'''Nicki''' is a German ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} main with a {{SSBM|Fox}} secondary. He started playing in 2015 and first became ranked in Germany in July 2017 as a solo Fox player. With Fox, he defeated many of Europe's best players, including {{Sm|Professor Pro}} at {{Trn|Fête}} and {{Sm|Pricent}} and {{Sm|nebbii}} at {{Trn|Heir 5}}. In addition, he has defeated several notable international players such as {{Sm|Albert}} at {{Trn|Shine 2019}} and {{Sm|Nickemwit}} and {{Sm|Zamu}} at [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-parking-lot-feat-professor-pro-spud-nicki-frenzy-fatgoku/event/melee-singles-thursday-12-13/brackets/466010/823629 The Parking Lot - Thursday]. At his height with the character, he was ranked 83rd on the [[MPGR 2019]].

Around the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021}}, Nicki began entering events with Ice Climbers. He has gradually relegated his Fox to a secondary, stating that he finds Ice Climbers more enjoyable to play. With Ice Climbers, he is best known for his run at {{Trn|Don't Park on the Grass 2024}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Zain}}, {{Sm|Cody Schwab}}, {{Sm|Jmook}}, {{Sm|Joshman}}, and {{Sm|Axe}}, alongside {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} using both Ice Climbers and Fox, to place 3rd. This performance, alongside many other strong results both in Europe and in North America, led him to rank 10th on the [[SSBMRank 2024]], becoming the third European player to rank top 10 on a yearly ''Melee'' ranking, as well as the first German player to rank top 10 on a global ranking in any Smash game.
