Poilon is a smasher from Paris, France who is famous in France for playing every character in the game at at high level.

History

Poilon started playing smash when it was released, but only began playing at an advanced level in 2003. He had high scores in 1-Player mode : over 91,900 feets in HRC, under 3'18" in Target Test. He Event mode scores are good as well, especially for the Event 51, which he beat with every characters. For two years, he played a lot in 1-Player mode, then started playing Versus mode more than he did, for he was only a decent player, even though he was already able to play with every character. His level increased dramatically in late 2005, as he came in Paris to enter a Computer Science School : he was able to play against Joanna Dark quite often, and became one of the best French Falco players, beating Joanna Dark during FFT2 to claim fourth place, two monthes after he began training with Joanna Dark. He remained in the top 5 French smashers since this day, but often changed his main. After Falco, he became the best Captain Falcon player in France. Then he mained Fox and trained with the Ice Climbers, getting better than any other French player with both of these characters. Recently, he said he wanted to improve his Sheik. His main weakness might be a lack of experience against very good non-french europeans players.

Poilon has also organized in April 2007 the Epita Smash Arena, one of the biggest tournament ever in Europe. Despite the high number of players attending to the tournament, the organization was considered as almost perfect and many players, such as Nihonjin or Joanna Dark acknowledged that it was the first tournament in Europe which could "rivals with amrican ones".
