'''Tapion''' is a {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} player from Wisconsin. Though once widely acclaimed as the best player in Wisconsin, Tapion has not done much in terms of traveling and competing in larger, higher-level tournaments. He is a [[smasher]] rumored to ask the tough questions from time to time. Tapion made his name known through the coining of the term "[[Falcon_Punch#Tapion_Punch_Combo|Tapion Punch]]" - a combo using the [[Falcon Punch]] as a finisher. He changed his main to {{SSBM|Fox}} after a tournament at Whitewater, where he made a 2-set comeback against {{Sm|Jazzness}} with Fox. This sudden (albeit temporary) change upset Jiano, another well-known {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} player. Recently, Tapion has competed in tournaments with his Captain Falcon in both ''Melee'' and ''[[Project M]]''.

In 2006, Tapion released a {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evb-V4--Bsk combo video] entitled ''{{Sm|Isai}}, Are You Watching?''. It has since gathered over 200,000 views, and was even watched by Isai himself. The success of the video led [[YouTube]] user Seph05 to create a ''Brawl'' video modeled after the same combos in Tapion's original video.
