i couldn't find a lot of definitive answers on where his inspiration came from, and the few resources i had were conflicting, so i just went with the most common answer i could find,, i'll pin your comment as a correction and i'll keep from spreading the same misconception in the future !
With this game, there's so much potential! You can see that the designers had a story in mind, a world to build! They were trying something here, but dissapointing sales and a lack of content at launch killed it. Hope they can expand on these characters one day, a tv show would be cool! Something like Sonic Boom, hopefully.
yea i would definitely love to see more expansion on this, the comic that was supposed to come out was actually intended to do that, but it was cancelled (probably also because of declining sales / interest)
@@xephrou Sucks honestly, especially after seeing that Arms has one of the most diehard communities I've ever seen. People all around the world love Arms, even if it's a small community. At this point, I would love if Nintendo even just mentioned Arms. I started jumping when the game randomly got an update on 2022, it was a sign Nintendo still remembers it. If we ever get a sequel, I'll die happy.
@@nathanielrainford888 You failed basic statistics and economics, didn't you? MK8 is a freaking juggernaut franchise with over 10 games under it belt. It also literally got the biggest face in gaming slapped on top of it. It's also a game enjoyed by casuals, it wouldn't be anywhere near 60M if it was exclusively the sweaty hardcore proplayers buying it. Meanwhile ARMS is a brand new IP that doesn't piggybacks off of featuring Mr. Videogames himself, and lacks any kind of legacy/old game as it isn't a franchise. It's a fighting game, which by default means that it WILL sell waaaay less than other videogames, as most people stay away from the genre, specially casual players (the biggest chunk of the market). And despite all of this it still sold nearly 3M copies, which is insanely good for a brand new IP in the fighting genre. Legends like SF have been around for longer and have a pre-established fanbase and legacy, and 3M copies is around what SFV sold iirc. ARMS was nowhere near a failure or "underselling", unless if you're some delusional that thinks a new IP needs to dethrone Tetris and Minecraft in copies sold or otherwise it's a failure.
*Immediately dives head first into this video like the ARMS scavenger I am and starts FEASTING* (THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO IMMEDIATELY SUBBING YOUR ART AND VIDEO PRESENTATION ARE SO LOVELY)
I only bought this game last year because I thought the characters looked hot asf 💀 I PRAY Nintendo makes a sequel and does this franchise justice 😭😭😭😭😭
It would be cool if in a future ARMS 2 there is a mode where you fight yourself(or an ai based on the fighters' fights of the whole world). This would prove the fact that the arms league spy on the players and it would be cool, it sure is a way to test your skills
I truly regret selling this back in like 2020 when it became irrelevant. The thing is, I truly enjoyed my time with it. I got it in Spring 2018, 4 months after I got my Switch in Christmas 2017, which still works PERFECTLY after over 5 years of heavy usage, (except the original Joycons those things have been drifting for years) and the online was still really active. I even took part in some Party Crashes and got some of those extremely sought after character badges. I even unlocked every single Plus arm. I was juggling between this and Splatoon 2 during my teen years. (14-15) Now I'm 19, playing Splatoon 3. People seem to forget that the whole reason Min Min is in smash is because she won the final Party crash bash. I wish I could tell my 16 year old self to not sell this... Only now do I realize how much love went into this one off project. The music is incredibly underrated, and there's so many secrets about the game's world. Thank God my save data from then is preserved through my Switch online cloud. How is this game almost 6 years old and is considered nostalgic now!? I can just feel this game achieving cult status like Earthbound and prices skyrocketing years from now when the Switch becomes retro. Time flies man.
I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE MENTIONED THE FINAL PARTY CRASH THING because i was on team ninjara and wanted him to win so badly and when i found out min min was gonna be the arms rep for smash i got so upset that i hadn't logged on more for the final round because i'm pretty sure with how much i played i could have singlehandedly changed the outcome 💀
I got the Switch in Oct of 2017, and ARMS was one of the first games I got for it. I love ARMS and the ides and gameplay behind it. And as much as I wish/hope for an ARMS 2, I don't think ARMS made enough money for Nintendo to make another game. Master Mummy is the character I use the most, the "big strong brute" is hands down one of my favorite character types. And Dr.Coyle's theme is probably my favorite theme. I love the "You're in danger" / "You shouldn't be here" sound from it.
