I noticed that while the wiki has information on the history of individual characters and tier lists, it doesn't have any article on the competitive scene as a whole. In an effort to increase the wiki's coverage of the competitive scene, I propose creating an article called "History of the competitive Smash scene" that covers in detail the major events and phenomena of Smash's competitive scene from Smash 64's release up to today. We already have an article called [[History of the Midwest Smash Scene]] (that hasn't been updated in over seven years). Some ideas I have include: covering things such as the nature of tournaments, major tournaments hosted (such as [[MLG]], {{b|Apex|tournament series}} or [[Revival of Melee]], metagame changes, dominant players at the time, big events (such as the creation of [[Smashboards]], release of the [[SSBPD]] and the [[MLG DC 2010|MLG bracket splitting incident]], and more "broader" types of events, such as ''Melee''{{'}}'s decline after ''Brawl'' was released, the advancement of technology used at tournaments, or [[Project M]]'s rapid increase in popularity. There could be more types of things there as well. However, it would be difficult to organize this properly, determine what gets included, and find information to include (especially before ''Brawl''), and the page would likely be extremely large. The article could be divided by game, or into "time periods" (such as The "First Golden Age of ''Melee''", etc.). Please give me your suggestions below.
