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 you can take to becoming a better one, are explored very thoroughly. If you plan on ever attending a tournament in any gaming community, or if you simply want to do better than you currently are, be sure to give this one a read.
