Bad reads—those moments where a player runs directly into an obvious, devastating attack—make for some of the most cringe-worthy yet entertaining clips in competitive Smash. This compilation spotlights the third installment of GR.'s "Bad Reads" series, collecting some of the worst decision-making in the scene.
