Podcasts about super smash bros melee

Neste episódio comento a decadência do hip-hop com o retardado caso da briga do Kendrick Lamar com o Andrew Schulz, sobre o tenebroso caso do Hax$, um dos jogadores mais tradicionais de Super Smash Bros Melee que acabou literalmente perdendo uma perna por causa de impiedade do povo, que NUNCA tem razão e cobre sua impiedade e sede por sangue com um véu de empatia, e sobre o dantesco (e curioso) caso da nova musa do KrameriCast, Lyedja Yasmin, fazendo paralelos com comentários do Frank Zappa sobre como a nossa cultura é extremamente cínica e faz as pessoas viverem constantemente frustradas ainda que a vida seja incrível.

Welcome back to Super Crash Bros! This is a podcast series dedicated to kicking open the door to your next favorite Nintendo series! At last we reach the finale of Super Crash Bros with the ultimate crossover fighting gam franchise, Super Smash Bros! Jon and Amanda reunite once again to discuss the madness of Masahiro “Daddy” Sakurai's ultimate creation. They discuss the game's wild origins, starting in 1999 on the Nintendo 64. The game first started as a prototype that Sakurai and future Nintendo president Satoru Iwata worked on. However, they decided to add Nintendo characters for funsies. The duo then discuss the meteoric rise of the series, continuing with Super Smash Bros Melee for the GameCube, Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii (along with one of the best story modes for a fighting game ever, The Subspace Emissary),  Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, and, finally, Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch. Finally, the duo also talk about their favorite weapons and items to use in the game, as well as their favorite characters. Kinda wild Nintendo got away with a lightsaber by calling it a Beam Sword. Come on, come all, for the grand finale of Super Crash Bros!!

Super Smash Bros. Melee is a masterpiece of a game that continues to captivate players nearly 20 years after its release. With its addictive gameplay, diverse roster of characters, stunning visuals, and competitive scene, Melee is a must-play for any fan of fighting games or Nintendo franchises. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the series, Super Smash Bros. Melee has something for everyone, making it a true gem in the world of video games. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ongamecast/support

What an episode we have for you this week. Is it about the 2007 computer animated Ninja Turtles movie TMNT? Well, partly. We get to it eventually, around an hour in. It's just not a very good or interesting movie unfortunately. Not really much to talk about!But that's ok, because many other exciting things have been happening. Ben had a real life encounter with Hollywood legend Drew Barrymore and on the SAME DAY went to his first professional e-sports tournament AND THEN saw Barbie and Oppenheimer. An alternative title for this episode would be Ben's Big Day. Get ready to listen to a long-winded rant!Meanwhile, Alex has been making huge gains in the podcast sponsorship game. He had a meeting with a top executive that may result in our little podcast getting free Pizza Hut/Pepsi products for life. We've been waiting for this chance to sell out all our lives!Join us next week for the poorly received live-action Ninja Turtles reboot film. We will be joined by a special guest!

For my podcast episodes I talked about my favorite videogame of all time, Super Smash Bros. Melee. I also talked about the vibrant competitive scene community that has kept the game alive for 22 years. In episode 1 I covered the development of the game itself and talked about some of the major events that brought the game to where it's at today. In episode 2 I got to have a great conversation with my friend Sandzyboy who is also part of STL's local Melee competitive scene. In the 3rd episode I talked about where Melee is at today in 2023, both the good and the bad.

THIS WEEK: Joe and Peter celebrate the podcast's four-year anniversary by reflecting on top 5 lists of arranged and original music tracks for a game in the series that started their friendship and their love of video game music - Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Today is an introspective trip down memory lane. No game from 2001 has more time spent from both our hosts (together) than Super Smash Bros. Melee and that is a source of great joy and, as always, in Matt's case some skeletons deep in the closet. How will this monolith stand up to the march of time and can we still look at it fondly?

Entrati nell'era PS2 iniziamo a vedere i primi veri rantoli di una Nintendo non più leader del settore e i primi sentori di disperazione di questa. Le ingenti perdite (sia monetarie che in termini di supporto dagli sviluppatori), segneranno l'era del Cubo, una console da un lato non capita neanche dalla sua genitrice e porteranno l'azienda Nipponica a un repentino cambio di rotta: da conservatrice del media alla "Nintendo Difference" Volete interagire con il Gruppo di GameRevs?

