== | == Tournament performance == | ||
KishPrime's major accomplishments include 3rd and 4th place at consecutive MLG National Championships for Teams with his partner [[KishSquared]]. Their team is usually called [[KishWho?]]. At MLG Chicago in the final season, [[KishWho?]] defeated the Newlyweds and [[King]] and [[PC Chris]] and placed sixth after forfeiting the tiebreaker. His only first place in a major singles tournament was at Fools Rush In 2, where he defeated [[Mathos]], [[Dope]], and [[Tink]] twice to take first. | |||

He | He placed 17th at [[MELEE-FC|MELEE-FC 6]] out of 206 competitors and 25th at [[MELEE-FC|MELEE-FCD]] out of approximately 250. | ||
== Influence on tournament rules == | |||
KishPrime has been a major contributor to the defining of tournament standards for many years. He brought the neutral stage list and advanced slobs counterpicks into the Midwest from the East Coast, while slightly revising them and pushing for an open stage list for counterpicks. Stage bans were developed in the context of these discussions in the Midwest. His [[MELEE-FC]] ruleset was considered the best of its day, and was used at MLG with a slightly changed ban rule, which soon returned to a permanent stage strike. The MLG rules were generally considered to be the national standard until it was disbanded. | |||
He also helped to define the crew rules first devised by [[KishSquared]] into what they are today. He first proposed for crew counterpicks that allowed for a stage selection by the entering player, while allowing a character change in response. | |||
== | == Influence on Jigglypuff == | ||
While KishPrime was one of the first Jigglypuff [[mains]] in tournament play, he actually contributed very little. [[AOB]] was far more widely known at the time due to the abundance of his videos, and performed better for much of KishPrime's earliest playing days. His most notable contribution was the introduction of the rising pound recovery, which is cited by [[AOB]] in his video PuffStuff, one of the most watched Jigglypuff videos of all time. | |||
His style was dubbed by [[Neo]] "air camping," and it is quite fitting. It is a constant use of the [[Wall of Pain]], utilizing both distance and spacing to keep away from the opponent while using her multiple jumps to stay airborne. Few Jigglypuff players seek to emulate this style, so it is not a huge influence on the scene. | |||
KishPrime's doubles play briefly gained notoriety after [[KishWho?|KishWho?'s]] 4th place finish at the 2005 MLG National Championships, and served as a template for team rest setups for many players thereafter. | |||
=== | == Community contributions == | ||
He participated in the [[Smash Panel Power Rankings]] project from its inception to its close, and was one of the three who led the panel after the retirement of [[Chillindude]]. Though it came the closest to true national rankings of any other such project, it was finally disbanded after backlash from the community demonstrated that the effort was not appreciated. | |||
[[Category:Jigglypuff | After this effort, KishPrime fought for the establishment of regional power rankings, which are now successfully run in many areas of the country. He personally ran the [[Midwest Power Rankings]] for some time before passing them on. | ||
KishPrime is a moderator of the Midwest regional forum, along with [[AlphaZealot]]. | |||
The National Circuit project was started by KishPrime in March of 2007, and is continuing to be developed as regions around the country begin to form their own circuits following the vacuum that [[MLG]] has left. As the [[Midwest Circuit]] was the pioneer circuit, it remains to be seen if the National Circuit develops just as well. | |||
