'''Shears''' is a ''[[Smash 64]]'' {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Mario}} player from Baltimore, Maryland who is a [[TO]] for major ''64'' tournaments across the country as well as local and regional events, including the Baltimore ''SSB'' weeklies. He also places in the top 3 there routinely. Online, like many of the other ''64'' players, Shears has been frequently banned from [[SmashBoards]] due to trolling, much to the dismay of the rest of the ''64'' community. He is also notorious for losing blindfolded money matches against Sedda. With the help {{Sm|SotoH}}, {{Sm|Wookiee}}, and the Team LAS Tournament, these three main smashers are credited with creating the annual ''Smash 64'' Snosa/Smash of ages tournament in [[SoCal]]. Shears is currently ranked 64th on the [[2019-2020 Smash 64 Power Rankings]].
