 Shortly after the announcement, organizers behind {{Trn|GENESIS X}} and {{Trn|Battle of BC 6}} announced they would continue as scheduled,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/genesis_smash/status/1716875076262592532|title=GENESIS on X|publisher=Twitter|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231025192123/https://twitter.com/genesis_smash/status/1716875076262592532|archivedate=October 25, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/battleofbc/status/1717662395512873367|title=Battle of BC 6's announcement|publisher=Twitter|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231104190211/https://twitter.com/battleofbc/status/1717662395512873367|archivedate=November 4, 2023}}</ref> while organizers behind the {{Trn|Umebura|series}} and {{Trn|Sumabato|series}} series announced that they had secured licenses for their events, with Sumabato head {{Sm|Nojinko}} notably announcing that he had secured licenses for the next ten Sumabato events within a day of the guidelines releasing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/UMBRHP/status/1717778634327699961|title=Umebura announces their license|publisher=Twitter|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231027084046/https://twitter.com/UMBRHP/status/1717778634327699961|archivedate=October 27, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/nojinko_ike/status/1717198138266763528|title=Nojinko's announcement|publisher=Twitter|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20231028010713/https://twitter.com/nojinko_ike/status/1717198138266763528|archivedate=October 28, 2023}}</ref> In addition, the release of the licensing form accompanying the guidelines assuaged fears from the ''Melee'' community that Nintendo was disallowing them from playing the game. Despite neither version of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' being eligible for a license per the guidelines, there has been little to no response from the community in regards to it, continuing the post-''Ultimate'' disinterest in the game from players and spectators alike.
-With competitive play being largely unchanged since the guideline's release, fear and uncertainty on them have since dissipated. However, a few events were nonetheless affected. Most notably, due to the rule on using modified copies of Nintendo games, ''Melee''{{'}}s online competitive play, which used the modded client [[Project Slippi]], was effectively shut down, with {{Sm|Hungrybox}} discontinuing {{Trn|The Coinbox}} series for ''Melee''. In addition, a few tournaments, including {{Trn|NRW Cup - Rise of Germany}}, had to unban {{SSBU|Steve}} due to the license.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/NRWCup/status/1766500372099580174|title=NRW Cup unbans Steve due to Nintendo license}}</ref>

Due to the rule on using modified copies of Nintendo games, ''Melee''{{'}}s online competitive play, which used the modded client [[Project Slippi]], lost their largest online tournament series after {{Sm|Hungrybox}} discontinued {{Trn|The Coinbox}} series for ''Melee'', although the online ''Melee'' scene itself still remained active. In addition, a few tournaments, including {{Trn|NRW Cup - Rise of Germany}}, had to unban {{SSBU|Steve}} due to the license,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/NRWCup/status/1766500372099580174|title=NRW Cup unbans Steve due to Nintendo license}}</ref> although some events were able to circumvent the guidelines by not publicly announcing the ban, such as {{Trn|Patchwork 2024}}. Finally, the guidelines led to the name change of several tournament series that used some form of "Super Smash Bros." in its title, including Super Smash Con becoming {{Trn|Supernova}} and Smash Factor becoming {{Trn|S Factor}}.
 Currently, it is unknown if these guidelines will be applied to Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, mainland China or other Asian countries outside of Japan. It is also unknown whether these guidelines apply to countries in the Americas other than the United States, Canada and Mexico, to African countries besides South Africa, or to countries in the Middle East and North Africa region.
