Another major example is the [[cancellation of The Big House Online]]. Before the tournament could begin, Nintendo wrote a cease-and-desist letter to the venue, forcing the event to be shut down. The reason given was that the online aspect forced the ''Melee'' bracket to resort to emulators like [[Dolphin]] and [[Project Slippi]], which Nintendo openly disapproves of. This spawned #FreeMelee, and later #SaveSmash, to trend across the internet with enough traction to be picked up by famous influencers and news outlets. It even bled over into other communities, with a notable example being the finals of an official ''Splatoon'' tournament livestream being canceled likely due to several members having nametags that reference the movement in some way. This caused most of the teams to simply walk out and join a fan-made tournament, canceling the official finals. | Another major example is the [[cancellation of The Big House Online]].

In October 2023, Nintendo released the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]], a series of guidelines placing restriction on small, non-profit tournaments run without a formal license. The announcement resulted in controversy in the community, with many accusing Nintendo for continuing to exert unnecessary control over the tournament scene. Some points of contention included the ban on unofficial accessories, inhibiting those with disabilities that use modified or custom controllers to play the game; the inability to provide attendees with comestible items; and the attendance cap of 200. The guidelines also developed many defenders, particularly those who saw it as setting standards that many other game companies had done for their competitive titles years prior, or merely as Nintendo filling up holes in their intellectual property protection.
