'''NinjaLink''' is a [[smasher]] from Brooklyn, New York. He is mostly known in ''[[Brawl]]'' for being considered one of the best {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} players in the 2008-2010 era, and was the first player to ever defeat {{Sm|Mew2King}}'s {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in a tournament, defeating him in winners bracket at XII.E.S.T.I.C.L.E.. using Diddy Kong. However, despite being known for using Diddy Kong, NinjaLink has expressed that he does not strictly main a single character in the game, but he has a wide variety of characters to his disposal that he has used in tournament at a high level of play.

As of present days, he is mostly known for using {{SSB4|Greninja}} in ''[[Smash 4]]'', and is widely known by other Greninja players for being a pioneer in the character's playstyle fundamentals, as well as being a "sensei", with top Greninja players such as {{Sm|Elexiao}}, {{Sm|iStudying}} and {{Sm|Venia}} going through him and becoming well known in the ''Smash 4'' community under his knowledge. NinjaLink was also among the Greninja players to be voted in for going to [[2GGC: Greninja Saga]], and was featured as one of the judges in the event's combo contest. Like in ''Brawl'', he has a wide variety of characters to his disposal that he uses at a high level, namely {{SSB4|Mega Man}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, with the former of which he used to great success at [[Apex 2015]], placing 13th at the tournament. NinjaLink was formerly ranked 13th on the [[Tristate Power Rankings|Tristate Smash 4 Power Rankings]].

In ''[[Project M]]'', NinjaLink mains {{PM|Link}} but, like in the other two games, he also uses a variety of other characters at a high level such as {{PM|Diddy Kong}}. He has taken sets off of players such as {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Emukiller}} in tournament.
