'''t0mmy''' is one of the team players in [[Super Smash Twins]]; the other being his twin brother [[Smasher:T1mmy|t1mmy]]. The two numbers reflect the binary 10 which equates 2, signifying a union in separation as twins.
'''t0mmy''' has been a smasher and tournament organizer from Eugene, Oregon since the beginning days of Oregon's Smash scene. He was ranked 3rd on the [[Pacific Northwest Brawl Power Rankings]] and was [https://web.archive.org/web/20081203033114/http://allisbrawl.com:80/group.aspx?id=81 ranked #1 in Oregon]. For some time, he was [http://smashboards.com/threads/the-top-5-brawl-us-can-mex.296541 considered] to be one of the best American {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} mains. t0mmy is a member of [[Super Smash Twins]], along with his twin brother, {{Sm|t1mmy}}.


He lives in Northwest United States of America, and he's currently Smashing in Eugene, OR. Occasionally plays in NorCal and Washington areas, but has Smashed from east to west coast.
==History==
t0mmy started playing competitive ''Smash'' with ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. TANG 9 marked one of his earliest appearances outside his hometown in Fall 2006. Since then he has competed in and helped organized many early state and local tournaments including the SF:E series and other events. Later, he competed in the bigger competitive scene with events like MLG, 0C2, and NCT2.


== History ==
After ''Brawl's'' release, t0mmy switched focus from Melee and scored 1st place in many Oregon state events and went on to win many major Pacific Northwest tournaments (RCB series and GameClucks series). Noticing a decline in attendance he announced his retirement from the "local" scene and focused on hosting events to help bolster tournament growth, but continued to play outside the state to represent Oregon, where he scored wins in Washington around the time of {{sm|Felix}}'s top 3 placing at an MLG event (MLG Raleigh). His highest Smash Bros. Brawl placing in a major was at Evo 2k9 in ''Brawl'' Singles taking 9th place.
He started playing ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the N64 at a game store pre-release demo. He fell in love with it within moments and has proclaimed it as one of the only good games for the N64. Years later, Nintendo promoted the Nintendo GameCube through a series of events called the Gamecube Game Club where such games as Star Wars, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Smash Bros. Melee were available for demo. He attended an event in Philadelphia and enjoyed a competitive and fun atmosphere, then bragged about being one of the first people to play the game. But it wasn't until Fall of 2006 that changed the way he played the game from then on.


A local Game Crazy store hosted a Nintendo-sponsored Super Smash Bros. tournament. t0mmy entered with Pichu and his brother played through as Kirby. It was a free-for-all, items-on mess with broken controllers and two seasoned players (and previous champions) ganging up on the other players. t1mmy ended up winning the tournament, and more importantly it started their interest finding better players.
The first grassroots Pacific Northwest regional (East/West Washington, North/South Oregon, Idaho, and Canada players attended) tournament for {{for3ds}} (hosted at GameZone/GameClucks in Washington on Oct. 4th) started off his involvement with the next entry in the ''Smash'' series, where he took 2nd place. t0mmy went on to win nearly every weekly and monthly ''3DS'' event in his state leading up to the launch of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. His highest placing at Smash Wii U in a major was PAX 2015 where he took 9th place. However, his Smash 4 involvement was notably shorter lived than with previous Smash titles as he forsook entering any Smash event at Genesis 5 and instead focused on playing in Splatoon 2 on the team "Super Splat Squids".
Coming across Smashboards they found the closest tournament in Oregon was TANG hosted in Portland by [[Aftermath]]. The turnout was small (about 8 entrants) but was the spark that lit a wild fire of tournaments you now see in Oregon today. Soon thereafter, t0mmy and t1mmy met with Tudios and Shin and started a community in Eugene, starting the Smashfest:Eugene and Big City Brawl events and NOregon (Norther Oregon) grew larger with TANG, OATS, Empire Games, Gamer's Guild, and Portland Kombat.


By the time of Brawl's release the Smash Twins were hosting or overseeing the tournaments in Oregon and have successfully brought a regional tournament to Oregon with [http://http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=753 The Oregon Mega Games (The OMG)]. Recently they have picked up sponsorship for their events professionally, and they are now hosting both within the borders of Oregon and California. [http://http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=5074 Best in the West] marks their first regional event outside the borders of Oregon, looking to improve the tournament scene by sending invites to the best players in the region.
t0mmy reemerged to the competitive scene with the release of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', but with minimal tournament travel. He has been ranked #1 on his local PR throughout 2019. Outside of competition t0mmy is usually active within the local community including co-founding a Team named Synergy (later rebranded as Unity), and running an Oregon Smash Discord server.


He is currently part of the staff on AiB as a moderator of the R.O.B. boards and content team, also does work on the West Coast group, the Oregon Group, and the SSBB AiB Character Tier List group. Needless to say, he has his hands full as both a professional gamer and a supporter of the community.
