| '''The Big House Online''' was a canceled ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' online tournament planned to be held from December 4th-6th, 2020. Due to the [[2019-20 COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive play|COVID-19 pandemic]], which canceled The Big House 10, it was then switched into an online tournament and rescheduled into December, rather than October as with all previous The Big House tournaments.

| On November 19th, 2020, the organizers announced that Nintendo of America had sent a cease and desist letter to them due to the use of [[Project Slippi]] for the ''Melee'' event.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/TheBigHouseSSB/status/1329521081577857036?s=20|title=Nintendo C&D}}</ref> As a result, the organizers were forced to cancel both events. This resulted in outrage within the community, with many players complaining about how the C&D was unwarranted, as Slippi is unaffiliated with Nintendo and is perfectly legal. Within an hour, the tag #FreeMelee became trending on Twitter. A response claiming to be from Nintendo was later released stating that ROMs were required to use Slippi which are obtained illegally through pirating. In addition, they initially reached out to the team asking them to stop, but the team refused.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/pshanley88/status/1329544558288400384|title=Nintendo's statement}}</ref>
