Editing Smasher:VoiD

VoiD is a Smasher from [[Hawaii]] who is currently residing in Los Angeles, [[SoCal|California]]. He is considered one of the greatest ''Smash'' players to come from Hawaii.

Though active prior in other ''Smash'' games, VoiD first became known in ''Smash 4'', where he initially competed from Hawaii before moving to SoCal in 2016, where he became one of the greatest ''Smash 4'' players in SoCal. He played {{SSB4|Sheik}} and became a major pioneer and influence on the Sheik metagame, notable for his usage of innovative combos, extensions, and kill set-ups. Alongside many strong finishes at the largest ''Smash 4'' events, VoiD was the first Sheik player to win a major after the character's nerfs in patch [[1.1.5]], doing so at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 4}}. As such, he is considered one of the greatest Sheik players in ''Smash 4'', alongside {{Sm|Mr.R}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}}, consistently ranking in or near the top 10 throughout ''Smash 4''{{'}}s competitive lifespan and eventually ranking 11th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]]. Outside of Sheik, he was also known for being one of the best {{SSB4|Fox}} players in SoCal as well.

After ''Smash 4'', VoiD was active in the early metagame of ''Ultimate'' and was considered one of the greatest SoCal players during this time. He initially played {{SSBU|Pichu}} and is considered one of the greatest Pichu players of all-time, as well as the best Pichu player in the early months of competitive play, where he placed 2nd at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, the first ''Ultimate'' supermajor, alongside several other top 8 finishes at majors and supermajors, leading him to rank 9th on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]]. Following Pichu's nerfs in [[List of updates (SSBU)#3.1.0|update 3.1.0]], VoiD switched to playing other characters with mixed success before settling on {{SSBU|Sheik}}. He became the best Sheik player in the world during this time as well as the first notable Sheik player in competitive ''Ultimate'', achieving the character's first major top 8 at {{Trn|Mainstage}}. Though he became less active and consistent in the post-pandemic metagame, he has still seen some notable performances from time-to-time, most infamously upsetting {{Sm|Sparg0}} at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}}.

VoiD is known for his optimal usage of [[perfect pivoting]]. He pioneered the technique when it was still in the grassroots, and incorporated it into being an essential part to {{SSB4|Sheik}}'s [[combo]] game.  

He plays aggressively, pressuring the opponent using Sheik's [[needles]] and quick tilts to put them into a situation of where he can combo them or force them offstage. He is also very innovative and improvises quickly to take a hit as far as he can, often resulting in taking a stock or taking back a lead. VoiD also uses unorthodox options to catch the opponent off guard such as Sheik's [[down air]] or [[up air]] to drag his opponent into a tech chase scenario into a [[down smash]]. However, due to his aggressive playstyle and technical playstyle, if VoiD is not consistent in his inputs, he loses the neutral and can be overtaken by other players that have a stronger, more protected neutral. He is also susceptible to [[rage]] comebacks due to the weaknesses of his character.

VoiD retains his aggressive and technical gameplan from ''Smash 4'', making full usage of {{SSBU|Pichu}}'s quick and powerful options. He raised the perception of Pichu in the metagame and also pioneered the combo game of the character. However, as the same with Sheik, he is susceptible to rage and strong kill options due to the light weight of Pichu. His extreme tech skill and usage of Sheik's excellent frame data allowed him to significantly improve Sheik’s standing in the metagame. VoiD complements his deft usage of her aggressive play with an oppressive neutral game and can often get a major lead early in the game. However, he sometimes struggles to take the last stock of a match because Sheik lacks simple kill options that are relatively non-committal.
