Smasher:Nairo: Difference between revisions

In the early metagame of ''[[Smash 4]]'', Nairo initially played {{SSB4|Robin}} at a few [[3DS]] events  and eventually added {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} to his roster, first using him at {{Trn|Sky's Smash 4 Invitational}} where he placed 7th and took a notable win over {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}. Eventually, he picked up {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, using her at {{Trn|CLASH Online Invitational Finals}} and {{Trn|Final Battle}} in conjunction with both {{SSB4|Pit}} and Dark Pit.

His strong results continued in 2015 using Zero Suit Samus alongside a few different secondaries such as the aforementioned Robin and Pits and even lower-tiered characters such as {{SSB4|Zelda}}, placing 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2015}}, 7th at {{Trn|KTAR XII}}, and 3rd at {{Trn|EVO 2015}}. EVO 2015 was a notable event in particular as it became the best solo-Zero Suit Samus result seen in ''Smash 4'' at the time and he played against the best ''Smash 4'' player in the world, {{Sm|ZeRo}}, who defeated him in winners.  

After this tournament, the two would compete against each other often and ZeRo would become a notable bracket demon for Nairo, double-eliminating him at both {{Trn|CEO 2015}} and {{Trn|The Big House 5}} where he placed 3rd and 2nd, respectively.

It wasn't until {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}}, where Nairo took out ZeRo in winners top 32 and they would rematch in grand finals where Nairo won, taking the tournament. Nairo's win was arguably one of the most historical moments in ''Smash 4'' history, as it broke ZeRo's 56 tournament win streak and would be the only time ZeRo lost a tournament during 2015. Nairo's strong results continued as he garnered 1st place finishes at a multitude of regionals such as {{Trn|Smash the Record 2015}}, {{Trn|KTAR XIV}}, {{Trn|KTAR XV}}, {{Trn|Dismantle 2}}, and {{Trn|KTAR XVI}}.

By the end of the year, he was in contention for best ''Smash 4'' player in the world, ranking 2nd on the [[PGR v1]], the first ever global ''Smash 4'' ranking.

 

His winning streak ended at {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, as he was upset 2-0 by {{Sm|Hyuga}} in pools. Despite being eliminated early on, he made a strong losers run. He defeated players such as {{Sm|RAIN}}, {{Sm|Ito}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} before Dabuz eliminated him 3-0, placing 5th overall.
