'''Gimpyfish''', sometimes just called '''Gimpy''', is a retired American [[smasher]] known primarily for being one of the few notable Bowser professionals in ''Melee''. Gimpyfish was known for refusing to be called by his real name at tournaments; he requested that all players call him "Gimpy" or an acceptable variant.


== In ''Melee''==
'''62-bit Hero''', formerly known as '''Gimpyfish''', is an American [[smasher]] known primarily for being one of the few notable {{SSBM|Bowser}} professionals in ''[[Melee]]''.
Gimpyfish remains infamous for his notoriously high skill with bottom tiered character {{SSBM|Bowser}}. Although there were many claims that Gimpyfish would be among the best of ''Melee'' players if he used a higher tier character, he stayed true to his Bowser, and instead chose to elevate Bowser to extremely high levels of play. Additionally, Gimpyfish focused less on [[technical skill]] and instead put more emphasis on [[mindgames]] and similar tactics. Gimpyfish was ranked 7th on the [[Washington Power Rankings]] before he moved to Southern California.


He made several Bowser [[combo video]]s, the last being "Gimpyfish: The Movie (aka Boozer Cute 2)", and his most famous being [http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=69005 Boozer Cute].
==Tournament history==
===In ''Melee''===
62-bit Hero was, and still remains, infamous for his notoriously high skill with the bottom-tiered character {{SSBM|Bowser}}, whom he elevated to extremely high levels of play. While some claimed that he would have performed much better had he mained a higher-tiered character, 62-bit Hero stayed true to Bowser and continued to place high at major tournaments with him. His success with Bowser stemmed from the fact that he had remarkable [[mindgames]] and cerebral play, both of which were necessary to make up for his character's weaknesses. He made several Bowser combo videos, the last being "Gimpyfish: The Movie (aka Boozer Cute 2)", and his most famous being [http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=69005 Boozer Cute], where he showed his Bowser's abilities against other opponents of his caliber. 62-bit Hero was ranked 7th on the [[Washington Power Rankings]] before he moved to Southern California, and prior to his retirement, was considered the best ''Melee'' Bowser player in the world. He is still considered one of the best Bowsers in the history of the game to this day, alongside {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}}.


At the beginning of 2009, Gimpyfish made a series of videos entitled "''[[Super Smash Bros. Metagame]]''". The series showed the respective [[metagame]] of each ''Melee'' character, compiled from years of gameplay.
62-bit Hero briefly came out of retirement and made a reappearance in [[EVO 2013]]'s ''Melee'' tournament. However, he underperformed in his brief return; he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gLOa_hvHno lost to] {{Sm|Scar}} in his first streamed set, and ultimately failed to make it out of the pool in loser's bracket. Until 2020, he made occasional appearances at locals, mostly playing ''Project M'', but remained largely inactive.


== In ''Brawl'' ==
In 2020, 62-bit Hero made a return to the ''Melee'' community upon the release of [[Project Slippi]] rollback netcode. While he has not seriously competed in netplay tournaments, he now actively plays the game once again, streaming his matchmaking sessions on Twitch throughout the summer and posting ''Melee''-related updates on his Twitter. He has even released a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaq0_8U8ox8 third installment of Boozer Cute], 12 years after the initial duology was made, showing his implementation of techniques that have since become modern staples, such as [[ledge-canceling]], into Bowser's play.
Prior to the release of ''Brawl'', Gimpyfish attended [[E For All]] to play the demo of the game; the thread, which [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=121329 can still be found on the forums], remains one of the most replied to and visited threads in the history of the SWF.


With the release of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Gimpyfish simply could not enjoy playing Bowser the way he did in Melee due to all of Bowser's [[Bowser (SSBB)#Changes from Melee to Brawl|changes]] and as such he now insists that "Bowser isn't playable in Brawl." Gimpyfish then considered using [[Meta Knight]], but decided to main [[Sheik]] after she was significantly weakened in ''Brawl'', thus allowing him once again to compete with a low-tier character. His first and latest combo video with Sheik has been released on YouTube with the name "The Triforce of Style".
=== In ''[[Brawl]]'' ===
Prior to the release of ''Brawl'', 62-bit Hero attended [[E For All]] to play the [[demo]] of the game; the thread, which [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=121329 can still be found on the forums], remains one of the most replied to and visited threads in the history of SmashBoards. In the thread, 62-bit Hero praised the game for its seemingly wonderful aesthetics and fluid, albeit slower, gameplay compared to ''Melee'', and focused especially on {{SSBB|Bowser}}, who now seemed to be a competent character due to the [[Bowser (SSBB)#Changes from Melee to Brawl|buffs]] he received.


