A '''smasher''' refers to a dedicated player of any [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] game, though the term came into regular use in competitive ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''. Although even casual Smash Bros. players can be considered smashers, the term is mostly used in the [[community|smash community]] when talking about competitive players and [[professionals]], especially those who compete in local or regional [[tournament|tournaments]]. | |||

==Competitive scene== | |||
Many smashers have earned recognition by participating in (or hosting) unofficial [[tournament|tournaments]], mainly for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''. These tournaments have allowed smashers around the world to connect with others and make a name for themselves in the [[community|Smash community]], as well as test their skills and possibly earn prizes. | |||
The competitive community expanded to gain national recognition over the course of its golden age from 2003 right up to the 2008 release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. Fuelled by unprecedented enthusiasm from players around the world, the game earned a position in the [[Major League Gaming]] roster of events and thousands of dollars were awarded to top players at both MLG-sanctioned tournaments, as well as other tournaments organized by local community [[Tournament Director|figureheads]]. | |||
