'''SuPeRbOoMfAn''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSB|Kirby}}, and {{SSB|Pikachu}} tri-main from Alberta, Canada who is widely considered one of the best ''Smash 64'' players and was considered the best player in the world in 2018. He is considered the best Captain Falcon main in the world; one of the best Pikachu mains in the world, alongside {{Sm|Alvin}}, {{Sm|Gerson}}, and {{Sm|Mariguas}}; and one of the best Kirby mains in the world, alongside {{Sm|Fukurou}}, {{Sm|kysk}}, and {{Sm|Moyashi}}. He is renowned for his adept character roster, and has maintained an unparalleled level of dominance in North America. SuPeRbOoMfAn is currently ranked 3rd on the [[2023 Smash 64 Power Rankings]].

He and {{Sm|JaimeHR}} comprise the best static [[doubles]] teams in the world, dubbed Team Mejor, and enjoy a high level of dominance in the North American scene.

In ''[[Melee]]'', SuPeRbOoMfAn is a {{SSBM|Marth}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, and {{SSBM|Fox}} co-main, but has admitted that he does not take the game nearly as seriously as ''Smash 64''. SuPeRbOoMfAn was formerly ranked 3rd on the [[Edmonton Melee Power Rankings]].

On January 17th, 2017, alongside {{Sm|Rich Brown}}, SuPeRbOoMfAn was signed by {{Team|Panda}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/18493165/panda-global-signs-superboomfan-rich-brown|title=Panda Global signs SuPeRbOoMfAn and Rich Brown}}</ref> On July 8th, 2020, he and Panda would part ways.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PandaGlobal/status/1280933191604305920|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn and Panda Global part ways}}</ref>

 

 

SuPeRbOoMfAn's playstyle has been described as heavily defensive by {{Sm|Jouske}}. His [[technical skill]] is among the best in the world, and he maintains an extensive knowledge match-up specifics and aspects of the game's physics. His [[spacing]], in tandem with his patience, enable him to consistently follow his opponent's movements, and exploit openings, wherein he utilises heavily optimised punishes.

He is known to have incredible situational [[DI]].

SuPeRbOoMfAn started 2015 by placing 1st at [[Echo 2015 Winter]], defeating {{Sm|YBOMBB}} and The Z. He won Doubles with {{Sm|Fck Vwls}}, double eliminating The Z and {{Sm|Revan}}. At [[Apex 2015]], SuPeRbOoMfAn placed 1st, dropping only two games, to Wizzrobe and {{Sm|tacos}}; however, he would go on to sweep through his bracket, and double eliminate tacos, solidifying his status as the best player in North America. With JaimeHR, they won Doubles. In June of 2015 at [[Smash of Ages 2015]], SuPeRbOoMfAn once again placed 1st, defeating {{Sm|Kyle Tree}}, JaimeHR, Mariguas, and tacos. He and JaimeHR won Doubles without dropping a single game.

Returning to attend [[GENESIS 3]], and hoping to repeat his success at GENESIS 2, he fell slightly short. He placed 2nd, defeating tacos and double eliminating {{Sm|Wangera}}, before being double eliminated by {{Sm|wario}}.

In April of 2016, SuPeRbOoMfAn won [[Pound 2016]], defeating Wizzrobe, and double eliminating tacos. He and tacos won Doubles, only losing a single game to Nintendude and Firo. He repeated that performance at [[Get On My Level 2016]]. In Singles, he lost only a single game, to KeroKerropi. He and Nintendude took Doubles, not losing a game. At [[Snosa 2016]], he placed 1st, not losing a single game. In Doubles, he and JaimeHR placed 1st, though not without serious competition from both Isai and KeroKerropi, and Mariguas and {{Sm|Dext3r}}.

He then won the following US tournaments without competition from Japan or Peru [[Keystoned 2017]], [[Frame Perfect Series 2]], [[Smash 'N' Splash 3]] and [[Low Tier City 5]].

At [[Super Smash Con 2017]], he placed 4th, losing to {{Sm|Kurabba}} and {{Sm|Fukurou}} 2-3, which was his lowest placing at a US tournament until 2 years later.

The following time period until Super Smash Con 2019 would become his strongest. He finally broke his 2nd place trend at [[GENESIS 5]], winning the event by defeating the number 1 ranked player of 2017, Fukurou, 3-2 in Winner's Finals and Alvin 3-1 in grand finals (following a loss to him in the first set 0-3 and a 3-1 in winner's semis). He also took the other super major this year, {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}} (with the absence of Japanese top players {{Sm|Wario}}, {{Sm|Kurabba}}, {{Sm|Kysk}} and {{Sm|Fukurou}}) defeating Alvin again. He also won all other majors he attended until SSC 2019.

