I can already see the salt for various reasons:
  • Another swordie.
  • Should have been another Square Enix character
  • Whining about promoting a game on a different console, not on or coming to the switch
  • Didn't choose my character that has no chance of getting in (Waluigi, Sora, Geno, Doom Slayer)
  • Square Enix doesn't deserve more representation
  • Should have chosen another franchise
Rosterfags are so funny.

"Sir, our current actions have been a PR nightmare! What do we do?!"

"Tell Sakurai it's time. Activate code One Winged Angel."

To be fair taking down Nintendo soundtrack videos was a shit move.

But nightmare? Far from it apart from some clickbait content creators and the #FreeMelee hashtag movement died off quick and the Etika Joycon disaster put them in a bad light.

Super Smash Bros. Code of Conduct Panel officially disbands​

The backlash and number of accusations were too much for the panel to handle.

Over the course of the last year, the Super Smash Bros. competitive scene has endured many hardships, whether that be dealing with COVID-19, Nintendo shutting down tournaments, or sexual misconduct allegations that were brought forward.

And as a result of the latter, the Super Smash Bros. Code of Conduct panel, a mostly anonymous group of Smash community members that worked to uphold a cohesive community structure, has disbanded.

This decision was made for several reasons, but one of the main points was that the team is so small, the list of allegations from the summer could have taken them years to investigate.

“During the summer, many voices asked ‘Why wasn’t someone doing something about all these people?”, and the reality is that at our current pace of work, we would need five or ten years just to go through all the accusations and possible cases brought up this summer,” said Josh Kassel, Smash player and member of the CoC. “Thousands of hours would be spent listening to testimonies or getting details of the darkest parts of our community, and that is when you consider only the people from this summer. Any questionable behavior in the meantime would get added to a waiting list that could be a decade long.”

Kassel also said the hostility the CoC faced from the community played a factor in this decision. Some of the publicly-known members faced harassment, even if they had nothing to do with the people included in their cases.

Now, the small team has concluded the task is “ too big for it to be sustained through faith and strength of will alone.”

Following the panel’s disbandment, the former members are encouraging everyone—from major tournament organizers to local players—to hold others accountable when they notice inappropriate or dangerous behavior.

The code of conduct itself will remain available to the public in document form if anyone wants to have a guideline for how to handle future situations on hand. The panel, along with two lawyers, constructed these comprehensive and well-researched guidelines.

I'm gonna guess and say that the the Pedophilia accusations and FreeMelee disaster was too much for them if it took so soon to make a statement like this, I wonder how much worse things would actually affect them.
 
Sephiroth's presentation will be tomorrow at 2 PM PST / 5 PM EST.

Look forward to thirty-five minutes of Sephiroth and for the ice to finally break where the Fatman stands, when Geno is announced as a Mii Costume.

“Five through ten years” let that sink in for a moment lads. Just how many of these fuckers are touching kids?

Because spamming hashtags has worked so well in the past, why not start a change.org petition while you’re at it.
 
Smash is a game that represents gaming icons through the decades. Geno has appeared in 1 game why are people so invested in this fucker getting in and are outraged that THE anime swordsman and someone who is constantly in the top 10 villains of all time lists got in instead.

I like Smash but the community is just filled with spastics.
 
Ya know, I’ve haunted this site for years, but every now and again I see a thread and think, “surely there isn’t a lolcow worthy community built up out of these sorts of people, the premise is so benign!”

And every time I think this I am inevitably shocked to find that yes, people are that deranged and wonder what these sorts or people did a hundred years ago.

probably just died in wars
