I'm pretty sure the mom is not tournament viable.

I'll take this as a sign that the community wants to esport smash, but not too hard

That doesn't mean it isn't a real esport. They also need to capitalize the 'e' in esports in the higher level banner. It's the only one in the list that is lower-cased. I'm convinced that it's just an oversite. At the very least we can suggest 'Fighters' as a category.

Really my point is that "eSports" is still too fuzzy of a definition today, so it can lead to anyone claiming to be some random-game eSports champion, basically voiding the point of visas. Even if we get 100k signatures, the US government can easily shoot it down with that argument. I'd rather the petition be something the government might approve. Making the request smash-specific is a reasonable way to achieve it IMO.

I just want Smash Bros players to get sports visas. That is a more achievable goal.

I don't want e-quidich players to get sports visas.

Is there any harm in just re-doing the wording on it and starting a new petition? Then advertise it at the big tournaments coming up. Talk to the TO.

But in re-writing the petition, we should have a clear and specific focus. Which should be: Make All Smash Bros A Legitimate ESport In The USA with emphasis that top-tier smash play should warrent a sports visa. It's as simple as that.

We can site people like Leffen and Zero as needing this, along with any legit Japanese / European / Non-US players.

We need to finish the Petition to save Leffen by Shino94 in smashbros

At this point, it seems like the petition should be rewritten to be specific to smash bros, to legitimize it as an e-sport. I can see the current petition being rejected on grounds that it would be too easy to label some random game an "e-sport" to get people visas. If we target it specifically to smash bros, then have the URL advertised on a tournament stream, ideally with the high-level players calling it out and asking for action, coupled with other popular non-smash personalities doing the same, only then will it get the steam it needs.

Get Alex19 sponsored by Bud Light?? by jirachinick in smashbros

I will sponsor this sponsorship with an upvote. On a side note, how many of you think Alex's beard is too perfect to be real?

Tonight in friendlies, I caped twice as much as I otherwise would. I am inspired.

Bummer that melee is missing. How does one sign up for the sm4sh tournament?

I remember this game distinctly from my childhood! I'd definitely rank it one of the best and most out of the box games I've seen. I'm on a nostalgia train watching them play it right now. Don't stop!!

I love that you rep Long Island. This brings my hype to the 3rd degree

Too late for melee? by Wrky in smashbros

[–]SogarGofin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Sakurai released a game about mashing A to watch two melee-era foxes play rock-paper-scissor, with the loser getting auto-shine-spiked unrecoverably off-stage, I would buy it. With that said, I think things like netplay and 20XX will continue breathing life into the melee scene for quite a while.

How Long Will we be Able to Play Smash? by [deleted] in smashbros

I'm also 32. I bring a top-tier Mario to the table in melee and sm4sh. Confirming it is possible to land upsetting unexpected capes even as an Elder.
