A '''professional''' [[smash]]er, commonly shortened to '''pro''', is a person who plays a ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' game at a very high level of skill. In general, professionals regularly make money off of playing the game in [[tournament]]s and/or is recruited and sponsored by a notable organization, such as [[Major League Gaming]] or [[Cloud9]]. A professional is also commonly considered the person at the top of the [[metagame]] of that said character, such as {{Sm|Armada}} for {{SSBM|Peach}} 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 and win money in local tournaments, but lacks the overall prowess to place well at regionals and nationals. | |||
===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]]'', Mew2King, {{Sm|Mango}}, and Armada for ''[[Melee]]'', and {{Sm|Isai}}, {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}, and {{Sm|Jousuke}} for ''[[Smash 64]]''. These players consistently place high at any tournament, and have the potential to win [[national tournament]]s. | |||
