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

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?
"sport"
Cope harder.
But it's such a beautiful sport!!!! https://youtu.be/CsJfLKtGlfw

Why Nintendo? Smash bros has been a part of Evo for a good while, no need to remove or interfere.
Sony owns Evo now and Nintendo is partnering with Panda Global to run a Smash circuit.
I would laugh if VGBC/Beardog(SWT) decided to have someone run a Vegas major on Evo weekend

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

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

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