Very good video. Definitely a game that is tailor made for an iceberg format. Something I just realized, the comic had the one panel of who I assume is a regular civilian woman with no intentions to compete in the League awakening to her arms ability when they were explaining how it worked. Makes me wonder how folks that have the ability but don't take part in the tournament live like. A few of the playable characters do indeed have careers already, so I figure it's not that bad of a situation as long as you get a mask.
yea like that was one of my main points to talk about both how the league accommodates regular people (just based off what's in the game) and i really wish they would have explored it a little more or in the comic's case, have gone through and have been able to explore it,, i can imagine it would be tricky to have the ability but not be a fighter, like the same thing you can get money and praise for can be a nuisance in everyday life, that kind of thing
I hope this game gets a sequel. Even though the game did well and people are still playing it and im still playing it as well. I wish it got a sequel we are in 2023
@xephrou we still hope for the game because it does have potential for another sequel. Just how splatoon one got popular and got third sequel. Arms can do it to
WOOHOO WE GOT ANOTHER ONE BOYS but it's totally worth it trust me.. online is a smidge dead but there is still some players! i'm happy you liked the video ^_^
When the switch came out this was the only game I liked back in the day, to this day I am still not able to afford a switch to this day but videos like this scratch my itch for games lore lol
I had a rose themed oc that was similar to twintelle in personality but more dramatic and graceful in movements and style Her unique weapons where a large rose mitten with thorn ropes. Hitting people gave a poisoned effect. And the secondary arm was a water canon. Similar to minmins dragon arm just shot water blasts instead that wet a characters arms similar to them being electrocuted. Third arm is a arm that fires three exploding seed bullets Unique skill is sheilding plants a seed that sprouts a flower that will shoot an arm out at you if close. Can only sprout one plant at a time. Her involvement in the story was getting her flower shop and land more attention attention which she thinks will help her make the world more beautiful
OMG THAT'S SO WEIRD i have a rose themed oc and he owns a flower shop :3c i never did really develop him all that far to be honest, but i do have another oc that's water themed and i worked on him a lot more cuz he was more fun to me
@@xephrou Lmao the arms team should look into characters and getting fans involved with stories... Can def help build the fan base and fit the fighters all over the world but working with the fans and constantly adding in characters keeping it all active. They stopped supporting the game way too soon Ppl come up with fun characters a water based one sounds sick!!
I ACTUALLY FIGURED THIS OUT TOO LATE AFTER I UPLOADED THIS but i think biff is in every end card in some way shape or form so i'm not sure if his being there has any bearing on the story (minus misango's because he's acknowledged in the description); i also started thinking biff might be an alien, because there's a line somewhere asking the potential roots of the arms gene and it says something like "documents back so long ago even say aliens might be responsible" and there's that medieval looking picture with something that looks like biff in it
@@xephrou Omg maybe biff is an alien and his race is responsible for the entire arms phenomenon which probably explains why he doesn't look like a person or animal
25:31 this might be a bit of a stretch but the 2 people with the arms ability look confused while the one that looks like biff is calm and looks like his explaining the arms ability to them. Also on a separate note the record on the top left kinda looks like it has helix arms i think that maybe researchers found some ancient DNA and and tried to clone it and thats what helix is. Just a theory tho 🤔🤔
i really love the amount of effort present in this video, you can tell even from a short clip how long this took. keep it up, your vids are amazing and i hope more people can discover this channel eventually 💕
Ever since the switch came out this was the one title I kept going back to simply because the music was so infectiously good, love the gameplay too but always felt it needed a stronger substance, like the subspace emissary treatment smash brawl got
ty for talking about this game, it's criminally underrated unfortunately. There are also some pages from the unreleased ARMS comic that may contain some more interesting information (its such a shame we never got it)
OH I KNOW... like i remember the anticipation i had for the comic because the writers were told they had basically free reign on deepening the lore and working with the backgrounds of the characters and i was so excited to learn more about everyone because i love these characters like my children almost... i do know that some copies of the first issue were given out for free comic book day at some point, there is a full scan of it available but it's only like eight pages? so it doesn't look like this was the full first issue and there's probably a lot more of it that was actually completed that we'll never get to see,,, it's interesting stuff, that's why i decided to save it for a separate video ^_^
