'''JAVI''' is a Mexican smasher who mains {{SSBM|Fox}} in ''[[Melee]]''. He is the brother of {{Sm|Tuga}}. He is ranked 1st on the [[Mexican Power Rankings]], and was formerly ranked 37th on the [[2016 SSBMRank]].

==Tournament history==
JAVI is best known for his performance at [[Apex 2012]], which he was able to attend after winning the [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=310962 Ticket To Apex] tournament, getting his flight paid for him. At this tournament, he swept through both rounds of pools and made it into the 64 man bracket, where he was knocked into losers' bracket early by {{Sm|Lovage}}, but managed to defeat {{Sm|Redd}}, {{Sm|Weon-X}}, {{Sm|KoreanDJ}}, {{Sm|VaNz}}, Lovage in a rematch, {{Sm|Hax}}, and finally {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} before being eliminated by {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, taking 4th place in singles. He also placed 33rd in doubles with {{Sm|HugS}}, and participated in the USA vs. The World crew battle as the first player for The World team, though he was taken out by {{Sm|Jman}} in his first battle.

JAVI returned next year to attend [[Apex 2013]], where he placed 13th in singles and 7th in doubles with {{Sm|Aza}}. In singles, he defeated {{Sm|.jpg}}, {{Sm|Darkatma}}, and {{Sm|Leffen}} in the 128 man bracket before being eliminated by {{Sm|Axe}}. After a year and a half of no appearances at major tournaments, JAVI attended [[EVO 2014]]. In the winners' quarters pools, he defeated {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} 2-0 before losing to {{Sm|S2J}} 1-2. He made it into the top 32 by eliminating {{Sm|Mr. Brandandorf}}, but lost to {{Sm|Eddy Mexico}} 0-2, placing 25th in singles.

JAVI, after another 5 or 6 months of no significant appearances, goes to Apex Qualifier [[Forte 2]], along with several other Mexican smashers such as Valdo, Lazh .jpg, {{Sm|Aza}} and {{Sm|Tuga}}. While there, he easily swept through his pools, and served as the final man in the Texas vs. Mexico crew battle, taking out {{Sm|Arc}}'s last stock without losing one. He also defeated {{Sm|MT}} 3-1 in a Money Match using Fox, Sheik and Falcon and won Melee doubles with his brother Tuga, defeating Hungrybox and Arc in Grandfinals without dropping a set the whole time. Afterwards, JAVI surged through his bracket, defeating the likes of {{Sm|Tirno}} 3-0 and {{Sm|MacD}} 3-1 to get into Top 8 on Winner's Side. He then had a nail-biting 5 game set against {{Sm|Hungrybox}} that went down to last stock, but eventually was defeated 3-2. He then defeated Arc 3-0 in loser's quarters before losing 3-1 to Axe in loser's semis, taking 4th place overall. 

JAVI attended [[EVO 2015]] and cruised through pools and make it into top 32 on winners side, but lost to {{Sm|PewPewU}} and {{Sm|Westballz}} immediately to get 17th place. He was able to attend [[The Big House 5]] through the smash compendium. He was notably late for teams forcing his partner {{Sm|Bladewise}} to play with a level 9 Ganondorf. Despite this setback they were able to get 4th place in teams. In top 64 bracket he beat {{Sm|KirbyKaze}} 2-0 in winners before getting 0-3'ed by both {{Sm|Armada}} and Duck to get 17th place. 

JAVI was able to attend [[Tipped Off 11]] through the smash compendium. In top 64 bracket he beat {{Sm|Drephen}} in winners before getting 0-2'ed by {{Sm|The Moon}}. He made a good losers run beating {{Sm|S0ft}}, {{Sm|Wobbles}}, and {{Sm|Jsalt}} to make top 8, then beat {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}} and ESAM before losing to {{Sm|DruggedFox}} in losers semis to get 4th place. He teamed with .jpg and got 5th in teams. JAVI returned to Texas with Aza, Twin, and the rest of Monterrey to attend [[Forte 3]]. He again took teams with Twin without dropping a set. In singles he made it into the top 8 winners qualifier, but lost to {{Sm|Tai}} then lost to Westballz in top 8 getting 5th place.

JAVI was able to attend [[GENESIS 3]] in 2016, but only received 33rd place, getting knocked out by [[Ice]] 0-3 and [[Mike Haze]] 2-3. JAVI also placed top 8 in doubles with Tuga and was part of {{Sm|Axe}}'s team for crew battles. 

JAVI went to [[Low Tier City 4]] in Texas, but missed out on top 8 after losing to {{Sm|Lucky}} and {{Sm|Tai}} again. He also teamed up with {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} and got top 3.

JAVI attended [[EVO 2016]] and made into top 32 winners side, but he lost to {{Sm|Plup}} and S2J and again finished in 17th place.
==Playing style==
JAVI is known for his high level of [[technical skill]], being one of the first {{SSBM|Fox}} mains to consistently utilize the [[double shine]] technique in competitive play. JAVI is considered one of the best Fox players in [[ditto match|ditto]]s and the {{SSBM|Falco}} matchup, taking sets off of several famed [[space animal]] players in tournament such as {{Sm|PPMD}}. He however does poorly in the {{SSBM|Samus}} matchup similar to {{Sm|Leffen}} having lost sets to {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Duck}}. He holds the controller in an unusual way compared to most others, playing "claw" as if he was using a fight stick. Due to this style, he grabs less often than most other Fox mains.
