Legend has it that Nintendo sent a cease and desist to Charlie, and he let them off with a warning

My man Allan really tried to drop a Mick Gordon on us and failed miserably

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.

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

Listening to 41 minutes of drama while I play risk of rain 2 is the best Wednesday night.

0:43 Charlie reports on drama so quickly he knows what it will be before it happens

"Huge Drama Finale" could be anything based on how many storylines he is following

charlie is like the god in a fictional show that appears and watches over everyone, basically a human narrator of the world

Charlie is so dedicated to his KZfaq channel that he stepped away from his legendary acting career to provide us with all the new drama

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.

The drama cannot be stopped. It's self-sustaining now.

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.

Oh Charlie, you know you’ll never be able to leave drama. Once you get sucked in, there’s always going to be more to report on.

I like how it all quickly turned from who cancelled the event to what kind of guy Alan is.

Until someone's dead or in jail, the drama is NEVER over.

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

My god this drama went on longer than I expected

Anyone else watch him because its entertaining despite not knowing what the hell is going on? I just like listening to him talk.

We need a drama tier list by the end of this year considering of the amount of drama that happened

Allan looked at mick Gordon, Said “I can do that!” and then fell face first and cracked his reputation to pieces

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.

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

This has been a roller coaster of events, I can’t wait to see what drama Nintendo will get into next year.

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.

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.

cant wait for "huge drama finale 2"

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

I have never been so emotionally involved in something I have zero investment in. Keep up the great work!

Dr. Alan is a legit physician and I would hate to be one of his patients with how horribly he provides backup for his claims!!!

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.

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.

Seeing a new upload of fresh drama from Charlie always puts a smile on my face

Hey Charlie! The year is about to end and we would love a compilation of the 2022 drama and if possible, add a tier list. Thank you.

As a member of the Smash community, it's really sad to see all this infighting between orgs, we all suffer for this. :(

This drama has been almost as intense as a fight in Godslap

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.

You know you're on the wrong side of the argument when Technicals is defending your 31 page victim blaming document. LOL

I think it is safe to say that this is not the finale. I am predicting that this is going to last at a minimum a week longer.

I love that everytime I get on KZfaq, Charlie has posted like "5/10 minutes ago". His storytelling skills really show this man can do it all.

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

It's the best feeling rewatching videos, then reloading and finding another broadcast from the man himself

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

I’m in the hospital after getting a huge surgery, your videos are so calming. Thanks Charlie!

Alan picking Ken as a target who turns out to be christ himself is genuienly hilarious

When it’s a 41 minute Charlie video you know we eating good

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.

Someday, I wish to be a good at analogies, similes and metaphors as Charlie is.

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

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!

Drama is like the Halloween franchise, it will never end.

charlie covers so much drama he's now psychically predicting what's gonna happen

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.

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.

Critikal is the modern day Oracle of Delphi. He can predict the future, world leaders should be consulting His Moistness

I think you are very good at summarizing the situation. Much easier to understand it with these videos than with twitter/reddit threads

Alan hit us with his 31-page, 32 minute long Final Smash, and it whiffed..

looking forward to hearing about the next drama finale

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

You know it’s good when Charlie uploads a 41 minute video.

If I had a nickel for every time there was huge drama on Smash Ultimates anniversary, I'd have two nickels.

been watching for a while, gotta say the room is looking snazzy and dare i say well organized

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

Its insane how much drama you can get from a game where you can beat up a plumber with a comically large ape

Time flies especially with internet drama

Alan and Mick Gordon are officially arch-nemesis of responses to drama.

hoo boy, this was a crazy lore drop. 31 pages, man! Saw it earlier but I wanted to wait til you made a video.

Charlie and Mogul Mail literally out here carrying the gaming media news

someone commented one of the last videos that Charlie blinks a lot and now I can't unsee it lol

Charlie always has the most informative titles

The real drama was the friends we made along the way

Glad to see the drama finally Wrapping up

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.

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.

The drama is never over, Charlie. There will always be a season 2.

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

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.

bro said hearsay so many times he startin to look like amber turds lawyer

You gotta make this series a playlist

I love listening to these while working night shift for holiday season at my retail job xD

41 minutes of drama, lemme just get the popcorn 🍿 ready 😹😹

listening to allen and ken have a fight after the barbie movie released really takes on a whole new meaning

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 KZfaq subs. Might wanna reconsider that bud.

How Crazy that this Smash Drama video is 41 minutes. At this point, Charile has now become a Drama Channel.

Can’t believe the drama has reached its end

this confirms it: Panda CEO is legally insane

A long Smash Drama video from Charile, while I'm eating some good old Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Charlies voice took the biggest hit during this drama

I saw the crooked godslap cover art behind Charlie and now I'm unable to take my eyes off of it.

The bass boost setting is on in my car and every time Charlie hit the desk it rattled my mirror😂

Holy shit Charlie, I fucking love your dedication my man. So many videos a day and I’m here for 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!

I’m worried Nintendo is going to come out and say due to this mess we don’t want any hand in it or for anything further, so no more Melee tournaments.

Thank you for covering such an important topic, I grew up watching the smash scene & I hope its glory days are yet to come.

40 minute charlie drama video is just what i needed

"31 pages, 32 minute read." Has me rolling on the ground rn. That is Shakespearean poetry right there 😂

"WHY WONT YOU WORK WITH ME"- ALAN "cant take NO for an anwser"

"Boys, we- we done made a big 'ol shitstain on these britches." He has such a way with words

This drama gives me heartburn
