Delphiki has written a guide on competitive smash play which focuses on the fluidity and nature of the metagame. It explains the nature of the metagame as related to characters, tournament rules, the community, and the individual player. He has also created a guide to playing the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} at a competitive level, featured on AllisBrawl.com.
He mains [[Ice Climbers]] and [[Pichu]], and occassionally uses an assortment of others.
 
His Ice Climbers style relies heavily on desynching, and he in fact desynchs much more than most other professional Ice Climber players. He has been quoted as saying "I main Popo, but my secondary is Nana."
