[[OHN7]] (also known as ‘Don’t Come’), was held in Sydney’s UTS, on the 7th and 8th of December 2008. The East-Coast Australian Major was a hard-pressed partnership with the Ozhadou organisation, a dedicated entity for competitive fighting games. The merge came as a decisive sign of solidarity made by the Melbourne Smasher, [[CAOTIC]]. | [[OHN7]] (also known as ‘Don’t Come’), was held in Sydney’s UTS, on the 7th and 8th of December 2008.

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. | The Sydney Smash Community has historically had a patchy relationship with Ozhadou.

'''Atticus (Melbourne Smasher)''' - ''"I really liked the crew format used in the tournaments - it was mad fun and I'd love to see more of it in the future. Having the audience hype behind more matches than just the finals makes it more thrilling, and the bit of added strategy is interesting too. Casual setups of other games on the table near the bracket laptop was also good - MBAC, AoSX, DKR, SSB64, whatever. I love Smash but 10 hours straight is heavy and it's nice to play some other games when you need a break but can't leave cause you might be called for a match."'' | '''Atticus (Melbourne Smasher)''' - ''"I really liked the crew format used in the tournaments - it was mad fun and I'd love to see more of it in the future.
