Janitor (born December 23, 1991) is a Canadian Smasher and a Tournament Director from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and is one of the members of Teh Fair. Janitor is largely responsible for organizing the competitive SSBM community in Red Deer, Alberta as well as the infamously unorganized Central Alberta Smash Tournament (CAST).
Background
Janitor and his fellow crew mate K Lover were dedicated Super Smash Bros. 64 players in their earlier days, but it wasn't until Super Smash Bros. Melee's release on the Gamecube that the two literally became infatuated with the game.
Janitor, though playing SSBM for 2 years after the purchase, was unaware about the game's competitive scene until late 2005 after reading a large article about the game in issue 195 of Nintendo Power, "Smash Planet". The article included such topics as SWF, Ken Hoang, MLG, rumors about a new installment of SSB, as well as a brief description of wavedashing. Even then, Janitor only began to playing SSBM more competitively, signing up on the SWF, and discovering the competitive nature of the game. After the his discovery, he began to teach what he learned to his now crew mates.
A year after discovering the competitive scene, Janitor and K Lover (Capt.1337 at the time) decided to host a Smash tournament in their city Red Deer in order to find more competition in Red Deer - because at the time, the only people in Red Deer playing Smash competitively were themselves. After advertising the tournament in the SWF and Nexopia (an Alberta equivalent of Myspace) they recieved tons of replies. They failed to meet very many competitive players in their city, but to their surprise, people from outside the city came to participate. (FalseFalco, FastFox, RJM etc.) Though, extremely confident in the beginning, as many rookies are, Janitor, as well as K Lover, soon realized that the game was more competitive then they thought and the two pushed each other even harder to match up with the Edmonton and Calgary players even to this day.
During the Summer of 2007, Janitor traveled to Seattle, Washington for family reasons. Taking advantage of his stay, Janitor attended various tournaments such as Seattle Smash events and the infamous Game Clucks, playing against several well known players such as NoobKing, Silent Wolf and his then doubles player, ThePrime. However, for family reasons, this trip caused Janitor to miss out on his own tournament, CAST3, giving the director seat to BackItch.