Halo Infinite MP has been out a week, and I have some thoughts. Meanwhile that rumored WarnerBros Smash clone is real, and its spectacular. The external pressure on Activision is growing, and internal pressure isn't simmering down either. Meanwhile Lucasfilm is setting its sights on the future of the franchise, and TV seems to be the path. The MCU is setting up multiple secret projects, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a sequel worth your time.

In November 2001, Nintendo and HAL Laboratory released the second installment of the Smash Bros. series: Super Smash Bros. Melee. Not only did it vastly improve the original Super Smash Bros., but it still remains as one of the best fighting games to come out of Nintendo's legacy. With the series evolving with each new game, (especially thanks to Smash Bros. Ultimate), is Melee still worth playing? Eric does an in depth review of Super Smash Bros. Melee, to see if it still holds up after 20 years. Happy Anniversary, Super Smash Bros. Melee!

Yet another milestone on our timeline has been reached! Today we talk about the game that refuses to die, no matter what those surrounding it do or say. A competitive titan, a wavedashing masterpiece, a space fox's dream. That's right, everybody, today we discuss the legendary Super Smash Bros Melee, the early GameCube title that would take the foundation of its predecessor and become a template for all the games to come after. Why do Matt and Joe consider this game one they love to watch but not necessarily play? What's it like to know that this is the last time a Super Smash Bros game would have a single lead composer/arranger? And why did Hungrybox come to my house and uninstall all my items before forcing me to play as Jigglypuff?Join us next time as we journey into a world of… ghosts and dots? Probably?

Ready to learn the history, philosophy, and practice of an experienced professional in the test prep industry? MEET OUR GUEST Meet Jim Wismer, the Director of Ivy Experience. Jim first started tutoring for pay in eighth grade, and he has since earned a broad range of experience in secondary and higher education. Jim taught Latin and Ancient Greek and served as a T.A. in Greek and Roman history and mythology courses while earning his M.A. in Classics at the University of Notre Dame. After graduating with his Master's, he helped a small independent school develop a K-12 Latin curriculum. Jim has been tutoring primarily test prep (but still some dead languages) since finishing graduate school, when he came on board as a tutor for Ivy Experience. One year in, he was promoted to Director, transitioning into a managerial role involving training and overseeing tutors, planning with families, creating marketing materials, and various business functions. If you had told Jim as a young scholar that he would one day be a reasonably successful businessperson, that would have been quite the surprise to him.  Jim enjoys digging into the way students' minds work, whether that means finding just the right way to help them "get" an SAT math problem or brainstorming how to develop their own most time-efficient method to memorize Latin conjugations.  Jim doesn't really have hobbies, preferring temporary, all-consuming obsessions. Over the years, these have included yoga, Super Smash Bros Melee, camping, fantasy football, the Wim Hof method, and darts, to name a few. Find Jim at https://myivyexperience.com/contact/.

After two decades, the sun seemed to be setting on Super Smash Bros. Melee. But as one door closed, another opened, this time in the form of Golden Guardians, the esports division of the Golden State Warriors. The Golden Guardians are best known for the org's LCS team but also have invested heavily in NBA 2K and World of Warcraft. In the last few months, Nintendo's Super Smash Bros' Melee has become a new focus for the org. From a grassroots fund to signing a talented roster to hosting events like the Octagon, Golden Guardians are all-in on Melee. With the future of major community tournaments like The Big House in doubt and Melee being removed from EVO, the esport coming up on it's 20th birthday needed someone to step up. In this show, Hunter Leigh, the Head of Esports for Golden Guardians, talks about what the org is doing to support the entire Melee scene. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The full transcription of this show is available below:Mitch Reames  Hello and welcome in to loosely scripted a podcast from nerds. for gamers. I'm your host betriebs Today we are talking about Super Smash Bros. Melee. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and it's one of the most iconic games of all time, melee was a dominant esport for well over a decade go belly up or two decades now following the game's release in 2000, and what stars like mango ppmd Mewtwo King Armada, and hungrybox became known as the five Gods plus there was left in the godslayer melee is a true community sport eSports Nintendo was downright absent or even a hindrance towards Bally's. eSports eat at various points over the last two decades. Over the years. Other special titles like brawl is fast for released but never gained much attention compared to melee on the esports side. It wasn't until recently with the release of Super Smash Bros ultimate in 2018. The Smash Bros eSports seed has put a new title in the spotlight the melee is still at all time beloved title and now another organization is stepping in to help support the scene. The Golden guardians the esports affiliate of the NBA Golden State Warriors are investing heavily in melee. In April the golden guardians side none ppmd and tofu contracts. With Zane already signed, the guardians had the largest roster of melee players of any