==Retirement==
Ironically, when the game came out, 62-bit Hero could no longer enjoy playing Bowser competitively as he did in ''Melee'', insisting that Bowser was "unplayable" in ''Brawl''. 62-bit Hero then considered developing {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} for tournaments, but decided to main {{SSBB|Sheik}} after she was significantly weakened in ''Brawl'', thus allowing him once again to compete with a low-tier character. His first and only combo video with Sheik was released on YouTube with the name "The Triforce of Style". Despite making a combo video and attempting to play Sheik for a while, 62-bit Hero stopped playing ''Brawl'' soon after as he no longer found it enjoyable, and still widely criticizes the gameplay and changes.
Gimpyfish stated that he no longer plays Melee or Brawl and is "retired" from both games. Similar to {{Sm|Rickety}}, however, he continues to have close ties with the competitive scene; he attended the Washington regional tournament of TourneyPlay as play-by-play announcer, and uploaded match videos on YouTube a few days after. Gimpyfish remains active on the [[Smash World Forums]], as well holding a moderator position on both the ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' sections of the forums, as well as the regional boards; he has been known to use his mod powers for comedic effect, often by editing other people's posts.


==Outside of ''Smash''==
Despite disliking ''Brawl'' and most of its mods, 62-bit Hero actively played ''[[Project M]]'', where he returned to his old main, Bowser. Due to the significant buffs that Bowser received, 62-bit Hero performed extremely well in ''Project M'' locals, placing top 3 consistently during his peak and even being able to defeat top ''Melee'' players such as {{Sm|Silent Wolf}} in tournament. However, he eventually retired from competing once again, with no known showings at larger ''Project M'' tournaments.
Gimpyfish currently lives in Riverside, California, attending classes at the California Baptist University; his announced major was reported to be in Education and Kinesiology.
 
===In ''[[Smash 4]]''===
62-bit Hero was an avid player of {{forwiiu}} during its height of popularity, where he mained {{SSB4|Little Mac}}. Aside from regularly streaming [[For Glory]] mode on his Twitch channel, 62-bit Hero also hosted tournaments in the Washington area, attracting a wide array of players.
 
Though he dabbled in {{SSB4|Bowser}}, he almost exclusively played Little Mac due to his preference for "punching characters". He did, however, play {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}} as well, but rarely played him in tournament and only used him when playing online.
 
=== In ''[[Ultimate]]''===
Compared to other ''Smash'' games, 62-bit Hero has made seldom appearances at ''Ultimate'' tournaments, appearing only at {{Trn|Don't Park on the Grass 2018}} and a handful of locals. He continues to play {{SSBU|Bowser}} and has created content on ''Ultimate'', including various Elite Smash videos and a montage.
 
===Retirement===
A year or two after ''Brawl''{{'}}s release, 62-bit Hero stated that he had "retired" from ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Similar to {{Sm|Rickety}}, however, he continues to have close ties with the competitive scene. At the beginning of 2009, 62-bit Hero made a series of videos entitled "''[[Super Smash Bros. Metagame]]''"; the series showed the respective [[metagame]] of each ''Melee'' character, compiled from years of gameplay. Even throughout his inactive stage, 62-bit Hero made efforts to go to some ''Melee'' tournaments to spend time with other smashers or even serve as a play-by-play commentator and video uploader. 62-bit Hero remained active on [[SmashBoards]] for a while, as well holding a moderator position on both the ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' sections of the forums, as well as the regional boards; he has been known to use his mod powers for comedic effect, often by editing other people's posts.
 
During his retirement, 62-bit Hero still made small appearances at various tournaments. Aside from his aforementioned appearance at EVO 2013, he had gone to a handful of ''Melee'' and ''Project M'' tournaments earlier in the year, and routinely holds and attends smashfests featuring smashers from around the Washington area. He has also begun and promoted a new ''Smash'' crew, 62-bit Gaming, which consists of other well-known smashers such as {{sm|Bladewise}}. However, he has not gone to any other major national events during this time.
 
===Outside of ''Smash''===
62-bit Hero studied in the California Baptist University in Riverside, California; his announced major was reported to be in Education and Kinesiology. In addition, he is also the CEO and founder of 62-bit Gaming which sponsors professional smashers {{Sm|Bladewise}} and {{Sm|Vish}}.

62-bit Hero, formerly known as Gimpyfish, is an American smasher known primarily for being one of the few notable Bowser professionals in Melee.

Tournament history[edit]

In Melee[edit]

62-bit Hero was, and still remains, infamous for his notoriously high skill with the bottom-tiered character Bowser, whom he elevated to extremely high levels of play. While some claimed that he would have performed much better had he mained a higher-tiered character, 62-bit Hero stayed true to Bowser and continued to place high at major tournaments with him. His success with Bowser stemmed from the fact that he had remarkable mindgames and cerebral play, both of which were necessary to make up for his character's weaknesses. He made several Bowser combo videos, the last being "Gimpyfish: The Movie (aka Boozer Cute 2)", and his most famous being Boozer Cute, where he showed his Bowser's abilities against other opponents of his caliber. 62-bit Hero was ranked 7th on the Washington Power Rankings before he moved to Southern California, and prior to his retirement, was considered the best Melee Bowser player in the world. He is still considered one of the best Bowsers in the history of the game to this day, alongside DJ Nintendo.

