Nintendo could make her a star and really play into current trends surrounding self respecting women who can protect themselves

 

[scitek]

This is so awesome haha.

Someone also trained her well in the arts of psychological warfare.

I was going to say she looks like she can handle herself. The hand over the mouth as she asked "Are you crying?" is amazing.

 

[entremet]

Man, I love young killers. They're so fun for the community.


Hopefully she continues to compete as she as gets older and becomes a staple at tourneys. E-sports needs more females.

LOL.

Literally laughing my ass out of bed.

 

[jon bones]

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?

This isn't about "the overwhelming majority" as you yourself stated:

Uh, no?

Why should she get "hate" from anyone, exactly? In what fictional world do you live?

It's about "anyone."

Even the most cursory google search brings up this topic "Karissa EXPOSED" from GameFAQS:

proving yourself wrong, and embarrassing "gamers" once again.

 

[entremet]

So did they interview her?

How did she get so good? Has she been playing the older games? Smash 3DS?

 

[Chaos17]

Maybe they were just nice to a little girl and don't want to make her cry? I often (not always) let kids win, becausw they turn into monsters, when they lose.

Did you watched the videos before saying that ?

Said way better than I could have said it. Thank you

 

[PhoenixDawn]

It would be awesome if Nintendo made a commercial with her in it. Especially since it seems like she has already appeared in other commercials assuming that what others have said is true.

 

[munchie64]

Wow that's amazing. She's way better than me lol

 

[Corto]

She's the chosen one.

 

[Yado]

Skeptical about this being a viral marketing ploy tbh

Holy shit. Karissa destroys it all.

It doesn't read like a lot of "HATE".
More like a lone nutjob with an idiotic tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

I'm starting to think that this girl was abducted by Nintendo from birth and trained in a lab to play Smash Bros her entire life for the purposes of promoting Smash 4.

That's how inexplicably good she is.

So somebody faked the video output when she was playing D1?

Is that really hate or just people who can't believe a 10 year old is that good?

What a garbage community this is. Anyone salty about a little girl being good at a video game to the point of trying to "expose" them is no longer deserving of respect.

 

[ExoSoul]

Follow the money

Spoiler

did I so it right?

 

[Polioliolio]

I was almost afraid to watch the videos to see how grown men might behave around a little girl who's good at smash.

 

[Sami+]

I have two nieces - one just turned 7 and the other's gonna be four in January.

Time to start training.

 

[pyros]

I understand the 10 year old thing, but is the person being a girl a talking point?

 

[Kunan]

Man those videos were great!

lol @ the conspiracy theorists and people saying its cause smash is a button masher. She's legit great!

 

[phanphare]

damn, she's better than I am

and with Diddy Kong too

damn

 

[Barrylocke]

I understand the 10 year old thing, but is the person being a girl a talking point?

Yes. It shouldn't be, but it is.

Chalk me up as another fan. Hope to see more of her.

 

[JaseMath]

This was amazing. Hope it's real and not some viral marketing ploy.

 

[LeleSocho]

We found the real Hi-Score Girl

 

[benny_a]

This was amazing. Hope it's real and not some viral marketing ploy.

Who knows if it's just a coincidence that she is also a child actor.

 

[Altered Juice]

well, regardless of whether it's a stunt or not she wouldn't steamroll me, though. bet those guys put themselves in a corner and assumed the fetal position haha

 

[Corto]

Is there money to be earned in this? I'll put my son on a video gaming dojo if so.

 

[Sentenza]

Well, even a 10 years old male capable of beating a lot of experienced players in a public event would hardly get ignored.
I guess she being a girl (and little cute one as well) just makes her stand out even more.
So yeah, it's probably a talking point.

 

[DaBoss]

This is amazing.

I just wish it wasn't Diddy for most of the video, though it doesn't take away from how amazing it is.

 

[Tripon]

http://karissabannister.com/

She's a telegenic 10 year old who lives in West Hollywood. Of course she's a child actress.

 

[JaseMath]

Clearly an Illuminati puppet.

 

[Barrylocke]

I did see this a moment ago. REALLY hoping it's still real though. People can be multi-talented, and apparently she's only done a little acting so far.

 

[mbpm1]

<--- No.

lol

 

[Kinyou]

And her name rhymes with Lannister. Very suspicious.

She assassinates Sakurai in 2 years. With a crossbow.

[Codeblue]

Man, West Coast is stacked. Even their 10 year old girls are pro.

 

[GameGuru59]

We merely adopted Smash. She was born in it, molded by it.

This is the only way I can explain this. She likely has an advantage because she's been playing since she could hold a controller. Early brain development tends to build in practiced habits much faster than practice later in life. Sort of like how I'm better than most new players in Mario Kart because I've played every one since first picking up an SNES controller at 5 years old.

What is a Frametrap?

 

[Astral]

I loved how she still had the cool to talk shit midmatch.

Team CGI

Not sure if serious.

"I play Super Smash Bros, that means I can defend myself. "

What is a Frametrap?

Frame Trap: A sequence of attacks designed to make the opponent think they have a good opportunity to attack, when they are actually in a poor position to attack. Almost always refers to Counterhit Setups.

You can go here for most of your fighting game terminology needs.