major org. In addition, golden guardians who started a smash bros grassroots fund which is committed 50 grand to grassroots tournament organizers to support Super Smash Bros Melee. In addition to that grassroots fun guardians are also hosted the octagon the first event ran last summer with the rematch between mango and zayde. set for June 5. Today we are talking to hunter Lee head of Esports for golden guardians. Hunter Welcome to the show. Thank you so much happy to be here. Golden guardians flagship team is the League of Legends squad. That's what you guys are best known for. Beyond that you got dog dog, a TFT and a bunch of Warcraft players as well. Why did you and the Guardian is what to invest so much at the melee to make the game the third one with a big investment from the orc.Hunter Leigh  Yeah, we did our we started in in League of Legends and we have to Kate team as well. And those were the kind of the more traditionally sports structured eSports that I think felt like a safe investment and sort of more understandable or digestible setup for the warriors to get into. And we were we were looking to expand after kind of getting our feet under us in those two games. We were looking for scenes that were a little bit more open. That would allow us to kind of have a little bit more runway to do our own projects experiment and be creative and and smash was on was on the shortlist at that point. For me, I had sort of run events in the Smash scene before as in my time in eSports, and knew a lot of the people and it seemed like a natural fit. And it just happened that around the same time Zayn was coming up for contract. And we hit it off right away talking to him. And so a year into that about a year later, as we were sort of looking around, okay, we're a year into our initial expansion efforts, what's going well smashed and gone extremely well, even despite COVID Zayn had had had an amazingly strong year and was was looking like the best player in the world. And the engagement from the community was, was as we expected, or maybe even better as we were kind of riding xanes coattails as he made the journey up. And it just made sense to kind of double down where we had seen success. And that really was in the Smash scene. As you stated in the intro, it's with the lack of developer support, or let's just say like an extreme openness from the developer side, you know, it's a natural place for orgs that want to do a little bit more to spend a little bit more time and money. Because there's so much space. So you know, it let us flex a lot of muscles and continue to do a lot of what we had seen success doing the first year was saying just bigger, a bigger and better stuff.Mitch Reames  Absolutely. And it was a tide that the bay like community really needed somebody to be like, Hey, we're gonna step up, we're going to invest in this seed. Because it's been a rough couple of years over over the COVID period, it was officially removed from the EVO roster place from ultimate, the big house online was shut down by the tendo with some issues with trying to play it online through emulators and things like that. So as these events are coming down, what do you see the future looking like for the esports scene in the absence of these events that represented sort of the biggest events on the annual Super Smash Bros calendar?Hunter Leigh  Yeah, and it's a great question. I do think I think those are, you know, troubling points, certainly in the history and i think i think what really has shown is that, that it's going to be successful despite all of that stuff, in some ways in spite of it or on the back of all of that trauma and difficulty and you know, sort of tough climb, merely just get strong. Right. And I think I think it will continue to do that. So those weren't particularly deterrence for us. I think it's coincidental that we were coming in after that, I think we'd be coming in right now. It did shape I think the nature of our of our expanded efforts. But to be honest, even if the scene still had those major tent poles, you know, going strong, I think the what were the work we're going to look to do on the grassroot side would be would be just as important. Even in that case, so you know, I think when when we were looking and talking to Zane around, okay, we want we want to expand here and we want to do more, what should we What should we do? I think it I think it helped clarify how to expand that, that some of those things that happen. But they weren't warranted to turn by any means for us.Mitch Reames  You mentioned the tenacity of the Smash community, in a sense that what door will close it has closed over the last few decades. And then another one has opened, somebody else has stepped up. But like, No, we love this game. We're going to support it. It seems like with those big Doors closing, you are one of the doors that is now opening, is that something that you're really hoping to do for this fast community be like, okay, hey, we might not have those events, but we're gonna invest we're gonna create things like the octagon, for example, that given time, could that become an event? Sort of like that? Was that one of the goals for you like, okay, it's just a basket of petard here from, from one institution to to now we're gonna take that?Hunter Leigh  I think so. I think so. I don't know if I think about it quite that in that sense that the big house goes down, you know, we're going to step in and fill that void, or we're going to build the next the octagon will be the next Ebo suddenly, by next year, I think, I think the health of most scenes is in its floor. And that is what makes the you know, the Smash scene so strong is that the floor, the grassroots scene is so strong. It's something