'''Marss''' is a | '''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. | ||
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 | 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. | ||
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}}. | |||
