There are people defending this on Miiverse. There are people who are saying it's selfish to want to stream the matches.
thats just a very few people out of the bunch that are complaining. I just made a post and it got 21 Yeahs instantly. people aren't happy.

I don't play smash but I play just about every fg, and I didn't notice anything significant happening there.
Nintendo, c'mon son.
The Wii U is floundering. This would be a prime opportunity to drop a New Smash reveal or something to promote yourself and the console. There should've been a playable build with Megaman right there with all the Capcom supporters there.
Other companies wrote checks to get their game in their. Fans of Smash threw $95K at Breast Cancer Research for this chance. Why are they doing this?

Well was never planning to ever buy a Wii U, but at least I have a reason now!
In all seriousness though, I'm saddened to hear about the news. I loathe the FGC and e-sports, but I have never gotten to witness Smash being played at a high level before. Too bad.
Back to playing Injustice.

Interesting, I wonder what the case is now. Probably the same, if not worse.
Did it just not clear in time, or did Nintendo overreact, or what? Ball is in the Cannons' court to explain if this is a thing/they knew about it.

You've obviously never watch an EVO stream. It's extremely sanitized, and when MK streamed there was a content warning beforehand. This isn't some rowdy backalley production.
They take the "there's no such thing as bad press" mantra to the extreme.
Great - I'd love to see you and your merry men walking on this franchise.
I don't think it's possible for you to do it.

Alot of people play it? Just cause something is popular does mean its good. Miley Cyrrus sells tons of records, and that shit is ass! It just means that there a ot of people with bad taste. That s all.
Its ok if people disagree with me. Read what I said above. There are a lot of people with bad taste.
What's SSMB?

Maybe we could vent our frustrations in a more positive way again. What if we started another donation drive, not necessarily for breast cancer research but maybe another goal in light of this to again highlight the positive angles of the competitive community?
I can't believe how seriously this is affecting my continued attempts at calling myself a fan of Nintendo. Someone has to find a way to divorce the IP and talent of Nintendo from these truly stupid and antiquated policies that help no one and hurt everyone that just wants to have fun with Nintendo output man. It's like, I still can't come to grips with this shit.
Hearing the comments supporting this bullshit from the world of Miiverse too is just head shakingly fucked up.

I'm not defending the decision. I'm just trying to think like an idiot lawyer that works for Nintendo.

The Noel story? I don't recall any mainstream news organisations picking it up. Hell, I don't think any notable gaming site outside of Kotaku picked it up. I don't think anything similar happening at Evo will be any different.
Which is soon to receive a sequel on their floundering console.
Yo, shut the fuck up before someone with red text does it for you, Rico.
After eliminating one member of a team entirely, they grapple juggled the remaining combatant and then proceeded to juggle him out of the arena for a KO.
High level play of SSB is a entirely different beast then casual SSB.

I'm not sure why you would want to, many try and never come back.
You dont stick around with a thriving community for 12 years with no official support on shit.

Guys, post screencaps and links to miiverse posts positive or negative pls.
Right now this is about Nintendo.
This doesn't have anything to do with Microsoft. This is a Nintendo thread. There was a time and place to discuss Microsoft's astroturfing and the corporate dicksucking that was going on a few weeks ago.
Right now this is about Nintendo.

Under the radar. You get big? People start to look at you and either want to control things or get their own piece of the pie too.
You're a Nintendo fan? lol
Free marketing for a game coming out next year. It was announced in a Nintendo Direct, so it's understandable you haven't heard about it.
I would compare it to publishers using DRM on PC; fighting the internet (even when their actions are illegal) is a losing battle every single time. You can keep kicking and flailing and hope you manage to beat it back, but based on past precedent, it's a fool's errand.
The lesson is that the only way for the internet to not be your company's enemy is if you embrace it. Yes, people are going to do all sorts of ostensibly bad things like piracy and streaming and people making porn out of your games. You cannot stop this, and trying to crack down on it only makes you look bad, so the only reasonable approach is to try and figure out how to harness these social forces for your own good.
I mean, of course I understand why a company would wish it would all just go away, because it makes it far easier for them to control their brand and image broadly if the internet and all its myriad social functions simply didn't exist. But fighting the internet is like boxing shadows, and the longer Nintendo takes to figure that out the worse it will be for them.

Dude I'm pissed at them too, but aren't the mods usually very against Nintendo related conspiracy theories?
Smash has been at Evo before. Melee was selected by Evo fans to get played there.

There weren't streams back then. N seems to have a problem when you broadcast their games live.

but what if pirates managed to steal the sourcecode of melee from those EVO streams and make their own competing party fighting game
well they could've turned it into a great marketing event for their next Smash game coming out next year. i know it was getting a lot of people excited for it last night in Cosmo's pre-evo smash stream. lots of people chatting about it.
Thats not how someone describes a game they think its merely mediocre. Nor how they do it in a non antagonistic way.
That was awesome.

It's been stated before but even Nintendo banned streaming Smash Bros from official leagues like Major League Gaming. And they've been going after Let's Play videos on Youtube.
