I like smash quite a bit, but if I was Nintendo I would block every fucking tournament that I could. The competitive smash community is pure poison and I wouldn’t want my name anywhere near them.
I dont think its fair to SEVERELY punish an entire community because of a few bad members. They already moved past it
Assuming this was Nintendo's reasoning. it's not about punishing anyone, it's just about making sure that you can't be associated with or caught supporting that scene.
Yeah, Nintendo totally wants to distance themselves from... Smash Bros, the game they make and continue to update regularly.
No, there's no chance it's done due to the few bad actors involved. That would actually hurt their reputation worse, because it was VERY few people involved with serious scandals out of THOUSANDS who play competitively. Banning the game due to that reason would actually make the situation seem more widespread than it was.
