'''Greatness''', formerly '''Gnes''' (which is itself short for '''G'''reat'''nes'''s), is a smasher from Missouri City, Texas. He was most known for playing {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} in ''[[Brawl]]'', where he competed with {{Sm|ADHD}} for the title of best Diddy Kong main in the world for most of ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive life, which he once defeated in the ditto at {{Trn|KTAR 4}}. He was ranked 2nd on the last Texas ''Brawl'' Power Rankings, and was ranked 21st on the [[2014 SSBBRank]], the final global ranking of ''Brawl'' before the release of ''Smash 4'', as the third highest Diddy main (after ADHD and {{Sm|Zinoto}}).
'''Gnes''' is a Diddy Kong player from Texas. Along with {{Sm|ADHD}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}}, the former of which he defeated at KTAR 4, he is considered to be one of the top three Diddy Kong players in the United States. He is currently ranked 2nd and 6th on the Texas ''Brawl'' Power Rankings and Houston ''Smash 4'' Power Rankings, respectively.


In ''[[Smash 4]]'', Greatness was a {{SSB4|Toon Link}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}} main, while he also played {{SSB4|Roy}} in early ''Smash 4'' at a strong level. While he was no longer the top player he was in ''Brawl'', he was formerly ranked 8th on the Summer 2016 Houston ''Smash 4'' Power Rankings, before then becoming inactive in ''Smash 4''{{'}}s later life, with him rarely entering singles after 2016.
==Notable tournament placings==
 
In ''[[Ultimate]]'', he achieved solid regional-level results in the early metagame, maining {{SSBU|Robin}}. He primarily plays in doubles, though since the end of 2019 he has been largely inactive.
