party game confirmed
I think what really sells me on this girl is her competitive attitude. Spunk for days and gorgeous. Very marketable. This is Nintendo's chance to sweep the competitive fanbase completely under the rug like they've always wanted to and put her front and center.
Someone should introduce her to Melee.
I'm disappointed in all the people trying to talk down her skill by saying shit like "they weren't pros though" "Smash is a button masher with no skill" "If a kid can beat an adult that means that the adult sucks of the game takes no skill".
Please, before making these comments either watch some of the videos or know a thing or two about Smash. Yeah, it's not the most complex competitive game out there but if you are better at the game than someone else you will body them (unless items are on then there is some luck involved sometimes). It's not "mashy" as if you mash you'll end up pretty much stuck in one place doing attacks that wont hit and giving your opponent the chance to get easy hits and throws on you.
She's legit good. Get over it.
Sorry and not to derail but calling a little girl "gorgeous" is all kinds of creepy.
"Greetings, Smashfighter! You have been Recruited by the Smash League to to defend the Nintendo frontier against Master Hand and the Subspace Armada!"
Sorry and not to derail but calling a little girl "gorgeous" is all kinds of creepy. Back on topic good for her I hope she didn't/doesn't get too much hate from "real gamers".
Yeah no it's not.
And this is a cool story but it's not that amazing. She's 10 not 5.
I really hope they didnt scare her away from the fgc. Hope to see her at a tournament.
!Best story in a long while. I hope she owns everyone in this game.
"I'm 76 pounds of Smash domination" :lol the taunts, I can't. A couple WebMs with audio:

The skill ceiling in smash bros is pretty low. this isn't surprising at all.
Uh, no?Sorry and not to derail but calling a little girl "gorgeous" is all kinds of creepy.
Why should she get "hate" from anyone, exactly? In what fictional world do you live?Back on topic good for her I hope she didn't/doesn't get too much hate from "real gamers".
Smarties snorting wise asses.
Agree completely.
No it's not. I know it's 2014, but thinking a young girl is cute does not make you a pedophile. It also doesn't mean you like animal porn because you think a cat is gorgeous.
Uh, no?
Why should she get "hate" from anyone, exactly? In what fictional world do you live?
People are already doing this. Just check the comments on the topic outside of GAF
"Yo this is T for Teen, she can't even buy this game."
Um...what top west coast players?
she's a girl who is awesome at video games. in the very real world, the "gaming community" is rife with mra/gamergate goobers who will get really riled up at this.
Uh, no?

And there's obviously chess, with a bunch of examples, most notable probably being Bobby Fisher starting to show up on the scene at age 12 and becoming a grandmaster at age 15.
All of them were Karissa practising.
Seriously she picked up Diddy after watching a game? She's basically Ender.
Well, that throws whatever credibility esports had out the window.
The overwhelming majority of people have absolutely nothing against that.she's a girl who is awesome at video games.
I don't shy away fro define myself as a gamer (among other things) and I find the popular dislike for the term on GAF mostly ridiculous, embarrassing and poorly argumented, but beside that I'm not sure what's your point.Are you a 'gamer' or just an apologist? In the misogynistic real world. What world do you live in?
The overwhelming majority of people have absolutely nothing against that.
Yes, even among "gamers".
Hell, I would guess you'd be hard pressed to find someone hostile toward this girl even among some the most blatant misogynists in the gaming community, because for most of them their ordinary display of misogyny is for a larger part some sort of reactionary "over-defensiveness" against what they perceive as "fem-nazis" threating their hobbies.
Or do you actually think that the average, normal, non-sociopath males hate the mere idea of any individual of female gender getting close to videogames as a hobby?

Apologist for what? What are you even talking about?
this gif almost had me in tears as alot of this thread... what game is it from!?
little girl beats a typical gamer dude at a game and the game is now a non-competitive party game in a lot of people's eyes?
you all should be ashamed of yourselves if you're thinking that way.
