The necessity of unofficial tools to play the older ''Smash'' games online resulted in renewed friction between the community and Nintendo, the latter of which openly disapproves of the use of any mods. This came to a head with the [[cancellation of The Big House Online]], the planned online replacement to The Big House 10, in November of 2020, after Nintendo ordered a cease-and-desist of the tournament due to its planned use of Project Slippi for the ''Melee'' tournament.
