==History==
==History==
pkmvodka first began playing ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on December 3, 2001, the day of its release in North America. Having previously played the [[Nintendo 64]]'s ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' with a friend, he was highly awaiting its sequel in order to obtain and master its gameplay. It was not until 2003 when he was exposed to the advanced techniques of the game. After watching Taka's ''11k Ganon'' video, his dream was to achieve such a high score, which is presumably where pkmvodka  became a dedicated smasher. The following summer, he got his first gasp of competition outside of Saint-Jérôme at La Ronde, where he failed miserably. However, he was determined to get better at the game.
===The Beginning===
pkmvodka first began playing ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on December 3, 2001, the day of its release in North America. Having previously played the [[Nintendo 64]]'s ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' with a friend, he was highly awaiting its sequel in order to obtain and master its gameplay on his own. It was not until 2003 when he was exposed to the advanced techniques of the game. After watching Taka's ''11k Ganon'' video, his dream was to achieve such a high score, which is presumably where pkmvodka  became a dedicated smasher. The following summer, he got his first gasp of competition outside of Saint-Jérôme at La Ronde, where he failed miserably. However, he was determined to get better at the game.


In spring 2004, pkmvodka met smashers {{Sm|Chesterr01}} and Testrider at a smashfest, only to learn that Testrider was the very player who defeated him in summer 2003. From then on, pkmvodka got exponentially better, meeting with various other players from around Montréal. He quickly became one of the best players in the city.

From thereon, pkmvodka got exponentially better, meeting with various other players from around Montréal. He quickly became one of the best players in the city and eventually, players including chesterr01 gradually became training to him.


In August 2005, pkmvodka attended his first out of state tournament, in Toronto, Ontario. Accompanied by chesterr01, they played against many veteran smashers known from the community including MetaKnight0, jv3x3 and sprocket. pkmvodka ranked fifth in the tournament, bested by jv3x3 in the winner's bracket, and by chesterr01 in loser's bracket. By then, he realized how traveling and tournament presence is important to the evolution of a smasher's skill.

===The Present===
In December 2005, pkmvodka attended No Mercy vs the World, Montreal's first true tournament. This was also the foundation of the [[crew]] No Mercy feat. pkmvodka. He ranked first in singles, fourth in doubles (teaming with a friend who at the time was a casual gamer) and first in crews. This was the beginning of his winning streak; pkmvodka went on to rank first in singles for three tournaments in a row.
