wow melee got side stage but smash 4 got main.

Melee definitely isn't currently hurting for visibility since its a self sustaining community. Combo Breaker weekend is also up against a Smash only tournament in the same quad-state region. Since Smash 4 is being treated as an off-shoot of the Smash community by and large I figured the new players joining the scene would benefit more from Main Stage than Melee this go round. New Melee players stick around regardless, but I've already seen new Smash 4 players come and go based on the community response to the game.

Always the possibility that Smash attendance as a whole will force the issue and I'll need to grant them their own stage, but we'll see how it goes.
