Interesting how this was a major complaint in the comments about the Anthem article, and now youre putting basically a disclaimer in the article. Beating the critics to the punch Jason? ;)

Im sure youve noticed by but Bioware responded to the article. Claim the article unfairly targets individuals. 

Kotaku really needs to let someone else handle the smash articles. Youve proved multiple times that you don't accurately represent issues in the smash scene to the audience, and instead flavor them with a bias of how you think fighting games should be played, marginalizing issues in the scene as petty rather than…

Is it real cork? Because that shit is going extinct.

You really managed to stir the pot with this one by not reporting any of the pertinent info of why a simpler resolution couldn’t be resolved. Whats hilarious is if you guys had just farmed reddit for your info like usual, you would see that most the community is fine with what Mars did, but not fine with how the TO…

Pausing was disabled. And he tried. Ref was in the back, not paying attention to the set. The juvenile part was not telling his opponent he was gonna get the TO, but it was in his right to do so. 

Smash winnings are a joke. Only like 2 players make a “living” just playing and everyone else has other jobs. A closer comparison sport level would be competitions like Judo or Taekwondo.

The reality was there were rules in place for this. They werent being enforced because the TO wasnt there. Whether or not you think they should have thicker skin or not.

The community mostly agrees, but not for the final resolution. The TO wasnt present and pausing was off. So normally, a player could call the TO over after the first couple shouts to complain, and the TO would ask the player to stop or leave. Couldnt happen, player got tilted and panicked. The other player got back…

It has happened in basketball. Theres a famous story about the couch telling his players to leave the field, and telling the ref that if the crowd didnt calm down, they werent coming back out and were just going to take the loss. The refs wanted to game to go on, so they got the crowd to calm down.

In smash, while the player is on the spawn platform, its a long standing rule that they can pause to call over an isse. The TO was in the back and pausing was disabled. Its not as simple as that. 

He was calling out the move the player was doing an instant before he did it, loudly. In a 1 v 1 event all about reads and reactions, its a big deal to have an assist. 

Litterally paid for their sport when most these people are hobbiests who make next to nothing spending their own money to travel to tournaments? Yah, them having their sport as their profession might have something to do with it relatively.

He tried, the TO was in the back room, not watching any sets, and pausing was disabled. After getting tilted by having no other option, he stormed off to go get the TO. He acted rashly, but the disturbing audience member was the inciting issue. Had they determined that the player had no cause for complaint, then im…

Important information:

“I wouldn’t eat a burger that’s half-done, I wouldn’t even eat it if it came out medium rare and I asked for medium well, I’d send it back or demand a refund.”

Actually it didnt brick consoles. They could ad can be reset. Bricking involves making it an unsuable brick.

That’s actually not how capitalism works. If you expect quality, then spend money, if you spend money and don't get quality, you get what you paid for.

A “progressive charitable company” founded by a man child with sexual assault allegations against him who publicly shamed his accuser into silence with the help of friends like Will Wheaton? But did this before metoo and timesup, so everyone forgot about it? Also so charitable that they donated none of the money the…

The smash community is nothing but dumb expressions.
