'''San''' is a [[smasher]] from Rochester, [[New York]] who mains [[Ike]]. He was widely considered the best {{SSBB|Ike}} player in ''[[Brawl]]'' in North America and perhaps the world when he was active, though {{Sm|Ryo}} would take up this title when San stopped attending ''Brawl'' tournaments in 2013. San is renowned for being a major innovator in Ike's [[metagame]], and is credited with single handily bringing Ike out of the [[tier list|low tiers]] and significantly reversing Ike's declining perception at the time, with his abnormally high placings in tournaments using a then low tier character. The most notable example of this was when San placed 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2010}}, the at-the-time most prestigious ''Brawl'' tournament that was attended by the best players in North America and by several international players. San also dominated [[low tier tournaments]] when Ike was legal to be used in them.

San was consistently ranked first on the [[New York Power Rankings#Super Smash Bros. Brawl rankings|New York Power Rankings]] for ''Brawl'' when the ''Brawl'' tournament scene was still strong in Upstate New York, and is a member of the [[Brawl Back Room]].

In ''[[Smash 4]]'', San is considered to be one of the best Ike players in the world. He holds notable wins over players such as {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|Blacktwins}}, {{Sm|SuperGirlKels}}, {{Sm|Angel Cortes}}, {{Sm|LingLing}}, {{Sm|Pugwest}}, and {{Sm|K9sbruce}}.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', San would continue to play {{SSBU|Ike}}. He was formerly ranked 5th on the [[New York Power Rankings]], while being 1st on the immediate prior ranking, and has wins over players such as {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|Perkinips}}, {{Sm|BONK!}}, {{Sm|PkChris}}, {{Sm|iModerz}}, {{Sm|SassyFlygon}}, and {{Sm|AoS}}.
