| {{Infobox Smasher | | '''Wife''' is the resident Peach of [[Team Ben]], the premier crew in Maryland. He has been competing steadily since January 2004, enjoying the most success with his team, [[The Newlyweds]]. He is perhaps more known for his commentary opposed to his playing, and is widely regarded as the best Smash commentator ever. |

| '''Wife''' is an American ''Melee'' player and commentator from Arlington, Virginia who mains {{SSBM|Peach}}. He is one of the two remaining members of [[Team Ben]] (along with his friend {{Sm|Husband}}), one of the premier crews in Maryland in the [[History of competitive Melee#The "Golden Age" (2004-2008)|Golden Age]].
| |
|
| |
|
| He has been competing since January 2004, originally playing {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}, before he made the switch to Peach, and was considered a top Peach player during the Golden Age, as well as one of the top 20 players in the United States. Fitting for their gamertags, he also teamed up with Husband at tournaments, their team being called [[The Newlyweds]]. Wife's playstyle employs a blend of the great Peaches before him, {{Sm|Mike G}} and {{Sm|KrazyJones}}, and he has a generally solid style of play. He was also probably most famous for his prowess on the matchup against {{SSBM|Marth}}, often being called a "Marth-slayer". He humorously boasted that "no Marth, under any circumstance, would ever pose a threat to him"; despite Marth naturally countering Peach, he has an absurd amount of practice against Husband's Marth. Of the few Marth players to win a set against Wife, {{Sm|Ken}} is the most prominent.
| | == Personal Life == |
| | Christopher Fabiszak is a native of Ellicott City, Maryland. He graduated from Centennial High School in 2003, and earned a degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Maryland, College Park in the spring of 2007. |
|
| |
|
| While Wife largely retired by the end of the Golden Age from competitive play, he has been more prolific with his commentary than his playing in recent years, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest Smash commentators, with him and Husband having commentated events such as [[EVO 2015]], [[Apex 2015]] and [[Pound 2016]].
| | == Super Smash Brothers Melee == |
| | Before picking up [[Peach]], Wife originally played [[Ganondorf]]. His first tournament was Live Or Die in the Fall of 2003, where he met [[H2YL]]. Instantly in love with the competitive atmosphere, Wife set out to become a top player. He debuted his Peach at Game Over in January of 2004, where he entered teams but not singles. Soon after, Wife began traveling around the country to every tournament he could, taking many losses along the way. Eventually Wife started making money rather than losing it, pulling in over a thousand dollars in 2005. |
|
| |
|
| ==Biography==
| | By 2006 Wife had earned himself a spot as one of the best Peaches in the country, and he began competing heavily at [[Major League Gaming]] tournaments. He was invited to the playoffs, where he placed 10th overall. |
