He is {{Sm|Aniolas}}' younger brother. Initially considered a promising player, Armada later emerged as the best Peach player in Europe, but his fame continued to grow in the community. 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 considered one of the best Peach mains in the world, and with an ELO score of 2149, the [[SSBPD]] ranks him as the best ''Melee'' player in the world, edging out competition from {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and {{Sm|Mango}}. | ||
In 2009, he won [[Epita Smash Arena 3]] and [[Smash Attack (tournament)|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 2009, he won [[Epita Smash Arena 3]] and [[Smash Attack (tournament)|Smash Attack]], in which he ranked first in both Melee and Brawl.

Armada has sometimes played in ''Brawl'' tournaments, primarily using {{SSBB|Sheik}}. Despite this, Armada has stated he only attends ''Brawl'' tournaments when there is a concurrent '''Melee'' tournament. | |||

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". Despite being considered one of the greatest Peach players in the world, Armada is known to switch to Fox if he is uncomfortable with the matchup, or not confident with 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. | |||
