He discovered online ''Smash 64'' in 2007 along with another fellow smasher, MattNF. Due in part to being a good friend of the latter, who was a member of [[PPS]], he was allowed in the [[crew]] by {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}. Prior to this, he was a member of iXi, maining a lackluster Donkey Kong with a generic Captain Falcon secondary originally under the tag METAL DK. He eventually switched to Yoshi after entering and winning a Yoshi ditto tournament hosted by Stoned iXi.

===Smash 64===
===Smash 64===
In ''Smash 64'', he uses {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} as [[main]]s, as well as {{SSB|Samus}}, {{SSB|DK}} and {{SSB|Fox}} occasionally. His worst characters are Link and Jigglypuff but he uses the majority of the cast on a high level, particularly in low tiers where he got 25th at the current largest low tier event at Let's Go. KoRo used to be one of the primary keyboard players in online play from 2007 to 2014 but now uses a golden Hori with a lodgenet stick installed by {{sm|JimmyJoe}}. He used a keyboard adapter for a while offline such as as Apex before the complete switch due to the hassle of setting up said adapter and overall worse spacing. KoRo plays "claw" using the normal 64 controller, being used to holding it that way for puzzle games such as Pokémon Puzzle League. On Hori, he doesn't use A for almost all his Aerials but rather uses the shoulder buttons.
In ''Smash 64'', he uses {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} as [[main]]s, as well as {{SSB|Samus}}, {{SSB|DK}} and {{SSB|Fox}} occasionally. He has a Pikachu for doubles and his worst characters by far are {{SSB|Link}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff{{ (though he ironically specializes in both of of those matchups along with Fox/Mario) but he uses the vast majority of the cast on a high level. This can be seen particularly in low tiers where he got 25th at the current largest low tier event at [[Let's Go!]] and similar placings at [[Keystoned II]].

KoRo plays "claw" using the normal 64 controller, being used to holding it that way for puzzle games such as Pokémon Puzzle League. On Hori, he doesn't use A for almost all his Aerials but rather uses the shoulder buttons but this results in occasional bad grabs. He has had very close sets vs top players but is known for his inconsistency though he has taken sets/games off of several players in the top 64.


On [[Smashboards]], he was a long time contributor until the large majority of the community moved over to the SSB64 Community Facebook page. KoRo was a member of the 64 backroom which closed due to spam and overall uselessness outside of the new stage list.

After Apex 2015, he kick-started a new tier discussion thread which resulted in a voting topic ran by him, {{sm|Pidgezero one}}, and several moderators. This eventually resulted in the current tier list seen today.

===Melee===
===Melee===


KoRo got back into Melee around Apex 2012, but was in a state of rust. He started to attend more events, but until {{Sm|Hectohertz}}'s weeklies in 2014, he was semi-inactive. At NeoNebulous 23, he traded for {{sm|Lambchops}}'s controller. He mains {{SSBM|Luigi}} in ''Melee'' still and welcomes the [[20XX]] movement. He is mainly known for his unusually high rate of misfires and has taken games off of {{sm|Hax}}, {{sm|VanZ}}, and several other more well known/better players thanks to them. He prefers doubles. His worst matchup is Falco and has developed a Sheik for that matchup as well as for {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}/Marths to an extent.

He prefers doubles and has had some strong placements, particular with B3N, a local Falcon main as well as several Jigglypuffs/Foxes he has teamed with. His worst matchup is Falco and has developed a Sheik for that matchup as well as for {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}/Marths to an extent. His most likely last melee event as at the last nebulous as his controller was lost and/or stolen though he had a good time otherwise.
