GameStop Releases the Karissa The Destroyer Video

This weekend GameStop released a video starring , a 10-year-old girl that has caused a ruckus in the Super Smash Bros. world.

Earlier this month GameStop hosted a sneak preview of the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros., where Karissa seemingly defeated dominated everyone. Not soon after videos of the event went viral, evidence had surfaced, outting the Karissa as a “fake” on GameStop’s part.

However, the controversy did not stop GameStop from putting up their video.

The video itself shows a well-presented montage of Karissa’s victories with a twist of kid’s signature smack talk. At then end of the video, it reveals that professional game (Liquid KDJ) was hidden within the store playing for the kid.

Was all the controversy worth it? Watch the video and judge for yourself.
