Editing Team:Deadly Alliance

{{ArticleIcons|ssbm=y|competitive=y}}
'''Deadly Alliance''' ('''DA''', formerly '''Empire Arcadia''') is a professional fighting game team founded by Isiah "TriForce" Johnson. In 2005, Super Smash Bros. crew Deadly Alliance leader {{Sm|Wes}} met with TriForce, at [[Neutral Grounds]] in Manhattan. Wes agreed to allow DA to join forces with Empire Arcadia and become the official ''Smash Bros.'' competitive gaming division for Empire Arcadia. '''Deadly Alliance''' was a crew of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' players organized in either 2002 or 2003.<ref>https://youtu.be/SlxS_Wt8Xfw?t=6m24s</ref> The initial group consisted of Wes, {{sm|HellFire}}, {{sm|Kamaal}} (aka Rock Man), and {{sm|KillaOR}}. Initially, the members of DA dedicated themselves to solo [[main]]ing a single character, that way they would not require training against other people. Centered primarily in New York, the group was known for pioneering the meta games of certain characters such as {{SSBM|Link}}, {{SSBM|Samus}}, {{SSBM|Luigi}}, {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, and {{SSBM|Peach}}. This helped establish certain techniques like Samus's [[super wavedash]] and [[pivoting]], also known as the DA Dash. Under EMP, Deadly Alliance has won a number of competitions which were eventually documented and certified by Guinness World Record via [https://twitter.com/GWRnews/status/231307419660193792 Twitter] and [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151009483754032&set=pb.6732359031.-2207520000.1375438425.&type=3&theater Facebook], naming Empire Arcadia as the most documented tournament winning team in competitive gaming. Several members of DA/EMP created a non-profit community service organization called [http://sosgamers.org/ SOS Gamers].
