KishPrime is an Indiana Smasher. He uses Jigglypuff and is a member of the Ship of Fools.
Influence on Tournament Rules
KishPrime has been a major contributor to the defining of tournament standards for many years. He brought the neutral stage list and advanced slobs counterpicks into the Midwest from the East Coast, while slightly revising them and pushing for an open stage list for counterpicks. Stage bans were developed in the context of these discussions in the Midwest. His MELEE-FC ruleset was considered the best of its day, and was used at MLG with a slightly changed ban rule, which soon returned to a permanent stage strike. The MLG rules were generally considered to be the national standard until it was disbanded.
He also helped to define the crew rules first devised by KishSquared into what they are today. He first proposed for crew counterpicks that allowed for a stage selection by the entering player, while allowing a character change in response.
Community Contributions
He participated in the Smash Panel Power Rankings project from its inception to its close, and was one of the three who led the panel after the retirement of Chillindude. Though it came the closest to true national rankings of any other such project, it was finally disbanded after backlash from the community demonstrated that the effort was not appreciated.
After this effort, KishPrime fought for the establishment of regional power rankings, which are now successfully run in many areas of the country. He personally runs the Midwest Power Rankings.
KishPrime is a moderator of the Midwest regional forum, along with AlphaZealot.
