'''Nairo''' is an American professional [[smasher]] who mains {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''[[Brawl]]'', {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} in ''[[Smash 4]]'', and {{SSBU|Palutena}} in ''[[Ultimate]]''.  He is the younger brother of {{Sm|Ksizzle}}. He is known for being among the youngest, yet one of the most successful smashers to compete in tournaments. He was considered the best ''Brawl'' player in North America at the end of the game's active lifespan in 2014, as is still widely considered to be one of the best ''Brawl'' players in the world. He is also the best ''Smash 4'' Zero Suit Samus and Bowser player in the world, and the best ''Ultimate'' Palutena player in the world.  

In ''Brawl'', Nairo is known for his highly aggressive Meta Knight style, which is at least partly responsible for his great proficiency against {{SSBB|Olimar}} players. He frequently teamed with {{Sm|ADHD}} in doubles, where Nairo used his aggressive style to overwhelm opponents while ADHD created stage control with {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}'s [[Banana Peel]]s. The team was considered to be the most powerful doubles force in ''Brawl'', having won {{Trn|Apex 2013}}, {{Trn|SKTAR 2}}, {{Trn|Apex 2014}}, {{Trn|SKTAR 3}}, and {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2016}}.

<!--Nairo gained national recognition at {{Trn|Apex 2012}}, defeating top players such as {{Sm|Nietono}}, before losing to {{Sm|Otori}} in Winners' Finals and Nietono in Losers' Finals, placing 3rd out of 400 entrants. He won his first national tournament later that year at {{Trn|SKTAR}}, defeating {{Sm|ESAM}} in Winners' Finals 3-1 and Grand Finals 3-0. At Apex 2013, Nairo was knocked out of Winners' early by {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, but climbed up through his Losers' bracket, knocking out {{Sm|Havok}}, {{Sm|RAIN}}, {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|Mr. R}}, and {{Sm|Anti}} in the process. Nairo eventually faced Otori in Losers' Semis in a long-awaited rematch, but lost the set 2-3, placing 4th out of 338 entrants. Nairo saw another major victory at {{Trn|Apex 2014}}, where he defeated ESAM in a rematch from SKTAR, and other top players, such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} and ZeRo, two of the best Meta Knights in the world.-->

Nairo is considered to be one of the top five ''Smash 4'' players in the world. At {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, he placed 3rd in {{forwiiu}} singles. He defeated Mr. R 2-0 in Winners' Semis, but then lost to ZeRo 0-3 in Winners' Finals, after almost winning the first 2 games, but missing the KO in both games after hitting with Zero Suit Samus's paralyzer. He then lost his rematch with Mr. R 2-3 in Losers' Finals. He has also used {{SSB4|Bowser}}, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSB4|Lucina}}, {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}, {{SSB4|Pit}}, {{SSB4|Robin}}, and even low tier characters such as {{SSB4|Zelda}} and {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}} at a very high level as well.  

He was the only player to eliminate ZeRo in a ''Smash 4'' tournament in 2015 and the first to double eliminate him, ending the latter's 56 win streak at {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}}. After losing in Winners' Semis to ESAM 1-3, Nairo climbed through the losers' bracket, beating Mr. R 3-0, Ally 3-1, and ESAM 3-0 in Losers' Finals with a surprising character choice of Dr. Mario. This marked the first time Nairo had taken a set from ESAM in ''Smash 4'' as well. In Grand Finals, Nairo won the first set 3-2 and won the second set 3-1 against ZeRo's Sheik and Diddy Kong, ending ZeRo's winning streak.

Nairo is currently ranked 2nd on the  [[New Jersey Ultimate Power Rankings]], 1st on the [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]], 1st on the [[2018-2019 SSBBRank]], 4th on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]], and 2nd on the [[PGR 100|Panda Global Rankings 100]]. He was ranked 4th on the final [[Tristate Power Rankings|Tristate Brawl Power Rankings]].

Nairo was signed on by {{Team|Team Liquid}} from August 11th, 2015 through August 16th, 2016. On August 24th, 2016, Nairo signed with {{Team|NRG Esports}}, renewing his contract with them on October 11th, 2017, then again on December 8th, 2019. Following accusations of having a relationship with CaptainZack, NRG cut all ties with him <ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/NRGgg/status/1278696228100771840|title=NRG cutting ties with Nairo}}</ref>.

Nairo, across all the Smash titles, is characterized for his gameplay as fast, vicious, and aggressive.  