that's built word of mouth, at these tiny in person events, and things grew up from there. And I think that the fighting game scene in general kind of tendency to, you know, the bulk of attendees at an event or people who play the game passionate themselves often are competing, technically sort of competing in the giant open bracket, draw whatever for the event itself. I think that that's sort of unrivaled. Most people who attend League of Legends, events play League of Legends, but they're not playing in that league of legends event in the same way. And the investment that comes with that the accessibility, the interactivity of the pros, the way it is often just like people standing around a CRT, right, they're really just like, it's a community in a very physical sense. And that is the strength of the machine. And I don't think our our role in this is to take over any part of it, where we're trying to be additive to this step, you know, sort of, from the beginning, and those were one of the four pillars that we kind of built this expansion on one, find, find some amazing people support them, let them do what they do bigger and better and, you know, accomplish their dreams in the space to put them together and see if we can make something that comes out of the you know, sort of the synergy of these personalities coming together is is really unique and interesting and make some content out of that. Three, have some events that that you know, sort of check some unique boxes in the space. And I think the next octagon, octagon will do that. And I think slippy and some of the stuff we can do creatively in the online version of the game, you know that that's come out of COVID. And in a more serious way, I think it's really interesting. And there's a lot of customization and other stuff that you've seen the trailers that that you'll see at the event itself that I think is that is really exciting. And then for I think the grassroots fund return and get back to the, you know, to the bottom of the of the scene, the funnel that is making all of this so, so strong in the beginning. So I don't think it's our role to take anyone else's place, or to try to replicate something that was there before. I think it's to add to what was already there, and maybe try to pave the ground for some new stuff that people haven't seen before.Mitch Reames  Absolutely. I love that. And I think it's you know, I want to ask about each of those individual things that you put forward following up on the article, but I do want to talk about slippy is sort of the online play at how that's opening up and that the grassroots fraud as well because that's I got chills as you're talking about standard route a CRT monitor and play because I don't think I'd be sitting in this chair doing this podcast without attending events like that back in like the 2011 2012 2013 rage really was one of my bursts of of Esports in general. But at octagon two, which is coming up on June 5. The influences pretty clear what this is going to be like it's like a price fight. It's an octagon so us fees, you UFC seems like a natural influence here. Why don't you guys feel like that type of format makes sense for balay where you to put two of the game's biggest stars head to head and really bill it like a prize fight.Hunter Leigh  I think the sort of grudge match history within fighting games is something that we wanted to lean on when we were coming But the first octagon last year, and I think Remote Play, it was just going to be really hard to see your you know, especially in the early days where it felt like the west coast in the East Coast might be strongly bifurcated. And in online play, the idea that you might not see Zane versus mango, or, you know, pick your favorite East Coast player must go play or play play each other for a year or two, or who knew, you know, I mean, we really had no idea what we were getting into, and all of that, that seemed like a natural way to try to do something different and interesting. And I think Zane and mango have always, you know, had this kind of rivalry or budding rivalry that that has just continued to grow as they've been, you know, two of the best players performing and all these online tournaments. So we wanted to double down on that when we came up with the octagon last year, I think, extending that into this year, you know, feeling like this kind of prize fight structure, somewhat in the art style, which I think has been incredibly successful in the team has done a great job to sort of old school boxing style, I think moving that forward. Again, I think, taking a bit of a cheekier tone to it this year, and in the animations and stuff that the team has come up with, I think in general, all of that is just resonated fighting games are fighting it is price fighting, all of it is fighting for money, it's digital fighting for money, and there's, you know, there's, there's, it is different, but I think all the intensity and passion of of going get somebody that you know, is going to be an incredible match for you and seeing whether, you know, it's the young upstart, taking down the the old guard, or the old guard, standing strong and casting somebody back down to earth or whatever. I mean, I think this the stories are as old as time. And this is just, this is just the sort of smashed version of them. So, you know, for this one, I think having more personalities in house to, you know, throw more directly into the competition. And, and sort of take on, you know, the golden guardians mantle went a different way, I think, I think just ups the stakes for everybody.Mitch Reames  I love it, because smash is one of those games that has those people, those old gods, the people that can sort of be the challenger, the