Thecommunity has always prided itself in its diversity, with players of all ages, nationalities and races coming together for the sake of having some healthy competitive fun with the game we all love. The scene, however, has always had a bit of trouble attracting women.Female representation in tournaments usually seems to be somewhere between low and non-existent. Even with groups like Smash Sisters stepping up to the plate to try and make the community a more welcoming environment for them, growth seems slower than we’d like to admit.Subsequently, seeing a female player earn as much recognition and popularity as Kayla “” Mackay has could be seen as something special. A Smasher hailing from British Columbia, she spent her first few years with the game as a member of the Vancouver Island scene but eventually moved to the mainland hoping to pursue better practice and more tournament opportunities.In that time, she’s managed to grow a decently popular stream following and has attended a variety of high-notoriety tournaments, like TBH6 and Genesis 4. Today, she joins us to discuss her experiences with thecommunity and how she believes we can become a more welcoming environment for women moving forward.How long have you been playing Melee?Is this when you started getting interested in competitive Smash?Earlier, you mentioned Smash Sisters, which is something I was meaning to ask you about. How are you related to the organization, and what’s your general consensus of it and what they’re doing for thecommunity?Let’s talk about your combo videos. You just uploaded "This is What a Feminist Looks Like" a few days ago, and it immediately gained some traction on Reddit and Twitter. First of all, tell us about the production going into it. What was the process behind making it?And how did you feel about the feedback?This actually leads into my next question: How do you feel about the Smash Bros. community's treatment of women? What do you think we should do moving forward to become more accommodating and attract more people that could be interested in the game?What can you tell us about your plans for the future?And if people wanna keep up with you, where can they find you?Anything else you’d like to say before we wrap things up?
