Listening to Charlie go in depth about drama in a community I have no investment in feels like listening to a grade school kid tell me about playground gossip, I love it.
mick gordon dropped w fucking nothingburger he owned up to just not finishing the work he was contracted for and didnt and doesnt care hes stirring up drama to deflect from the fact hes been promoting and is tied to atomic heart which its coming out is a cluster fuck and all the media promotion for it is a lie hes trying to use bethesda as a punching bag given people instinctively always side against them to hopefully avoid people noticing hes been pushing a botched game since he got done not finishing doom eternals sound work and probably didnt finish it because he was already working on atomic heart trailer stuff and stuff for the game hes already admitted half the shit hes now claiming the opposite of love micks work but fuck him
The difference is Mick took the abuse on the chin preparing for counterattack, with all the receipts involved. Allan in his own testimony painted himself as vindictive and stubborn man, peppering his own 'truth' statement with a lot of speculation and accusation.
there's also the difference of mick being actually screwed over by bethesda and fighting back to regain respect in his career while Alan himself shutting down SWT is pretty much speculation that dragged his name through the mud, i think alan catering to nintendo is bad but he definitely doesnt want SWT shutdown, that aside he did said he will leave the smash community entirely which might be related to the doxxing and harrasment so folks at the end of the day the big company is always at fault fuck them
the second i heard “31 pages” i immediately got out of my bed and did my whole night routine. I had to be fully ready before i watched the rest bc wtf LMAO
I was honestly hoping it was to do with the chess bit. I wanted to hear that they had found the buttplug and a video of him blowing all over his keyboard while testing it
He got sucked in and it never ends. He thinks it’s over, but tomorrow will have new drama that he’ll find irresistible to react to. He has tasted the great nectar of drama, and he will forever be unsatisfied
The way Alans final piece is pretty much "I'm the victim in all this" kind of proves how self important and ego driven he is, which would back up the claims that he acts like he runs the whole scene and thinks he rules over everyone.
i like charlie but thats a bad take imo, narrators usually dont inject their opinions or have personality, but then again i dont usually consume media where the narrator is talking most of the time. lets just appreciate the florida man jesus for who he is lol
It really sounds like Alan thought of everything as a big competition and concocted this entire conspiracy in his head that everyone wanted to rule the tourney space like he seemingly wanted to.
Thats called projection... In reality he wanted to insert himself into grass-roots community and take it over to eventually have monopoly over it and be the only contact and agent for events and such. Look at FIFA in soccer, he basically wanted to build his own "FIFA for smash"...
World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Football, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Sewey, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), it's time to play football (Uh, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), it's time to play football (Uh, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh, uh)
Something about Charlie’s whole demeanor is so relaxing. I’m prone to anxiety attacks often but watching his videos literally help me more than my own medicine. Thanks for that man
Honestly I have always been fascinated with the skill and time it takes for someone to play smash well and it's disappointing that Nintendo and Alan fucked up the event
honestly that makes sense, im not big into the super smash bros torny scenes but I have seen many very talented clips from the tornys before this one,I think it really draws out how critically you have to think in a timed event like that.
as a former competitor, you basically become so good at scenarios after playing them over and over again vs specific characters that may or may not transfer over that your thinking is much less than you'd expect. You become so accustomed to a scenario that you simply do whats best than think about it. But it requires a ton of reviewing, theorizing and learning that can be fun. Also a lot of creativity. In the end you get players doing things like Light, MKLeo and Sparg0 like gods because they believe or know it will work.
It’s wild how this year has had big drama situations back to back to back like this. Also this reply really feels like more of a season finale more than a series finale I’m sure there’ll be like a few more updates in the future but thank you anyway for covering this again.
I think their pokemon next game is either going to straight up crash the switch or they are going to sue people for complaining about bugs in their games
It’s honestly a shame that any modern Nintendo Company related news nowadays is now pretty much a spit on the face to the fans or the people who consider themselves involved with the company. While the games are mostly good, from what we seen from nintendo just seems pretty unfair to not only the fans not just the people who create these events as well.
Nintendo just doesn't want to make smash e-sport, it's perfectly their right to do so, people just need to accept it and move on instead of trying to make it happen and victimize themselves for something they knew Nintendo had no intention to do, it was known for the last 15 years that it was never their intention, but yet people keep driving their car into a wall expecting somehow the car not to crash this time.
Can't believe you all didn't immediately point out how fast Alan expected all the drama to be because of competition between circuits. Really shows where his head is at.