62-bit Hero briefly came out of retirement and made a reappearance in EVO 2013's Melee tournament. However, he underperformed in his brief return; he lost to Scar in his first streamed set, and ultimately failed to make it out of the pool in loser's bracket. Until 2020, he made occasional appearances at locals, mostly playing Project M, but remained largely inactive.

In 2020, 62-bit Hero made a return to the Melee community upon the release of Project Slippi rollback netcode. While he has not seriously competed in netplay tournaments, he now actively plays the game once again, streaming his matchmaking sessions on Twitch throughout the summer and posting Melee-related updates on his Twitter. He has even released a third installment of Boozer Cute, 12 years after the initial duology was made, showing his implementation of techniques that have since become modern staples, such as ledge-canceling, into Bowser's play.

In Brawl[edit]

Prior to the release of Brawl, 62-bit Hero attended E For All to play the demo of the game; the thread, which can still be found on the forums, remains one of the most replied to and visited threads in the history of SmashBoards. In the thread, 62-bit Hero praised the game for its seemingly wonderful aesthetics and fluid, albeit slower, gameplay compared to Melee, and focused especially on Bowser, who now seemed to be a competent character due to the buffs he received.

Ironically, when the game came out, 62-bit Hero could no longer enjoy playing Bowser competitively as he did in Melee, insisting that Bowser was "unplayable" in Brawl. 62-bit Hero then considered developing Meta Knight for tournaments, but decided to main Sheik after she was significantly weakened in Brawl, thus allowing him once again to compete with a low-tier character. His first and only combo video with Sheik was released on YouTube with the name "The Triforce of Style". Despite making a combo video and attempting to play Sheik for a while, 62-bit Hero stopped playing Brawl soon after as he no longer found it enjoyable, and still widely criticizes the gameplay and changes.

Despite disliking Brawl and most of its mods, 62-bit Hero actively played Project M, where he returned to his old main, Bowser. Due to the significant buffs that Bowser received, 62-bit Hero performed extremely well in Project M locals, placing top 3 consistently during his peak and even being able to defeat top Melee players such as Silent Wolf in tournament. However, he eventually retired from competing once again, with no known showings at larger Project M tournaments.

In Smash 4[edit]

62-bit Hero was an avid player of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U during its height of popularity, where he mained Little Mac. Aside from regularly streaming For Glory mode on his Twitch channel, 62-bit Hero also hosted tournaments in the Washington area, attracting a wide array of players.

Though he dabbled in Bowser, he almost exclusively played Little Mac due to his preference for "punching characters". He did, however, play Bowser Jr. as well, but rarely played him in tournament and only used him when playing online.

In Ultimate[edit]

Compared to other Smash games, 62-bit Hero has made seldom appearances at Ultimate tournaments, appearing only at Don't Park on the Grass 2018 and a handful of locals. He continues to play Bowser and has created content on Ultimate, including various Elite Smash videos and a montage.

Retirement[edit]

A year or two after Brawl's release, 62-bit Hero stated that he had "retired" from Melee and Brawl. Similar to Rickety, however, he continues to have close ties with the competitive scene. At the beginning of 2009, 62-bit Hero made a series of videos entitled "Super Smash Bros. Metagame"; the series showed the respective metagame of each Melee character, compiled from years of gameplay. Even throughout his inactive stage, 62-bit Hero made efforts to go to some Melee tournaments to spend time with other smashers or even serve as a play-by-play commentator and video uploader. 62-bit Hero remained active on SmashBoards for a while, as well holding a moderator position on both the Melee and Brawl sections of the forums, as well as the regional boards; he has been known to use his mod powers for comedic effect, often by editing other people's posts.

During his retirement, 62-bit Hero still made small appearances at various tournaments. Aside from his aforementioned appearance at EVO 2013, he had gone to a handful of Melee and Project M tournaments earlier in the year, and routinely holds and attends smashfests featuring smashers from around the Washington area. He has also begun and promoted a new Smash crew, 62-bit Gaming, which consists of other well-known smashers such as Bladewise. However, he has not gone to any other major national events during this time.

Outside of Smash[edit]

62-bit Hero studied in the California Baptist University in Riverside, California; his announced major was reported to be in Education and Kinesiology. In addition, he is also the CEO and founder of 62-bit Gaming which sponsors professional smashers Bladewise and Vish.

Trivia[edit]

  • 62-bit Hero won over 8 awards for SWF's Forum Awards 2007. Such awards include Forum Monkey, Best Signature, Friendliest Member, Most Helpful, Best Forum Gamer, Most Valuable, Sexiest Mod, and Most Gregarious. He also was the runner-up for several categories as well: Dr. Smash, Smash Practitioner, Best Cinematographer, and Host with the Most. Many of his victories did not make sense (much like maining Bowser), but nevertheless he won (like with Bowser). [1]
