I went to a local major in VA and the smell was so bad that they sent out a PSA saying they were going to be conducting "sniff checks" at the door. LOL
Bro they need to do that shit at all tourneys. All you have to do is shower at least every other day and put deodorant on every day. That's the bare minimum and you'll be fine. But mfs go 4-7 days with no shower and think it's acceptable. So ridiculous
It's an interesting phenomenom; not only you get the generic allergic-to-soap-unwashed but add adrenaline from a high-octane fighting game competition and you get a bunch of people to _really fucking reeking_
I remember going to a tourney when I was 14. And I was in absolute DISBELIEF at how DISGUSTING IT WAS. I've smelled Pre-K rooms that smell nicer than that venue. I will never ever go to a tournament again after that. Good lord
I went to a pretty big regional in my country once and at some point I saw some lady walk in with a camera, presumably vlogging, and she said “it smells like I need an oxygen tank”
I’ll never forget me and one of my friends funniest memories is our first tournament ever we decided to enter smash4 for fun (we played melee). Our first round in doubles, the other team smelled so bad we could not stop laughing and lost 💀. From that day onward, the opposing team who were two brother were known as the Onion Twins
Haven’t been to a smash tournament, but I went to my first comic con in August last year. And it was actually pretty clean. The only time anyone started to smell bad is when we went outside for food because it’s Arizona so we immediately started cooking ourselves. But other than that it was pretty nice. And it was mostly women wearing HEAVY perfume. Like I wasn’t trying to sniff people, but seriously we would be walking through a crowd and you walk by a group of girls and just get a strong clean smell. It was the exact opposite of a smash tournament but just as strong lmao. There was also a smash mini tournament set up on one end of the convention hall and this one dude I played against was actually super nice and smelled super fresh. When we finished, he wanted to shake my hand so I did, and he pulled me in for a hug. Pretty cool dude.
I hate how this is what we’re known for, I don’t even smell bad as a 15 year old, but when I tell someone I play smash competitively, they assume I’m a discord mod
@@shyguy85 why are you here hate watching? if you gonna do something about it, then do it or shut the fuck up. He was a weirdo, we get it. He isn't one and hasn't been one since what actually happened.
FR LIKE YOURE GOING OUT IN PUBLIC AINT NOBODY WANNA SMELL THAT- i don't understand what is more important than taking a shower 😭 smash can wait it isn't all that important.
There is one banned stager that smash players really hate more than other banned stages. It has ice physics, hazards in the form of water, walls and ceilings, sometimes slopes, and items in the form of shampoo and soap. It's called the shower
Get off your moral high horse. Some people are perfectly content with making 30k a year like at say Walmart. And I say this as a licensed therapist. You are not any better or of "higher value" just because mommy and daddy let you leech off of them for multiple years post highschool.
Bro I used to go to this weekly tournament in Orlando FL that took place on Wednesdays in a buffalo wild wings (shout out to CFL scene) and bro… tell me how the FUCK could smash players make an OPEN WINGS RESTAURANT SMELL LIKE DOG SHIT BODY ODOR?? Yes, a live open restaurant. We played on this one section near the entrance meanwhile the rest of the restaurant was fully open serving food. Crazy.
Lots (not all) of competitive gamers/nerds are socially awkward and/or introverted, they often avoid leaving their house and dont prioritize showering and washing their clothes. But an event like this gets them all in one place. We all know these types, they often smell like shit.
I went to this previous DreamHack tournament in Dallas expecting for my nostrils to be overrun with the stench of notorious gamers who haven’t showered in ages, but to my surprise it wasn’t that bad. Good experience for my first tournament
I have competed in two tournaments so far. Came in 3rd in my the first tourney and 2nd in the second tourney. To be honest I can't say that I have ever noticed any odor at smash tournaments, but then again I'm a nurse so poor hygiene is probably not even going to register when compared to necrotic flesh and stage 4 wound infections.
My man speaks the truth. When I was active, I always make sure I smell REAL good. That's me in general. Used to have people at tourneys ask me"why are you here? You don't look like you'd pay this game" because I enjoy smash and grew up with it, now I'm a family man and I've been getting my gains at the gym for 7 years. 👍🤙💪💪
