| A '''professional''' gamer is one who regularly makes money off of the game 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 usually 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}}.

| | |
| "Professional" may also refer to the player's skill level, where a player has reached the proficiency threshold necessary to be able to consistently rank high in tournaments where he/she is pinned against other players deemed "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|Salem}} and {{Sm|Mew2King}} for ''[[Brawl]]'', {{Sm|Mango}} and {{Sm|Armada}} for ''[[Melee]]'', {{Sm|Isai}} and {{Sm|SuperBoomFan}} for ''[[Smash 64]]''. These players consistently place high at nationals.
