{{cleanup|This article does not reflect the correct definition of a crew for notability within the smash community.}}
:''This article is about crews in general. For information on the smasher, see [[Smasher:Crew]].''


A '''crew''' is a group of smashers who play ''[[Smash Bros.]]'' together as an official group, and often enter tournaments together. A crew can be of any size, though a crew of only two players is generally considered to be a team instead.
A '''crew''' is a group of people who usually live in the same area, and who all play [[Smash]] together. There is no set number of people required to comprise a crew. Some crews are more active than others, but there are basically three functions of a crew: Competing, Coaching, and Hosting. Many crews do all three of these while primarily focusing on one aspect more than the others.


The purpose of a crew varies depending on the crew's own goals; in general, however, crews can allow smashers to form a sense of camaraderie in a region, and players in a crew often train with one another for [[tournament]]s. Crews can also allow for players to room with one another for tournaments, or transport each other to such events. Rivalries can also develop between crews, owing to regional differences, or a desire to simply be considered the stronger group, such as with [[machinima]].
===Competing===
Generally speaking, most of the Smash crews are originally formed solely for the purpose of competing in tournaments together as well as [[crew battle]]s. These crews also travel all over to compete, often having to rely on each other for housing, food, and other expenses. Also, winning a tournament while in a crew generally makes your entire crew look good, effectively increasing the entire group's popularity in the Smash community, regardless of the gap between individual player's skills. Another reason playing competitively in a crew rather than by yourself is beneficial is that it's possible to make [[combo video]]s for your entire crew, which can be useful in creating multiple videos without a large amount of footage per individual players.


Crews should not be confused with [[sponsor]]s. A crew is an unofficial group that supports players within its ranks; a sponsor, however, provides goods and services to players in order to represent them at events.
===Coaching===
While not as common as competitive crews, some crews come together in order to increase the general skill of players in their community (or in the crew itself) as opposed to simply playing to win. While tournaments are generally used to help in this, many things such as written character guides and tutorial videos are created by these groups as well. This is considered the middle ground between the competitive side and hosting sides of a crew, because it normally requires a combination of both.
