| ==Playstyle==
| | Mr. Doom is an {{SSBB|Ike}} main in the Kansas area in Brawl, and now a Yoshi and Bowser Jr. main in Smash 4 (using Larry as his default costume). He meets with the Wichita Crew often and has attended several tournaments. He is known for being skilled with his characters and playing a rather tightly focused game that some may call repetitive, but is more effective than pure spam. His Ike in Brawl is known for effectively utilizing his jabbing techniques combos, as well as recovering quite well. Mr. Doom's signature kill is an Up B spike, a move he's very proud of. In Smash 4, Mr. Doom displays solid skill with Yoshi, playing and beating many other players in the Wichita area. His Larry is among the best known right now, making great use of the character's aerials and having relative mastery of his set-ups. He also does well in doubles when paired with other Wichita Crew members such as Steeler, Holms and Clel. |

His Ike in ''Brawl'' is known for effectively utilizing his jabbing techniques and combos, as well as recovering quite well. Mr. Doom's signature kill is an [[Aether]] spike, a method of KOing he's very proud of pulling off.

| Mr. Doom is most notable, however, for his extraordinary [[SDI]] capabilities in ''Brawl'', described by players as being [[TAS]]-like, examples of which were shown in several [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyEa_zUXjp8 montages] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND-yi3IPKXM on] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgDF4YyFUBI YouTube]. This led to pulling off particularly exceptional SDI becoming known as "Doom SDI" in the ''Brawl'' community, and when ''Brawl'' players uploaded their own videos showing off exceptional cases of SDI, the videos would often be titled "[smasher's name]'s SDI sucks" in reference to the video titles of Mr. Doom's SDI montages. With the severe [[nerf]]ing of SDI in ''Smash 4'' however, this ability of Mr. Doom would become a lot less prominent. | | Mr. Doom's most notable attribute however, is his ability to repeatedly pull off [[TAS]]like SDI in matches, examples of which were showcased in several [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyEa_zUXjp8 montages] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND-yi3IPKXM on] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgDF4YyFUBI youtube].
