'''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 | '''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]]. Wobbles has since come out of retirement, and is still considered to be one of the best Ice Climbers players in the world, along with {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Nintendude}}, and {{Sm|dizzkidboogie}}. He ranked 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]]. | 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]].
