An overlooked outcome of this is that VGBC's financial future is now unstable. They were the ones running SWT and, I don't know if they could afford to reinstate the championship if they already canceled stuff behind the scenes. VGBC made a statement on twitter addressing this and it seems like they're going to have to seriously downscale/make some cuts if they want to survive. The fact this is happening to the biggest, longest running Smash TO/production company is tragic. VGBC arguably carried the smash scene for years, and they've been going since nearly the beginning. A genuine pillar of the scene might fall because of this. Also all those panda global players/creators are now in a really uncomfortable situation because of their boss's actions... wouldn't want to be them, I bet a lot of people are giving them shit they don't deserve.

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾 *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

Another truth many have been deceived of: When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

@JasonDean2047 SWT proceeded plans without getting a nintendo license nor did they comply with nintendo's valid health and safety regulations. It wasn't panda's fault nor any sort of underhanded business that led to SWT going under. Videos like this made Panda and Dr. Alan out as villians within days after the initial news. As a result we lost a supportive org and a licensed nintendo smash circuit, the Panda cup. If Dr. Alan had to go then fine, but Panda didn't have to.

Literally, my friends of a rave company out here had Mario themed raves/parties every year. Nintendo personally reached out to them and demanded them to post a video/photos of destroying ALL of their Nintendo related props, evidence and all association to it or they would be heavily sued. It happened two weeks before the event was supposed to take place and they were forced to change the theme and rebrand the event. And there are many other NY corporate shows that still do it and haven't gotten in trouble for it (yet). It baffles me that Nintendo hates everyone so much

Wasnt the tripping mechanic on brawl (that weird thing where your character would randomly trip for no reason) to make it almost impossible to play on a competitive level? thats how much they hate competitive smash, they would rather make their game shittier than have a pro smash scene. I know they walked it back (because it made the game almost unplayable) for ultimate but I think the sentiment is still there.

If Panda has a presence in the US, Alan's behaviour may fall foul of competition law. It's illegal to go to someone and say "only work with me otherwise I'll make it so that you can't work at all". Japan's laws may not work the same way, but the US laws cover citizens or resident corporations operating in any market globally. If he hasn't went super rat and covered his back properly, he's likely about to get a colonoscopy from Uncle Sam, and that dude's got big hands when it comes to shit like this

But it's still no excuse on why they treat the competitive scene the way they do, with Panda they were finally taking steps in the right direction, but that also ended up in this disastrous drama

Well is not like people just stop buying, consuming or playing their stuff.. This is just another one of many "dramas" related to cease and desist people will just get over it and then will proceed to get exited when a new direct drops. That happened when a melee tournament got shut down and just after that a new direct dropped everyone forgot about it even the streamers and youtubers that made noise about the topic, they made a rant and then proceeded to get hyped for the upcoming announcements. Any company can just pull this off and they know nothing is going to happen because everyone still consumes whatever they sell. People just should learn to not consume everything but nintendo fans in general are willing to keep getting their stuff even if it is not worth the price or if it has issues. Being anticonsumer is the actual way to get profit.