This video was really cool! I’ll definitely have to check this one out when I can cause now I’m quite interested. I found your channel through the furby video and I gotta say the quality of your videos are amazing! They keep me engaged the whole way through!! As a video suggestion maybe you can do a video about Epic Mickey, it’s a game for the wii created in 2010 that is about a place where cartoon characters go when they are forgotten to time, (there is more to the story but that would kinda spoil the plot ) this game has very interesting lore/storyline and how it got screwed over by Disney when making the second game only giving them 2 years to make the second game before canning the series. Anyway I love your videos and you earned a new sub! :D
OMG FRR!!! it’s such an underrated game and I wish it got more love! I had the second game on my ps3 and then got the first game when I got the Wii. I gave up when I got to mean street though ;-; but I picked the game back up a year ago and I got hooked! I have several sketchbooks for fan art :,D
When I found out this game had lore and you could unlock it throughout gameplay after acquiring buttons and stuff I was so in depth I would contact my friend about all the new lore panels. We played it together we made our own OCS on how they got their arms and we were stoked that there were rumors of an arms graphic novels on the winds (Thaaat sadly got cancled rip) suffice to say we were ARMS deep in the series. I really hope that within the year of 2025 when the new Switch console is revealed that arms will have a Resurgence and it will truly have its proper time to shine and I'll be there to devour all the tasty lore just like I did playing day one with my close friend again hearing that signature opening. "Ooooooooooh ooooooooh ohoh oooooooohoooooh~~" ❤😊🎶
I want a soldier base character that has barb wire for arms. Helmet including. Where is he from? He could be US, which is a no-brainer. He could be British or German. A fun idea is that he is Swedish.
Huh, how interesting. After leaving this comment about the soldier's idea, I have been really thinking that he should be British. Why? WWI Helmet. An American one isn't too hard to figure out. But it is a very common type of character to see. But British it be more interesting. What do you think?
i remember seeing many times, it looks vary fun with how each fighter didn't only look interesting (by using different string ish things for stretchering arms) but also how they fight, heck after i saw Min Min and Twintel showing they still can use more then thar arms, i made up a fighter that was 2 ghosts and a person, the ghosts were the arms (with the stretchy part being Proton Pack beams from Ghost Busters) and a parson that was independent to the ghosts attacking. Even gave them a backstory were 2 ghosts wanted to join the ARMS leag but they need a main body to join, so they found a random person walking by, made a deal and that's it. if your intrested, i can find an old sketch of em if you wanna see
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE you can email it to me if you want!! i had a similar concept for an arms oc that i never actually ended up drawing that was an alien in a girl's backpack with the arms and she would just tote him around lol
I absolutely adore ARMS! It has so much stylistic charm. The lively music, the artwork, the creative premise, the diverse cast of characters, the lore, etc. They have a solid framework here with so much potential. It would be a huge waste not to make a sequel that fixes the issues people had with the first. Add more content and give players more reason to want to play it. Make it happen, Nintendo!
being in love with this game is so hard cuz it's like getting attached to a horse you know is about to be sent away to turn into glue.... the most neglected nintendo series to date methinks
I just got arms 2 days ago and god its, so good!! Honestly the reason i got it is because of kid cobra… he just is so cool (all of them are incredibly well designed too, but hes just my fav) the game is super charming and the characters alone can just make you a fan
@@xephrou YES arms has so much potential, and its just a waste to see them go to the bin. My only hope is that they have a sequel for the next gen Nintendo console!
@@MakiMakoz THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING FOR!!! with a new console, the chance for a new arms game is higher than it's ever been. i don't see that 1-2 switch would get a new game and not arms, cuz 1-2 switch sold like hot garbage compared to arms... they literally had to give 1-2 switch away in packages with the switch like be for real
@@xephrou yeah! And with splatoon the sequel splat 2, was released on the switch so what i think it’ll follow the same trend with 2 and 3 being in the same gen(assuming arms 2 will sell way more, then it’ll just be per new generation) also if they made a mobile game it would gave it a big boost of popularity, like have a freemium version of a game with no risk! (e.g. Mario kart tour, anch pocket camp, and Pokémon go)
the part of me with too much hope says yes.. i'm sure they'll want a game that uses the motion controls for the launch of the switch 2 whenever that is, and i don't think they wanna come up with something entirely new to do it (also 1-2 switch got a sequel this far into the switch's lifespan, and idk anyone who willingly bought that game ,,, so hopefully arms will have a similar situation happen with it)
So... I created somewhat of an OC for this game. Name: [CLASSIFIED] Basically, the Labs wanted to see if they could artificially give someone the gene. It worked... but at the cost of basically making [CLASSIFIED] into half human/half liquid.
