Assuming I counted correctly the Ludwig Smash Invitational for Melee has:
10 of the top 10
20 of the top 20
27 of the top 30
34 of the top 40
38 of the top 50
Plus Wizzrobe and a bunch of other amazing unranked players.
It has every active player that has ever won a major. Nuts

A father and son came up to the Melee TO desk at Supernova and asked how to hack a wii. Wanting to assist them I escorted them outside so they could hear me better, then I confiscated their badges and reported them to Nintendo. No place for criminals at our smash events smh

Nintendo stringing SWT along for over a year to put a bullet in their brain three weeks before their event (and the day before Thanksgiving) has to be the most malicious thing they've done to the smash community since EVO 2013.
The upcoming Smash World Tour Championships and the entirety of the 2023 Smash World Tour must be cancelled.

Thursday night at Guildhouse I was talking to Jmook when someone came up and asked him if he was Jflex. Jmook looked at him, smiled, and said "no I'm Jsalt" and the other guy went "oh nevermind then" and walked away. I knew at that moment that Jmook was going to win Genesis.

Simply unfathomable for them to drop this news on me 1 month before the tournament. All I can say is I tried my best.
Important information regarding the waterpark
Due to construction the lazy river will be unavailable. To make it up to us, the Kalahari will have the Outdoor Waterpark OPEN during Riptide weekend every day from 12pm-6pm.

I made the decision to ban NoFluxes from Riptide last year. Not Unsure. Not the other TOs. Not all the people NoFluxes and others have tried to direct their ire toward.

Everything you've ever read about the resiliency of the smash community, multiply it by 100 and that's how resilient the P+ community is. While the smash community is rejected by Nintendo, the P+ community was/is sadly rejected by everyone else as a result of fear of consequences

The year is 2050. Top players refuse to play any matches outside of 2pm-6pm. Tournaments only stream top 8 because nothing else makes them money. Commentators have been replaced by deepfake ai of Scar and Toph talking about Ping Pong. Drephen is still handing out Pumpkin Delights

Yet they persevered and they found a way to survive, to grow, to continue doing what they love.

It is crazy to think that EVO 2016 ran the largest open bracket fighting game bracket ever with Street Fighter V (5107 entrants) while also running the largest Melee (2372 entrants) and Smash 4 (2662 entrants) tournaments of all time.

Ken is one of the most sincere and honest people I know. He cares deeply for the smash community and it is really messed up to see him get libeled like this.
Hard to taking this 32 pager seriously, but since I was called out, I'll respond in a thread.

The origin story of many TOs is "nobody was doing it so I did" and often what that looks like is having to learn everything on the fly while making plenty of mistakes along the way while few if any around you offer any support or guidance.

The

priority at Riptide is the safety of all attendees. If you jeopardize that you do not belong at Riptide, plain and simple. I do not want you at my tournament. Go play somewhere else. If somewhere else doesn't want you either, maybe you need introspection.

SMYM is the longest running Super Smash Bros tournament
The next stop on the Panda Cup, The Big House, is the longest running Super Smash Bros. competitive event and the 10th iteration is this weekend in Detroit, MI
With three more spots at the Panda Cup Finale up for grabs, this historic event should live up to its hefty pedigree

Sorry to the players that had to have top 16 matches off stream on Sunday. Stream equipment that worked perfectly for us Friday and Saturday suddenly didn't want to cooperate on Sunday, leading to multiple crashes that delayed us. Going back to only top 8s on Sunday next year.

Squiggs and I TO'd a 100+ person Smash 4 tournament at Daisho Con with 4 setups. Squiggs got all the entrants to sit in the rows of chairs near the projector and called the matches to the setups like it was the Price is Right. If they weren't there we did a crowd countdown DQ.
