Terra do Brasil, the "land of brazilwood", or to most of those reading Brazil! Land of capoeira, the brigadeiro, but most importantly for Smash fans, a great place to play some of our favorite games! UFSSmash will set out to host Smash 64, Melee, Project M, Smash 4 and will have many phenomenal Brazillian competitors as well as visiting guests.
Smash 64
Brazil has been known for having a strong Smash scene for quite some time and UFSSmash will feature the best of the best! Some of the top threats going include:
- Banze -
- The best player Brazil has to offer. Has competed in the USA and has placed high at Apex including 13th at Apex 2013, 13th at Apex 2014, and 9th at Apex 2015. - Cabelo -- Another amazing player from Brazil, he too has traveled to the USA and placed 9th at Apex 2015
- Kort -- From Rio de Janeiro he is known as the best Link player in South America who is able to go even with Banze and has been acknowledged by the Peruvian scene.
Now is an especially good time to catch Banze and Kort as they will be coming to Genesis 3 thanks to a donation drive still taking place for international players. Keep an eye out as these players will be dominating the Smash 64 tournament!
Melee
South America has some legendary Melee players who are set to attend and the visiting talent is just as strong! Let's take a look at who to watch out for on the Melee side of things:

- Far! -- Coming all the way from Mexico, Far! recently had a decent showing at Evo 2015 taking 33rd after losing to Hungrybox and Amsa.
- Aisengobay -- Having attended Apex 2014 and 2015, Aisengobay is considered the best Melee player Brazil has to offer.
- Bobesco -- Manages to go even with Aisengobay and is coming off a win at the last tournament he attended.
- Izzi -- Coming from Rio de Janeiro he has almost gotten tournaments from Aisengobay in the past. will this be his day to shine?
Project M
Project M also has some impressive talent coming to attend with quite the variety of characters being used. Among these players listed many of the Melee players listed above will also be competing. But the top talent known mostly for Project M include:
- Godzrage -/- One of the best Project M players in Brazil, he's out to take down Roche after a recent loss at TMSS 3.
- Phoca -- He has been considered to be in the top four players for a long time.
- Joker -- Has shown amazing things with Squirtle even after nerfs received in PM 3.6b
Smash 4
The big player to look out for on the Smash 4 side of the tournament is Player 7. Known as the "Brazilian ZeRo" due to his unprecedented win streak at South American tournaments, every other player competing will be wanting to take him down. He recently traveled to Paraguay and took down their best player Oblivion. Will Player 7 succeed and take home the gold or finally fall? Readers will have to tune in to find out!
