'''Southpaw''' is a [[smasher]] from Santa Clarita, California. He [[mains]] {{SSBB|Toon Link}} in ''Brawl'' and has been considered one of the top Toon Link players behind {{Sm|Cody}}.
'''Southpaw''' is a [[smasher]] from Santa Clarita, California who resides in Paw Manor. He [[mains]] {{SSBB|Toon Link}}. He is generally considered to be one of the coolest and chillest ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' players from coast to coast, with consistent drowning in nationals since 2009. He holds the distinction of being seeded last in pools even though his record reflects otherwise. He is currently considered the fifth best Toon Link player in the world behind CodyKnight, also known as {{Sm|Quest}}, a New England Smasher. (Contrary to Quest's most recent tag change, he claims to be a Toon Link main).


Southpaw is best known for defeating both {{Sm|Mew2King}} and Chris G in ''Brawl'' tournaments. Southpaw's teammate is {{Sm|HelpR}}, who teamed with him in the aforementioned games against Mew2King.
Southpaw is best known for defeating both {{Sm|Mew2King}} and Chris G in ''Brawl'' tournaments, presenting his report of victory on All is Brawl blogs. Both highlight victories took place in the boogie down Bronx, defeating Chris G at the Bronx Community College single's tournament and defeating Mew2King at Bum's Casa de Crack 420 Blaze It: Project B Edition's doubles tournament. Always by Southpaw's side is {{Sm|HelpR}}, who teamed with Southpaw when they bested the great Mew2King. HelpR is also known as the 10th best in New York City, who famously cause the merge between the New Jersey and New York City Power Rankings.


In ''Ultimate'', Southpaw primarily uses {{SSBU|Inkling}}, but has also been seen using {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}}, and {{SSBU|Joker}} for specific match-ups. <!--currently updating Southpaw's Ultimate results--> He has attended tourneys in Maryland, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Since ''Smash 3DS''{{'}}s release, Southpaw has been attending tourneys in the Southern California area. He is also known for discovering a {{SSB4|Yoshi}} Training Mode combo counter exploit. A video of this exploit can be found on his YouTube page [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3bFMU58E6k here].
