Did you even read my post? I literally acknowledged that playing Melee on Dolphin doesn't require an illegal copy of the game here: "What's dumbest of all is that, these pro players already have their own copies of the game. And ROM dumping is legal. " What did you think I was suggesting here, if not that Melee on Dolphin can be perfectly legal?

Or are you saying that, because perfectly legal sources exist to play Melee legally on an emulator, that MUST be the process that The Big House was using? Because clearly, that wasn't the case, it's basically the entire reason the event was shut down. What, are you going to argue that, you know something Nintendo doesn't? The company that actually shut down the event? 

No one even said Slippi was a Melee mod (or at least I didn't), just that it was a scapegoat for The Big House. Which ... it was. 

You can call people shills but the fact is that I'm not really against piracy against old games; in other words my stance is very different from Nintendo's. I'm not inherently pro-corporation or anything. It's just that, you can't expect trademark violations, or doing something as dumb as what The Big House did, not to be noticed. 

Pretty much, most people here have a different stance to Nintendo the only difference is that they acknowledge why Nintendo has their particular stance even if it's not what they'd prefer.
