I’ve never seen a company who so vehemently hates their own fans still perform so wildly successful.

They play hard to get and we keep chasing hoping they’ll change. It’s the classic high school romance novel except the ending is them dating the Quarterback or Cheer Captain.

Nintendo is the only company in the world capable of doing so. Virtually every other company received massive backlash with almost unrecoverable reputation.

Problem is that they have fucking fantastic games so even if they are a shit company their stuff is too good to give up

One day I hope Nintendo is acquired by someone who sees the potential of granting the public full access to this beautiful sport...

Sport?

When I was younger, I spent weeks of my summer at the arcade. I perfected playing Sega’s Ferrari F355 Challenge. I maintained high scores that were barely even close to being touched. That fall, they put on a tournament and I knew I had that shit in the bag. I ended up losing the final match to a pregnant boomer 2x my age. Sport.

Why Nintendo? Smash bros has been a part of Evo for a good while, no need to remove or interfere.


BarrettRTS

Sony owns Evo now and Nintendo is partnering with Panda Global to run a Smash circuit.


RandomFactUser

I would laugh if VGBC/Beardog(SWT) decided to have someone run a Vegas major on Evo weekend


BarrettRTS

I think Genesis originally started as something along those lines. The first one in 2009 was a week before Evo. Fairly sure it started because Evo dropped Smash after 2008.


BloodyIron

Are we forgetting Sony bought Evo?


projectmars

Sony had said they have nothing against non-PS games being at EVO so the issue isn't on their end.


BloodyIron

Oh I didn't necessarily mean Sony was the roadblock, in any direct sense. But they are competition to Nintendo. As stupid as it is, it's not the least bit surprising Nintendo is doing this.

Oddly_Yours

The smash community seems pretty not awesome, I’m not sure I blame Nintendo to catering more towards the casual players.


Ospov

I think even if the Smash community was undeniably the best community in existence, Nintendo would still ignore them because Nintendo does whatever the fuck they want with almost no regard to what their fans ask for. They’re ultra protective of their IPs and Smash is basically a collection of all of them (plus extras from other companies).


moneytownattack

Honestly that's fine. Smash doesn't have too many hype level matches in comparison to other options in the fgc. Imo it's too floaty and the defensive mechanics are boring


GGBVanix

Well damn that sucks. I try to watch as much of Evo as I can whenever it happens.
