About

The Good At Smash Bros Afro, also known as the Good At Smash Bros Haircut or the Good At Smash Bros Fro, is a slang term for a short afro sported by Black men that has become synonymous with being good at the Nintendo video game Super Smash Brothers. The concept stems from multiple professional Smash Bros. players who have the afro, as well as from the general signifiers of a Black, male nerd represented in American pop culture. The meme was first conceived on Twitter in 2021 but later trended on TikTok in 2022.

In the history of professional Smash Bros. gaming, what later became known as the "Good At Smash Bros Afro" was sported by multiple players. Some examples of Smashers are DDee,[1] yonni[2] and WaDi,[3] among others (photos shown below, left to right).
