Reggie Fils-Aimé: Difference between revisions
Undid edit by Ethan7: I assume he meant "for glory-style rules", like the "Glorious Smash" of Smash Run and Smash Tour. it's not that confusing.
(→In the Super Smash Bros. series: This may be confusing. He couldn't have meant this.) |

At 2014's [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational]], which was held to commemorate the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Fils-Aimé made a guest appearance at the end of the event to present a trophy to the winner of the tournament.

Invitational]], which was held to commemorate the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Fils-Aimé made a guest appearance at the end of the event to present a trophy to the winner of the tournament. In his speech at the end of the tournament, second-place finisher {{Sm|Hungrybox}} famously challenged Fils-Aimé to a "For Glory" match; Fils-Aimé said that although he "sucks at Smash," he would come back later and "kick [Hungrybox's] ass." This has since become an internet meme in the Smash community, and his speech has caused many to speculate that Nintendo would host more Smash tournament events in the future. Fils-Aimé did indeed play a match against Hungrybox at the {{s|wikipedia|Nintendo World Championships}} 2015 a year later, playing the newly released {{SSB4|Ryu}} against Hungrybox's {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}, and lost by a large margin. | ||
At EVO 2014, before the singles Top 8 began, Nintendo released a video in which Fils-Aimé congratulated the remaining players and wished them good luck through the rest of the tournament, thanking the Smash community for its continued support of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. He also encouraged players to play the upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' games, adding "I might show up to challenge you someday, and if we ever do get to go head to head, please: no [[John]]s." The video was widely praised for showing Nintendo's support of EVO 2014 and the competitive Smash community, unlike at [[EVO 2013]], when Nintendo notoriously attempted to shut down the streaming of the ''Melee'' portion of the event. Fils-Aimé was also praised for using the phrase "no Johns", a term primarily used in the competitive community. | At EVO 2014, before the singles Top 8 began, Nintendo released a video in which Fils-Aimé congratulated the remaining players and wished them good luck through the rest of the tournament, thanking the Smash community for its continued support of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.
