So we're in a day and age where it's easy to keep track of certain players that we admire, or to look up videos and content that most people like to look at for entertainment, and to learn quicker.

Who do you think is worth following or keeping up with? We've already got people Like ZeRo giving character analysis, and some groups that stream tournaments, but are there any players that you find keeping up with the most, and provides information for the game, or just a form of entertainment?

Right now I'm keeping up with shofu. Since I don't have the game yet and he's a half way decent player, his half-hour long episodes of using each character in For Glory is helping me as a wait for the WiiU version. Even though I hate his personality.

Shofu comes off as a really happy and very nice guy. To hate his personality, would require somewhat of a salty one of your own.

Is he normally different than how he acts in his smash character showcases? Because just from those videos he seems to focus mostly on the game but the few times he does talk it's to complain about the other player or the lag. It's a lot of "Oh my GAWD what is this guy doing? Stop countering so much! Yo man I told you to stop countering!" He gets a really annoying tone and it comes off as pretty annoying pretty fast. But if you say that then maybe I just got the wrong first impression from him from his videos.

His streams are way better because it's not just him and they all have genuine conversations with one another

I had recently subbed to Sky Williams who had been making Character Spotlight videos (though his last one was made a month ago), and a user called MySmashCorner Who makes videos on advanced techniques/tips on smash 3DS.

Apart from that it's just good ol' GameXplain for me

People said Shofu already, so I don't need to repeat. McDareth is streaming right now; He fights his viewers and he's a really good player, in my opinion. He reads the chat too, so he's always open to questions.

Watch tournament matches with Dabuz & Jtails, both fantastic players.
This is a good start. I actually played against Dabuz on stream and he's pretty ridiculous at this game. Not only his RosaLuma, but his Wario and Mario are pretty solid as well.

I typically just bounce to various streams, I haven't found a single person to watch all the time

FOW is my favorite streamer to watch. He's one of the best players in the country right now (beat Zero, Nairo, and Denti in best to 10 sets) and he's really entertaining. He takes character requests and plays viewers.

I also stream fairly often, and post tons of content to my youtube channel!

Besides the already mentioned Shofu, I also keep up with NAKAT because I like seeing if maybe I can learn anything from his Ness.

When my fingers start to bleed I'll often throw Shofu's stream on to act like I have friends who play smash.

...actually, every part of that post was far more morbid than I'd intended... ^^"

But I've been interested in taking a look at... honestly, as many high-level streams as I can find, thinking of it. NAKAT's defnitely looks cool there. :3

I admire Captain Jack, Japanese Sheik player, i pay attention to both the Japanese and American scene, i like Daiki's Megaman/Sheik from Japan, and Some of the Sheik players in the U.S. I do watch some of Shofu's Smash Streams, though i mostly pay close attention to his Pokemon stuff. Shofu is a decent player, but if i feel like i can beat him, then.....lol

For Smash4, I mostly watch TourneyLocator, and thus mostly see Oracle, Denti, Bwett, and others unfortunately less memorable. Denti does a good job of forcing my hatred of Sheik back to the surface.
