This isn't the first time our humble community has come together to do something incredible only to attract unwanted attention from corporate lawyers; our last major run-in was in 2013, after we contributed over $96,000 to breast cancer research. https://www.polygon.com/2013/7/11/4513294/nintendo-were-trying-to-shut-down-evo-not-just-super-smash-bros-melee
But thanks to an outcry from people on Twitter, Reddit, and everywhere else, Nintendo went back on their decision and allowed us to share our game with the world at Evo. Thanks to people like you, 2013 was one of the greatest years in Melee's history <3 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-reinstates-super-smash-bros-broadcast-at-evo-2013/1100-6411228/
With your help, we can do it again. So if you think what Nintendo's done is wrong, if you think community is important and ought to be protected, if you believe games are meant to be played, or if you just want to see some humanity
