Tournament:OHN7: Difference between revisions

The Sydney Smash Community has historically had a patchy relationship with Ozhadou. Both OHN5 and OHN6 languished in both organiser support and turnout for SSBM. Criticism drawn from the Smash community included the rejection of the event due to high entry fees with no returns. However, a dedicated effort was made to pledge support for the event in the hopes of a more formalised arrangement for future years. A rejection from Ozhadou administration to provide monetary concessions to the Smash Community did not steer the Tournament Organiser for pushing for a Major event in Sydney. After concession negotations failed, tournament information was pinned up regardless, and received much interest - mostly due to exciting new formats and the delivery a large event for New South Wales.

Public reception for ‘Don’t Come’ was resoundingly positive, with the tournament strongly tipped to be the most favoured event of 2008. Shaya's unplanned hosting of SSB64 drew heavy criticism and offensive attacks from foreign Smashers, which had only highlighted the tensions of bringing two separate (Brawl and Melee) communtities together.
