Back in the ''Brawl'' era when he was younger and overall significantly less skilled, Omega Tyrant used to focus a lot more on [[read]]s and landing big punishes to overcome deficiencies in his neutral, while depending on strong [[spacing]] tools to keep opponents out. As time went on across the ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' eras, he would slowly transition away from depending on reads to the neutral-heavy style he employs today. During much of ''Smash 4'' he also became a notoriously defensive player who was hard-pressed to initiate approaches, but around the later half of the game he would recognize this and make a more conscious effort to be more aggressive at times, leading to him being more balanced on the aggressive/defensive spectrum nowadays. | Back in the ''Brawl'' era when he was younger and overall significantly less skilled, Omega Tyrant used to focus a lot more on [[read]]s and landing big punishes to overcome deficiencies in his neutral, while depending on strong [[spacing]] tools to keep opponents out.

When Omega Tyrant emerged in the competitive scene during ''Brawl'', he initially had a tri-main squad of {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, {{SSBB|Wolf}}, and {{SSBB|Snake}}, that he used in near-equal measure. While he would keep the former two as co-mains throughout ''Brawl'', he would soon drop Snake after some underperformances with the character, though the Snake would be brought back as a strong secondary near the end of his ''Brawl'' career. In ''Smash 4'' on the other hand, his character usage had a less static history; he initially mained {{SSB4|King Dedede}}, as the only one of three former preferred characters to return, and used him with success for his first few ''Smash 4'' | When Omega Tyrant emerged in the competitive scene during ''Brawl'', he initially had a tri-main squad of {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, {{SSBB|Wolf}}, and {{SSBB|Snake}}, that he used in near-equal measure.

In ''Smash 4'' on the other hand, his character usage had a less static history; he initially mained {{SSB4|King Dedede}}, as the only one of three former preferred characters to return, and used him with success for his first few ''Smash 4'' tournies. However, with the significant [[nerf]]s Dedede suffered and Omega Tyrant feeling that Dedede was a bottom tier character that would hold him back, while finding newfound enjoyment with {{SSB4|R.O.B.}}, he would completely drop Dedede shortly into Smash 4's life. He additionally during the first year of ''Smash 4'' tried to main {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} and use Charizard as a full co-main instead of a secondary, but with the legality of customs falling out of favor, while feeling that he was significantly better with R.O.B., he ended up completely dropping Ganondorf, and nearly dropped Charizard at the start of 2016 until the [[List of updates (SSB4)/1.1.5 changelog#Charizard|1.1.5 patch]] gave him some vital buffs. While he would never commit to Charizard as a serious co-main nor even use him as a real secondary most of the time, he would play Zard heavily throughout ''Smash 4'' and would even use him a few times as a serious counterpick with success, though he would remain a solo R.O.B. main for the most part. | ||
In ''Ultimate'', Omega Tyrant initially had interest in playing some combination of returning main {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, the newly buffed {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, his returning ''Brawl'' main {{SSBU|Wolf}}, and his most wanted newcomer, {{SSBU|Ridley}}. This interest was very brief though, as a couple months into ''Ultimate'' he would go back to focusing entirely on R.O.B., as he finds R.O.B. more fun and viable than ever, thanks to the direct buffs R.O.B. received and how well R.O.B. adapted to Ultimate's universal changes. Omega Tyrant currently remains a solo R.O.B. main, with no other characters he has tried to seriously invest into. | In ''Ultimate'', Omega Tyrant initially had interest in playing some combination of returning main {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, the newly buffed {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, his returning ''Brawl'' main {{SSBU|Wolf}}, and his most wanted newcomer, {{SSBU|Ridley}}.

Since Apex 2012, Omega Tyrant began his strong presence in upstate New York, placing in the money or just outside it in every ''Brawl'' tournament in the region he entered since Apex, and having defeated every active and notable upstate player in a tournament set outside San 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 Apex 2012, Omega Tyrant began his strong presence in upstate New York, placing in the money or just outside it in every ''Brawl'' tournament in the region he entered since Apex, and having defeated every active and notable upstate player in a tournament set outside San and {{Sm|Cura}}.

