As a parent In the Midwest smash community I think this is incredibly inappropriate.
-The
#1
seed in the tournament is a Minor.
-Multiple players in contention are minors.
Does it really need to be spelled out for you that using “Adult-based” incentives in an event open to
Ban is fair but the replies LMAO
Yall are SOOO mad that a woman swayed the votes. On GOD.
How are yall tight that someone came up with a good incentive that wasn't against rules and got a good outcome from it? Unclench or you'll get a hemorrhoid, my dude.

I humbly disagree here. Smash is different style of fighting game but they are still a fighting game. The FGC as a whole is comprised of entirely different sub-cultures and demographics depending on the title so that does not seem like a fair set of qualifiers.

He is an incredible player regardless of his character choice, and has a history to show it.
The current narrative that the character is overly busted supported by top level players does more harm then good.
We literally watched a Sora take a game when Leo couldn’t.

It’s probably important to note that this seems to be in line with the JeSU (Japanese esport union) recommendation to avoid esports events being regulated by the Amusement Business Act, and considered gambling.

STOP IT!

Safe and a welcoming competitive experience.
That’s all you need to send people home with a smile.

Your argument is that these developers are creating games specifically for esports and Nintendo wanted built a party game. But Smash as a franchise is as old as many of the franchises that drove esports success to where it is today.

That is an incorrect statement. Games like Warcraft, Starcraft, the Original Call of Duty etc, we’re not originally built for esports unlike some modern titles. The competitive scenes that passionate fans created for these games are what lead to what we know as esports today.

I went on vacation to the United States of America. Went to a smash bros event called Collision, had fun, but the last night there was absolutely shocking, some low life’s orchestrated a sexual allegation set up. This is the evil you contend with in the world today.

The idea of banning a character from competitive play is very similar to concept of why Aluminum Bats are banned in MLB, The Aluminum bat by its nature provides the Player an advantage over other bats ("Trampoline effect") regardless of the players skill.

I'm sorry you want us to look past the fact that you as a COACH competed in a event as a “non-qualfied/registered” participant because the team chose a “former top level player” over their actual sub, all because you have not the taken opportunity to cheat in the past 🤯.
And
4. Grandstanding on professionalism & integrity
Pick your battles. This isn't the one.
On more than one occassion ISU has taken a hit on wins to enforce stuff like grade checks, punishment for actions, and not cheating when given opportunities.
Don't clap. It's expected.

It’s pretty sad the the community will rally behind calls for a “NA Smashmate” but won't rally behind a call to stop the harrasment of fellow competitors, especially when they are minors.
Where are all the top players and figured heads from community loudly denouncing this!!
Every top player in this community is a human being. In fact, some of them are minors who aren't yet capable of emotionally handling their spotlight. If you take time out of your day to harass acola (or any other Steve player) please go fuck yourself.