He mains {{SSBU|Palutena}} and plays with heavy emphasis on combo game and edgeguarding. Some aspects of his play have been improved due to the switch of character, as now with Palutena's relatively safe grab compared to Zero Suit Samus's, Nairo has many more opportunities to access his strong punish game and to make up for his neutral. He still mains {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}, but due to the removal of her grab and ladder combos, he uses her much less often and occasionally uses her as a counterpick.

===Making himself known in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===

Nairo gained national recognition at [[Apex 2012]], defeating top players such as {{Sm|Nietono}}, before losing to {{Sm|Otori}} in Winners' Finals and Nietono in Losers' Finals, placing 3rd out of 400 entrants. He won his first national tournament later that year at {{b|SKTAR|tournament}}, defeating {{Sm|ESAM}} in Winners' Finals 3-1 and Grand Finals 3-0.

At [[Apex 2013]], Nairo was knocked out of Winners' early by {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, but climbed up through his Losers' bracket, knocking out {{Sm|Havok}}, {{Sm|RAIN}}, {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|Mr. R}}, and {{Sm|Anti}} in the process. Nairo eventually faced Otori in Losers' Semis in a long-awaited rematch, but lost the set 2-3, placing 4th out of 338 entrants.

Nairo saw another major victory at [[Apex 2014]], where he defeated ESAM in a rematch from SKTAR, and other top players, such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} and ZeRo, two of the best Meta Knights in the world.

 

Even in his time in ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'' and when both respective games decreased the popularity of competitive ''Brawl'', Nairo still attends singles in tournaments that host it such as [[Tournament: Super Smash Con (series)|Super Smash Con]], continuing his strong results with 1st and Top 8 at worst placements.

In the early metagame of ''[[Smash 4]]'' and before his Top 3 player status, Nairo initially started as a {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} main, first using him at {{Trn|Sky's Smash 4 Invitational}} where he beat {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} (called DEHF at the time) 2-1, but was eliminated by {{Sm|NAKAT}}, placing 7th at the event. He later picked up {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, using her at {{Trn|CLASH Online Invitational Finals}} and {{Trn|Final Battle}} in conjunction with both Dark Pit and {{SSB4|Pit}}, and ZSS became the character he was known for.

His strong results continued in the transition to 2015. He placed 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2015}}, 7th at {{Trn|KTAR XII}} and later placed 2nd at {{Trn|CEO 2015}}. In the last example, he was defeated by {{Sm|ZeRo}} in both Winners Finals and Grand Finals. He also had two 3rd place finishes at both {{Trn|EVO 2015}} and {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2015}}.

He placed 2nd at {{Trn|The Big House 5}}, losing again to ZeRo who reset the bracket in grand finals 3-0 then won the second set 3-2.  

As noted, he constantly lost to ZeRo during tournaments until {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}} where his win was arguably one of the most historical in ''Smash 4'''s history, as he would upset him in grand finals, breaking his 56 win streak, which was the only time ZeRo was eliminated out of a tournament during 2015. His strong results would continue soon after as he gathered a few 1st place finishes at {{Trn|Smash the Record 2015}}, {{Trn|KTAR XIV}}, {{Trn|KTAR XV}}, {{Trn|Dismantle 2}}, and {{Trn|KTAR XVI}}.

It wasn't until {{Trn|GENESIS 3}} where this streak would end, being sent to losers bracket relatively early in a 2-0 upset by {{Sm|Hyuga}}, he later had a strong losers run taking out {{Sm|RAIN}}, {{Sm|Ito}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} before Dabuz eliminated him 3-0. Despite his early elimination from losers, Nairo still finished with a placement of 5th.

In 2016 he would continue his strong results although he had a few lower placings, most noticeably with {{Trn|Pound 2016}} being his worst placement in a ''Smash 4'' tournament during the game's prime, being sent to losers round 1 by {{Sm|saj}} 2-1 and then being eliminated from the tournament by {{Sm|Mr.II}} in another 2-1 set, ending with a placement of 49th. However, this wouldn't mean much as a month later he placed 1st at {{Trn|MomoCon 2016}}, beating Ally 3-2.  

Similarly, he had placements of 17th at {{Trn|CEO 2016}} and 13th at {{Trn|EVO 2017}}, but then win 1st place at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2016}}, taking out 6WX 3-1, both {{Sm|VoiD}} and Mr.R 3-2, and Dabuz 3-1.  

Afterwards, he would finish in 7th place at {{Trn|The Big House 6}}, 2nd at {{Trn|Smash the Record 2016}} where he lost to ESAM 3-2 in grand finals, 4th at both {{Trn|KTAR XIX}} and {{Trn|UGC Smash Open}}, and ended the year with {{Trn|2GGT: ZeRo Saga}} where he placed 5th after losing to ZeRo 3-1.

