'''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]].
'''SuPeRbOoMfAn''' is a [[smasher]], known to be the best Canadian ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' player, and the second best in North America, behind {{Sm|Isai}}. He is the founder and leader of the current top ''SSB64'' [[crew]], [[Prodigies of Premium Smash]], and is currently ranked first on the unfinished [[Smash 64 ELO Rating]].


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.
SuPeRbOoMfAn is the undisputed top {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} [[main]] in the world, having taken sets off of world-class Captain Falcon players such as {{Sm|Ruoka Dancho}} and {{Sm|Mariguas}}. He is also a top {{SSB|Pikachu}} and {{SSB|Fox}} player, and is notorious for being extremely adept with nearly the entire roster, as can be seen in his [[twelve character battle]]s.


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]].
==History==
SuPeRbOoMfAn won ''Smash 64'' singles at [[GENESIS 2]], defeating {{Sm|Isai}}'s {{SSB|Luigi}} 3-1 in winners' finals, and then losing the first set of grand finals to Isai's {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} 2-3, but still winning the second set 3-2.


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>
He repeated this performance at [[Apex 2012]] six months later, defeating Isai's {{SSB|Link}} 3-1 in winners' finals, losing the first set of grand finals to Isai 2-3, and then winning the second set 3-1. In the ''Smash 64'' doubles side event, he placed 2nd with {{Sm|JaimeHR}}, losing to Isai and {{Sm|Nintendude}} in winners' finals and grand finals.


==Rankings==
SuPeRbOoMfAn returned to attend [[Apex 2013]] next year, where he placed 3rd in ''Smash 64'' singles. He defeated players such as {{Sm|Banze}} and {{Sm|Sensei}} in winners' bracket, before losing to {{Sm|Kikoushi}} 1-3 in winners' semis. He defeated JaimeHR 3-0 in losers' quarters and {{Sm|Ruoka Dancho}} 3-0 in losers' semis. In losers' finals, he was eliminated by Isai's {{SSB|Mario}} 1-3.

==Playstyle==
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]].
 
==Tournament history==
===Online Beginnings===
SuPeRbOoMfAn began playing ''[[Smash 64]]'' online through {{s|wikipedia|Kaillera}} in early 2004, where he obtained practice with prominent players such as {{Sm|JaimeHR}}, {{Sm|Bane}}, and {{Sm|Dark Link X}}. He developed into one of the best players online, and founded [[Prodigies of Premium Smash]] along with {{Sm|ECartman}}, a crew that dominated the online scene. He began participating in tournaments in 2007.
 
===Domination===
At [[GENESIS 2]], he placed 1st, taking his first major, double eliminating {{Sm|Isai}}. He repeated this performance at [[Apex 2012]] six months later, double eliminating Isai again. In Doubles, he placed 2nd with {{Sm|JaimeHR}}, being double eliminated by Isai and {{Sm|Nintendude}}.
 
SuPeRbOoMfAn returned to attend [[Apex 2013]] the next year, placing 3rd. He took sets off of {{Sm|Banze}} and {{Sm|Sensei}}, before falling to {{Sm|Kikoushi}}. In Losers' he defeated JaimeHR and {{Sm|Ruoka Dancho}}, before being eliminated by Isai.
 
SuPeRbOoMfAn won [[Zenith 2013]], double eliminating Sensei. He notably played {{SSB|Kirby}}, using a [[keyboard]], before switching back to a controller after falling into a set disadvantage.
 
Repeating his Apex 2013 placing, at [[Apex 2014]], SuPeRbOoMfAn again placed 3rd, being double eliminated by {{Sm|Moyashi}}.
 
At [[Zenith 2014]], SuPeRbOoMfAn placed 1st, without losing a game. He double eliminated {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}}, and defeated {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}. He won Doubles with {{Sm|The Z}}, double eliminating {{Sm|Firo}} and Nintendude.
 
In August of 2014, SuPeRbOoMfAn traveled to Peru with {{Sm|Mariguas}} and {{Sm|Herbert Von Karajan}} to attend [[Tacna 2014]], placing 3rd. He defeated many of their notable players, but was double eliminated by {{Sm|Marka}}. In what was considered a purposeful move, during his set against {{Sm|Gerson}}, who was widely considered the country's best player, SuPeRbOoMfAn played an infamously [[camping|campy]] style on [[Hyrule Castle]], with the set taking over an hour. It is thought that his play was designed as a method to demonstrate the flaws of the stage to the Peruvian community.
 
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.


