The Best Super Smash Bros Streamers On Twitch
By Jeff Kotuby ·
Even if Nintendo won't support them, the Smash community will and so will we here at Twin Galaxies - here's a list of some prominent Super Smash Bros. streamers chosen by the community themselves!
Super Smash Bros. fans are a passionate bunch - so much so that more than a decade after Super Smash Bros Melee came out, it’s still seeing action in gaming tournaments today. Between the skills that players bring to the game and the fervent love that fans show for the series, both Smash Bros Melee and the much more recent Smash Bros. for Wii U found their spot in the main stage line-up for EVO 2018. And some may not agree with that decision, the fact stands that the fans keep the so bright for these games that you can’t help but take notice of the scene. No doubt, that flame is stoked by the strong presences on Twitch that keep viewership of Smash gaming in the millions each month. Between tournament play, single-character dominance, and professional variety, these Twitch channels bring the goods when it comes to the Smash community. These are some of our favorite Smash Bros. streamers.
8 Way Run
8 Way Run is the official stream of the Dunellen, New Jersey-based arcade 8 on the Break. Every Tuesday, the arcade runs Smash tournaments featuring high-level players from the area. In that way, you won’t get a single presence, but rather a variety of players with their own personal styles and techniques trying to make grabs at the winner’s circle. If you’re interested in seeing what a weekly tournament looks like and want to see a huge variety of talent and top-level character play on display, look no further than 8 Way Run!
Pawclaw
You may have already followed Pawclaw from our Low-Tier Hero article featuring him, but if you haven’t, he’s definitely a fun streamer to check out. He plays Ganondorf, which is a rarity among prominent Smash players, and his insights and knowledge of the game is as enlightening as it is entertaining. It’s a good opportunity to learn a few things and see a character which is generally an underdog in the current Smash meta rise to the occasion and roll the competition when he can. Plus, he’ll sometimes play other games if you’re not in a Smash mood!
xSinCarax

xSinCarax is a high-level Smash player who uses a number of different characters on stream. His schedule is pretty regular, so there’s a good chance he’ll be on whenever you need someone to check out. So if you want to get a feel for a single player and their expertise on a variety of characters in great form, Sin is a pretty great and even educational watch. Plus, he plays other games like Splatoon 2 if you’re looking for more Nintendo goodness.
NRG|Nairo

Passaic, New Jersey-based Nairoby "Nairo" Quezada is an enjoyable watch for a number of reasons. He crafts mods for Smash and can often be seen showcasing them in his streams. The mods are awesome, (his Great Saiyaman Captain Falcon is my favorite) he’s a chill guy, and he’s really good. He’s another streamer who’s usually around depending on his tournament schedule, so if you’re itching for some Smash play, he’s a great follow. Like most of the others on this list, he is also interested in other games, but you’ll be equally as entertained regardless of what’s on stream.
House of 3000
The NYC-based House of 3000 is another amalgam of the Smash community showcasing a pretty great variety of players and strategies. The venue brings the very best Smash players from the area together to duke it out on stream for supremacy. Players like DeKillSage, DabuzSenpai, and more can be seen at the venue, which also streams pretty regularly. However, Smash is usually the only thing seen on stream, so hunker down if you’re in a smashing sort of mood!
Gamers on the Edge
Watch GoTE Weekly Smash #136 Top 4 from GamersOnTheEdge on www.twitch.tv
The topic of one of our Giving Gamers articles, Gamers on the Edge often features Smash on stream at many of their weekly and monthly events. Players come from Florida and the surrounding states to participate in these tournaments. During tournaments, donations are accepted and go to help the charity lend a supportive hand at various children’s hospitals. In that way, not only will you enjoy high-level play, but you’ll be able to contribute to a great cause during most of the Gamers on the Edge streams.
Maybe you’re looking to change it up and see some folks who aren’t getting as much love in the EVO 2018 season? For that, we’d be happy to direct your towards our favorite Marvel vs Capcom streamers as well!
