RockCrock began playing ''Melee'' competitively in 2003 and quickly rose to become the best Fox player in Florida. He often trained with his brother Andrew ({{sm|UberIce}}), {{sm|Phanna}}, and the brothers {{sm|DaShizWiz}}, {{sm|KeepSpeedN}}, and {{sm|SmashMac}}. Early after changing his main to Ganondorf, he often teamed with friend and fellow smasher {{sm|QueenDVS}}, playing under the team name "ThunderSkullTip".

He often trained with his brother Andrew ({{sm|UberIce}}), {{sm|Phanna}}, and the brothers {{sm|DaShizWiz}}, {{sm|KeepSpeedN}}, and {{sm|SmashMac}}. Early after changing his main to Ganondorf, he often teamed with friend and fellow smasher {{sm|QueenDVS}}, playing under the team name "ThunderSkullTip". He hosted many tournaments in his home town of Ft. Myers, FL, and earned the Tournament Director title on SmashBoards. He began attending the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL in Fall 2007, and played with the likes of {{sm|Exarch}}, {{sm|Derf}}, {{sm|SubScorpion}}, and {{sm|Harriettheguy}}. When ''Brawl'' came out, he tried to play as his favorite video game character, Sonic, but became very disheartened with the way that ''Brawl'' turned out, and now rarely plays it anymore. He then played ''Melee'' with a crew consisting of himself, Harriettheguy, {{sm|BladeOfApollo}}, {{sm|Raistlin}}, and other smashers in Gainesville. Because his usual team partner, {{sm|QueenDVS}} went to the University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL, RockCrock often enters doubles with Harriettheguy as his teammate. He has also began to play Project M and mains Sonic in the game; however, he is dissatisfied of the recent lack of PM in Florida and the competitive scene in general because of the recent issues that have surrounded the mod and Nintendo. | ||
