'''Rivers''', formerly known as '''Shoyo James''', is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} player with a {{SSBU|Chrom}} secondary from Howell, New Jersey. He is considered one of the best Diddy Kong players in the United States and the best Chrom player in the world during the early metagame. He has wins against top players such as {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|VoiD}}, {{Sm|Myran}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Mr. E}}, and {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}. Rivers was formerly ranked 5th on the [[New Jersey Ultimate Power Rankings]], 49th on the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v6]], and 18th on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]]. He was also one of the main [[tournament director]]s for the New Jersey scene. | |||
In {{forwiiu}}, he was a {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} main with a {{SSB4|Luigi}} secondary. He has taken sets off of top players such as Tweek, {{Sm|Elegant}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, {{Sm|Darkshad}}, Mr. E, and {{Sm|Zinoto}}, and is ranked 54th on the [[PGR 100|Panda Global Rankings 100]]. Near the end of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s lifespan, Rivers entered semi-retirement due to medical conditions. In an interview with {{Sm|ZeRo}} at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 4}}, Rivers revealed that he suffers from tendonitis and thus doesn't enter many tournaments. More recently, Rivers has switched to the Switch Pro Controller for a more ergonomic control scheme and has begun to compete again in ''Ultimate''. | |||
