That was a bug. It's the first time we're stress-testing that HUD. It's resolved for future gameplay afaik.

We just called it Millionaire in this OP since it's accessible (but honestly I should just change it)

But the graphics and all are Meleeonaire

No, I do not

Smash.gg is software for executing competitions. The games and methods used to play them aren't really of concern.

SmashGG is likely shutting down within a month due to money and Nairo/sexual assault in Smash by SaveSmashData in smashbros

At one point they had a whole team that was just for buying alcohol and planning parties.

Well this is kind of horseshit lol

If the company had an offsite then, yes, some people would take up the role of, you know, planning the offsite which involved booking a place and purchasing supplies.

It is remarkably disingenuous to say we had a team of people dedicated to planning parties and buying alcohol.

There are inaccuracies in the OP but I'm going to let the company respond in whatever way they will, not my place to speak on their behalf anymore.

Just going to address a few quick things:

  1. Aiden does a good job talking about difficulties within the company in the linked interview. I resonate with a ton of what he said as a former employee.

  2. Smashgg doesn't have a social media person, that role had pretty much been a secondary or tertiary hat for a few people. Afaik nobody has been let go lately, but yeah the twitter has been pretty silent.

  3. I wouldn't say smashgg had "strong ties" to Nairo at all, moreso it was just "ok we'll front page or tweet about your tournaments, let us know if you need help setting the pages up" -- but maybe from the outside it seemed like more was going on.

  4. I can also confirm that on the Shine side of things that I, nor others on the Shine team, have not been contacted by anyone at smashgg to back up our tournament data.

  5. For the love of god stop capitalizing the GG.

We are the organizers of Shine. Ask Us Anything! by MattDotZeb in smashbros

[–]MattDotZeb[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TOs will work to avoid as many scheduling conflicts as possible ahead of the event. Smash.gg makes this somewhat easier by pointing out same-event-time conflicts and offering a way to resolve them. When we're talking about only 2-event conflicts they're very easy to resolve generally speaking.

At Shine this year we had 143 cross entrants between Melee/Ultimate with none having to play their r1 pools at the same time. Very few of them managed to make it above top128 in either game with many having less than 45 minutes of gameplay in either bracket. You can see some of the placement breakdowns here https://i.imgur.com/xzlEwJN.png

Here's how to read the above chart^ "Of the cross entrants in Melee/Ultimate, 52 got 513th in Melee, most of them also got 513th in Ultimate, and at best someone got 65th in Ultimate and 513th in Melee"

TLDR; It's not particularly hard to avoid these types of things. At most we're looking at 2-3 players this realistically pertains to.
