'''Ixis''', also known as '''IxisNaugus''' is a professional [[smasher]] in the United Kingdom, who mains {{SSB4|Sonic}} in ''[[Smash 4]]'', and previously mained {{SSBB|Bowser}} in ''[[Brawl]]''. His success within the United Kingdom has led him to become known as the country's best player as well as the best Sonic player in Europe. He currently sits at the top of the [http://smashboards.com/threads/smash-4-uk-power-rankings-winter-16.429809/ Smash 4 UK Power Rankings], ahead of {{Sm|J.Miller}}. He has two wins over {{Sm|ESAM}}.
'''IxisNaugus''', or simply '''Ixis''', is a professional [[smasher]] in the United Kingdom who mains {{SSB4|Sonic}} in ''[[Smash 4]]'' and previously mained {{SSBB|Bowser}} in ''[[Brawl]]''. His success within the United Kingdom has led him to become known as the country's best player as well as the best Sonic player in Europe. He has wins over players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}. He is currently ranked 1st on the [[United Kingdom Power Rankings|England Smash 4 Power Rankings]] and 3rd on the [[European Smash 4 Power Rankings]].


As the UK's top-ranked player, Ixis has won a large number of tournaments within the country. Despite this, Ixis has yet to make a major impact outside of the UK, despite travelling to both [[Apex 2015]] and [[GENESIS 3]] where he came 65th. Ixis's most recent notable performances on a European scale was 9th place at Swedish tournament [[BEAST 6]], where he was eliminated by {{Sm|Sodrek}}; PPT-S in Germany, where he reached Grand Finals, losing to {{Sm|Abadango}}; and 4th place at Europe's largest tournament to date, [[Syndicate 2016]].
As the UK's top-ranked player, IxisNaugus has won a large number of tournaments within the country, and had made notable performances on a European scale, with placings such as 9th place at Swedish tournament {{Trn|BEAST 6}}, where he was eliminated by {{Sm|Sodrek}}; {{Trn|PPT Summer}} in Germany, where he lost to {{Sm|Abadango}} in Grand Finals; and 4th place at Europe's largest ''Smash 4'' tournament, {{Trn|Syndicate 2016}}. Despite this, IxisNaugus was unable to make a major impact outside of Europe - traveling to the USA for {{Trn|Apex 2015}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 3}} and placing 65th both times - until {{Trn|EVO 2017}}, where he double eliminated {{Sm|ESAM}} to make it into top 48. IxisNaugus later returned to the USA to compete at {{Trn|Midwest Mayhem}} where he finished 13th. Thanks to his outstanding placements at European tournaments and good results outside of Europe, he was ranked 89th on the [[PGR 100|Panda Global Rankings 100]], the only smasher from the UK to make it onto the list.
However, at [[EVO 2017]], he would finally make an impact outside Europe, double eliminating {{Sm|ESAM}} to make it into top 48.

IxisNaugus, or simply Ixis, is a professional smasher in the United Kingdom who mains Sonic in Smash 4 and previously mained Bowser in Brawl. His success within the United Kingdom has led him to become known as the country's best player as well as the best Sonic player in Europe. He has wins over players such as ESAM and Glutonny. He is currently ranked 1st on the England Smash 4 Power Rankings and 3rd on the European Smash 4 Power Rankings.

As the UK's top-ranked player, IxisNaugus has won a large number of tournaments within the country, and had made notable performances on a European scale, with placings such as 9th place at Swedish tournament BEAST 6, where he was eliminated by Sodrek; PPT Summer in Germany, where he lost to Abadango in Grand Finals; and 4th place at Europe's largest Smash 4 tournament, Syndicate 2016. Despite this, IxisNaugus was unable to make a major impact outside of Europe - traveling to the USA for Apex 2015 and GENESIS 3 and placing 65th both times - until EVO 2017, where he double eliminated ESAM to make it into top 48. IxisNaugus later returned to the USA to compete at Midwest Mayhem where he finished 13th. Thanks to his outstanding placements at European tournaments and good results outside of Europe, he was ranked 89th on the Panda Global Rankings 100, the only smasher from the UK to make it onto the list.

Play style[edit]

As a Sonic main, IxisNaugus relies on fast-paced gameplay, and not giving opponents time to think. His Sonic stands out compared to other Sonic professionals due to his high use of Spin Dash for jumping and landing purposes, even using it for backward momentum.