 

At {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, he had to play {{Sm|Alvin}} and {{Sm|kysk}} very early, at round 1 and 2 in the top 32 double elimination bracket, thanks to both being upset in pools. He defeated Alvin's Falcon going Kirby, but lost with Pikachu against kysk's Kirby. In the loser's side he defeated {{Sm|Prince}} and {{Sm|Josh Brody}} but eventually lost to {{Sm|Kurabba}}'s Yoshi (going Captain Falcon) in a close 2-3 set which led to a 5th place, his tied lowest placing ever.

 

After that tournament, he announced that he will stop competing, leaving it unclear whether it is an indefinite hiatus or a permanent retirement. As reasons he stated his frustration over micro lag on console play making him sometimes do an up-smash instead of a short hop up-air which could be fixed by switching to emulators, being busy with school schedule, getting very anxious when playing and not knowing why, suffering from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes Diabetes] and his blood sugar level and frustration about how the rankings where handled, being too low in the [[2017 64 League Rankings]] and the lack of a 2018 ranking.

===Tacna 2014===

At [[Tacna 2014]], a [[Hyrule Castle]]-only tournament, SuPeRbOoMfAn played in an infamously [[camping|campy]] style against {{Sm|Gerson}} in Losers' Semis. Speculation arose that he intended to demonstrate the flaws of the stage to the Peruvian community. Roughly half a year later, Peru had their first [[Dream Land]]-only tournament, with Gerson placing first.

SuPeRbOoMfAn returned to Edmonton, after several years of living in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta and Fredericton, New Brunswick. Upon his return, he entered a weekly with the tag '''FalcoMaster3000''', wearing a balaclava and sunglasses, and surprised participants and spectators with his skill, solidly taking first using a combination of {{SSBM|Marth}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, and {{SSBM|Fox}}. He did not speak once during the entire tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6vqWxTku8I|title=The Legend of FalcoMaster3000}}</ref>

Although he had never publicly claimed to be the mysterious figure, profile matches and a combination of coincidences led to a general consensus that SuPeRbOoMfAn was indeed FalcoMaster3000.

During the "Smash Masters" event at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}, SuPeRbOoMfAn humorously arrived on stage with his signature balaclava and sunglasses, confirming his secret identity.

*In his AMA, SuPeRbOoMfAn established his growing thoughts on the meta and future of ''[[Smash 64]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/|title=Hello, this is PG SuPeRbOoMfAn, ask me anything}}</ref>

**He dislikes the growing saturation of {{SSB|Pikachu}}s and {{SSB|Kirby}}s, and attributes his growing usage of Pikachu as his attempt to demonstrate Pikachu's over-viability.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/dcuu1ka/|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn's opinion of Pikachu and Kirby}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/dcuu3ic/|title=Why SuPeRbOoMfAn is playing more Pikachu}}</ref>

**Furthermore, he considers the over-saturation of Pikachu and Kirby to be hindering the scene's growth, noting that participation and interest are dwindling as both characters become more and more prominent, and the importance of holding and gaining interest as the ''Smash 64'' competitive scene hits its stride.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/dcuyez4/|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn's opinion of Kirby's and Pikachu's impact on the scene}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/dcuy0pl/|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn explains the importance of maintaining outside interest in the scene}}</ref>

**SuPeRbOoMfAn has stated that while he would be interested in travelling to Japan again, he expresses no interest in returning to Peru, citing his perception of disrespect from the Peruvian scene, and possible safety concerns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/dcuxkbl/|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn's thoughts on returning to Japan and Peru}}</ref>

**He considers [[Dream Land]] to be the best option for a competitive meta, and that while other stages are interesting, their own quirks make them less than appealing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5pxq55/hello_this_is_pg_superboomfan_ask_me_anything/dcv3pcd/|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn talks about stages}}</ref>

*SuPeRbOoMfAn (8-5) and {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} (2-1) are the only two players in North America to have a positive record over {{Sm|Isai}}, although neither of them have defeated his Pikachu.

*SuPeRbOoMfAn speedruns the ''{{s|wikipedia|Crash Bandicoot}}'' series, and currently holds the world record in 100% for ''{{s|wikipedia|Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back}}''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.speedrun.com/crash2|title=SuPeRbOoMfAn's world record runs}}</ref>
