A '''professional''' gamer, commonly shortened to '''pro''', is a person who plays a fighting game at a very high level of skill. In general, professionals regularly make money off of playing the game in [[tournament]]s and/or one who is recruited and sponsored by a notable organization, such as [[MLG]]. Due to MLG and other major gaming corporations not sponsoring ''Smash Bros.'' players anymore, a professional is also commonly considered the person at the top of the [[metagame]] of that said character, such as {{Sm|Hax}} for {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} or {{Sm|Axe}} for {{SSBM|Pikachu}}. | |||
==Other types of professionals== | |||
===Semi-professional=== | |||
A '''semi-professional''', or a '''semi-pro''', is a player with above-average skill who can rank high in local tournaments but lacks the overall prowess to win regionals. | |||
===Top professional=== | |||
A '''top professional''' is a player who is among the very best from his country and/or for their respective [[main]] character. Notable examples include {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Anti}}, and {{Sm|Ally}} for ''[[Brawl]]'', {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, and {{Sm|Armada}} for ''[[Melee]]'', and {{Sm|Isai}}, {{Sm|SuperBoomFan}}, and {{Sm|Jousuke}} for ''[[Smash 64]]''. These players consistently place high at [[national tournament]]s and is likely that a top professional would win these kinds of tournements. | |||