He attended a few tournaments in [[Tristate Area|NY/NJ]] and occasionally in [[New England]] with fellow Schenectady smasher {{Sm|No Skillz}}. While he usually did not perform poorly in them, he was not able to place beyond a mid placing in the much stronger competition. He later attended {{Trn|Apex 2013}} with No Skillz, and in his bracket pool, he lost to {{Sm|Gunblade}}, then defeated {{Sm|Kiwi}} and another player, before being eliminating by {{Sm|Shadow}}, finishing 5th in his pool and failing to make bracket again.

Omega Tyrant fully reentered the scene upon the release of ''Smash 4'', and immediately emerged as one of upstate New York's strongest ''Smash 4'' players, winning money at each event he entered, and obtaining 1st on the first [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6soP2IIEAAMLIb.jpg:large New York capital region PR].

While he did not attend tournies that frequently throughout the winter and spring of 2015, and rarely attended the local weeklies, he remained one of the strongest players when he did, leading to him getting 2nd in the second Capital Region PR, being only outranked by the recently emerged {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}. | ||
During the summer and fall of 2015, Omega Tyrant went into an unexplained hiatus, showing up to absolutely no tournaments between May and November, while barely playing the game on his own; this led to him completely missing the Capital Region's Summer/Fall 2015 PR. He started showing up to tournaments again in November, though with his skills diminished and the competition being significantly stronger, his tournament performance for the first few months were weaker than they were pre-hiatus. In February 2016, he started regularly attending tournaments again and training more frequently on his own, leading to remarkable improvement and a return to form. Omega Tyrant would go on to keep winning nearly every weekly in his region the rest of the season, and his placings at bigger tournaments kept improving, leading to him getting back on the capital region PR for the Winter/Spring 2016 season, now being ranked third under Dark Wizzy and {{Sm|Marcel}}. | During the summer and fall of 2015, Omega Tyrant went into an unexplained hiatus, showing up to absolutely no tournaments between May and November, while barely playing the game on his own; this led to him completely missing the Capital Region's Summer/Fall 2015 PR.

Over the Summer and Fall of 2016, his dominance over non-Wizzy CR players continued to grow, with it being rare for him to drop sets against them and even rarer to be outplaced by any of them at tournaments, despite his frequent attendance giving them many opportunities to. He additionally started attending tournaments outside his region again in the New England and NY/NJ areas, where he has done consistently well, including making it into the top 48 bracket at {{Trn|KTAR XVIII}} and the even more stacked {{Trn|KTAR XIX}}, as well as placing top 64 at {{Trn|Shine 2017}}, while obtaining wins such as {{Sm|Camalange}}, {{Sm|belaC}}, {{Sm|Chaos}}, {{Sm|Soan}}, and {{Sm|Oatmeal}}. This performance would lead to Omega Tyrant reclaiming his position as the Capital Region's undisputed #2 player under Wizzy, which he would maintain up to his retirement from ''Smash 4'' in early 2018. | Over the Summer and Fall of 2016, his dominance over non-Wizzy CR players continued to grow, with it being rare for him to drop sets against them and even rarer to be outplaced by any of them at tournaments, despite his frequent attendance giving them many opportunities to.

In ''Ultimate'', Omega Tyrant initially stumbled out of the gate, with him underperforming in his first two local tournaments by his standards, including losing to {{Sm|RPIke}} and {{Sm|Quite}}, two CR players he never lost a single set to throughout all of ''Smash 4''. This was short-lived however, as about a month later he would show rapid improvement and win the second RPI monthly, as well as win a 50+ entrant IFN, that had most of the other region's best players in attendance, including taking three sets off of {{Sm|Grunk}} in those two | In ''Ultimate'', Omega Tyrant initially stumbled out of the gate, with him underperforming in his first two local tournaments by his standards, including losing to {{Sm|RPIke}} and {{Sm|Quite}}, two CR players he never lost a single set to throughout all of ''Smash 4''.

This would lead to Omega Tyrant being ranked 4th on the Capital Region's first Ultimate PR, with the PR panelists remarking that he could have reclaimed the #2 spot back from Grunk if he attended more often. Despite enjoying ''Ultimate'' more than any other Smash game and having improved beyond where he was in ''Smash 4'', Omega Tyrant would again go into an activity lapse, only attending a few more sporadic locals after that and winning them all, before disappearing entirely from the offline scene post-August 2019. Also, while Omega Tyrant is a known online player, he has only entered a handful of online tournaments in the post-Covid era. | ||
