72 hours started. What's next=??? Does Nintendo go down a downward spiral, or is this it=??? Anything is possible.

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.
No, it is the last chance smash has at being in a gigantic tournament, UNLESS WE WIN!!!

I'm not talking merely as a Melee or Project M competitive player; I am talking on behalf of the Brawl players who were screwed at MLG by Nintendo (that actually made me quit competitive Brawl, and that was the last time I played the game without mods; I actually almost sold my Wii after that); I am talking as a future competitive Smash 3DS and WiiU player.

I want smash in the big show tournaments. I want the livestreams, I want to be on the livestreams someday (I've been on some for Project M), I want to see the big moments on livestreams. Don't you see=??? Nintendo of America is trying to stop all that. And you know what=??? It's wrong, and I want them to stop that. I feel I have the moral obligation to let them know that I am sick of this.

That is all I am trying to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don't bloody remind me.

Fire Emblem should be much more colorful, but instead we get stuck with Chrom and Lucina. Like, bloody hell.
Best case scenario: we keep Ike, he gets axes on some moves (Up Tilt, D Air, U Air, F Smash ; double Ragnell / Urvan hit ~ Copyright by ManlySpirit all rights reserved ~) and in a similar vein, Chrom / Lucina get lances on some moves.

Not sure whether I should randomly raise a scene to secure my self-imposed title of biggest *** on the forum or not....

Calm down. You keep saying you're calm and zen but you keep going on about it after everyone dropped it.

WE WONNN!!!!!

I'm calmer than calm bro!!!! WE WON!!!

Also, I was talking a lot because I care a lot, and because it matters a crapton more than a game that I won't like as much as Melee, and we got like no new information on in over a month. Deal with it sunn, and you calm down.

It's a heck of a lot better than all the crap we've had to hear about Fire Emblem characters.

Hm...

Maybe Diddy's in the running too. :troll:



And SUCCESS!!!

I'm glad Melee's back. The links aren't working for me, but hey, I'm happy.

Nintendo's not some big bad after all.

I thought I was the biggest *** on the forum.
Close. You're the biggest salt dispenser on the forum. :troll:

In all seriousness let's try not to instigate this further.
....damn it.

HULK IS THE STRONGEST THERE IS.
I SEE ASSHOLES, BUT GOLDEN BIGGEST ASSHOLE THERE IS!!!

You're ugly.

Your turn friend.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

And with that, I end my turn.


Oh please, I took that title the moment I punched a catgirl. ¦D

Just one? I punched 10. In the skull.
And anally ***** 6 of them. The other 4 died before I had the chance.


Sorry bud.

Noah's got you beat by far.
Well of course. He's Meta Knight tier.
But like Meta Knight, he is banned from this competition. So by default, I win the title. :troll:

















Am I livening up the mood yet?

See, John? Now all that anger and destructive power was for naught.

The Moonknight leader was causing chaos. All according to plan... Mwahahahahaha. :evil:

I'm glad it worked out in the end.

And people say Nintendo doesn't listen to their fans. :laugh:

Well... They certainly address problems better than Microsoft that's for sure.
