PC Chris is a smasher from New York. He was considered to be among the best Fox and Falco players in the world during the 2006-2008 era. He was ranked fourth on the Smash Panel Power Rankings when it was active and 3rd on the North Atlantic Regional Power Rankings. The "PC" part of his name comes from his location, Port Chester. He also received minor television coverage in "True Life: I'm A Professional Gamer".
History
PC Chris started his MLG career by winning MLG New York Opener 2006, the first tournament in the MLG 2006 Pro Circuit, defeating Ken twice. However, at MLG Dallas 2006, he lost to Ken in winners' finals and then to ChuDat in losers' finals, placing 3rd. At MLG Anaheim 2006, he lost to ChuDat again in winners' semis, then defeated KoreanDJ, Isai, and ChuDat in losers' bracket, and won the first set of grand finals against Ken, but still lost the second set, placing 2nd. He lost to ChuDat and Azen at MLG Chicago 2006, placing 5th. PC Chris also won MELEE-FC6, defeating Mew2King in two consecutive sets during grand finals.
MLG Orlando 2006 proved to be his worst tournament in the season, as he lost to Azen and then to HugS early in losers' bracket, finishing at a disappointing 13th place. Despite this, his placement of 2nd at MLG New York Playoffs 2006, where he defeated ChuDat twice but lost to Azen twice, allowed him to successfully qualify for the MLG 2006 championship. PC Chris eventually managed to win MLG Las Vegas 2006 and take the MLG 2006 championship, defeating Azen, Isai, and KoreanDJ twice.
In 2007, PC Chris placed 4th at Cataclysm 3, losing to Mew2King and KoreanDJ, 3rd at MLG Long Island 2007, losing to Mew2King twice, 5th at Pound 2, losing to ChuDat and Mew2King, and 2nd at MELEE-FC Diamond, losing to Mew2King in two sets of grand finals. He did, however, win Zero Challenge 3, sweeping through losers' bracket and defeating Mew2King in two sets of grand finals after losing to Mew2King in winners' quarters.
PC Chris qualified for the EVO 2007 championship by placing 3rd at EVO East 2007 and 2nd at EVO West 2007. He eventually placed 4th at EVO World 2007. PC Chris's final three top performances were 5th at Viva La Smashtaclysm, losing to Azen and Mew2King, 3rd at Pound 3, losing to Mew2King and Mango, and 4th at Revival of Melee, losing to Mango and DaShizWiz.
PC Chris spent years in a semi-retired state; while he still participated in several national tournaments and usually made it into the bracket, his results were not nearly as notable as they once were. PC Chris returned to the Melee scene in May 2014 at the event Justice 3, with this being confirmed towards the end of said event's trailer. He placed 17th in Melee singles at the event. However, he has not made any notable appearances at tournaments since.
