Controversial Matches in Super Smash Bros.

In case anyone is confused why these matches were seen as controversial:

ChuDat vs Leffen - Shine 2017

ChuDat beat Leffen 3-2, however was forced to replay the set because Universal Controller Fix (20XX mod that fixes controller discrepancies, so that any controller is on par with a "good" controller) was disabled. Leffen ended up winning this time 3-2, which of course sparked controversy in the community, TOs faced backlash for not making sure UCF was enabled prior to the set. People were also mad that Leffen technically won 5-5 and was given 10 games to adapt. As if there wasn’t enough salt in the wound, UCF ended up not returning at Shine 2018 since it was a Nintendo sponsored event.

GENESIS - Pink Shinobi vs RockCrock

This match is cited as the reason Kongo Jungle 64 is banned from tournaments. Peach and Jigglypuff were found to be very powerful on the stage due to the layout allowing easy circle camping, and this match is a key example of that, as Ganondorf could do very little to contest it.

GENESIS 4 - Komorikiri vs CaptainZack

The set they played was confirmed to be on 0.9x knockback the whole time. Originally, they were going to replay the entire set on 1.0x knockback, however ended up replaying only the last game due to time constraints because this would have meant Dabuz and ZeRo (the previous set) should have to be replayed as well since it was also on 0.9x. Similarly to the Shine 2017 set, people were angry at the TOs for not checking the settings beforehand. To this day, we do not know how the knockback was changed to 0.9x or who changed it.

Tacna 2014 - Superboomfan vs Gerson

This match is a prime example of why Hyrule Castle is no longer a legal stage and why 8 min timer is now the standard for Smash 64 tournaments (not a feature in the actual game, has to be modded in). It is thought that Boom's play was a method to demonstrate the flaws of Hyrule Castle to the Peruvian community.

EGLX 2018 - Plup vs Hungrybox

The event was ending so doors were being opened, but Melee grand finals still needed to happen. Because it was the middle of Winter in Toronto, this made it so the venue was very cold which greatly affected the players. This set displays why warm venues are crucial for players, and many viewers felt that it also gave an unfair advantage to Hungrybox since Plup was playing Fox who requires more tech skill than Jigglypuff. EGLX ended up apologizing on twitter https://twitter.com/eglxofficial/status/972980014701572097?lang=en

EVO 2018 - CaptainZack vs Lima

Before the set started, much of the audience left not wanting to view the grand finals. This set was very controversial, especially seen by how many dislikes the video has on YouTube (5,232 dislikes vs 1,568 likes as of right now). The reason for this is because it was Smash 4's last year at EVO, but viewers felt Lima and Zack treated it like a joke, and felt that the FGC would view Smash 4 as a joke. The homie stock, stalling for 2 minutes, laughing throughout the set greatly contrasts with the previous EVO grand finals where the players took it much more seriously. Japanese players in particular reportedly viewed it as very disrespectful https://twitter.com/perepereden/status/1025980712984301569
On the other hand, people said that because of the harshness of the community and the way it treats Zack and Lima, it was completely deserved.

Winterfest - Mew2King vs Gnes

This match played a big role in the banning of scrooging (stalling under the stage with MK's glide) as there is very little that can be done to challenge it and Meta Knight can time out easily this way.
