On November 26th, a [https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srg2ka TwitLonger] was published by [https://twitter.com/hanukkahjambore HanukkahJamboree], an ''ARMS'' tournament organizer, expressing the ''ARMS'' community's solidarity with ''Melee'' and ''Project M''. The TwitLonger explained how Nintendo, similarly to ''Smash'', has hardly supported the competitive ''ARMS'' community in any meaningful way. The TwitLonger also goes in detail explaining how Nintendo's official events have been lackluster with not enforcing lag restrictions, offering negligible prizes, offering non-functional consoles, and rules that did not align with the will of the community. This was well received by the competitive ''Smash'' community with many notable community members expressing their support. | On November 26th, a [https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srg2ka TwitLonger] was published by [https://twitter.com/hanukkahjambore HanukkahJamboree], an ''{{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS}}'' tournament organizer, expressing the ''ARMS'' community's solidarity with ''Melee'' and ''Project M''.

On December 5th, Nintendo announced that they had cancelled their livestream of the finals of ''{{iw|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'' North American Open December 2020. While it was only stated to have been done due to "unexpected executional challenges," Slimy, a ''Splatoon 2'' tournament organizer, had confirmed that it was caused by 30% of teams being registered having names in support of ''Melee'' and the ''Smash'' community<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SlimyQuagsire/status/1335354735885479938/photo/2|title=Team names}}</ref> due to Nintendo's actions against The Big House Online. Following this, the Discord server for the event was spammed by many members of the community in wake of the stream's cancellation. This led to many members of the competitive ''Smash'' community to begin supporting the ''Splatoon 2'' scene in thanks for their solidarity. Many people with large followings outside of the competitive scenes also took notice and began posting tweets criticizing the actions of Nintendo. | On December 5th, Nintendo announced that they had cancelled their livestream of the finals of ''{{iw|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'' North American Open December 2020.
