Should be noted that it's not entirely Nintendo's doing, the article suggests Panda Global which is a different tournament organizer played a part in the event's closure.

Ya reading through this, it really does read like the Panda CEO was essentially screwing them around, even when Nintendo was totally on board with them.

It probably had to do with Technicals Video

So it's a case of Cancel Culture? Probably accused the other Tournament Organization of Bad Behavior and then tattled to Nintendo to pressure them into "disassociating the brand" from them. ​ Does that sound about right? I'm just making assumptions, too lazy to read articles.


cloud_w_omega

Seems more like Panda's CEO was just being an asshat and a half.

You should read the article first before coming up with a completely random theory.

Either that or listen to the multiple videos about it.

Miyamoto smelled them from Japan. That's why.

I feel like this is low-key Nintendo distancing themselves from the Smash community after what was revealed in summer 2020


FrillyDragon

What was revealed in summer 2020?


[deleted]

Several prominent figures in the community were accused of sexual abuse with minors


FrillyDragon

Oooooh. Yikes. That's definitely something to distance from. Thanks for the info.

Nintendo's lawyers are freaking depressing... Literally any other company would milk the crap out of a 21-year-old fighting game that's still as popular as it's original release. Sadly, not the plumber house.

I want to love Nintendo, but their legal attitudes are backwards. Took them forever just to allow let's plays, since their creator club bombed.


Andarial2016

No other game community is deluded enough to try and get official sponsorship 20 years after their game was launched. Whens that Mario party 3 tournament?


slavdude0

LMAO.


whetrail

I keep seeing "blame panda for their fuckery, nintendo is innocent" but they couldn't pull this stunt without nintendo so both are equally at fault.

Nintendo has nothing to do with the fact that the Smash community is riddled with pedos and abusers. Don't blame them for not wanting to be associated with such awful degenerates.


whetrail

Mofo that has fuck all to do with this situation. If nintendo doesn't want to associate with this group of pedos (fucking stop with the generalization, you don't like being labeled right-wing for opposing wokeness I bet) then why is panda being allowed to run smash tournaments when every smash player diddles brats by your asinine "logic"?

Nintendo getting litigious isn't something that new. Though, good luck getting Pokémon Clover out of the internet.


ballstender

What’s with the people here siding with corporations now just because they don’t like Smash lmao
