'''Smasher''' is a slang term that refers to a dedicated member of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' [[community]]. The term came into regular use in the early 2000s with the rise of competitive ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and has stuck as a part of the vernacular between ''Smash'' players. While the term can be applied to any individual that associates with the community, a ''Smasher'' is most often used to describe competitive players and [[professionals]], especially those who compete in local, regional, or online [[tournament]]s. | '''Smasher''' is a slang term that refers to a dedicated member of the ''Super Smash Bros.''

Many smashers have earned recognition by participating in (or hosting) tournaments, mostly grassroots events unaffiliated with [[Nintendo]]. These tournaments have allowed smashers around the world to connect with others and make a name for themselves in the ''Smash'' community, as well as test their skills and possibly earn prizes. | Many smashers have earned recognition by participating in (or hosting) tournaments, mostly grassroots events unaffiliated with [[Nintendo]].
