==History==
== History ==
t0mmy started playing competitive ''Smash'' with ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. TANG 9 marked one of his earliest appearances outside his hometown in Fall 2006. Since then he has competed in and helped organized many early state and local tournaments including the SF:E series and other events. Later, he competed in the bigger competitive scene with events like MLG, 0C2, and NCT2.
He started playing ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the N64 at a game store pre-release demo. Years later, Nintendo promoted the Nintendo GameCube through a series of events called the Gamecube Game Club  Super Smash Bros. Melee was available for demo. He attended an event in Philadelphia and enjoyed a competitive and fun atmosphere, then trolled about being one of the first people to play the game. But it wasn't until Fall of 2006 that changed the way he played the game from then on.


After ''Brawl's'' release, t0mmy switched focus from Melee and scored 1st place in many Oregon state events and went on to win many major Pacific Northwest tournaments (RCB series and GameClucks series). Noticing a decline in attendance he announced his retirement from the "local" scene and focused on hosting events to help bolster tournament growth, but continued to play outside the state to represent Oregon, where he scored wins in Washington around the time of {{sm|Felix}}'s top 3 placing at an MLG event (MLG Raleigh). His highest Smash Bros. Brawl placing in a major was at Evo 2k9 in ''Brawl'' Singles taking 9th place.
A local Game Crazy store hosted a Nintendo-sponsored Super Smash Bros. tournament. t0mmy entered with Pichu and his brother played through as Kirby. It was a free-for-all, items-on mess with broken controllers and two seasoned players (and previous champions) ganging up on the other players. t1mmy ended up winning the tournament, and more importantly it started their interest finding better players.
Coming across Smashboards they found the closest tournament in Oregon was TANG hosted in Portland by [[Aftermath]]. The turnout was small (about 8 entrants) but was the spark that lit a wild fire of tournaments seen in Oregon today. Soon thereafter, t0mmy and t1mmy met with [[Tudios]] and [[Shin]] and started a community in Eugene with the Smashfest:Eugene and Big City Brawl events; with this renewed tournament scene the Oregon Smash community grew. NOregon (Norther Oregon) grew larger with TANG, OATS, Empire Games, Gamer's Guild, and Portland Kombat, and the state of Oregon was finally put on the competitive Smash map.


The first grassroots Pacific Northwest regional (East/West Washington, North/South Oregon, Idaho, and Canada players attended) tournament for {{for3ds}} (hosted at GameZone/GameClucks in Washington on Oct. 4th) started off his involvement with the next entry in the ''Smash'' series, where he took 2nd place. t0mmy went on to win nearly every weekly and monthly ''3DS'' event in his state leading up to the launch of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. His highest placing at Smash Wii U in a major was PAX 2015 where he took 9th place. However, his Smash 4 involvement was notably shorter lived than with previous Smash titles as he forsook entering any Smash event at Genesis 5 and instead focused on playing in Splatoon 2 on the team "Super Splat Squids".
By the time of Brawl's release the Smash Twins were hosting or overseeing the tournaments in Oregon and have successfully brought a regional tournament to Oregon with [http://http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=753 The Oregon Mega Games (The OMG)].


t0mmy reemerged to the competitive scene with the release of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', but with minimal tournament travel. He has been ranked #1 on his local PR throughout 2019. Outside of competition t0mmy is usually active within the local community including co-founding a Team named Synergy (later rebranded as Unity), and running an Oregon Smash Discord server.
With the decline of the Pac NW tournament scene at the end of 2011 t0mmy decided to put focus on hosting events due to most of the state events having about 4 entrants competing. He decided to revolutionize the scene and bring it back to its glory days of 2008-2010 with his "R3VOLUTION" tournament series (R3VO series). The name of the series is an homage to the Ron Paul rEVOLution which emphasizes freedom in economics, personal choices, and many libertarian philosophies (minimizing government, maximizing peace, and liberty), but additional puns include the revolution of R.O.B.'s Gyro, and the first event's name "Revolt" means to "charge up again" eluding to electronics/robots and recharging the dying Oregon scene.
 
The first R3VO#1 was a success, seeing about 8 times the amount of attendees as the usual events. The next two events in the series were just as successful; The Oregon Smash scene saw an influx of new players and many returning players.


==Tournament placings==
t0mmy continues to play Smash and other games in the game shops around his home town.
{{Results|Is supposedly a notable Pichu player in Melee yet there are close to no Melee results here.}}
 
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
He currently helps head up the Oregon Scene organizing and hosting events, moderates the state boards online, and contributes to discussion regarding tournament protocol and rules on a national scale. Looking forward to several more years of tournaments and travel for Super Smash Bros. 3DS & Wii U. Needless to say, he has his hands full as both a professional gamer and a supporter of the community.

=== Tournament History ===
t0mmy started competitive Smash with TANG 9 in Fall 2006. Since then he has helped organized and competed in nearly every SF:E tournament and other series of state/local events. Playing catch-up to all the seasoned veterans he's boldly jumped into the big competitive scene with events like MLG, 0C2, and NCT2.
Ever since Brawl's early release t0mmy has scored 1st place in countless Oregon state events and went on to win many major Pacific Northwest tournaments (RCB series and GameClucks series).
Noticing a decline in attendance he announced his retirement from the "local" scene and focused on hosting events to help bolster tournament growth, but continued to play outside the state to represent Oregon where he scored some wins in Washington around the time of [[Felix]]'s impressive top 3 placing at an MLG event (MLG Raleigh).
His best placing on a national level to date was Evo 2k9 in Brawl Singles taking top 10 at 9th place. [http://nintendodojo.com/event.aspx?id=5725]
