What do you think will happen with the Freemelee movement?

I think you are right, I don't think I should have done this thread, or I should have done it with other approach. I don't think I should ask you this but how can I close a thread? I don't see how can I do that

You just report your OP and say you want to close the thread.

Baity as f considering how big the smash community is :/

People care :(
Noting your average consumer does not care about an esports scene isnt really...notable.

How big is the smash scene really though? I feel like it's just a few thousand people at most.

How many times/ways are people gonna ask this?

It's gonna blow over. Smash fans (and Melee fans specifically) are not as important as they all seem to think they are and it makes no difference to Nintendo.

I think a more accurate statement is "Don't run a tournament using emulators under a brand previously sponsored by Nintendo" (The Big House folks did not look for money or sponsorship from Nintendo for this iteration of the event), but agree with everything else you've said in this thread.

But they did. Nintendo was sponsoring the event. It's why Nintendo asked them to not stream Slippi/Melee in the first place.

What movement?

 

[Crashman]

I guarantee if Melee is ever ported or released, the changes in input latency for HD TVs alone will ensure it's rejected by the competitive community.

I've always sort of thought this in the back of my head. Even if there was a port of Melee proper, there would be some sort of issue that would throw the game off for the competitive scene, so they'd just stick with GCN version anyways.

 

[Windrunner]

I think the Smash community should get its own house in order before making unreasonable demands of Nintendo.

No shit, Nintendo don't want to support an event that requires a modified ISO of Melee for all entrants. It's utterly childish to expect them to be okay with that.

OP, your threads read like you're living in a serious bubble.

On god.

 

[Ogodei]

Nintendo's not going to budge on Slippi so they'll just have to wait until they can have in-person tournaments again.

 

[VariantX]

It'll fizzle out and die, then people will realize that they are able to stream Melee without Nintendo sponsoring any events and life will go on.

This. You also need people outside of it to give a shit, for a movement to gain any traction too.

I do agree my last post wasn't very well thought, but here I don't see anything like that, but I agree that it was a little but redundant the way I structured it

"Movement".

Oh my god.

"Movement".

I doubted using that word at first, but at the end it was the most appropiate I guess

People also seem to have unrealistic expectations of what Nintendo "leaving them alone" would be.

One of the complaints is that Nintendo left companies like Red Bull hanging when it came to doing a licensing deal for Red Bull to fund a league - the expectation seemingly being that Nintendo stepping back from any involvement would allow that to happen whereas something like that could never happen without Nintendo's permission.

It will get more obscure, smaller and/or die off. The only way to continue is complete opposite of growth.