I went to a local tournament after my friends egged me on to compete as I was pretty decent. Unfortunately both magic the gathering and smash tournament were held at the same time so walking into the store was like entering a sauna of thick stench. People passing by smelling like armpit and moldy gym clothes made it impossible to concentrate. It made me realize they just don't wash or it's a tactic to throw off your opponents
The fact you said Aegis made me so happy as a Xenoblade fan. I hate the term Pythra so much and wish smash fans would actually play the series these amazing characters come from
@@Darkseid3rI've seen a lot of smash fams say Aegis. Pythra is just there to let people who dont know what a Xenoblade is know that they're talking about Pyra/Mythra. Doesn't make it any less awful.
Went to GOML 2019 and it was fine. Definitely helped that the ceiling was like 50 feet high and it was in a huge convention centre. Also helped that I didn’t have to play against anyone. But the overall crowd was fine.
Every small local I went to was pretty OK but when I went to my schools Anime Club for a smash tournament it smelt like straight up ass in that one classroom
Okay he said that a lot of the players are older but at least in Ult, there's more young players than ever and teenage boys tend to be some of the smelliest individuals, so there's that too
NWM 2016 had the melee separated in a smaller room from all the rest of the FGC. Holy Cannoli! The smell was unreal. You could almost see the haze of the indoor pollution that was occurring
I've always thought this but have never been to a tournament to prove it. However, I have been to a con where some kid in a Call of Duty ghillie suit wore it for two days straight. You could smell the kid from 20 ft away while he sat alone playing cod.
Never have gone to a major Smash Tourney, or I think any locals around my area. Thank goodness, I can't believe Smash players won't take 10 minutes off one day to take at least one shower. I've only been going to my college tourney and the scene is really small like 15 people, so I never smelled anything rank. Now I'm kind of scared of trying to visit an actual major event, or a nearby local event.
I’m glad my local melee scene has that overall in check, but we also call out dank pits when they’re around. There’s even a community deo stick at one tourney lol
I remember seeing a dude whip out a dead fish and slam it against the ground at one of these tournaments. And Smash fans wonder why Nintendo hates them so much
The few local tournaments I’ve been to haven’t been that bad. There was one time where they ordered McDonald’s and the food ended up stinking up the place. They were no longer allowed to eat food at that venue. Funnily enough Reptile conventions and expos with literal animals have been some of the least smelliest gatherings I’ve been to
This is part of why I only went to a smash tournament once lol. But I get that playing fighting games can also make you sweaty. But even so, I'm too introverted to consume such smell.
We have one player at my local tournament that smells so bad. At one point we were petitioning to enforce a hygiene rule. But for some reason no idea why it never went through. 💀
At the local I was, the majority of people didn't even wash their hands after going to the toilet. It's disgusting. I have never shaken a smash player's hands after this again.
I went to a melee tournament once with my big brother (i only went to Smash ultimate tournaments before, this was just for fun) and we had some nasty fellas there. For context: It was in a church and lot of them traveled there a long time, so they arrived the night before and stayed over night, so it was understandable, that they had no way to shower. Some of them, however, clearly didn't shower for _longer than that..._ . One of them constantly sat next to me, walked barefoot and kept digging between his toes _RIGHT NEXT TO ME_ , it was absolutely nasty...
I did esports during highschool and one of my teammates called it biological warfare because it throws off the opponent’s game. I was the only one out of everyone in my team who actually took showers daily…
Dude yugioh had to make a rule where if you smelt like shit you could get kicked out of the tournament
As a Yu-Gi-Oh player myself,
that is true.
"Bro I swear I put on deodorant so what if I didn't shower in two weeks?"
Yugioh stink is unrivaled there were so many SJC and YCS events that I got super sick from. Even regionals are dirty 😅
This comment had me dying
lmao the shower rule
I went to a local major in VA and the smell was so bad that they sent out a PSA saying they were going to be conducting "sniff checks" at the door. LOL
Sniff checks is crazy 😂😂😂😂
Whoever had the job of sniffing people better have gotten paid WELL

