'''Samsora''' is a | '''Samsora''' is a Smasher from Slidell, [[Louisiana]], who is currently residing in [[Tristate|New York City]]. He is known for being the best [[Peach]] player across two different ''Smash'' titles. | ||
He made his competitive debut in {{forwiiu}}, where he was the greatest {{SSB4|Peach}} player of all-time, being ranked on every iteration of the [[PGR]] since [[PGR v2]] and being ranked 22nd on the [[PGR 100]] as the only Peach player in the ranking's top 50. He is especially known for his performances in 2018, where he became a contender for the season's top 10 and notably placed 2nd at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}, the closest a Peach player came to winning a major. In addition to Peach, he also had {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} and {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} secondaries. | |||
Samsora | Following ''Smash 4'', Samsora continued to main {{SSBU|Peach}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and became one of the best ''Ultimate'' players of the early metagame, peaking at 2nd on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]]. He won a few majors during this period, most notably {{Trn|Shine 2019}}, which still remains the only supermajor win from a Peach or {{SSBU|Daisy}} player. He was eventually banned from competitive play due to his involvement in {{Sm|CaptainZack}}'s controversy. Although he has since appeared at a few events, he failed to capture the success he saw in the early metagame. Nevertheless, Samsora is still considered one of the greatest Peach/Daisy players of all-time, especially since no players of either princess were able to win a major for several years after the early metagame. | ||