How you play them: Basically, play it like it's Splatoon. [CLASSIFIED] constantly drips liquid every 10 seconds (don't think about that for too long), and being in that liquid gives [CLASSIFIED] a huge speed boost temporarily.
that is probably one of the things that makes me the most angry like.. the attention to detail with the other smash characters (sora and steve are two that come to mind in particular) was off the walls insane but nintendo couldn't extend that same care to an ip they literally own... i've never really said this out loud but my best guess is that min min in smash was a last ditch effort to save arms but the fact that they went into it half-heartedly basically set it up for failure and that is an atrocity against me that i can never forgive from nintendo
The one problem I have with your Kid Cobra theory and the reason I think it get debunked is that the arms gene isn't stated to or implied that it gives animals like snakes legs with the arms gene and even if the arms gene can develope in animals which I don't think is possible given the fact that it's never addressed or implied so again even if the gene can manifest in animal like snakes it doesn't give them legs nor do I think it would give them arms I think the ability would just make their body the coil instead of giving them arms.
Correction I found out that the arms gene does in fact affect all organic life, buy I still don't think that it would give kid cobra arms and legs. That was my bad sorry.
@@xephrou I gt it and yeah online is pretty dead, still a fun game tho! If you want we can play sometime or idk, just if you're comfortable with that ofc
The Min-Min reveal trailer for Smash isn't lore inaccurate. It's Min-Min's "origin story" so to speak. This would explain why she has regular non-spiraled eyes, green hair, and regular arms from the start, why she wasn't in her usual outfit at the Mintendo Noodle house, despite having multiple pieces of official artwork where she is, and why at the end of the trailer she does have the Ramen-human arms and hair while eating the ramen with Kirby. It would also make very little sense for her to be working while a fight involving all of the current competitors in the ARMS grand prix is raging just across town. She would have been at spring stadium with the rest of them if she was already a fighter. And aside from Mechanica, who doesn't have the Arms ability, the other competitors always wear their masks, even outside of battle. That's also why the Arms DLC additions aren't present in the fight. They hadn't canonically joined the grand prix yet. Min-Min would have been the last fighter in the base roster to join.
that's actually a really good observation ! i think the one thing that would still throw me about it is that it's detailed that your arms manifest overnight rather than suddenly when you're in the middle of something, but i do also think this can be excused by whoever worked on the trailer just wanting a cool origin story type vibe to it !! i never thought of it that way
I love the game but for me the only down side is that the game has not yet add new skins to unlock new characters arenas ETC I've had this game for several years now way before the pandemic when is this game gonna do update
i remember playing this game back in the day. the community was always super tight. we'd always have community tournaments hosted by guys like Schkrimps and CriticCat, neither of which still stream as per my knowledge. despite how small the fanbase was, it was very healthy, and the game even made it to Evo. it's just a shame how nintendo handled it.
Misango was NOT based on the Mayans. He was based on the Olmec indigenous tribe

OMG FRR!!! it’s such an underrated game and I wish it got more love! I had the second game on my ps3 and then got the first game when I got the Wii. I gave up when I got to mean street though ;-; but I picked the game back up a year ago and I got hooked! I have several sketchbooks for fan art :,D
@@T0YDoesStuff i actually never finished it either lol
"Biff might be a god worshiped by the misangans" - Yep, seems about right.
When I found out this game had lore and you could unlock it throughout gameplay after acquiring buttons and stuff I was so in depth I would contact my friend about all the new lore panels. We played it together we made our own OCS on how they got their arms and we were stoked that there were rumors of an arms graphic novels on the winds (Thaaat sadly got cancled rip) suffice to say we were ARMS deep in the series. I really hope that within the year of 2025 when the new Switch console is revealed that arms will have a Resurgence and it will truly have its proper time to shine and I'll be there to devour all the tasty lore just like I did playing day one with my close friend again hearing that signature opening. "Ooooooooooh ooooooooh ohoh oooooooohoooooh~~" ❤😊🎶
I literally just got into this game i dont own it yet but its being delivered soon so im excited! I love ARMS!
