'''Ice''' is a German [[smasher]] located in the Berlin area, regarded as the best German player of all time. He was a major competitor in German tournaments before going international and making strong impacts; his most notable showings were a 7th place finish at {{Trn|EVO 2013}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 3}} and 3rd at {{Trn|The Big House 6}}, the latter being his best performance at an international tournament so far. He was considered to be one of the best ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Sheik}} mains in the world along with {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, and {{Sm|Overtriforce}} before his switch to {{SSBM|Fox}}. He is known for his prowess in the Fox, Marth, and Sheik matchups, and has taken sets off of top professionals such as {{Sm|Zhu}}, {{Sm|Hax}}, Overtriforce, {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Westballz}}, and even {{Sm|Leffen}} in Fox [[Ditto match|dittos]] in tournament. Ice was most recently ranked 2nd on the [[German Melee Power Rankings]] and 3rd on the [[European Melee Power Rankings]]; he was also formerly ranked in the S Tier on [[MPGRContenders Europe]].

On October 21st 2016, [[Luminosity Gaming]] picked up Ice as their first [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] player and second overall Smash player. Ice left the team on October 19, 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Ice_Fights/status/920941997761982465|title=Ice leaves Luminosity Gaming}}</ref> On March 2nd, 2018, Ice was picked up as a {{Team|Red Bull}} athlete.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Ice_Fights/status/969645910547460099|title=Ice picked up by Red Bull Esports}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.redbull.com/de-de/mustafa-ice-akcakaya-interview|title="Mustafa "Ice" Akcakaya - Interview mit dem Smash-Profi" - Red Bull Esports}}</ref> He joined Cologne Gaming Network on December 8th, 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Ice_Fights/status/1203730085557293056|title="Ice joins Cologne Gaming Network"}}</ref>
 
Ice quietly retired from competitive ''Smash'' after the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} (citing lack of motivation, stemming from the quality of top-level practice readily available to North American players compared to Europeans); in the post-[[Slippi]] era, he continues to recreationally practice ''Melee'' with Europe's top players.

==Playing style==
Informally known as the "European {{Sm|Mew2King}}", Ice is one of the top Fox mains in the world, and used to be one of the best Sheik and Marth mains in Europe. Between all of his characters, Ice is extremely smooth and consistent in his [[tech skill]], rarely missing inputs or SDing. As Sheik and Marth, Ice is known for creative and lethal punishes, solid movement, consistent edgeguards, and proficient [[tech chase]]s and [[chaingrab]]s. Ice's Sheik in particular was much more aggressive than those of other Sheik mains, as he frequently opted for dash attack and down tilt reads that would lead into highly damaging strings. As Fox, Ice retains his powerful punishes, edgeguarding, and general aggression, but also showcases his extremely high technical proficiency to the fullest extent, especially with [[shine]] and aerial pressure on the opponent's shield. He has also one of the best tech reactions in the game, as pointed out by {{Sm|TheCrimsonBlur}} at [[The Big House 6]] (he called Ice "The Best Techer in Smash").
