Smash Sisters isn’t a club as much as an ongoing event, a series of Super Smash Brothers Melee and Smash 4 crew battles across the country. The goal is to normalize women competing at Smash, a Sisyphean task considering the gender makeup of most tournaments. And yet, last weekend at Virginia’s Super Smash Con, the Smash Sisters drew a few dozen participants, all of whom seemed thrilled about the push for a competitive female Smash community. Emily Sun and Lil Chen, both competitive Melee players, approach the game with rare admiration for the artistic side of its technical elements, from edge-guarding to double-jumps. That admiration for the game also extends into their admiration for the community, which they have a personal stake in expanding to more women.
