'''Omega Tyrant''' is a semi-professional [[upstate New York]] [[smasher]] who has contributed extensively to Smash knowledge and actively participates in tournaments. On SmashWiki, he is an administrator and has added a large amount of information, such as finding the information for the [[forward smash chart#Chart (SSBB)|forward smash chart]], [[down smash chart]], and [[up smash chart]], testing the full ingame mechanics of [[priority]], and the [[momentum canceling]] abilities of every character. He's currently in the process of testing the knockback values of every attack of each character, to objectively measure the power of each character's moveset.

In tournament play, he comains the unusual combination of {{SSBB|Wolf}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, though only plays Dedede in doubles play. finding his Dedede style much more transitional to doubles play. He loves to fully utilise Wolf's outstanding mobility, focusing on constant moving and frequent [[space]]d [[back aerial]]s and [[forward aerial]]s, while trying to open up [[DACUS]] opportunities and potential [[down throw]] [[chain throw|chains]] and [[tech chase]]s. With Dedede, he utilises a more methodical style reliant on [[pressure|pressuring]] the opponent, making heavy use of [[out of shield]] punishes as well as spaced bairs and full hopped [[dair]]s when in close, while attempting to [[bait]] an opportunity to land a [[grab]] or [[up tilt]] when the opponent is at [[KO]] percent. Omega Tyrant's tech skill is not great, and he is heavily prone to input mistakes. As such, he relies on outsmarting the opponent and utilising superior use of his character's moveset to win.

Omega Tyrant used to main {{SSBB|Snake}} in addition to his comains. But after repeated failures in important tournament matches and performing at an apparent lower level than his Wolf and Dedede, he dropped Snake to focus more on the characters that brought him his tournament success. Omega Tyrant also plays a particularly competent {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, that he often plays in friendlies, and employs in [[low tier tournament]]s and matches.

As a person, he's notoriously quiet, rarely speaking at tournaments beyond necessary interaction. He has a nonchalant attitude, showing little emotion when playing, and taking losses in stride. 

Omega Tyrant is currently ranked 5th in the [[New York Power Rankings]] for ''Brawl''. While he's one of the strongest players in upstate New York, he has yet to obtain any significant placings in tournaments outside his region.

==History==
Omega Tyrant entered the competitive scene rather late, only entering his first tournament in November 2011. Around this time, he was making plans to attend [[Apex 2012]], where he found the [[AllisBrawl]] tournament page for [[BEST#5th BEST|5th BEST]], and seen that it was being held in a neighboring city. After he posted on the tournament page expressing his interest in attending, he was contacted by the [[tournament director]] {{Sm|Calm}}, who would introduce him to the nearby competitive scene in upstate New York. Shortly afterward, he was able to join the Albany/Troy carpool to [[ASX#ASX3|ASX3]] to enter his first tournament. He was able to do rather well in his first tournament, defeating Canadian smasher {{Sm|Phiddlesticks}} and {{SSBB|Yoshi}} player {{Sm|Sharky}}, before being decimated by {{Sm|San}}, and being eliminated by {{Sm|Metal Pat}} in losers, obtaining an overall 9th placing out of 32 participants. After ASX3, he attended 5th BEST, where in only his second tournament, he was able to place in the money, claiming 4th out 21 players, defeating Calm and {{SSBB|Falco}} player {{Sm|CAC}}, while losing to {{Sm|Fatal}} in winners and being eliminated by {{SSBB|Marth}} player {{Sm|Vibe}} in loser semi-finals. Omega Tyrant would then attend Apex 2012 with San, Sharky, {{Sm|Pika Pika!}}, and {{Sm|KID Goggles}}. He failed to accomplish much at Apex, being eliminated in first round pools having placed fourth, losing to {{Sm|Zex}}, {{Sm|Hylian}}, and Z0MFG, but avoided a last placing by defeating Colorado smasher {{Sm|deathbysuarez}}.

Since Apex 2012, Omega Tyrant began his strong presence in upstate New York, placing in the money or just outside it in every tournament in the region since Apex, and having defeated every active and notable upstate player in a tournament set outside San, Pika Pika!, and {{Sm|Cura}}. Within just six months of his tournament debut, he managed to get ranked on [[New York Power Rankings|his region's]] [[Power Rankings]].

Since June 2012, he has also started attending tournaments in [[NY/NJ]] and occasionally in [[New England]] with fellow Schenectady smasher {{Sm|No Skillz}}. While he usually doesn't perform poorly in them, he has not been able to place beyond a mid placing in the much stronger competition.

===Notes===
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Omega Tyrant was forced to split grand finals with Cura, as the venue closed before they could play the set.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> Omega Tyrant was not yet eliminated when low tier singles was no longer able to continue from the venue closing.

==Trivia==
*Omega Tyrant enjoys playing [[Brawl Minus]], vastly preferring it to the other mods of ''Brawl'', for it feeling like a completely different Smash game in his opinion.
