He scored no notable accomplishments in Melee, but became well known once Brawl released due to his work ethic in discovering and understanding the mechanics and data of the game, and rapidly emerging as a contender. In Brawl he helped pioneer the character Marth, and also occasionally played Falco and Metaknight. | ||
In addition to decent placements, Pierce contributed an | In addition to decent placements, Pierce contributed an exhausting amount of research and data to Smashboards in the early stages of the game. More widely known for his knowledge than his skill, he was a member of the Brawl Backroom for a short period of time as the Community Relations Manager, and served as a referee for MLG during Brawl's time on the 2010 circuit. Pierce is also noted for being a coach of great renown. In 2009 and 2010 he coached a number of players in sets they were not expected to have otherwise won, and it stirred a large controversy and debate, eventually resulting in coaching being banned from tournaments. He stepped down from the competitive scene in 2011 after scoring a Bronze at Brainshock Beta. After this, he remained involved in the Smash Community primarily as a commentator for tournaments. | ||
Although a popular caster who has called games for many notable tournaments, including SKTAR and Apex, Pierce's commentary has received criticism in the past. Pierce employs a fast-paced commentary style that switches between play-by-play and analysis on a dime, which has proven to be a polarizing but inarguably experienced method of casting. He often suggests options he considers superior, and many players find this irritating and disrespectful to the players. However, many have praised this, saying that it demonstrates extensive knowledge of the game and gives information on how viewers can improve their playstyle. The most offensive instance of this was during Apex 2012 where Pierce degraded many of the players in a pools set. Afterwards, he issued many apologies and stepped down from casting major events until his return at SKTAR 2 in 2013. Since then, his commentary is much refined, and he was accepted into a partnership with Clash Tournaments as a premier caster. | |||