Nairo would later become a much stronger player in 2017 as after his 17th placement at {{Trn|GENESIS 4}}, he would later win both [[Umebura Tokaigi Qualifiers]] and {{Trn|Niconico Tokaigi 2017}} where he won against Ally and many top Japanese players such as {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, and {{Sm|Kirihara}}.  

Not long after he placed 3rd at {{Trn|Frostbite 2017}} in which he defeated {{Sm|MVD}} 2-0, {{Sm|WaDi}} and {{Sm|Mr E}} 3-1, before being sent to losers by ZeRo in a 3-0 set. In losers, he won against {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-2 and Dabuz 3-0 before losing to ZeRo again in a 3-1 set during losers finals.

At {{Trn|MomoCon 2017}} he was able to place 1st at the event, defeating players such as {{Sm|Myran}} 3-2, VoiD 3-0, {{Sm|Kameme}} and ZeRo 3-1, and Fatality in a close 3-2 set at grand finals.

At {{Trn|CEO 2017}}, he defeated {{Sm|CaptainZack}} and {{Sm|Salem}} 3-0 before being sent to losers by Larry Lurr 3-1, and then in losers he won against CaptainZack again in another 3-0 set until being eliminated by {{Sm|MkLeo}} 3-1, ending with a placement of 4th.  

Nairo later attended {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2017}} and took out many players such as CaptainZack 3-0, Ally and Dabuz 3-1, and ZeRo and Larry Lurr 3-2. His two losses were both from {{Sm|Salem}} in a 3-0 and 3-1 set, giving him a placement of 4th.

After losing 2-1 to {{Sm|Rideae}} at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2017}}, Nairo went on a lengthy losers run during the event. He defeated {{Sm|Rich Brown}} 2-0, {{Sm|Sinji}} 3-1, {{Sm|komorikiri}} 3-0, {{Sm|Tweek}}, VoiD, and {{Sm|Rivers}} (called Shoyo James at the time) 3-1, {{Sm|WaDi}} 3-2, {{Sm|Mr.R}} and MkLeo 3-1, and placed 1st after winning in two 3-2 sets against ZeRo in grand finals.

Another great placement happened at {{Trn|Shine 2017}}, where he won against {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} 2-1, {{Sm|ANTi}} and Larry Lurr 3-2, Salem 3-1 until losing to both ZeRo and Tweek 3-1, ending his tournament run at 3rd place.

At {{Trn|2GGC: Fire Emblem Saga}}, he defeated WaDi 3-0 and Kirihara 3-1 until being sent to losers bracket by Salem 3-2. In losers, he continued to defeat VoiD 3-0, Tweek and komorikiri 3-1 before losing to Salem again in a close 3-2 set in grand finals, placing 2nd at the event.

He later placed 4th at another 2CCG event, {{Trn|2GGC: MkLeo Saga}}, in which after winning against Kirihara 3-1, he was sent to losers by Tweek 3-1. His losers run had him win against Abadango 3-0 and WaDi 3-2 before KEN eliminated him in a 3-1 set. These two events and a few other 2GGC tournaments allowed Nairo to qualify for {{Trn|2GG Championship}} and will later place 10th.

His last tournament of 2017 was {{Trn|Smash 4 Boot Camp}} where he was one of the 10 players invited to the event by VGBootCamp themselves. He would later place 2nd out of the 16 entrants after losing to Salem in grand finals.

Following ZeRo's retirement, Nairo was one of the contenders for the number one spot alongside MkLeo. At {{Trn|GENESIS 5}}, despite falling to {{Sm|Legit}} before Top 8, Nairo was able to make an impressive losers run, defeating {{Sm|Zenyou}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, and {{Sm|MVD}} before falling to {{Sm|Mistake}}, placing 4th. After that, Nairo continued to be a tough competitior for the throne as he was consistently placing in the top 4 at every major he attended, claiming victory at tournaments such as {{Trn|Niconico Tokaigi 2018}} and {{Trn|Smash Masters League: Battle for Vegas}}, defeating MkLeo at both. MkLeo, in turn, defeated Nairo at both {{Trn|SwitchFest}} and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2018}}. For the first few months of the season, it wasn't clear whether MkLeo or Nairo would come out on top.

However, Nairo would eventually fall behind, placing 17th at the two biggest tournaments of the season: {{Trn|2GG: Hyrule Saga}} and {{Trn|CEO 2018}}, losing to Light and Mr.R in the former and Abadango and Elegant in the latter. Most likely due to those placements, Nairo would ultimately be ranked 4th - the first time he was not top 3 - behind {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, players who had a more consistent season.

