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 is recruited and sponsored by a notable organization, such as [[MLG]]. 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 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}}, Mew2King, and Armada for ''[[Melee]]'', and {{Sm|Isai}}, {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}, and {{Sm|Jousuke}} for ''[[Smash 64]]''. These players consistently place high and win at [[national tournament]]s.