champion, versus the challenger in the sense that we see in boxing in it. And in UFC so often it's so think that's really cool. You mentioned the regional rivalry, something else that's pretty unique to melee was the location based ranking systems, which really offer this complex path to pro as people climbed. Hey, there's 16, the Nor Cal, and there, you have this, nor caliber, So Cal rivalry or the Ontario or Michigan or wherever you want to be you have this ranking list of the best melee players and I don't know any other esport that could say that most have a right bladder that exists, but not that location based kind of thing do to really the older nature of melee. Now you guys are introducing this grassroots fund, how do you hope that will help keep those systems running those location based regional tournaments that helped create rankings of the best players in Washington and the best players of Texas and the best players in all these different states around the US? Yeah, soHunter Leigh  the core assumptions is that, you know, this competitive structure, that kind of path to pro or competitive crucible that starts with people just playing in their dorm rooms, or you know, with their friends after school, or whatever, you know, is really strong. And it honestly, it's the kind of system that most other eSports should be envious of. Because it takes this like deeply social element of like playing games on the couch with your friends, and actually starts them directly into a funnel that can lead up to professional play, and it still has actually produces results regularly where someone like Zayn can go in a relatively short amount of time from playing in college to being one of the best players in the world. most traditional eSports the big successful ones League of Legends, etc, have left that phase of their sort of talent development behind a long time ago, and are actually looking to replicate it in some form in this like larger, higher stakes, you know, bigger money way. So I feel like that structure is kind of there regardless. But I we do hope that a little bit of money just to keep things flowing along the way can go a long way and kind of greasing the wheels and making that easier for everybody. You know, again, as with everything, there's no, there's no interest or attempt to kind of put our stamp on what's happening at a local level by on those kinds of doing great work, like everybody around the country is doing amazing work and some region is stronger than others, there's sort of rise and fall over time and like where the talent is coming from, well, we just want to be there helping all of those people continue to do what they do and see if we can help make things a little bit better. So you know, we put we committed $50,000 to the fund. We're not looking to drop that in 510 $1,000 chunks on, you know, the Texas region and just sort of come in and flood one event with something we really we really looked to dole it out and $500,000 you know, maybe 15 $100 for some bigger regional events support thing and just help people in market Efforts prize pool, you know, sort of, sometimes it's going to be literal logistics of the event, getting space getting equipment of one kind or another or, you know, working with an artist or other people to help promote, you know, online, getting getting your twitch stuff set up, whatever, whatever that might look like, we're gonna, we're gonna trust those people at the local level to know how that money is going to best serve them and just look to step in and help where we can.Mitch Reames  I think that's ideal in so many ways, where it's those types of regional tournaments are difficult to organize. And usually it is a small amount, not a relatively small amount of money that sort of is the barrier there between, hey, we've got a bunch of people who want to organize this heard of it, but oh, well, we have to get this, we have to get that and just grease the wheels a little bit to be like, Oh, we can tap into 500 bucks here or grad that'll help you know, put up a prize pool, make sure we get everything we do make sure we get the space that we need for it. You know, it's those kinds of things that people don't think about at this age of massive eSports events that still are what makes so many eSports scenes go round, and especially melee game that has so many routes to these regional players. I played a tournament back in University of Oregon, like dorm room, not not a dorm room, it was like a conference room on the campus. And the top prize is a $50 gift card to the yo duck store. And yes, and it was one of my favorite things ever. First of all, because I was able to compete because I'm not good enough at any other eSports actually compete. But if that's the kind of thing to write, think about what it takes to put that on. It's not much, but it brings all these people together. And if it if they didn't have just a couple $100 here and there, that event wouldn't have been possible, probably.Hunter Leigh  Yeah. And I think people get like, people get hooked into eSports. And I think we all know this from our, from our years doing it in this small thing where they did something with a friend, and they want a game, maybe they didn't think they were gonna win or whatever. And they're just like, this is the greatest thing ever. I'm going to do this for the rest of my life, you know, one way or another. And I do think those kind of like, dorm media room sessions are exactly that. And if we can make sure that the pizza is there, and it's hot, and that gets like four or five extra people and one of those people is like yes, I am now going to play smash for the rest of my life and becomes the next Dane or mango or whoever, like I think