And that's a good thing, right? RIGHT?

#SmashIsActuallyTheKeytoTheEconomy

 

[Sadist]

Damn

That's all

 

[BGBW]

I saw a severe lack of items and the showing of ones move. Do these people even know how to play Super Smash Bros.™ for Wii U?

 

[Speedwagon]

Looks fake...

 

[blankempathy]

They should of distracted her by telling her Santa's not real. They need to work on their trash talk.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Looks fake...

Um, what? How so?

Whether it turns out to be completely real or not, people so desperately wanting it to be staged are incredibly pathetic.

I agree.

 

[ffdgh]

Haha props to her tho the world does not need more Diddy players lol. Not seeing exactly how this is being staged/faked.

 

[ec0ec0]

That was fun.

A 10 year old playing makes it more exciting. Still, even with that, that was boring to watch. This is a really limited game. All those diddy games with just: 1. defense, defense, defense: mashing all kind of dodges like crazy, shielding and 2. offense was mostly: grabbs into aerials again and again and bananas. And im not talking about her. Both players were doing it, becuase the game allows you to play like that.

What's up with Diddy Kong?

 

[ffdgh]

What's up with Diddy Kong?

Oh nothing. I simply hate fighting them.

 

[theprodigy]

Oh nothing. I simply hate fighting them.

good thing she mains Rosalina

 

[thesaucetastic]

I fucking love everything about this.

She's perfect.

 

[nded]

Sometimes kids turn out to be really good at something. It's pretty cool. There are 10 year old children that could put most practiced adults to shame in various subjects and activities, so why not video games?

 

[MissileTrick]

[Doomshine]

There is also another young Tekken player around the same age who is also as good.

That would be Gen, formerly known as Genkids. His team got 3rd place at Mastercup, a tournament with over 900 players.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

We need to see her in tournaments once the Wii U version comes out. She's amazing.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I thought this kid was the chosen one.

Califorrrrrnia.

 

[Ansatz]

It's only natural since Nintendo makes games for children.

 

[Coreda]

More footage: Diddy vs Mario

 

[Paracelsus]

Watching kids react to smash 64 now gets a whole new meaning.

 

[Riposte]

My sister has NO fucking excuse.

 

[ffdgh]

good thing she mains Rosalina

Honestly fighting Rosalina with Peach isn't all that bad.

 

[Dimmle]

Completely unrelated to the girl's clear skill: it does sort of bum me out that this is the way high level Smash 4 is played. I would have preferred a game that rewards offense a bit more.

 

[Boss Doggie]

This thread is getting nasty. For shame.

 

[NolbertoS]

Damn. Little girl got mad skillz. Reminds me of a time in an arcade machine at 7-11, when I was playing Mortal Kombat 2 at 12 yrs old and made it all the way to Shao Khan. Had like 10 people around me, cheering. That Klarissa has mad skills. Hope Nintendo sends a bucket of cash to her, cuz seeing female champion Smash players kick ass, is gonna appeal to more females who will find her cute and adorable. Smash definitely appeals to all ages.

 

[Popnbake]

I think it's a bit too early to call this high level play. It's best to wait for the community to try it out after release for a few months/year and see where it goes.

 

[Omnicent]

This is the best. THE BEST! Love watching all the bodyings getting handed out.
Also comments that its staged/fake.... you people need to get GUD. let the salt flow! (not directly talking about gaf, but some of those youtube comments.. seriously?! people pls)

 

[EmptySpace]

It's only natural since Nintendo makes games for children.

they make games for everyone.


oh and making games for children isn't even a bad thing.

 

[DrkSage]

Holy mother of god! Shes amazing!

Kids are like sponges man, give a kid a fighting game or a FPS and some time and they'll be better than you thats for damn sure.

 

[petran79]

Imagine if she plays an anime fighter like Arcana Heart....oh the horror!
and not for gameplay reasons!

 

[Holy Order Sol]

We need to see her in tournaments once the Wii U version comes out. She's amazing.

Leffen vs Karissa needs to happen

 

[Snkfanatic]

Haha that is amazing.

 

[Gino]

I'm impressed. She's way better than me that's for sure.

 

[blackflag]

I don't even play this game but this is clearly awesome

 

[Pizza]

She needs to go to evo!

 

[Azure J]

It's legitimately kind of sad that I read this thread from page 2 (100ppp) to here and instead of people respecting and admiring both the talent of this young player and the crowd around her who were excited as hell SEEING HER PLAY [you all don't participate in enough gaming events if you consider this heckling] there's a larger sense of disbelief in the ability of Karissa going so far as to say the event itself was staged and disingenuous to support your own inability to accept what is happening here. Equally funny/sad are those people here perpetuating the stereotype of "hurr Smash not complex/low skill ceiling/not competitive" with no idea of the basic fundamentals of fighting games in general being displayed on a near consistent basis through the two videos linked here.

Smarten up guys.

We found the real Hi-Score Girl

Haha, this is great.

 

[Nimby]

Can this be the next Kayane? I really hope so! I grew up on Tekken and Soulcalibur, and sure I could beat any of my friends, but I was no where near as good as this!

 

[Dimmle]

Hm, you've got a point there. The game's only been out for a month. It'll be interesting to see the scene develop.

 

[ChoklitCow]

My sister has NO fucking excuse.

I don't know why this made me laugh as hard as it did.

 

[El Sloth]

I'm so glad she slayed them, they all sound like dorks. ᕙ(`▽´)ᕗ

ahahahaha

Listening to all those manchildren is so much fun

Yeah, haha! That'll teach those losers having fun amirite! I bet those nerds post regularly on video game forums too!

 

[Mory Dunz]

Both sides of this thing are being a bit ridiculous, tbh.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

I've got a friend who's convinced this is all a publicity stunt to rev up discussion for the game. Not sure what to think. (I think she's legit) Talented kid or stunt it's got people excited and talking alright

 

[Holy Order Sol]

People just love the upset narrative. Reminds me of that Gandhi thread.

There's no way this is staged. D1 being in the position he is will certainly seize the opportunity and make the most of it to help the game get exposure though.

 

[Coreda]

It's legitimately kind of sad that I read this thread from page 2...

Most of the responses have been positive. It's fun video of an excited crowd and promising young player with a spirited personality, really what's not to like.

 

[jacksepticeye]

This is awesome! I hope it's real and if it's staged that I never find out because I like the thought of her being amazing than it all being fake

 

[legacyzero]

Those tweets have me in TEARS! AAAHAHAHAHA

 

[Azure J]

I guess the negative responses just stuck out to me more. It just feels like lately the most negative posts in GAF threads have been really really out there sounding and with something as harmless as this it pushed one too many buttons. Sorry.

 

[Cody_D165]

Karissa vs M2K in Apex GFs?

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Kids really good. Would probably wreck me. As a side note I kind of would like to see shields not regenerate so fast, game doesn't seem to favor relentless offense.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

My sister has NO fucking excuse.

Same thing I thought.

I can't wait to show this to my sister as soon as I see her.
