Cosmos began competing in {{forwiiu}} playing {{SSB4|Corrin}}, and was considered the greatest Corrin player of all-time. He began as an online player from Texas before moving to [[Ohio]]. He first broke out onto the competitive scene at {{Trn|The Big House 7}}, where he defeated {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|Salem}}, and {{Sm|VoiD}}, en route to a 3rd place finish. He continued to rise in 2018 and consistently placed at or near the top 8 at major tournaments, which culminated in his victory at {{Trn|The Big House 8}}, the only time a Corrin player won a major. Due to his performances in the final year of ''Smash 4'', Cosmos was ranked 30th on th e[[PGR 100]]. | |||
Cosmos | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Cosmos began as a {{SSBU|Inkling}} player and was considered the greatest Inkling player of all-time and the best Inkling player in the early metagame, frequently placing top 8 during the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]] season and as such was a contender for the season's top 10. Following a decline in performance, he eventually picked up {{SSBU|Pikachu}} and {{SSBU|Corrin}} in the online metagame before settling with just playing {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}} after the character's release. He is considered the best solo-Pyra and Mythra player in the world and one of the few Pyra and Mythra players who used her successfully as a solo-main, though his performances with the character remained inconsistent as the metagame progressed. | ||
Cosmos | Cosmos is also a prominent [[doubles]] player, having seen high placements with many different partners, most notably {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, at several major tournaments in both games. | ||

Cosmos is characterized by his aggressive decision making and heavier utilization of {{SSBU|Mythra}} compared to other top Pyra and Mythra players. He spends the majority of a stock on Mythra, using her quick mobility and strong frame data to rack up damage and force opponents into disadvantageous situations. Cosmos often switches to Pyra once they reach a high enough percent or if they're put off-stage; his Pyra is known for attempting hard reads with forward smash due to her extreme kill power. He is also known for being proficient in the [[ditto]], forcing both {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|MkLeo}} to switch off at {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Finale}}. | Cosmos is characterized by his aggressive decision making and heavier utilization of {{SSBU|Mythra}} compared to other top Pyra and Mythra players.
