pidgezero_one is most famously known for her efforts on [[Smash World Forums|Smashboards]] in raising awareness of ''Wiimmfi'' (unofficial ''Brawl'' Wi-Fi servers) in anticipation of the shutdown of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Under the direction of Diddy Kong of ''Kitty Corp: Meow Mix'', she wrote [http://smashboards.com/threads/355374/ a guide] detailing how to save friend code information to dedicated Wii servers post-shutdown. Once the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was disabled, she changed the guide into a walkthrough for setting up ''Brawl'' with the online servers through a variety of methods. She also worked with [[Project M#Developers|SOJ]] in establishing an optimized [http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/wiki/brawlnetplay netplay code] for ''Brawl'' for use with [[Dolphin]].
