'''Kurabba''' ({{ja|クラッバ|Kurabba}}) is a top level ''[[Smash 64]]'' {{SSB|Yoshi}} [[main]] from Japan. He is considered to be the best Yoshi player in the world (along with {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}) due to his strong placings since mid-2016 and his outplacing of other Yoshis. In 2017 he became known as a {{Sm|Wario}} slayer, having a 5-0 set count in that year against the player that was considered the best in the world prior to his losses against Kurabba.
Kurabba's most well known and impressive tournament run was his 2nd place at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] which lead to him being ranked 3rd on the [[64 League Rankings|2017 64 League Rankings]]. He finally won his first  major at [[Kansai 2020]]

==Tournament history==
===Super Smash Con 2016===
Kurabba was invited as the final sponsored attendee by {{Sm|Shears}}/the 64 community to [[Super Smash Con 2016]] as an alternative after some other top level Japanese players were unable to attend. One of Shear's statements was that he would most likely outplace {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}}, even though he did not make it out of pools at [[Kansai 2016]]. However, other North American players did not know how strong he was as he had not been to an international tournament and Kurabba's lack of internet exposure.

At the tournament, Kurabba easily won pools and made it into the winners side of the bracket. He then took sets off of {{Sm|BarkSanchez}} and unexpectedly, the top player in Peru, {{Sm|Alvin}}, which raised speculation over a common belief that Peru is the best region of ''Smash 64'', let alone a top region. He went on to be knocked out of winners bracket by {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} in Yoshi dittos. Shear's statement was then affirmed after [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMc5xmuy5fA Kurabba eliminated KeroKeroppi] to make it into top 8.  He then lost to his partner {{Sm|wangera}} to place 7th, outplacing the other 2 more well known Japanese Yoshi mains, {{Sm|Prince}} (9th) and {{Sm|bonobono}} (17th).

===After Super Smash Con 2016===
In the following Japanese tournaments in 2016 and 2017, he placed well, consistently placing in the top 12 and outplacing other Yoshi mains. His most notable performance was at [[Kanto 2017]], where he defeated {{Sm|wario}}, who was number 1 seed and considered the best player in the world, twice: first in pools and then eliminating him in round of last 16. Later he lost to {{Sm|Moyashi}} and finished 5th. 

On July 19th, he confirmed via Twitter that he would be attending [[Super Smash Con 2017]]. 

===Super Smash Con 2017===
At [[Super Smash Con 2017]], he made one of the greatest bracket runs in ''Smash 64'' history, defeating {{Sm|Isai}} (playing as Luigi and Link), {{Sm|wario}}, {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and {{Sm|wangera}}, 4 of the greatest players in the world, to make it to grand finals, where he ended up losing to {{Sm|Fukurou}} 1-3 and 2-3 to place 2nd at the most stacked ''Smash 64'' event of all time.

===After Super Smash Con 2017===
Back in Japan he placed 2nd at [[Autumn Kanto Tournament]] only behind {{Sm|kysk}}, double eliminating {{Sm|wario}} again, leading to a 5-0 set count against him in 2017. He won his first national tournament at [[Kansai 2020]] with a 2-1 against {{Sm|Wangera}} in WF and a 2-0 against {{Sm|Sekirei}} in GF.