Just put a clothespin on your nose and breath through your mouth you'll forget about the stench.

The smell from a Smash convention can be used for bio warfare.
NOTHING BEATS THIS COMMENT.
Smash community ALWAYS taking L's LOLOL
Bro yes, it’s so annoying having to play against these guys. It’s like I have to be dealing with this player in two dimensions 😂
Chemical warfare
Getting attacked in game and irl goes crazy
Smash bros is 3D now. Due to the sheer aroma
It’s a fighting tactic
believe me, it's working.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lemme guess, everyone is Musashi Miyamoto now lol
Even one smash player used his odur to distract opponents
you gotta go
“Green Zelda shirts and cargo shorts”
Brother you did NOT have to call my Dad out like that. That was his favorite getup in his mid-twenties
Not the cargo shorts 💀

Not to be confused with Temple in Super Smash Bros. Melee

There tends to be a correlation between the complaint and smell ratio.
Seriously.

He's still a weird groomer though

Does he stink or something?
@@introvertdude99In more ways than one
heard that boi salem smell like an onion
He do, I’ve been with him
You know how bad it is when ZeRo, knowing his past, is saying how bad it smells
Glad he's healthy and takes care of himself
We all know about it.
The main reason why the tournaments smell bad is because the people participating in the tournaments try distracting their opponent with smell
I'll never understand why these people can't just take a shower before leaving the house
Seriously😂 imagine being in the basement for 6 days in a row and then heading straight to a crowded event
FR LIKE YOURE GOING OUT IN PUBLIC AINT NOBODY WANNA SMELL THAT- i don't understand what is more important than taking a shower 😭 smash can wait it isn't all that important.
It's funny, our scene started getting more girls in attendance, so people started smelling better lol
Bro became a pretty boi
Well we’ll this is a crazy phenomenon but let’s not forgot you were apart of that for a bit

I caught whiff of that scent when I went to EVO
Frostbite 2020 was my first and only tourney. This was pre Covid and it STUNK so fucking bad I had to bring a mask

My team tries to combat this phenomenon by treating going to a tournament as if you were going to a nice restaurant
I thought it was always over exaggerated and kinda just a meme. Until I went to my first local ☠️
"Have you ever gone to a Smash Bros. Tournament? Why'd you stink?"
I think I've dissociated from the smell... I was at Temple in France 💀
Any nerdy event is like this, its from usually unsocial people, whom lack the awareness that they smell.

Average ssb pro's lack of deodorant + people hyping up + sweaty competitors = zombie smell mayhem
I went to one of the 2GG saga tourneys and it actually didn’t smell bad, it just smelled like nothing. I was very pleasantly surprised.
You don't even have to ask who they play , you can just smell them and know they play aegis or steve

Let's just be honest smash Bros players haven't taken a shower since 2008
My first tournament, my mom had to smell me to make sure it wasn’t me. She knew it wasn’t, but was just checking.
Bro just mad he’s not allowed within 10 miles of a smash tournament with children lololol
Isn't he the last person who should be talking about someone is, "Way too old to be ______"
Took me to the end of the video to realize this was zero 😭😭 he looks so much different, good for you man

Green Zelda shirt and those cargo shorts is so spot on 😂
Zero you do realize you're one of those people who used to go to these things regularly and played in the same seats as those people right
Okay he said that a lot of the players are older but at least in Ult, there's more young players than ever and teenage boys tend to be some of the smelliest individuals, so there's that too
The TO's in my region eventually had enough of it that the whole discord server got notified for future events.
Funnily enough, Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments have a policy which states, you have to be clean and showered or you can get a dq
Konami had to pass a FORMAL RULE allowing them to bar players from Yu-Gi-Oh! events because of how bad they smell. Checkmate, ZeRo.
NWM 2016 had the melee separated in a smaller room from all the rest of the FGC. Holy Cannoli! The smell was unreal. You could almost see the haze of the indoor pollution that was occurring

dont be scared
we all smelly here.
Nah you'll have fun bro
It will stink tho

I walked past a crowd watching a set one time and the smell was just unimaginable
I have been to one and it’s like fighting the great mighty poo i swear
I’m convinced this is the best RUclips short
I’m glad my local melee scene has that overall in check, but we also call out dank pits when they’re around. There’s even a community deo stick at one tourney lol
i swear mfs that dont shower and go to there just use it as a form of mindgames
Nahhh the green Zelda shirt and brown cargo shirts was SPOT ON 💀
i feel like i'd get sexually harassed if i went to a smash tourney

It’s the Smash pheromone which attracts other Smash players to the tournament.
Our anime convention in Montreal doesn't smell bad. I dunno, maybe we're just in the habit of practicing basic hygiene up here.
Guys is called a shower
I can smell the two word combination smash and tournament the same sentence. Based ZeRo
I went to a gaming fest last year and the high tier ticket came with a bar of soap.

I never had a problem with smash.
The only tournament I went to was a local and they had air fresheners galore. It was safe to say that one didn’t stink
