We are no longer labelling players as "banned". Downgrading skill levels, peaked at 39th on SSBMRank and doesn't appear to be top level either in the era before that, and purged other characters. Also fixed two inaccessible sources that were thankfully archived prior, and replaced DJ Nintendo's twilonger response with an archive for good measure

'''DJ Nintendo''' | |||
'''DJ Nintendo''' was a Dominican-American ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Fox}} main from New York City. He played ''Melee'' competitively from 2002 to 2020. He almost exclusively teamed with {{Sm|La Luna}} in doubles tournaments, and their team was known as ""Grab n'Go". He was known for being proficient with most of the characters in ''Melee'' and was considered to be one of the best {{SSBM|Bowser}} players in the world alongside {{Sm|WarriorKnight}}, along with having a solid {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, {{SSBM|Mario}}, and {{SSBM|Samus}}. He was also known for having some of the most consistent survival DI in the world. DJ Nintendo was previously ranked 8th on the [[New York City Power Rankings]] and 76th on the [[2017 SSBMRank]]. | |||

==Controversy== | |||
Rumors circulated as early as 2010 in the New York City Smash scene that DJ Nintendo had a history of coming on to girls and messaging them in an inappropriate manner. On July 3rd, 2020, Aliylian came forth on [[Twitter]] with sexual harassment allegations against DJ Nintendo, alleging that he tried to groom her from 2016-2017.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200704072153/https://twitter.com/Aliylian/status/1278931167861825536</ref> | |||
In response, DJ Nintendo posted a Twitlonger that claimed to "reflect" on the situation outlined by Aliylian <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200710171754/https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sraluj</ref>. He stated that the exchanges did happen and did not deny it, but dismissed the allegations as her "finding" their conversation offensive. His response was largely panned by the community for not only not being an actual apology, but for attempting to distract from the allegations levied against him by constantly bringing up the contributions he had made in the past. DJ Nintendo was indefinitely banned from NYC tournaments in response to these allegations.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200704020715/https://twitter.com/RyobeatPeach/status/1279234396910993408</ref> | |||
