On second thought,

I would go to a tourney that has the rules Random Character, All Items (on high), Random Stage (all)

Just because it would cause "purists" some level of distress



I would probably lose badly, but that would be OK

100% serious E3 Prediction: Smash Bros. DX includes a special "Melee Mode" that tweaks the physics and poo poo to be the same as melee. This is interpreted by Melee people as a direct insult from Kimishima himself.

You're wrong in that that mode won't exist (it'd be a pretty complicated thing to pull off and Sakurai doesn't give a poo poo), but you're right that the melee community would take it as an insult even if it could exist

It's just a generic placeholder because of the Nintendo Direct with all the game trailers. The kind that has a December 31st 201X release date so they can just fill the details in when they get further information ASAP instead of make an entry from scratch for all those nice immediate :shepspends: preorders.

Releasing Smash this year, along with MK8 and Splatoon 2 would be savvy in a way to have the most popular Nintendo online franchises free to play online and tempt people into buying into the paid online once they cannot do it for free anymore.

Woah, woah, you're joking there friend. I know you're just joking. Tom Nook is everyone's best friend, he helped us set up our home and gave us a very reasonable rate on paying it back. Like a good best friend. Not like the people who made enemies of him by not paying him regularly and got their kneepcaps broke, we're not like those guys :ohdear:.

There will be treehouse stuff, but note that it will be punctuated with three invitational tournaments: Splatoon 2, Pokken DX, and ARMS, so a lot of the time will be on those things.

Hideki Kamiya, or the guy who made Rivals of Aether.

Nintendo will not, and should not, cater to the whims of Smash pros, especially after that weirdo had a fit recently and declared it "a lifestyle"

I mean if you were Nintendo wouldn't you pick ARMS/Splatoon as your prime "esport" over a community that literally wanted to take back a trophy won by a child just because he USED ITEMS

The Smash 4 tournaments don't seem to have the same problems and are larger than the melee tournaments anyway.
