'''CAOTIC''' is an American-Australian {{SSBM|Peach}} player from San Diego, [[California]] currently residing in Eindhoven, [[Netherlands]]. His continuous contributions to competitive ''Smash'' across multiple continents fuels the game's [[tournament]] scene into the present.

==Background==
[[File:OC2.jpg|thumb|300px|0C2 Staff]]

CAOTIC hosted triweekly ''Smash'' tournaments in San Diego throughout 2006 and would ultimately become an influential personality in the overall ''Smash'' scene in southern California. He eventually became a panelist to develop the [[SoCal Power Rankings]] list which has since spawned many flattering imitations in various regions in the world. 

He was instrumental in the conduction of [[Zero Challenge 2]], one of the most global tournaments to date, and in the production and distribution of the accompanying DVD. 

CAOTIC is recognized as a developer of Australia's Smash Bros. communities and has made large and notable contributions to it. He was ranked 13th on the SoCal Power Rankings before he moved to Australia.
