| '''Marcus''', also known as '''The Great Gonzales''' and '''YoutubeMan''', is an ''[[Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} player from [[New Jersey]], and was considered to be one of the best players in New Jersey. Marcus initially mained {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}. However, after the initial month of the game, he switched to {{SSBU|Palutena}}. He achieved large success on the local and regional level, but did not make a national breakout performance until {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}. Marcus has wins over {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Rivers}}, {{Sm|Wishes}}, {{Sm|LeoN}}, {{Sm|ScAtt}}, {{Sm|Suarez}}, {{Sm|Gackt}}, and {{Sm|Jakal}}, as well as numerous sets on the rest of Tristate's best players. He is currently ranked 7th on the [[New Jersey Ultimate Power Rankings]] and was formerly ranked 43rd on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]].
| | The Great Gonzales is currently ranked 3rd on the [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]]. He has taken sets off of players such as {{Sm|James}}, {{Sm|Vivid}}, {{Sm|Mr.E}}, {{Sm|Zoan}}, {{Sm|Pugwest}}, {{Sm|Pink Fresh}}, {{Sm|WaDi}}, {{Sm|Scatt}}, {{Sm|Biddy}} and {{Sm|Salem}}. |

| In ''[[Smash 4]]'', Marcus was formerly one of the best {{SSB4|Ness}} players in the United States. He is well known for his performance in ''Smash 4'' at {{Trn|Royal Flush}}, where he placed 5th. Marcus was ranked 11th on the final [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]], uncharacteristically low due to lack of motivation by the end of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s lifespan. He has taken sets off of players such as Rivers, Wishes, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|Mr. E}}, {{Sm|Lima}}, {{Sm|WaDi}}, ScAtt, and {{Sm|Salem}}.
