The Smash Master Class is a 10-step online course for players looking to improve at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It features over 80 minutes of content, with instruction from prominent Smash Ultimate players, coaches, and community figures. Users also have access to written transcripts and downloadable exercise worksheets.

Interested Smash players can gain access to this course with a one-time payment of $39.99. MetaLab is also offering special financing options due to the economic impact of the coronavirus. These options include three payments of $16 a month, or six payments of $10 a month.

MetaLab released the following statement on its website regarding the charity-driven focus of the Smash Master Class’ launch. “The fact that targeted violence like this is STILL commonplace despite the ‘Modernism’ of our time is unacceptable. It’s not just the government and the police that are at fault here, it’s also the fault of those that do nothing… We are owned and operated by minorities and we won’t stand idle in the presence of this violent injustice.”
