RockCrock is now arguably one of the best Ganondorf players in the United States. He currently attends college at the University of Florida.


==History==
=='''History'''==
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 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]]'' was released, 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, RockCrock often entered doubles with Harriettheguy as his teammate. He 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.

==Sexual misconduct allegations==
{{incomplete|More elaboration needed on ban/controversy}}
In July 2020, RockCrock was accused of rape and of having an inappropriate relationship with a minor, the latter of which was denied by the alleged victim and her family.<ref>https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra4pj</ref><ref>https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra7ks</ref> He was banned from entering events run by Polarity.<ref>https://twitter.com/PolarityGG/status/1278884906710466561</ref>


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The phrase Rockcrocking was named after RockCrock himself, but after his aforementioned allegations, the [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Ganondorf]] communities decided to change the name to [[Tech Check]].
*RockCrock's name is not derived from the critter in Donkey Kong Country. He instead thought of the name after searching for a tag to play as in WarCraft 2, and "thought RockCrock sounded cool."
 
*RockCrock is the creator of the "RockCrock Combo", which is hitting someone with a Fire Fox or Fox Illusion, and then Up-Airing them.
==External links==
*He has also coined the term "RockCrock Spike" which happens when Ganondorf down smashes someone and drags them off stage with the first hit.
