A '''professional''' gamer, commonly shortened to '''pro''', is a person who plays a fighting game at a very high level of skill. In general, professionals regularly make money off of playing the game in [[tournament]]s and/or one who is recruited and sponsored by a notable organization, such as [[MLG]]. Due to MLG and other major gaming corporations not sponsoring ''Smash Bros.'' players anymore, a professional is also commonly considered the person at the top of the [[metagame]] of that said character, such as {{Sm|Hax}} for {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} or {{Sm|Axe}} for {{SSBM|Pikachu}}. | A '''professional''' gamer, commonly shortened to '''pro''', is a person who plays a fighting game at a very high level of skill.
