In case you haven't noticed, the Super Smash Bros. franchise has a rather large following of "competitive gamers". Amidst all of the 'items vs. no items', 'scrub vs. pro', and 'tiers vs. tiersR4queers' arguments, the term gets thrown around quite a bunch and can sometimes lose its true meaning. In
t!mmy's blog, "
SMASHED! - A Guide for Competitive Gamers", the idea of what exactly it means to be a competitive gamer, as well as what steps
