Probably for the same reason you would have been happy to see one teeny tiny clip of Smash 4 in the trailer?First! I don't know why people were so happy to see one teny tiny clip of Melee (like 2-3 seconds). That big of a deal?
..................................Yeah you got me there. XDProbably for the same reason you would have been happy to see one teeny tiny clip of Smash 4 in the trailer?
If that ever happens nintendo is going to be super pissed.I want project M at EVO...
well it features a smash game at a major tournament and doesn't go out of its way to take melee out of the trailer so people will want to see it i.e. it is worth an articleYeah, this doesn't mean anything. It was just a highlight video of EVO 2014. Not worth an article.
I voted for just Smash 4. In my opinion with Smash 4 being brand new it'll be much easier to get Nintendo on board for sponsorship for the new title. Especially since the Wii U version will be out with all its GCN additions. Not to mention we can use modern means for the tournament vs CRTs and the like. Plus Smash 4 is still very new so it could get a lot of people out of the woods and on board with hype for the new title.I think Smash4 is a shoo in a Evo. so we need to support Melee so that Melee could be in too.
1.) Smash 4 is new
2.) Nintendo will back Smash4
3.) MrEvilWizard himself tweeted that it's a logistics nightmare for a big tourney like Evo to host Melee
Voted for Both!
For those who voted for just either Melee or Smash4 only. Can you share your stand why?
I dont think so. Some of the good PM players were at the invitational, invited by nintendo specifically. Heck at the invitational they knew of PM and said they didn't care about it one or the other.If that ever happens nintendo is going to be super pissed.
There are plenty of other ways to test smash 4's competitive value that don't entail risking the progress we've made the past couple years. They'll be plenty of other tournaments for smash 4. There's a lot at risk so we should absolutely be putting our best foot forward.Brawl was given a chance at EVO before so I think that Smash 4 should have a chance as well
hail satan10 more years~
Them lawsuits will be so hard, someone's really gonna be feeling it.If that ever happens nintendo is going to be super pissed.
Nintendo definitely wont let that happenI want project M at EVO...
Original game only. (as SSBM)I want project M at EVO...
I feel like honestly a lot of people were afraid of saying it because they felt they "owed" melee's resurgence to evo. It's pretty obvious based on Mr. Wizard's responses he has a clear bias for smash4, such as when people gave cogent responses and sources for data on attendance overlap, and why melee deserved a spot over smash four with responses like "oh but the logistics", and "that's not really an unbiased view" without even addressing the points that people made.
I personally want to melee to return, but it makes sense that with the pressure from nintendo and the money/new players from the new game would be an insane incentive for evo to take smash 4 instead of melee. I'm not going to deny straightforward logic, but I do think its pretty ****ing stupid to make people vote on melee vs smash 4 when clearly:
1.) smash 4 hasn't even come out yet
2.) Mr. wizard has shown a strong bias towards smash 4
3.) the choice for both games isn't given
So it's pretty ****ing obvious that Mr. Wizard wants to "justify" pushing melee out of the roster without taking on responsibility for it. Its fine to choose smash 4, evo isn't run by us, but to put all this bull**** on our community and ACTIVELY encourage ****-talking between smash 4 and melee players is ABSOLUTELY bull**** and he deserves to be called out on his bull****.
THE WORST PART WAS I ALMOST DIDN'T REALIZE IT. I was already starting to hate on smash 4 when there's absolutely no reason to hate on it, it's mr. wizard setting up this situation thats causing all the tension. If he was going to choose smash 4 that's fine, but to make the community turn on itself is truly vile.
I agree with you.This is from Reddit awhile back and I think it should be posted here. It has a bunch of good pointers worth noting. Rather you are for Melee or Smash 4 or both read this. Let's not split the community and just enjoy the game(s) we love.

Because it's something new and different.For those who voted for just either Melee or Smash4 only. Can you share your stand why?
This is a pretty inaccurate comparison, reason being is that Smash 4 has never *been* at EVO hence there are no clips that they could have in a video meant to highlight the fun of being at EVO, from EVO.Probably for the same reason you would have been happy to see one teeny tiny clip of Smash 4 in the trailer?
I'm sure they do care. Every time I even hint PM in Nintendo's forums or Miiverse, they instantly remove it for 'criminal activity'I dont think so. Some of the good PM players were at the invitational, invited by nintendo specifically. Heck at the invitational they knew of PM and said they didn't care about it one or the other.