Even if Alans claims about Ken were true, with the whole community backing up Ken as being this professionally and generally nice person to be arround, it's looking more like Alan must have tried to pull of some outrageous shit to get that reaction out of Ken.
Idk ken or Alan but from what I've heard through critical I'm willing to bet money on that. Alan seems like such a manipulative piece of shit it would be par for the course if he went out of his way to piss off ken just to fabricate a villain.
Charlie's way of explaining things is amazing. He never stutters, and his way of giving similes and kind of metaphors gives me english teacher vibes, and he just makes everything so clear and easy to understand I have a feeling he was good at english class in high school lmao

As frustrating as this drama is, it's infinitely more upsetting to find out people are trying to dox and potentially swat, bomb, or kill and entire family over a fucking videogame tournament that didn't directly affect them in any way, shape, or form.
really doubt any of that actually happened. sure it was mostly people trying to figure out his last name since he made everyone refer to him as "doctor alan."
No. This is an *extremely* common deflection technique that's used to garner sympathy, and in this case is a very transparent attempt at doing exactly that. There's a reason he brings it up as soon as he does and phrases it in the absolute worst way he can. It's all to get the exact reaction you're giving him now. Am I saying he's lying? Maybe not, but there has been confirmed cases of people falsifying stuff like this before. Alan might be telling the truth in this case, but it's not something that should make him a victim of the smash community suddenly. A few individuals does not speak for an entire video game community.
Had Allan responded as soon as he was called out instead of cowering behind his PR team, he could’ve saved the company (somewhat); he instead chose to take his sweet time making a post that had little to no evidence to prove his innocence.
Thank you for bringing all of the evidence and posts together in one format. The thing that I think got a lot of people was how Nintendo and Panda both said, “Well we absolutely did not tell SWT that they needed to cancel their tournament” when it’s SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS for anybody with the ability to read that they were, in fact, suggesting that they were canceling it. “We’re not granting you a license and you know how we feel about unlicensed commercial events using Nintendo IPs” Like sure, the decision to cancel the tournament was entirely on SWT, but Nintendo was 100% going to slap them with a Big House moment which would be way worse. I think the original statement they provided even said something like that. That they thought about just going ahead with the tournament but that they didn’t want a bunch of people to book flights and hotels and then get the rug pulled under them at the very last minute.
So one of three things will happen 1 - Nintendo stands with the community after seeing everyone's passion 2 - Nintendo stays out of the scene and everything stay as it was before this whole drama 3 - Nintendo starts shutting down every unlicensed event and the Apocalipse begins We all know option 1 won't happen, so we gotta pray for option 2
This whole thing feels like Allan hates Ken because he couldn’t get under his skin. Ken disagreed with Allan’s vision, (A vision that REALLY feels like something the fire nation would say) and that was the end of it. Ken didn’t budge even with all of Allan’s threats. This guy is a snake through and through, and Ken is St Patrick.
World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Football, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh), World Cup (Sewey, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), it's time to play football (Uh, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), it's time to play football (Uh, uh, uh) World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh, uh), World Cup (Uh, uh, uh)
Yknow how much easier it would be if these people who get caught in these allegations, if they just say “yep sorry I screwed up, here’s what I’m doing to fix this for the next time” would be so much better
What I love is that there's a pretty good chance that Alan will see this. Especially a lot of E sports channels refer Charlie as the voice of the people. Speaking to Alan directly. As Charlie voices his arguments is a total flex.
charlie’s titles are genius in terms of marketing, i click the video because i’m curious of what drama it is this time, and end up staying wether its something i care about or not because it’s always entertaining
@@Cubance well, it’s not a misleading title, so i agree it’s kinda a form of clickbait, but not rly malicious or misleading so it’s hard to say it’s rly true clickbait
As a fire marshal the “health and safety” issue could be related to their fire inspection. Depending on the occupant load an inspection most likely was done and if they don’t meet fire code standards they won’t be given a fire clearance due to life safety issues.
DOCTOR Alan is a wonderful human being. He goes to soup kitchens, fosters homeless children, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and he advocates for EVERY Smash Tournament to have equal representation with Nintendo! And the fact that Alan has just named me Executive VP of his new venture Red Panda International and the head of the brand new "Red Panda Mario Party World Tour" has NOTHING to do with it.
Man there are so many things happening constantly, this is crazy! Like one after the other but your content is not wavering in quality. Absolutely brilliant!