that success I it doesn't have to be transformative things that that take that college event into something that's never been before. I mean, that's fine. We're not against that by any means. But the simple things can go a long way in making events successful and a little money can do can help do that.Mitch Reames  Absolutely, absolutely. I think my dorm room was the like, unofficial tournament stopped by dorm room was just opened it was on the TV. All the time is either fascist or NFL street at all times on my GameCube. But it was just a rotating cast of people covered it tried to challenge people would come in from other floors or other friend groups who thought they were the best, it was great. So I have a special place in my heart for that type of like grassroots especially melee organizing. Not that I did anything really official, but it's just fun to bring people together in a game that almost everyone has played, which makes baileigh unique as well is that it's this game that everybody has some history with it, whether it's just Kirby dow being like playing as a kid or if it's actually getting good with a specific character or trying out unique strategies, developing them with your friend group. And so I've always loved that about about melee, in particular is that anybody can pick it up, and they probably have some sort of history with the game.Hunter Leigh  And I think that's that spirit is the I think the energy that's behind the YouTube channel that we put together and the content that's going on there, which is I think this can get lost sometimes in eSports, as well. And, you know, again, not to be overly critical of the bigger scenes or whatever, but i think i think there can be an effort in general in eSports you know, especially with the aspirational name to try to say that this is serious business and it's serious people and it shouldn't be dismissed or laughed at or whatever. And that that I think desire for credibility which is totally natural in this especially as people are putting more and more money in can sometimes take away the fun and we want them the YouTube channel to remind everybody and and sort of celebrate the fun of smash which is this crazy chaotic game, leveraging these characters that we've all been playing since we were very little in this often quite silly and strange way and that community has come up with tons of for fun game modes and other things and there's this rich history to draw on and I think eSports should be fun. I think all of this should be fun. I think that was when I you know was first talking to Zane and then when we were talking to Zane about who else to bring in that kind of core element. We want people who aren't afraid to be silly or you know who are having fun with all of it and and have built a community around themselves that sort of is you know, is sort of celebrating the the fun, the fun side of this stuff that We're looking for that. That's what the YouTube channel I think best embodies. And the goal of it is to, is to bring these great people together and have fun. And I think that comes from, you know, the sort of thing that we were all doing as we were kids with characters that we all know from when we were kids. And I just like spinning in circles is link like, it's not a good strategy. But I really like doing it. It just it's very satisfying for me. And you know, that is at the core of my love for the game and one sense it's just spinning in circles and whacking people as far away as like,Mitch Reames  the doubt throw into up be on the ground is one of my all time all time favorite boobs just just so much fun. It's actually a very nice segue, because there was this pretty famous interaction. I don't want to do a direct quote, but it was back around 2008, the 2012 I think Nintendo COVID. It was like, hey, people are plagues Smash Bros Melee in a way that we didn't intend. It's so competitive. It's sucking the fun out of it. I thought that was kind of a again, that's a paraphrase of the actual quote that came for Nintendo. But it was kind of something i thought was broad in some senses, which is that people love playing Smash Bros competitively, because they had so much fun playing the game. You don't you don't play a game for 10,000 hours because you're not having fun at it. And so it's just the people that took it to this last agreed Yeah, there are people play the game that the developers didn't attend, they created a really complex esport but they probably were attending a casual party game. And it's that's kind of that dichotomy of like fun versus competition was sort of at the core of the Nintendo's Smash Bros eSports. relationship and battle at times. As a tournament organizer, how is it navigating that relationship with Nintendo now two decades on, they're now investigate ultimate, and they seem to be investing more heavily in the ultimate eSports scene, but still sort of leaving melee by the wayside here and there. So how is that navigating that relationship with Nintendo? Yeah, um,Hunter Leigh  I don't want to get into too many specifics. But I but I will say is that I think that characterization that they're leaving melee by the wayside, I think that can sound negative. And I think what the community has has proven is that that's actually maybe the strength of the melee scene is that is that in the absence of a top down direction for this is what you know, Meili eSports should look like and we mean in in a serious way, and Nintendo is going to put their stamp all over it, or any developer is going to put their stamp all over it, the community has sort of been able to decide what they want it to be organically. And the rich history that comes out of this continues to define what smash is going to look like