'''pidgezero_one''' is a Canadian smasher. She is a former [[commentator]] and travels to major tournaments featuring ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 64]]'', having been one of the lead [[TO]]’s for ''Brawl'' at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}} and [[Super Smash Con 2019|2019]]. As a competitor, her most proficient game is ''Smash 64''. She used to be ranked 8th on the [[Southern Ontario Power Rankings]] in 2015.

pidgezero_one worked on raising awareness of ''Wiimmfi'' on [[Smashboards]] in anticipation of the shutdown of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Under the direction of Diddy Kong of ''Kitty Corp: Meow Mix'', she wrote [http://smashboards.com/threads/355374/ a guide] on connecting to dedicated Wii servers post-shutdown. She also worked with [[Project M#Developers|SOJ]] in writing an optimized [http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/wiki/brawlnetplay netplay code] for ''Brawl'' for use with [[Dolphin]] to improve the game launch process. Their code was later integrated into Dolphin's settings by the emulator's developers.

pidgezero_one gained notability for reviving the ''Smash 64'' tournament community in Toronto. She has run the ''Flaoc'' tournament series since early 2014, and has been co-hosting frequent training sessions for newer players with YBOMBB at their shared home. She is also helping maintain the ''Brawl'' community by adding it to summer ''Flaoc'' tournaments and starting the ''What's Dream Land?'' series. She also is frequently hired to run tournaments at local conventions, which she uses as an opportunity to promote the tournament community to newcomers. Her resources include a tournament event calendar for directory website [http://ontario-smash.com Ontario Smash], which she created and programmed to automatically use [[Facebook]] event data. She is working on expanding this code to work for Smash communities around the world.

pidgezero_one is a former staff member and the IRC channel owner at [[Reddit|/r/smashbros]], an occational news writer for Smashboards, and has [http://www.meleeitonme.com/i-want-to-get-into-smash-64-where-do-i-start/ written] for [[Melee It On Me]]. She occasionally appeared as a guest on the ''SmashCast'', ''Project Smash Online Roundtable'', and ''Hypest'' podcasts, and was a featured guest in [[CLASH Tournaments]]' Roundtable Discussion during [[Twitch]]'s ''Smash Community Spotlight'' week. She is an occasional consultant for ''Smash 64'' and ''Brawl'' development and marketing on [http://www.smashladder.com/ Smash Ladder]. She worked as a researcher on Canadian children's television/[[YouTube]] show ''[http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/whatsnew/detail/0iiqLkdJXHeI2c6RBxorcain9LqUsVlb Gaming Show (In My Parents' Garage)]'', resulting in the addition of competitive ''Smash'' content to the show, including guest appearances by {{Sm|Nakat}}.  

For her efforts, she claims that she came [http://twitter.com/pidgezero_one/status/473224310719401986 very close] to receiving an invitation to [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational]], but was ultimately rejected for excessive low-quality posting on ''Smashboards'' and [[Twitter]]. However, she later was one of a select few smashers to receive ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' from Nintendo of Canada before official release as acknowledgement of her efforts.
