'''Jayden | '''Jayden''', or '''Jayden Murphy''', is the top [[Australia]]n ''[[Smash 64]]'' player, his rise to dominance beginning in 2018 after winning both Australian majors that year. He has lost four console tournaments in the country since then (three of which came at the hands of international players), with his lowest placing being 3rd. | ||

Having picked the game up in 2015 after not having played since 2011, Jayden first made waves in the broader Australian scene in March 2016 after | Having picked the game up in 2015 after not having played since his mother sold the family Nintendo 64 in 2011, Jayden first made waves in the broader Australian scene in March 2016 after having joined the country’s netplay Skype group. As a 14-year-old and with no active players in his city, Jayden had to rely almost purely on [[Project64k]], [[Training Mode]] and [[Online play]] to improve. He cites {{Sm|wario}}'s performance at [[GENESIS 3]] as inspiration for picking up {{SSB|Pikachu}}, but plays a variety of characters, and is similarly inspired by the likes of {{Sm|Jouske}}, {{Sm|Isai}}, {{Sm|Kurabba}} and {{Sm|DSC}}. His dedication to his craft is exemplified by his willingness to play during class in high school. | ||
Jayden’s introduction to fierce console competition came a year and two months later, at the renowned [[Battle Arena Melbourne 9]], with {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and the rest of the Australian scene being in attendance. | |||
Jayden’s appearance at [[Super Smash Con 2022]] marked the 5th time (and 4th person total) an Australian has travelled to the US to compete in ''Smash 64'', managing to place 17th in singles with wins over {{Sm|Czar}}, {{Sm|lord narwhal}}, {{Sm|Loto}} and {{Sm|Killer}}. Teaming with lord narwhal in doubles, the two finished 7th with wins over {{Sm|Darkhorse}} & {{Sm|Josh Brody}} and {{Sm|Take}} & {{Sm|Prince}}, and managed to take a game off eventual champions {{Sm|Isai}} & {{Sm|tacos}} in pools. A year later he would return to [[Super Smash Con 2023]] and make Division 1 pools in singles while not advancing, having to face the toughest of opponents such as {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}} (4th place) and {{Sm|Isai}} (winner). In doubles he would team with {{Sm|Shears}} and place 13th with losses to teams such as {{Sm|Queso}} & {{Sm|heny935}}, {{Sm|Paco}} & {{Sm|Shihman}}, {{Sm|tacos}} & {{Sm|Alvin}}, and eventual runners-up {{Sm|Take}} & {{Sm|kysk}}. | |||
