'''Marss''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} player from Cranston, Rhode Island who currently resides in Massachusetts. He is considered the best Zero Suit Samus player in the world, and was one of the best players in the world prior to the pandemic. Marss is currently ranked 11th on the [[LumiRank 2023/North America Top 200|LumiRank 2023 North America]] and 24th on the [[LumiRank 2023]], and formerly ranked 1st on the [[Massachusetts Ultimate Power Rankings]] and 2nd on the [[New England Power Rankings#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rankings|New England Ultimate Power Rankings]].
'''Marss''' is a Smasher from Cranston, [[Rhode Island]] who currently resides in Massachusetts. He is known for being one of the best [[Zero Suit Samus]] players in two separate ''Smash'' titles, as well as one of the best ''Smash'' players from New England.


In ''[[Smash 4]]'', he is considered the second best {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} player in the world, after {{Sm|Nairo}}. He is currently ranked 1st on [[New England Power Rankings|NER 2017-2018]] and 16th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]].
He was first known for his performances in {{forwiiu}}, where he was considered the second best {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} player in the world after {{Sm|Nairo}}, appearing on all five iterations of the [[PGR]], ranking top 20 on every list until the [[PGR v5]], and ultimately ranking 16th on the [[PGR 100]]. He especially was the undisputed best ''Smash'' player in New England up until 2018, becoming the region's primary representative in top competitive play. Although he never won a major, he came close at many events, most notably placing 2nd at {{Trn|The Big House 7}}.  


Marss is also a very talented doubles player and usually teams with {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}; with the pair being formerly considered the best ''Ultimate'' doubles teams in the world, notably placing 1st at majors such as {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, and {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}. However, he also has lot of success with other partners, such as placing 1st at {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}} with Tweek and 2nd at {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} with MkLeo. As a result, he is considered one of the best doubles players in the world.
In-spite of the character's nerfs and initial lukewarm perception, Marss continued to play {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', establishing himself as not only the greatest Zero Suit Samus player of all-time, but also one of the best players during this time. His performances, including winning several majors such as {{Trn|Collision 2019}}, {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}}, and {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, contributed to an improvement to Zero Suit Samus' perception in the early metagame, leading many to believe the character was a top-tier during this time. Following the pandemic, Marss began shifting his focus towards content creation, and despite seeing some occasional success was never able to achieve the same level of consistency he saw in the early metagame. With Zero Suit Samus' results and perception declining during this time, Marss remains the primary Zero Suit Samus representative in competitive play in spite of his lower activity at open major events.


On March 22nd, 2019, Marss was signed by {{Team|Panda}} along with {{Sm|Coney}},<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1109262902366597121|title=Marss joins Panda Global}}</ref> but was released January 16th, 2023 following Panda's collapse.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Marss_NE/status/1615125863502077952|title=Marss leaves Panda}}</ref> He later signed with {{Team|Luminosity Gaming}} on May 18th, 2024.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Luminosity/status/1791891519076499950#m|title=Marss joins Luminosity}}</ref>
In addition to singles, Marss is often considered one of the best doubles players in the world, having seen success with a variety of different partners at many majors. He regularly teams with fellow New England player {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, and the pair is considered one of the best doubles teams in the world, especially in the early metagame where they won doubles at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, and {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}.
