The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Armada is a smasher from Sweden who mains Peach. He is Aniolas' younger brother. He recently improved a lot, emerging as the best Peach player in Europe. In July 2007, he surprised the whole community by claiming 4th place during RoX4 and almost kicking Nihonjin out of the losers bracket. Armada is now considered the best Peach player in the world, and the SSBPD ranks him as the top player of the world, with 2149 points to his name.

In 2009, he won Epita Smash Arena 3 and Smash Attack, in which he ranked first in both Melee and Brawl. He also attended Genesis, in which he won sets against Dashizwiz, Mew2King and Mango in the winners brackets, and played undefeated before losing to Mango in 2 sets during Grand Finals, placing 2nd in the Melee tournament.

In 2010 he entered Pound 4, which was his 2nd US tournament. He placed 4th, which some considered disappointing in comparison to his upset-laced placing at Genesis. He also attended Apex 2010 and placed 2nd.

In 2011, Armada started using Young Link against Hungrybox at Pound 5, after losing to him at Apex 2010 and placed 2nd. He also won Genesis 2, beating Mango to claim 1st place.

In 2012, Armada won Apex 2012 in both Melee singles and doubles (teaming with Mew2King), having beaten top professionals like Shroomed, Dr. Peepee, Mango, and Hungrybox.

Armada is well known for his use of dash attacks and up aerials with Peach, which he uses to set up and execute what some people refer to as an 'Armada Combo'. Although he picked up Peach less than a year ago, he has already fundamentally changed the way Peach is played in Europe. He is considered the top player in Europe, as well as the main competition for Mango, who is considered nearly unbeatable. Armada is known to switch to Fox if he is uncomfortable in the matchup, or unconfident in his Peach. He did so in the final match of his set vs. Mango at Genesis and in doubles vs. Hungrybox and Hax$. He has proved his secondaries to be solid, but not to the point that Mango has reached with his.

He plays Brawl too, maining Sheik, but he claims that he doesn't attend any Brawl tournament if there is no Melee event at the same time.