Given Nintendo's history of shutting down fan-created projects, in my opinion, their silence and lack of a concrete statement on the matter is damning.
Ken Hotbid Chen has been a pillar in multiple communities i was lucky to be a small part of. During my sc2 years Ken was an integral part of the community and was the one to introduce me to the smash scene (im sure along with many others) when he posted the Smash Doc on the Team Liquid forums when it dropped all those years ago. I pray im able to be healthy enough again one day to follow the example Ken has set in multiple communities that I care deeply about and be able to contribute and give back to the communities that have given me so much.
Gambit: a device, action, or opening remark, typically one entailing a degree of risk, that is calculated to gain an advantage. You mean exactly what Alan was trying to do by monopolizing Smash and Threatening his competition with cancellation? My man Alan really took a week and 31 pages to write an argument that essentially boils down to "No U" This is IMAX levels of psychological projection
I think you are missing that this highlights the intent by almost any company involved to change priorities and probably destroy the community in search of profit. The ONLY reason he talks about the different orgs as "competition" is because he treated them as "potential rivals" in the sector. When everything was grass-roots it was fine, but this kind of thing is going to be much more common-place.
At this point following this series of events, of which I only know of because of Charlie, I can’t help but have the Super Smash Bros. Melee theme song playing in the back of my mind while listening to this video.
Marss is the only Panda smasher who’s announced he’s staying with them (for god knows what reason) and he’s the only one who’s lost TH-cam subs. Might wanna reconsider that bud.
Re: the whole "taking notes during a conversation" thing... I mostly agree, but feel this is different. Ken wasn't JUST taking notes, he was doing so by actively communicating with other people via Slack, months before this drama took place. Thi isn't him on Notepad, this is him telling his boss/co-workers "this is what I'm dealing with on this call." Of course it's totally okay, even good, to be skeptical even here. But it's worth keeping in mind.
i hope Nintendo sees this as a good thing in that it shows them the real community knows how to see bad faith actors, and that they actually care about the scene and the game as opposed to just money like Alan is only clearly interested in.
Fighting games have some of the best orgs in the Esports community, like the reason this failed so terribly for Alan is because he’s the only one treating the organization’s influence in the FGC as a competition. To everyone else, the FGC is all connected and supportive of the entire community as a whole, including the orgs, if one org in smash bros fails, than a different org in guilty gear would also be affected in some way, and if a good org is threatened, the entire community could come to aid them. Alan treats the community like everyone is against each other, but everyone is just against him, because he’s actively harming the community, and he needs to be removed. Average FGC W
Just as a side note, after the way the smash community treated hbox, I'm glad you covered this because I literally find anything the smash community says VERY HARD to believe.
I still cannot believe Alan is trying to play the victim in all this. My dude has the entire Smash community saying he's a toxic man-child and he still acts like he's the one being wronged.
Listening to Charlie go in depth about drama in a community I have no investment in feels like listening to a grade school kid tell me about playground gossip, I love it.

His whole statement feels like projection and its kinda sad.
he did this in between playing hours upon hours of LoL
Alan projecting his ideals on everyone. But not everyone is as shallow as he is 🤷
Thats called projection... In reality he wanted to insert himself into grass-roots community and take it over to eventually have monopoly over it and be the only contact and agent for events and such.
Look at FIFA in soccer, he basically wanted to build his own "FIFA for smash"...
Basically Alan was projecting his own greed to monopolize and make the Smash community less community friendly and more corporate.

Thank you for bringing all of the evidence and posts together in one format.
The thing that I think got a lot of people was how Nintendo and Panda both said, “Well we absolutely did not tell SWT that they needed to cancel their tournament” when it’s SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS for anybody with the ability to read that they were, in fact, suggesting that they were canceling it.
“We’re not granting you a license and you know how we feel about unlicensed commercial events using Nintendo IPs”
Like sure, the decision to cancel the tournament was entirely on SWT, but Nintendo was 100% going to slap them with a Big House moment which would be way worse.
I think the original statement they provided even said something like that. That they thought about just going ahead with the tournament but that they didn’t want a bunch of people to book flights and hotels and then get the rug pulled under them at the very last minute.

So one of three things will happen

3 - Nintendo starts shutting down every unlicensed event and the Apocalipse begins
We all know option 1 won't happen, so we gotta pray for option 2

Ken disagreed with Allan’s vision, (A vision that REALLY feels like something the fire nation would say) and that was the end of it. Ken didn’t budge even with all of Allan’s threats. This guy is a snake through and through, and Ken is St Patrick.
