In a moldy Polish wedding hall, Lizzie "Ultrasonic" Newell, aged 11, wearing an upside down snake hat, approached a group of world-famous beatboxers. Their circle immediately absorbed it. Newell showed his own drum beats, bouncing back in time. She was fine here, but had a look of shameless admiration on her face. About an hour later, Newell was down in a mildew-like room with a controller in hand, getting his bad screaming at Super Smash Bros. 4 .
"I think I'm getting higher, more EXP," Lizzie said of her approach to both beatbox and games, admitting, "I know that there are people who are much better than me. "
Super Smash Bros. and beatboxing are not a likely combination. Yet last weekend Smash Sounds in Brooklyn, the organizers happily married both hobbies in two days of battles and chaos. The world's most famous beatboxers – Neil "Napom" Meadows, Hyeonseo "Hiss" Choe and Chris Celiz – rub shoulders with the best Smash pros like Nairoby "Nairo" Quezada, Samuel "Dabuz" Buzby and Yuta "Abadango "Kawamura
" The beatbox community is basically the same way as the community Smash It was pbadionate musicians who kept it alive, "said the American Beatbox Championships and Smash the organizer of Sounds Jake Rich, who declared Kotaku that he was playing Smash daily. Tournaments Smash are rarely sponsored by the game's publisher, Nintendo, and instead, a network of pbadionate and pbadionate fans organize local and national tournaments.The competitive Beatboxing scene is similar, says Rich: "This are a few artists from different communities who have dedicated their time, their efforts and their pbadion to these battles. "
Beatboxing and Smash competitors love personas and gimmicks. "I play Pikachu with a wizard's hat," Lizzie told Kotaku just before the tournament Smash . "Because it's the closest to Pikachu with the hat of Ash."
