Wobbles, previously known as Wobbles the Phoenix or Honorbound, is an American smasher known for playing the Ice Climbers. He has become infamous for his use of the "grab, neutral attack, forward tilt" infinite combo that effectively pushed him within the top 10 finalists in his debut major tournament, NCT2. He placed first at Evo South 2007. Wobbles is currently ranked 1st on the Arizona Melee Power Rankings.
Wobbles' claim to fame also sparked a series of discussions concerning whether or not the Ice Climbers' forward tilt infinite should be banned in competitive play. The Smash Back Room decided that the infinite should go unbanned in tournaments. The technique was then named Wobbling.
He is known for popularizing the term "Arizona Anger" when he threw his controller in what is now an infamous match against SilentSpectre.[1]
Perhaps Wobbles' most memorable performance was EVO 2013, where he defied all expectations and placed 2nd, defeating top players Mango, Dr. Peepee, and Hungrybox in Winners' Bracket. However, he would later lose to Mango by a score of 0-3, 1-3 in Grand Finals. After this dominating performance with a character once considered to be below the threshold for a high tier character, Wobbles announced his retirement from the competitive community.