Charles is the best news station, always updating us on these stories, he truly is putting his time on the line to prove these random things

PENGUINZ0 IS BAD MY CONTENT IS BETTER
Bro what are these bots smoking 💀
@@Intuitive-idiot need some of that, they’re lit
Someday, I wish to be a good at analogies, similes and metaphors as Charlie is.
Damn, I was really hoping this was gonna be about the chess drama from a few weeks ago, feels like we never got a proper conclusion
@msmeggacha7701 Twelve year olds aren't allowed on here kiddo, shove off.
Charlie 3 minutes in: okay I’m just gonna say one last thing and we’ll dive in to the story.
Me: *already completely fucking drenched in the story*
Grinding Pokémon and listening to Charlie videos for 40 minutes is bliss
I’m not the only one? I’m finishing my living dex in PLA before I move on to Scarlet and Violet, and Charlie has been great background noise.
I literally just got off Pokemon White after this video ended, I thought I was the only one!
I’ve been writing a fantasy book while listening to Charlie just to pass the time. As long as his voice is in the background I could do anything lol
charlie covers so much drama he's now psychically predicting what's gonna happen
@MSMEG IX no its not
@@FazeCocomelon its a troll dont reply they kept spamming over the comment section
Yknow how much easier it would be if these people who get caught in these allegations, if they just say “yep sorry I screwed up, here’s what I’m doing to fix this for the next time” would be so much better
Charlie and Mogul Mail literally out here carrying the gaming media news
@MSMEG IX u have no content 💀
What I love is that there's a pretty good chance that Alan will see this. Especially a lot of E sports channels refer Charlie as the voice of the people. Speaking to Alan directly. As Charlie voices his arguments is a total flex.
charlie’s titles are genius in terms of marketing, i click the video because i’m curious of what drama it is this time, and end up staying wether its something i care about or not because it’s always entertaining
It's just plain ol clickbait 😛
@@Cubance well, it’s not a misleading title, so i agree it’s kinda a form of clickbait, but not rly malicious or misleading so it’s hard to say it’s rly true clickbait
Its insane how much drama you can get from a game where you can beat up a plumber with a comically large ape
Critikal is the modern day Oracle of Delphi. He can predict the future, world leaders should be consulting His Moistness
@MSMEG IX silence bot
The real drama was the friends we made along the way
The drama was inside us all along
Honestly I personally hope the drama doesn't end yet. Still so many questions remain unanswered, plus work these days are on the slow side.
As a fire marshal the “health and safety” issue could be related to their fire inspection. Depending on the occupant load an inspection most likely was done and if they don’t meet fire code standards they won’t be given a fire clearance due to life safety issues.
When it’s a 41 minute Charlie video you know we eating good
I’m on break and clicked it thinking it was a short video, didn’t realize it was this long lol
Going to eat dinner and watch this
Watch your mouth niɡɡer.
We Gettin that munchy goodnesses with this 41 minute video
Meats back on the menu boys!
The drama is never over, Charlie. There will always be a season 2.
PENGUINZ0 IS BAD MY CONTENT IS BETTER
You know it’s good when Charlie uploads a 41 minute video.
@I-ABUSE-ANIMALS-LMFAO ok iwont
PENGUINZ0 IS BAD MY CONTENT IS BETTER
You know it’s good when Charlie just uploads
DOCTOR Alan is a wonderful human being.
He goes to soup kitchens, fosters homeless children, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and he advocates for EVERY Smash Tournament to have equal representation with Nintendo!
And the fact that Alan has just named me Executive VP of his new venture Red Panda International and the head of the brand new "Red Panda Mario Party World Tour" has NOTHING to do with it.
You know you're on the wrong side of the argument when Technicals is defending your 31 page victim blaming document. LOL
Man there are so many things happening constantly, this is crazy! Like one after the other but your content is not wavering in quality. Absolutely brilliant!
Watch your mouth niɡɡer.
@I LOVE ᴀʙᴜsɪɴɢ ANIMALS because i make good ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛ how does youtube allow this crap but not someone Cory or jack playing a game like bruh
Drama is like the Halloween franchise, it will never end.
Halloween Ends II: The Final End
Can't wait for the true ending, the extra stage, the epilogue/victory lap, and the new game plus before trying a higher base difficulty setting!
Alan hit us with his 31-page, 32 minute long Final Smash, and it whiffed..
