TaleOfTheToaster is a smasher and commentator from the United Kingdom. He specialises in playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, using Meta Knight to reach the pro bracket of Super Smash Con 2018 and Super Smash Con 2019. TaleOfTheToaster was also an active competitor in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U without any major success, but later reached the pro bracket for the game at Super Smash Con 2019 using Sonic. TaleOfTheToaster regularly attends Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournaments to a string of moderate results in his home country, maining R.O.B. since the game's launch.
In Ultimate, TaleOfTheToaster was ranked among the Top 100 players in the United Kingdom during the country's first competitive season, and 21st in the live ranking for his home region in Northern England, although his success was much more limited in the second season and in online tournaments. Somewhat by default, TaleOfTheToaster is also the only British player collecting notable results in worldwide Brawl tournaments in modern years.
TaleOfTheToaster regularly commentates tournaments within the United Kingdom, as well as overseas events such as Smash @ Xanadu tournaments when travelling to the United States. Some of his notable casting credits in Europe include Syndicate 2019, the UKIE Ultimate Circuit Finale, Albion 4, Regen 2023 and Valhalla IV.
Starting in September 2022, TaleOfTheToaster would also begin commentating majors in North America, starting with Glitch - Regen, where he casted the Top 16.
TaleOfTheToaster also actively creates content for YouTube to an audience of over 20,000 subscribers, focusing on the Inazuma Eleven series and robotic combat, though has previously produced series and videos pertaining to the Smash series. He is also a SmashWiki editor, and was most active when Brawl was the newest game, notably launching the List of SSBB Music series of articles.
