== | '''Recipherus''' is a retired ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Sheik}} main from Los Angeles, [[California]]. He was well-known for briefly being considered ''Melee''{{'}}s best player in the game's competitive beginnings before {{Sm|Ken}} emerged, back when {{SSBM|tournament rulesets}} still had [[item]]s on and had [[Stage legality|most stages legal]], while he would remain Ken's strongest competition in the pre-[[MLG]] era after Ken started competing. He consistently placed top 3 at all tournaments he entered during this time, while also travelling across the US to compete, notably placing 2nd at {{Trn|MOAST}} and 1st at {{Trn|Snexus 2}}, and additionally won a then-record-setting $8,000 for 1st at [[IVGF Northwest Regionals]] (a record he would hold until {{Sm|PC Chris}} earned $10,000 for winning {{Trn|MLG Las Vegas 2006}} over three years later). His dominance in this time period would retroactively get him ranked 2nd by [[RetroSSBMRank]] for their 2001-2003 ranking, being only outranked by Ken. | ||

In 2004, when the MLG era kicked off, Recipherus would attend the final Tournament Go and ''Melee''{{'}}s first supermajor, {{Trn|Tournament Go 6}}, but he would have by far his worst performance yet, placing 17th. After this, he would quietly retire and never compete in a ''Melee'' tournament again, as he found it too difficult to keep up with the rising level of competition while having increasingly less time to practice and attend tournaments himself.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3bgm4t/hey_smashers_this_is_jeremy_but_you_guys_probably/csm4uwn/</ref> He would make a reappearance in ''[[Brawl]]'' shortly after the game was released, but this return was very brief, as after entering only a couple tournaments, he would disappear from the ''Smash'' community again. He was mentioned in the ''[[The Smash Brothers]]'' documentary, but was not asked for an interview, despite Recipherus later stating he would have been opened to an interview.<ref>https://smashboards.com/threads/the-smash-brothers-series-discussion.341152/page-2#post-15902006</ref> In June 2015, Recipherus did an AMA on the ''Smash'' [[subreddit]], r/Smashbros, but indicated that he was not interested in returning to competitive ''Smash'', and that remains Recipherus' last known involvement with the ''Smash'' community.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3bgm4t/hey_smashers_this_is_jeremy_but_you_guys_probably/|title=Recipherus's Reddit AMA}}</ref> | |||

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE2ArM8LuJY Tournament Go 4 Grand Finals - Ken (Marth) vs. Recipherus (Sheik)] - The only known recorded tournament match in ''Melee'' of Recipherus that is online, with Ken commentating the final game of their grand finals set at {{Trn|Tournament Go 4}}. Tournament Go matches were known to be recorded and sold in DVDs by {{Sm|Matt Deezie}}, so it's possible Recipherus had more matches recorded, but most of the contents from these DVDs have not been uploaded online and so are currently considered {{iw|wikipedia|lost media}}. | |||
