'''Wobbles''', previously known as '''Wobbles the Phoenix''' or '''Honorbound''', is a retired [[smasher]] from Dallas, Texas who is known for playing the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} and was considered the best in the world with them prior to his initial retirement. Wobbles was formerly ranked 1st on both the [[Central Texas Power Rankings|Central Texas Melee Power Rankings]] and the [[Arizona Power Rankings|Arizona Melee Power Rankings]] and was 30th on the [[2016 SSBMRank]] list. 

He became known for his use of the "[[grab]], [[pummel]], [[forward tilt]]" infinite [[combo]] that effectively pushed him within the top 12 finalists in his debut major tournament [[NorCal Tournament]]. Wobbles' claim to fame also sparked a series of discussions concerning whether or not the Ice Climbers' forward tilt infinite should be banned in competitive play. The [[Smash Back Room]] decided that the infinite should go unbanned in tournaments. The technique has since been called [[wobbling]].

Wobbles announced his retirement on January 20th, 2018. He will still be around in the community, but will no longer be competing in tournaments.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/PG_Wobbles/status/954711569107177474|title=Wobbles announcing his retirement}}</ref>

==Tournament history==
Wobbles is well known for his performance at [[EVO 2013]], where he defied all expectations and placed 2nd. He made it into the top 8 through winners' bracket by defeating {{Sm|Mango}} 2-1 in the winners' quarters pool, and then defeated {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} 2-0 in winners' semis and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} 2-1 in winners' finals. However, in grand finals, he lost to Mango 0-3 and 1-3 in the first and second sets respectively. After this performance with a character once considered to be below the threshold for a high tier character, Wobbles retired from the competitive community like he announced before the tournament.

Wobbles has recently made a bit of a resurgence after being sponsored by a local provider in FX DFW. He regularly goes to the [[Monday Night Melee]] weeklies and [[DIME]] monthlies and consistently gets 1st nearly every time. He has also in this time gone to 2 major tournaments, [[Forte 2]] and [[Apex 2015]]. At Forte 2, he placed 3rd of 200+ entrants, taking out notable players such as {{Sm|Axe}} and taking a game from Hungrybox in Winner's finals before being defeated by Hungrybox 1-3 and then later Axe 0-3 in loser's finals. At APEX, Wobbles placed 33rd of roughly 1,037 entrants, getting 1st seed in his R1 and R2 pools to make bracket, in doing so defeating players such as {{Sm|Qerb}}, {{Sm|s0ft}} and {{Sm|Blea Gelo}}. He then lost to {{Sm|S2J}} in round 1 of Winner's bracket 1-2, though he quit Game 3 prematurely after losing a stock rather viciously at the hands of S2J. He then forfeited his set with {{Sm|Cactuar}} in round 1 of loser's bracket to get 33rd overall. 

Wobbles has also gone to several smaller tourneys, such as Infinity and Beyond! 18, where he placed 2nd, being able to take a set off of {{Sm|Mew2King}} 3-1 in Grand Finals but ultimately losing the second set 1-3. Another tourney he attended was [[Low Tier City 2]], where he placed 3rd, losing to Mew2King 1-3 in Winner's finals and {{Sm|Westballz}} 0-3 in loser's finals. He also attended AZ tourney [[Smash the Target]], where he again placed 3rd, defeating the likes of {{Sm|Squid}} and {{Sm|Tai}}, the latter coming off an upset over Westballz, both 2-1 before losing to Axe 2-3 in Winner's finals and Westballz again 1-3 in loser's finals. Finally, Wobbles recently attended the monthly [[DIME 13]], which had {{Sm|Lucky}} in attendance. Wobbles was able to take 1st at the tournament despite the top level SoCal talent being in attendance. After defeating {{Sm|Mojo}} 3-2 last stock in Winner's semis, Wobbles lost to Lucky 2-3 last stock in Winner's finals, then proceeded to defeat Mojo 3-1 in loser's finals and take grand finals over Lucky 3-2 and 3-0 for each set, respectively.

Wobbles attended huge southwest tourney [[Aftershock]] in March 2015, where he placed a great 2nd place. After earning enough qualifiers points to automatically grant a Top 16 placing, he defeated top MDVA talent in {{Sm|Milkman}} and {{Sm|Redd}} to enter Winner's Semis, where he finally defeated Westballz for the first time. He then lost to Axe in Winner's Finals, then proceeded to narrowly beat Redd again in loser's finals 3-2 to reach Grand, where he lost the first set to Axe, netting 2nd place of roughly 150 entrants. Wobbles recently stated he will be attending [[Sandstorm]], a huge Arizona tourney expected to have 5 of the Top 6 and many more top tier talents. At the tournament Wobbles got 9th place, losing to Armada in winner's and S2J in losers, both 2-0.

Wobbles then later entered [[EVO 2015]], the largest Smash tournament of all time with 1800+ entrants. However, instead of using his main of Ice Climbers, he decided to use Mario instead. In doing so, he lost winner's finals of his Round 1 pool to mid tier SoCal player Trichael Man, but made it out in losers side.  He eventually lost to Mooninite, who is best known for beating Crimson Blur with Kirby in losers to net 129th place. However, shortly after this tourney at [[Low Tier City 3]], Wobbles proved why he was still one of the best players in the world by winning the tournament. Wobbles first defeats friend Axe 3-2 in Winner's Semis in a close set, but then proceeds to double eliminate Mew2King, defeating him in Winner's Finals and Grand Finals 3-1 each time, with a 3 stock on 3 different occasions, all on Peach, Ice Climbers' worst matchup.

==Trivia==
*Wobbles is infamous for popularizing the term "Arizona Anger", when he threw his controller in a match against {{Sm|SilentSpectre}}. Many people remember this set from a quote from one of the commentators who said, "Jeff goin' for that Nana". [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pTVhtIawbQ&t=149]
*Wobbles is one of three Ice Climbers players who has made top 8 at EVO, himself placing top 8 at EVO 2013, and the others being Fly Amanita at EVO 2014 and ChuDat at EVO 2007, 2015, and 2019.
*Wobbles has beaten all but one of [[The Five Gods]] ({{Sm|Armada}}) in a tournament bracket match, defeating {{Sm|Mew2King}} at [[GENESIS 2]], and defeating {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|PPMD}}, and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in subsequent fashion at [[EVO 2013]].