I wish the comic actually came out. Would’ve helped flesh out so much of the world.
yayyy!!!!! i love arms ^_^ i wish it was still getting updates
me too!! the updates for it were always so hype honestly like they did twitter posts beforehand and made it all mysterious lol
I want a soldier base character that has barb wire for arms. Helmet including. Where is he from? He could be US, which is a no-brainer. He could be British or German. A fun idea is that he is Swedish.
OMG THAT'S ACTUALLY SO COOL.. BUT IT'S FUNNY one of my ocs for the game is swedish he's like. a little sailor man with water arms :3
Huh, how interesting. After leaving this comment about the soldier's idea, I have been really thinking that he should be British. Why? WWI Helmet. An American one isn't too hard to figure out. But it is a very common type of character to see. But British it be more interesting. What do you think?
i recently started playing arms again, i forgot how awesome it is...
i remember seeing many times, it looks vary fun with how each fighter didn't only look interesting (by using different string ish things for stretchering arms) but also how they fight, heck after i saw Min Min and Twintel showing they still can use more then thar arms, i made up a fighter that was 2 ghosts and a person, the ghosts were the arms (with the stretchy part being Proton Pack beams from Ghost Busters) and a parson that was independent to the ghosts attacking. Even gave them a backstory were 2 ghosts wanted to join the ARMS leag but they need a main body to join, so they found a random person walking by, made a deal and that's it.
if your intrested, i can find an old sketch of em if you wanna see
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE you can email it to me if you want!! i had a similar concept for an arms oc that i never actually ended up drawing that was an alien in a girl's backpack with the arms and she would just tote him around lol
ah cool, when i find it i'll email it to you, your email is in your about area right?
@@xephrou
One of my fav games.. currently number 1
This video is AMAZING! Well researched and love the art :DDDDD
THANK YOU 💕💕
I been waiting for a video like this
I absolutely adore ARMS! It has so much stylistic charm. The lively music, the artwork, the creative premise, the diverse cast of characters, the lore, etc. They have a solid framework here with so much potential. It would be a huge waste not to make a sequel that fixes the issues people had with the first. Add more content and give players more reason to want to play it. Make it happen, Nintendo!
being in love with this game is so hard cuz it's like getting attached to a horse you know is about to be sent away to turn into glue.... the most neglected nintendo series to date methinks
MECHANICAS FIFTEEN? WOW IMAGINE BEING 15 AND GETTING RKO'D BY MAX BRASS OR MASTER MUMMY GETTING KO'D BY HER
scariest character in arms, yea
Nice video
thankyou!! ^_^
first.. also your channel should b way bigger
thank you ^_^ 💖
*I FREAKING LOVE ARMS*
I love arms
I just got arms 2 days ago and god its, so good!! Honestly the reason i got it is because of kid cobra… he just is so cool (all of them are incredibly well designed too, but hes just my fav) the game is super charming and the characters alone can just make you a fan
KID COBRA IS SO AWESOME yea these characters are all my beloveds i wish nintendo would forfeit their rights over them to me so i can treat them better
@@xephrou YES arms has so much potential, and its just a waste to see them go to the bin. My only hope is that they have a sequel for the next gen Nintendo console!
@@MakiMakoz THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING FOR!!! with a new console, the chance for a new arms game is higher than it's ever been. i don't see that 1-2 switch would get a new game and not arms, cuz 1-2 switch sold like hot garbage compared to arms... they literally had to give 1-2 switch away in packages with the switch like be for real
@@xephrou yeah! And with splatoon the sequel splat 2, was released on the switch so what i think it’ll follow the same trend with 2 and 3 being in the same gen(assuming arms 2 will sell way more, then it’ll just be per new generation) also if they made a mobile game it would gave it a big boost of popularity, like have a freemium version of a game with no risk! (e.g. Mario kart tour, anch pocket camp, and Pokémon go)
@@MakiMakoz i need to make another arms video so bad. the one i'm working on rn mentions it a little bit but i need more
do you think there will be a arms 2?
the part of me with too much hope says yes.. i'm sure they'll want a game that uses the motion controls for the launch of the switch 2 whenever that is, and i don't think they wanna come up with something entirely new to do it (also 1-2 switch got a sequel this far into the switch's lifespan, and idk anyone who willingly bought that game ,,, so hopefully arms will have a similar situation happen with it)
Hopefully they'll announce ARMS2 for the next console 🤞🏿
Great video
So... I created somewhat of an OC for this game.
