Tweek is a Smasher from Burlington, New Jersey, known for being one of the greatest Smash players across two different Smash titles.
Tweek's competitive career began in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where he initially played Bowser Jr.. He was considered the greatest Bowser Jr. player of all time, pioneering the character's metagame and earning results that no other Bowser Jr. players were able to replicate. He eventually dropped Bowser Jr. for Cloud and later picked up Bayonetta, while maintaining a Donkey Kong secondary throughout his career; he is considered one of the greatest Cloud, Bayonetta, and Donkey Kong players of all time, and especially won several majors with the former two characters, including 2GGC: MkLeo Saga and 2GG: Hyrule Saga. His Smash 4 career peaked in the game's final year, where he was considered the second-best player in the world, after his longtime rival MkLeo. Ultimately, he was ranked 7th on the PGR 100.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he was initially a Wario player but frequently cycled between several characters, including Wolf, Pokémon Trainer, and Joker, while also maintaining Roy and Young Link as prominent secondaries. He was considered the second-best player in the early metagame, most notably winning Frostbite 2019 and Get On My Level 2019, as well as one of the best Wario and Pokémon Trainer players of all time. He eventually dropped all of his early metagame characters for Diddy Kong in the post-pandemic metagame, while also picking up Sephiroth as a secondary. He is considered the greatest Diddy Kong player of all time, pioneering the character's metagame and contributing to the character's rise in the post-pandemic metagame, and is the only Diddy Kong player to win majors, most notably winning several events in the Luminosity Makes Moves series. In addition, he is known as one of the best Sephiroth players of all time and often uses Sephiroth to counterpick against matchups that did not favor Diddy Kong.
Tweek was sponsored by Phoenix1 as their first Smash player from February 10, 2017 to May 17, 2018.[1] He was signed by Team SoloMid from January 24th, 2019 to February 28th, 2023.[2][3] Tweek was signed by Luminosity Gaming along with MkLeo on March 23rd, 2023.[4]
Tweek is well-known for being very methodical and technical across all Smash titles, with a playstyle that emphasizes punishes. This style allows Tweek to quickly rack up damage or even kill off reads, which in turn lessens his reliance on having to react to options, making him an extremely consistent player that is rarely upset by players seeded much lower than him, also allowing Tweek to surmount significant comebacks if he originally takes a deficit. Tweek is also known for his fundamentals as a player; although moreso for Ultimate, he has shown an ability to quickly pick up and master a character for tournament use.
Tweek's Cloud was infamous for refusing to use Limit on the first stock to preserve the movement and recovery buff and also potentially land an early kill on his opponent's second stock. His switch to Bayonetta in Smash 4 saw an increase in consistency to his results as Bayonetta's Witch Twist is a strong, safe combo starter, allowing Tweek more freedom when playing neutral.
Throughout much of Ultimate's history, Tweek has shown great skill with a diverse range of the game's cast, being able to quickly master different characters, and has been able to take games off of top players with over seven different characters. This is perhaps best exemplified by his run to Grand Finals at EVO 2019 with Pokémon Trainer after only maining them for a couple of months. However, this same talent also led to an inability to stay with a set character. Until finding his footing with Diddy Kong, Tweek had been known to periodically switch mains and counterpick his opponents with varying results, where at times it can be argued that if he consistently stuck with a single character he could have found better success.
With Diddy Kong, Tweek maintains an extremely technical and execution-heavy playstyle, which relies on an overall patient gameplan, waiting for his opponent to make mistakes before unleashing an explosive punish game. He is arguably best-known for his incredible creativity and highly technical setups with Banana Peel in all aspects of the game, whether it be ledge-trapping, edge-guarding, combos, or disadvantage, and has pioneered Diddy Kong's metagame across all fronts.
