    If you enjoy watching videos about Super Smash Bros. that have a blend of wisdom and comedic tone, then one of the best channels to follow is Inferno Omni.

    With an audience that has grown to nearly 100K subscribers on YouTube, Omni has many videos that focus on the discussion of the Smash Bros. fan community. But that doesn’t mean he strays away from making content that highlights certain aspects of the games, including the good and bad differences between various Super Smash Bros. releases.

    His on-going series on specific main characters people play as in different games is both a solid commentary on the characters, as well as a comedic jab at what you commonly see from players on and offline.

    What Omni does best however is make videos touching on certain news and hot topics about the Super Smash Bros. fan community. The series he calls #LayItOmni not only allows him to give thoughts and opinions on the topics of the moment, but also offer a bit of tough love to the same community he is a part of.

    Something wild and crazy happened to a few popular Smash players? Expect to see Omni post a very well-thought-out roast of all the silliness, while also adding a bit of wise food-for-thought to compliment everything that gets cooked.

    When he isn’t making videos about the Super Smash Bros games or community, you can still find him once in a while talking about anime and other video game series.