Name: [CLASSIFIED]
Basically, the Labs wanted to see if they could artificially give someone the gene. It worked... but at the cost of basically making [CLASSIFIED] into half human/half liquid.
How you play them: Basically, play it like it's Splatoon. [CLASSIFIED] constantly drips liquid every 10 seconds (don't think about that for too long), and being in that liquid gives [CLASSIFIED] a huge speed boost temporarily.
It's funny how once you know the lore, Min Min's Smash reveal makes no sense.
that is probably one of the things that makes me the most angry like.. the attention to detail with the other smash characters (sora and steve are two that come to mind in particular) was off the walls insane but nintendo couldn't extend that same care to an ip they literally own... i've never really said this out loud but my best guess is that min min in smash was a last ditch effort to save arms but the fact that they went into it half-heartedly basically set it up for failure and that is an atrocity against me that i can never forgive from nintendo
The one problem I have with your Kid Cobra theory and the reason I think it get debunked is that the arms gene isn't stated to or implied that it gives animals like snakes legs with the arms gene and even if the arms gene can develope in animals which I don't think is possible given the fact that it's never addressed or implied so again even if the gene can manifest in animal like snakes it doesn't give them legs nor do I think it would give them arms I think the ability would just make their body the coil instead of giving them arms.
Correction I found out that the arms gene does in fact affect all organic life, buy I still don't think that it would give kid cobra arms and legs. That was my bad sorry.
How could we get nintendo to make a sequel
travel to headquarters and stand outside and beg
I am about to order the game lol. I love the vibe of it.
it's so good omg the online is kinda dead but honestly the story mode and additional challenge-y stuff is worth it
@@xephrou I played the demo a few days back and really liked it, I was just sad not being able to play kid cobra (he's my favorite)
@@xephrou I gt it and yeah online is pretty dead, still a fun game tho! If you want we can play sometime or idk, just if you're comfortable with that ofc
i love this game
i do too!! it's very underrated tbh
The Min-Min reveal trailer for Smash isn't lore inaccurate. It's Min-Min's "origin story" so to speak.
This would explain why she has regular non-spiraled eyes, green hair, and regular arms from the start, why she wasn't in her usual outfit at the Mintendo Noodle house, despite having multiple pieces of official artwork where she is, and why at the end of the trailer she does have the Ramen-human arms and hair while eating the ramen with Kirby.
It would also make very little sense for her to be working while a fight involving all of the current competitors in the ARMS grand prix is raging just across town. She would have been at spring stadium with the rest of them if she was already a fighter. And aside from Mechanica, who doesn't have the Arms ability, the other competitors always wear their masks, even outside of battle.
That's also why the Arms DLC additions aren't present in the fight. They hadn't canonically joined the grand prix yet. Min-Min would have been the last fighter in the base roster to join.
that's actually a really good observation ! i think the one thing that would still throw me about it is that it's detailed that your arms manifest overnight rather than suddenly when you're in the middle of something, but i do also think this can be excused by whoever worked on the trailer just wanting a cool origin story type vibe to it !! i never thought of it that way
@@xephrouyay, support from John Arms ^w^
dotn fuck with us arms fans thers like 4 of us
we're like. 4 people all stacked up disguised in a trenchcoat
I love the game but for me the only down side is that the game has not yet add new skins to unlock new characters arenas ETC
I've had this game for several years now way before the pandemic
when is this game gonna do update
unfortunately there won't be any more updates, i think the last update brought the game up to 15 characters / stages,,
Arms + manga
3:56 me and my brother did
hey wait... dont you follow me on tumblr?
@@worm-lungs if you make furby content probably
@@Bee8467 thats kinda cool
@@worm-lungs yeah
wii sports boxing ran so arms could uhh, do something i guess
arms historically the bridesmaid never the bride
i remember playing this game back in the day. the community was always super tight. we'd always have community tournaments hosted by guys like Schkrimps and CriticCat, neither of which still stream as per my knowledge. despite how small the fanbase was, it was very healthy, and the game even made it to Evo. it's just a shame how nintendo handled it.
