Tweek is an SSBU Wario and Diddy Kong player from Burlington, New Jersey. He is considered to be the best Pokémon Trainer and Diddy Kong player in the world, along with Dakpo as well as one of the two best Wario players along with Glutonny. He has also shown proficiency with a variety of other characters, including Diddy Kong, Joker, Roy, Ridley, Banjo & Kazooie, Young Link, Chrom, and Donkey Kong. Tweek is currently ranked 3rd on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5, 1st on the New Jersey Ultimate Power Rankings, 3rd on the Fall 2019 PGRU, and was formerly ranked 0th on the Ohio Smash Ultimate Power Rankings.
In SSB4, he was considered to be the best Bayonetta player in the world at the end of Smash 4's lifespan, and one of the two best of all time, along with Salem, the best Donkey Kong player in the world, and one of the best Cloud players in the world (alongside MkLeo). Originally a Bowser Jr. player, he was, and still is, considered the best Bowser Jr. player in the world prior to dropping the character, and was a pioneer of Bowser Jr.'s metagame. Since then, no other Bowser Jr. player has matched his accomplishments, and many players still consider Tweek the strongest Bowser Jr. player to date. Tweek was formerly ranked 1st on the Ohio Smash 4 Power Rankings, 7th on the Panda Global Rankings 100, and was formerly ranked 4th on the New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings.
In Melee, he was a Luigi main. He saw moderate success in region, placing top 8 at multiple KTAR events and securing wins over players such as C!Z, NJzFinest, and Copycat. He was formerly ranked 12th on the New Jersey Melee Power Rankings.
On February 10th, 2017, Tweek was signed by Phoenix1, as their first Smash player.[1] On May 17th, 2018, Tweek announced he would no longer be working with Phoenix1, thanking them for their love and support. Later on January 24th, 2019, Tweek was signed by Team SoloMid.[2]
Playstyle
Tweek has a very methodical, punish-heavy style of playing with all his characters. This style has very clear strengths, like being able to kill very early when Tweek reads a panic option; however, it is also susceptible to strong defense in the neutral. Because Tweek often uses his character's high-risk-high-reward combo starters in neutral, he can frustrate himself when he does not get an early advantage. His switch to Bayonetta in Smash 4 saw an increase in consistency to his results as Bayonetta's Witch Twist is a strong, safe combo starter. His Cloud was infamous for refusing to use Limit on the first stock to preserve the movement and recovery buff and also potentially land an early kill on his opponent's second stock.

Trivia
- In Smash 4, Tweek dropped Bowser Jr., because he believed that the character was not conducive to his development as a player.[3]
- Tweek (along with Zackray and MkLeo prior to picking Joker) is notable for constantly switching mains, which has brought light teasing from the community.
- In Smash 4, he switched from Bowser Jr. to Cloud to Bayonetta. He also had a strong Donkey Kong secondary.
- In Ultimate, he switched from Chrom to Wario, Wolf, and Young Link, then to Pokémon Trainer, then to Joker, and finally back to Wario, Pokémon Trainer and Wolf. He also played Ridley and Banjo & Kazooie for one tournament each and has brought out pocket Roy, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and King K. Rool in majors.
- Tweek has a winning streak at even numbered Glitch events, winning Glitch 4, Glitch 6, and Glitch 8.
- He flips his hair with his hands during sets, which Tweek has stated is a nervous tic.
- He is a very big fan of the Donkey Kong Country series, even naming his cat "Tiny Kong" after a character from Donkey Kong 64.
