'''XIF''' is a [[Peach]] main originally from SFL (Miami--Weston area).  His name is an acronym for X-Infested Falcon, as it was originally intended, but very few people actually think of it that way anymore.


'''XIF''' is a {{SSBM|Peach}} main originally from SFL (Miami--Weston area). His name is an acronym for X-Infested Falcon, as it was originally intended, but very few people actually think of it that way anymore.
Even though XIF has been on the smash scene for several years at this point, he has only recently gained notoriety.  His claim to fame is the invention and popularization of the Peach pillar technique.  Although many players have given this technique different names (lawnmower, condom buster, etc.), XIF still likes to refer to it himself as just "Float Canceled Neutral Airs to ''*insert another move here*''" or "FC Nairs" for short.  He first gained notoriety for it at Pound 2, where among other things, broke {{sm|CunningKitsune}}'s shield. Like some others who have gained notoriety, it is debatable whether he was noticed for playing technically or playing efficiently.


XIF gained notoriety in 2007, his claim to fame was the invention and popularization of the Peach pillar technique. Although many players have given this technique different names (lawnmower, etc.), XIF still likes to refer to it himself as just "Float Canceled Neutral Airs to ''*insert another move here*''" or "FC Nairs" for short. He first gained notoriety for it at Pound 2, where among other things, broke {{sm|CunningKitsune}}'s shield. Like some others who have gained notoriety, it is debatable whether he was noticed for playing technically or playing efficiently. He has wins against players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|Wobbles}}, {{Sm|ChuDat}}, and {{Sm|n0ne}}.
Generally accepted by OOSers and OORregioners as the best Peach in the SE, he has become very well known and is a force to be reckoned with.  The Peach pillar is quite difficult to get around for those who have never seen it before, and even with consistent practice against it, the variations available can still make it quite tricky.

!Tournament!!Date!!1v1 placement!!2v2 placement!!Partner
* XIF and chaddd go back and forth. Their matches are either very close or an all-out win.
|-
* XIF plays white Peach, unless playing someone who claims white Peach, such as {{sm|Xelic}}, in which case he switches to Daisy.

* XIF enjoys teaming with Green Mario and is close friends with him.
|}
* XIF was a professional Break the Targets player in his time before placing well at tournaments. He has since dropped it but still enjoys showing it off during tournaments. Unfortunately in the year or so he has stopped playing it his total time has been reduced from spectacular to average.
* XIF and Green Mario are the only team to ever break into national top 10 placings without top tier characters.  Notable wins include victories over Chillindude829 and ChuDat, ViperBoy and KeepSpeedn, Darkrain and Tink, Drephen and JoeBushman, etc... among others.
* DJ Eggz' song 'Xin-Infested Falcon' is a reference to XIF.
