(→Super Smash Bros. Melee: Added Hax controversy. Rest of the melee tournament needs to still be added. Really tried to find the facebook poll to get numbers but either it's deleted or it's in Spanish. I know it exists as many comments on twitter mentioned it and criticized it. Also for the record here just in case someone adds to the Hax controversy, this tournament still counts for rankings as the new rule for tournaments with banned players not counting for rankings isn't retroactive.) |
