So for those of you who don’t know, competitive Super Smash Bros. is pretty big overseas. With a rather large competitive scene for each Smash game and a dedicated community supporting it. Now while this isn’t some epic Smash gameplay video, it’s an interesting discussion to listen to about the Smash scene and what makes it such a compelling eSport.

For some background information, Battle of the Five Gods was a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament held at SXSW in March. It was an invitational that saw 20 of the top Melee players battle it out at SXSW. What makes this special is that it featured the “Five Gods”, five of the top Melee players who have over the years help pioneer the game into eSports spectacle it is today. The Five Gods, Armada, Hungrybox, Mew2king, PPMD and Mango are all highly regarded competitors in the Melee competitive scene as well as the Smash community. Even though it may seem a bit frivolous, it creates an interesting narrative for competitive Melee which just makes the game a lot more enjoyable to follow.
