Smash Sisters @ Beast VI

Sup y'all. We had our second ever #SmashSisters event at Beast VI this past weekend and it looks like it was a fucking blast! AnnaPower89 (from the infamous When I'm AnnaPower89 ), Gamba, and Madeleine hosted the event that had 12 participants from across Europe. The 6v6 battle featured Ganondorf, Marth, Peach, Sheik, Doc, Jiggs, Falco and Fox. Esam, Chirou and Wobbles were on commentary for most of it and they seemed to have a great time as well!

FAQ

• How did Smash Sisters come about?

Milktea made an excellent blog post about the G3 event that kickstarted the whole thing

• Omg segregating men and women? Isn't this super fucking sexist? Why do women need their own space?

This is a great post about women's leagues in chess that's good

In the end, despite a lot of skepticism and hate we've received about the issue, the organizers and attendees have a lot of fun with it. We've heard a ton of other women reach out and say they're inspired to come out and play and train. To me, that makes it all worth it.