going forward. And frankly, probably influences ultimate more than ultimate wishes, that it did in a lot of ways, not just because people move back and forth between the scene or our, I think there's always a lot of attention to read, do you want to be in the more official, you know, officially recognized and supported esport are not, but just that these characters have, you know, the, literally the champions within the game, right, have a rich competitive history already, that is going to be sort of subconsciously influencing everything that happens in the new generation. And so I think in the absence of, you know, a top down tone, or direction that's coming from, from Nintendo itself, the community gets to decide and that lets soon sort of silly things happen in a lot of ways that are still competitive at its core. So for the octagon, you know, we're flying mango to Tuesday's house, they're actually going to play in Jane's basement, just like you would with your friend that you invited over after school, whether you love them or hate them, or somewhere in between. and it you know, it is kind of this, this tremendous, you know, sort of combination of old school tech and CRTs. And I think Zane has been talking about folding chairs, I don't know, if they'll literally be folded, you know, something that feels really retro, you know, that is now streamed across, you know, across the country, and combined. And it is that exact, you know, sort of jump between this kind of old school physical thing that was happening into this digital product that everybody can consume, from wherever we are that that is, I think what makes smash truly special, and for the Warriors, building a new stadium, you know, a basketball product that is also trying to do the same thing or already has and want to learn about, that's exactly what they're excited about. Not just in Smash, but in eSports, but especially in Smash, how do you take this physical thing and digitize it and make it somehow even better than it would be, you know, in the room in this product that's going out everywhere? How do you you know, bring people into that space or whatever. And yet saints basement, you know, on Saturday, and we'll see what that looks like. And I trust him to make that something and we'll see. But you know, it's Evo or these other events. That's Genesis, you know, this amazing event with this huge crowd. You know, I think I think Nintendo doesn't have to tell us or tell that tell the Smash community, what smash should look like i think i think the community knows they've proven at this point that that's something that people want.Mitch Reames  Yeah, you make a really good point is this fast beauty for years was like, hey, well, we'll take this, you don't have to do anything. But also don't put roadblocks in our way. Don't step in and pull this away or try and try and do these other things. So that's, you know, I think just an absence, there's is the best case scenario for melee at this point. So final question for you, I know you got to run. We're talking about this new online age of playing melee. So the big house on lie gets shut down because of a mod because you can't play GameCube games offline. So they are playing slipping you with a dolphin emulator or something. I actually haven't looked into that too, too deep yet. So I get why the tendo has to step in there. But do you feel like there's a different solution or something that's in the works right now, where we're fighting this way to play melee online, and the tendo is gonna be okay with it either with Nintendo stamp of approval on it or just that stopping off? Is there a way that we can play competitive melee online going forward without the worry of Nintendo? stepping it?Hunter Leigh  I don't know, is the short answer. My guess is that worry will always kind of be there. I think it's, you know, it in some ways, it is core to the to the Smash scene at this point in the melee scene at this point is that there is that that fear? And I don't expect that that's going to go away anytime soon. And I think it speaks to maybe one of the larger concerns is that a lot of people look at smash and are worried about what it is. And you know, without Nintendo's blessing, what what it isn't as a result, and all I would say is that what I think with the last year's proved is that we would do far better to look at what the melee scene is instead. And what it is is thriving, and strong and super resilient. And that's not going away anytime soon. And I don't think it needs this specific online solution or, you know, some other tech solution that might result or whatever i think i think you know, what we're doing right now is flourishing, I think Nintendo's probably happy enough with it, that they're not that they're not doing anything about it and that that's successful for everybody. So, you know, I think Nintendo has its own reasons for pushing ultimate. That makes a lot of sense if you're Nintendo when you know, who am I to tell them how to how to do what they do. But I think what the music scene has shown is that, that that resiliency is here to stay and it will find a way to continue to thrive regardless of what exactly the exact mechanisms that are needed right now to compete are.Mitch Reames  absolutely absolutely the Malay seed is not going away. They're a beautiful community and they're not going to let this game die and with places like golden guardians stepping in, to help out help grease the wheels help make sure the melee community has those resources they need to keep on going. We appreciate golden guardians and thank you hunter for coming on the show. This was a pleasure I hope you all enjoyed this podcast Be sure to check out the oxygen God to odd Jude fifth.