Nairo's overall performance continued to decline as he fell to MVD and Zenyou at {{Trn|EVO 2018}} and placed 33rd, his second worst placement at a major in ''Smash 4''. Furthermore, Nairo would fail to defend his title at both {{Trn|MomoCon 2018}} and {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}, breaking his two-year win streak at both events. In the former, he was defeated by {{Sm|Salem}} and {{Sm|komorikiri}}, placing 4th, while in the latter, he was defeated by {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Cosmos}}, placing 5th. With ''Ultimate'' on the horizon, Nairo stopped attending major tournaments after Super Smash Con 2018.

In the early metagame of ''Ultimate'', Nairo continued his status as a top player. He switched his main to {{SSBU|Palutena}} while occasionally using {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} as his secondary. He quickly became known as the best Palutena player, placing 2nd at both {{Trn|NYXL Pop-Up!}} and {{Trn|Glitch 6}}, as well as 5th at {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves}}, defeating players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Samsora}}, and {{Sm|Dabuz}} along the way.

His best performance of the first season was at {{Trn|Collision 2019}}. After being sent to losers by {{Sm|Marss}} right before top 8, Nairo would tear through the bracket, defeating {{Sm|Mr.R}}, {{Sm|Sinji}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} (in a famous reverse 3-0 with {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}), and {{Sm|Frozen}}, before resetting the bracket against Marss. He then lost the reset, placing 2nd.

However, his overall initial results, while impressive, weren't as good as his ''Smash 4'' days. Similar to the first season of 2018, Nairo would place 17th at the 2 biggest majors of the season, {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} and {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, falling to {{Sm|Cosmos}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}} in the former and {{Sm|VoiD}} and {{Sm|NAKAT}} in the latter. Although he would continue to consistenly place in the top 8 at big tournaments, he failed to take 1st place at any of them besides a victory at the C-tier {{Trn|Suplex City Smash}}, with his strongest performances at majors being a 4th place finish at {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}} and a couple of 5th place finishes at both {{Trn|Get On My Level 2019}} and {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}}. Nairo continuously fell to familiar foes, most notably Marss. By the end of the season, Nairo was ranked 8th, the first time he was not ranked in the top 5 in any global ranking.

Fortunately, things turned around for Nairo in the second season. Despite starting off the season with a 17th at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, losing to Mr.R and Marss, Nairo would place in the top 6 at every tournament he attended up until the final major of the season {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}}. In addition, he started winning sets against several of his bracket demons, for example defeating Marss at {{Trn|Shine 2019}} and {{Trn|Mainstage}}. His best achievement was finally claiming victory at a major, doing so at Mainstage, where he would defeat MkLeo after he reset the bracket and becoming one of 6 players to defeat MkLeo that season. When the season was over, Nairo would return to the top 5, being ranked 4th.

===2020: The Final Year===

Nairo would start the third season strong. Despite losing to {{Sm|Dabuz}} in winner's quarterfinals at {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves}}, Nairo would make an incredible losers run, defeating several top players including {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Tea}}, and {{Sm|Kameme}}, before double eliminating Dabuz, claiming his second victory at a supermajor.

Following this, however, he would place 9th at the next 2 majors: {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} and {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}. In the former, he was sent to losers by {{Sm|ESAM}} and notoriously eliminated by {{Sm|Glutonny}} after he performed a zero-to-death waft combo during the last game. In the latter, he was sent to the losers bracket by {{Sm|Tweek}} in winner's quarterfinals and subsequently eliminated by {{Sm|MkLeo}} in the losers side top 8 qualifier.

As a result of the [[COVID-19|COVID-19 pandemic]], Nairo was unable to attend any other tournaments. During the quarantine period, Nairo would only make appearances at {{Trn|Soaked Series Invitational}} and tournaments in {{Trn|The Quarantine Series|series}}.

*Interestingly enough, despite his older brother {{Sm|Ksizzle}} having been known to be one of {{Sm|Ally}}'s hardest opponents to play in tournament during his prime, Nairo failed to take a set from Ally in ''[[Brawl]]'' singles for four years despite having surpassed his brother since then. However, at [[Apex 2015]], Nairo managed to beat Ally in tournament for the first time in Winners Semis, although he ultimately ended up losing both sets of Grand Finals to Ally.

*Nairo is known for his frequent trash-talking in his Twitch streams and YouTube videos, which has been noted for being humorous.
