DUBAI: A Japanese Super Smash Bros. pro player is opening his own prep school to help gamers get better at the classic Nintendo game.

The player goes by the name Souther and is currently ranked 122^nd in Japan. Souther announced on Twitter his plan to provide lessons to those wishing to bring their game to the next level.

The school will be open to complete beginners, as well as gamers who have a basic understanding or a few years of experience at Super Smash Bros.

この度、強くなりたいと願う全てのスマブラの民を救うために、スマブラ進学校を立ち上げました！
現在、スマブラの攻略情報は飽和しており、それらは前提知識が必要なことも多いですが、本校では、全く未プレイであるのを前提に授業を進めていくので、誰でも安心して学習できます。#スマブラ進学校 pic.twitter.com/huKd9hJUTH

“I have set up a school to help all Smash Bros. players who want to get better at the game,” Southern said. “At the moment, there are so many tips and strategy guides online that it’s hard to find which ones are actually good. At this school, lessons are taught based on the assumption that you have zero experience, so you can learn with peace of mind.”

The Japanese player also said his school will provide personalized lessons, including homework and tests, to cater directly to each student.

Souther said the reason he stared the school is to grow the Super Smash Bros. community and to encourage new players to get better.

Currently, no further details have been provided on how to enroll and payment plans.
