Watch VICE Gaming's short film on the competitive world of 'SMITE'
Hugely successful in each of its iterations, the Super Smash Bros. series has a prolific nature somewhat akin to the Pokémon games: you'd be hard pressed to find anyone under 30 who didn't enjoy a few bouts during their younger years. This makes it an ideal game for bringing people together, encompassing those who might otherwise be put off by the slightly more serious demeanour of titles like the Street Fighter franchise. And among every group of friends, there are always those looking to take the extra step."This is the classic thing of people getting into Smash," Tristan says. "They think, 'I was the best when I was younger, I was beating my brother and sister all the time and beating my mates at school.' They think they're the best. Then they come to a tournament and get whooped. They don't win a single game but they still want it, you know? They still want that glory."
