Term for the current generation of smash players who first got into Melee after seeing the documentary series The Smash Brothers.
The doc covers notable professional Smash players active since "Golden Era of Smash" (2003-2008), the history of the competitive Melee scene, the 2013 Evolution Championship Series (the largest Smash tournament of its day), and the Smash community’s desire for people to keep playing Melee despite the GameCube being discontinued since 2007.
Since its release in August 2013, anyone who claims to have been inspired by this documentary to cease showering and redirect their efforts to competing in Smash games is a doc kid.

smash player 1: “So, how did you get into Smash?”
player 2: “Well I guess I’m a doc kid. Probably why I’m a Melee purest lol.”
player 1: “LMAO, me too. That doc changed my life man. So weird to think it’s kinda old now, though we’re still considered part of the new generation.”
