The tournament organizers behind Riptide announced on Friday that they will eliminate Brawl Mod Project + from their next Super Smash Bros. Major at the request of Nintendo.
Riptide was recently contacted by a representative of Nintendo of America, Inc. with respect to our Project + events, the statement of him read. As a result of this conversation, there will be no tournaments or configurations of Project + in Riptide. We understand the impact of this news for the community of Project +. In short we will contact all registered wizards for Project + events with more information and the updated reimbursement request procedure .

The Riptide team initially planned to accommodate individual and double events for Project +, the successor of Project M. would have appeared next to a line of games that included Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros.ultimate, Rivals of Aether and Splatoon 2. Brackets Because these games are still scheduled to perform from September 10 to 12.
Business as always for Nintendo
The cancellation of the Project + tournaments of Riptide is the last of a series of trade decisions that have used Nintendo the wrath of the competitive SMASH community. These decisions go back to 2013, when Nintendo tried to cancel the MELEE group of EVO 2013 and, later, the live broadcast.
More recently, Nintendo urged the Big House to not arrange a Melee tournament online at 2020 using Slippi, a software made by fanatics who, among other things, added the backcase network code to Melee of almost 20 years . When they refused, Nintendo issued a cessation and withdrawal. This prevented The Big House from transmitting events for Melee or Ultimate.
Nintendo justified his actions against The Big House claiming that Slippi requires the use of illegally copied versions of the game. While you can play Slippi using a pirated body iso, it does not require players to use an illegal copy of the game.
Nintendo has historically pointed to modified versions of your games as Project +. An example is ProjectNX, a MOD of Smash Ultimate that stopped developing after a Nintendo representative told the developer Felipe Nyxtheshield Montero that ProjectNX would probably do an unauthorized use of Nintendo's intellectual property.
Well, since we are in that, I am releasing the mail that Nintendo sent me to inform me about its intellectual property, which made me make the decision to stop the development of ProjectNX. # Savesmash #freemelee #freepm pic.twitter.com / 9ZTM4QL2JP.

Well, while we are in that, I am releasing the mail that Nintendo sent me to 'inform me' about its intellectual property, which made me make the decision to stop the development of ProjectNX, Nyxtheshield tuished.
The Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit of the United States ruled that players could freely modify any game just bought for their personal enjoyment in a 1992 judicial case that Nintendo lost. In any case, Nintendo has the exclusive legal right to publicly show its games. By extension, you have the ability to close any transmission of your games for any reason. As a result, the Riptide team probably canceled its Project + events to avoid a cessation and withdrawal of all its transmission as The Big House previously incurred.
The SMASH community responds to the cancellation of Project + events by Riptide
The broader SMASH community has joined the Project + community after the elimination of the Riptide game. The best player in Melee, Juan Hungrybox Debiedma, rated the actions of Nintendo unforgivable. Meanwhile, the developer of Slippi JAS Fizzi Laferriere declared that he was sad by the community of Project +.
Reminder that Brawl does not even have active servers online. He left in 2008.
This is unforgivable at this time. There is no legitimate reason for @Nintendo to do this that does not include a total disconnection with the current culture of its consumers.
Craziness. https://t.co/2tysttspio.

Some game companies adopt their modding communities and end up converting those mods into games that generate years of income for themselves.
Nintendo, on the other hand, tries to trample anything that smells to Mod, despising its biggest fanatics.
I'm sad about the community of p + / pm. https://t.co/ixfsvp8nra.

Nintendo, instead, tries to trample anything that smells to Mod, despising its biggest fans. I'm sad about the community of p + / pm . It has been talked about Project + players will continue to go to Riptide to organize an unofficial tournament. Even so, players have resorted to. With hashtags like #Savesmash and #freepm in protest so they see as the last attack of Nintendo to the Smash community.
