Stric is an extremely technical falco player and is currently ranked # 2 in New Jersey under Mew2king. He has beaten the majority of top players on the east coast. Stric has a very strong spacing game, but prefers to play with an aggressive “all or nothing” playstyle.

Summary:
Work your way through the plains of Wisconsin and you’ll find this crafty Fox. His keen understanding of the game shows with his exceptional space animal play. Most recently he has shown a high-level of play with his Marth, showcasing strong fundamentals. If you are looking for the fiercest competitor in the Badger State look no more.

Bob$ has a storied history in the realm of Smash, starting off with Doctor Mario in the crew DBR. He now mainly plays Marth with a high proficiency in fundamentals, spacing, and matchup knowledge. He has taken a backseat to playing competitively as of recent months and has turned to training fellow players in his Northern California region.
Glad to see Bob$ (@Multilifeual) on the #ssbmrank. I liked #ssbm, Overdose made me fall in love and send a message on OKCupid.

Marth
6.526
Region:
SoCal
Tourney Results
49th at EVO 2013
Summary:
The legendary “King of Smash” who created the blueprint for Marth players today. He was known for his great mindgames and the infamous “Ken Combo”, a series of aerials that would climax with a down-air, sending his opponents to their doom. He hasn’t played too much in recent years, but now has his own show on VGBootcamp’s twitch channel.
#SSBMRank @Sephirothken great in every era! Thanks for the innovation @tafokints