Given Nintendo's history of shutting down fan-created projects, in my opinion, their silence and lack of a concrete statement on the matter is damning.
Ken Hotbid Chen has been a pillar in multiple communities i was lucky to be a small part of. During my sc2 years Ken was an integral part of the community and was the one to introduce me to the smash scene (im sure along with many others) when he posted the Smash Doc on the Team Liquid forums when it dropped all those years ago. I pray im able to be healthy enough again one day to follow the example Ken has set in multiple communities that I care deeply about and be able to contribute and give back to the communities that have given me so much.
+1 on the SC2 community. Loved it back then...
Alan picking Ken as a target who turns out to be christ himself is genuienly hilarious
Time flies especially with internet drama
someone commented one of the last videos that Charlie blinks a lot and now I can't unsee it lol
Gambit: a device, action, or opening remark, typically one entailing a degree of risk, that is calculated to gain an advantage.
You mean exactly what Alan was trying to do by monopolizing Smash and Threatening his competition with cancellation? My man Alan really took a week and 31 pages to write an argument that essentially boils down to "No U"
This is IMAX levels of psychological projection
If I had a nickel for every time there was huge drama on Smash Ultimates anniversary, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
You gotta make this series a playlist
bro said hearsay so many times he startin to look like amber turds lawyer
listening to allen and ken have a fight after the barbie movie released really takes on a whole new meaning
I think you are missing that this highlights the intent by almost any company involved to change priorities and probably destroy the community in search of profit.
The ONLY reason he talks about the different orgs as "competition" is because he treated them as "potential rivals" in the sector.
When everything was grass-roots it was fine, but this kind of thing is going to be much more common-place.
I love listening to these while working night shift for holiday season at my retail job xD
Same~ xD
Charlie always has the most informative titles
At this point following this series of events, of which I only know of because of Charlie, I can’t help but have the Super Smash Bros. Melee theme song playing in the back of my mind while listening to this video.
Watching this video, I just realized that Bethesda never gave their side of the story with Mick Gordon
Marss is the only Panda smasher who’s announced he’s staying with them (for god knows what reason) and he’s the only one who’s lost TH-cam subs.
Might wanna reconsider that bud.
Re: the whole "taking notes during a conversation" thing...
I mostly agree, but feel this is different. Ken wasn't JUST taking notes, he was doing so by actively communicating with other people via Slack, months before this drama took place. Thi isn't him on Notepad, this is him telling his boss/co-workers "this is what I'm dealing with on this call."
Of course it's totally okay, even good, to be skeptical even here. But it's worth keeping in mind.
I think you misunderstood Charlie. he was talking about Alan taking notes, not Ken's screenshots. he even directly said that in the video.
Alan and Mick Gordon are officially arch-nemesis of responses to drama.
lol Allan posted that screenshot of Ken's convo like "THIS WILL MAKE KEN LOOK SOOO BAD" when the screenshot is just Ken being the nicest guy lol
17:00 it’s called projecting, he’s assuming they wanted and had the same goals he did.
Love how everyone knows what hearsay is now because of the johnny depp trial
Glad to see the drama finally Wrapping up
Have you ever heard of Super mario Bros z
Charlies voice took the biggest hit during this drama
i hope Nintendo sees this as a good thing in that it shows them the real community knows how to see bad faith actors, and that they actually care about the scene and the game as opposed to just money like Alan is only clearly interested in.
The word "Heresy" lowkey gave me flashbacks. Starting to think Johnny Depps case gave me ptsd
40 minute episode? That really is a season finale special.
Fighting games have some of the best orgs in the Esports community, like the reason this failed so terribly for Alan is because he’s the only one treating the organization’s influence in the FGC as a competition. To everyone else, the FGC is all connected and supportive of the entire community as a whole, including the orgs, if one org in smash bros fails, than a different org in guilty gear would also be affected in some way, and if a good org is threatened, the entire community could come to aid them. Alan treats the community like everyone is against each other, but everyone is just against him, because he’s actively harming the community, and he needs to be removed.
Average FGC W
Alan tried to slap us all down with his facts and receipts but the collective power of the internet slapped him back with actual proof.
Just as a side note, after the way the smash community treated hbox, I'm glad you covered this because I literally find anything the smash community says VERY HARD to believe.
I still cannot believe Alan is trying to play the victim in all this. My dude has the entire Smash community saying he's a toxic man-child and he still acts like he's the one being wronged.
Charlie is the modern day Oracle. How many legends will he send to their doom?