He travelled to Japan for [[Kanto 2015]], which featured a single elimination bracket. He placed 5th, defeating {{Sm|Takuro~}}, before falling to Moyashi.
SuPeRbOoMfAn won ''Smash 64'' singles at [[Zenith 2013]], defeating Sensei 3-1 in winners' finals and 3-2 in grand finals. Notably, he played using his [[keyboard]] Kirby during the first three games of grand finals, though Sensei ended up with a 2-1 lead. He then switched to the usual controller and won the next two games to close out the set.


===Rise of Challengers===
At [[Apex 2014]], SuPeRbOoMfAn once again placed 3rd in ''Smash 64'' singles. He played a close set against {{Sm|Moyashi}} in winners' semis, but ended up losing 2-3. He defeated {{Sm|tacos}} 3-0 in losers' quarters and {{Sm|Mariguas}} 3-0 in losers' semis, but lost to Moyashi once again in losers' finals, this time 1-3.
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}}.
At [[Zenith 2014]], SuPeRbOoMfAn managed to win ''Smash 64'' singles without dropping a game in the bracket. He defeated {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}} 3-0 in winners' semis, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 3-0 in winners' finals, and KeroKeroppi 3-0 again in grand finals. He also won ''Smash 64'' doubles with {{Sm|The Z}}, defeating {{Sm|Firo}} and Nintendude in both winners' finals and grand finals.


At [[Super Smash Con 2016]], he placed 1st, defeating Mariguas, Isai, and double eliminating Wizzrobe. In Doubles, he and JaimeHR placed 2nd, being double eliminated by Isai and {{Sm|Alvin}}.
==Notable tournament placings==
 
===''Smash 64''===
Attending [[Shine 2016]], SuPeRbOoMfAn placed 1st, not dropping a single game. In Doubles, he and tacos placed 1st, only losing a game to {{Sm|Shears}} and {{Sm|Marbles}}. In September of that year, he attended [[Operation Desert Smash II]], placing 1st, double eliminating D3xter. In Doubles, he and JaimeHr placed 1st, double eliminating tacos and D3xter.
 
SuPeRbOoMfAn placed 3rd at his namesake tournament, [[SuperBoomed]], being double eliminated by Alvin. He and Firo placed 1st in Doubles, double eliminating Mariguas and Alvin.
 
In November of 2016, at [[Boss Battle 2]], SuPeRbOoMfAn placed 1st, losing only one game to KeroKerropi, double eliminating him. Both he and {{Sm|Fireblaster}} placed 1st in Doubles, losing one game to {{Sm|DTan}} and {{Sm|DOGG}}. He ended the year on a high note, placing 1st at [[Don't Park on the Grass]], without dropping a game. He and Wizzrobe teamed for Doubles, losing only one game to {{Sm|Jason}} and Mariguas.
 
Repeating his GENESIS 3 placement, he placed 2nd at [[GENESIS 4]], being upset by Wizzrobe, and being eliminated by Alvin. He and JaimeHR solidly took Doubles, losing only two games.
 
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.

==Controversies==
===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.
While Gerson initially offered to play on Dream Land, SuPeRbOoMfAn refused due to the tournament rules stating that Hyrule Castle is the only legal stage. SuPeRbOoMfAn won, in a set that endured over an hour. As the rule-set stated that the player in the lead is not required to approach the other player in a camping situation, SuPeRbOoMfAn did not act as the aggressor, and Gerson was warned multiple times throughout the first game that he was required to approach SuPeRbOoMfAn since Gerson was losing. When SuPeRbOoMfAn was warned for similar behaviour in subsequent games, he argued that he deserved just as much time as Gerson took.
There were accusations that SuPeRbOoMfAn's behaviour was unsportsmanlike, and claims that he left a bad impression of the North American scene in South America.
===FalcoMaster3000===
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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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>
* SuPeRbOoMfAn has a {{SSB|Kirby}} maining alter ego named '''GodMasterKirby''' or GMK.
**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>
* He occasionally plays using the [[keyboard]] and uses the name '''KeyboardKing''' when doing so, with his aforementioned keyboard Kirby that he used at Zenith 2013 being infamous.
**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.
*His alternate persona while playing {{SSB|Kirby}} is known as '''GodMasterKirby''', or '''GMK'''.
*SuPeRbOoMfAn occasionally plays using a [[keyboard]], accompanied by the name '''KeyboardKing''' when doing so.
*SuPeRbOoMfAn frequently enters local ''[[Melee]]'' tournaments using the alias, '''DildoKing'''.
*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>
