Jarc got Super Smash Brothers 64 the day it came out, and shared the enjoyable experience with his friends, that would later become his SSBM teammates. Along with his friends, he competed in a few minor SSB:64 tournaments in the area, mostely at La Ronde. When he and his friends learned that there was going to be a sequel on the Gamecube, they went hysterical. At that time, Jarc didn't have a gamecube, so he could only play with his friends (wich he did almost every weekend) during the years 2002, 2003 and 2004. He still had no knowlege of advanced techniques.<br><br>

In late 2005, while trying to find some 1v1 videos, Jarc stumbled uppon [[smashboards]], where he discovered the many advanced techniques he had not yet heard of. He also got a hold of one of the top Canadian smashers at the time, [[Pkmvodka]], whom drove almost two hours to come play with Jarc. This is when Jarc finnaly saw the importance of wavedashing and l-cancelling and vowed to become as good as [[Pkmvodka]]. Later that year, Jarc went to his first tournament, [[No Mercy vs. the World]], where his newly aquired skills came in handy to defeat some players. Though he didn't get very far bracket-wise, he learned alot from that day and was able to meet [[Chesterr01]], [[TestRider]], [[Bamsoldier]], [[Vwins]] and other very skilled smashers that would later on become his training partners.

In late 2006, he finnaly went to his first American tournament, in Connecticut. There, he witnessed [[KoreanDJ]] and [[PC Chris]] in action. He came back to Montreal with new knowlege of the game and used it to his advantage in the following tournament. His trip down to USA made him an overall better player, and it helped him get into the East Coast Canada power rankings, which was his goal for quite some time. Although he doesn't practice as much as before, when he does, it's with the top Canadian players, which explains why his skill level is growing very quickly.
