'''Atomsk''' (pronounced atom-isk<ref> {{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Atomsk92/status/1424906002609152008|title=Atomsk pronunciation}}</ref>) is an ''[[SSBU]]'' {{SSBU|King Dedede}} main from New Jersey. He was formerly ranked 5th on the [[New Jersey Smash Ultimate Power Rankings]] and 39th on the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v6]]. Within ''Ultimate'', he has taken sets off of high-caliber players such as {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|ApolloKage}}, {{Sm|Syrup}}, {{Sm|Quidd}}, {{Sm|Sinji}} and {{Sm|Gen}}.

In ''[[Brawl]]'', he mostly played {{SSBB|King Dedede}} and was perpetually considered to be one of the best King Dedede mains in the world throughout its entire competitive life; at his prime, he was considered to be the absolute best. However, he was also known for playing a large variety of other characters at a high competitive level, including {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Wario}}, and the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}. He notably placed 5th in ''Brawl'' at {{Trn|Apex 2009}}. He has taken sets off of top professional players such as {{Sm|Ally}}, {{Sm|ADHD}}, {{Sm|UltimateRazer}}, {{Sm|MJG}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Trela}}, {{Sm|Fatal}}, and {{Sm|ANTi}}. He was ranked 10th on the [[Tristate Brawl Power Rankings]] and 13th on the [[2016-2017 SSBBRank]].

Unlike many other renowned ''Brawl'' players, Atomsk did not fully move on to ''[[Smash 4]]'' after the demise of ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive scene, with his ''Smash 4'' tournament activity being scarce and his ability in it being at a significantly lower level, though he was strong enough to initially be ranked 7th on the [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]]. Instead, Atomsk focused on ''[[Melee]]'', which includes examples such as travelling to {{Trn|GENESIS 4}} to enter only in ''Melee''. Here, he mains {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, and has taken sets off players such as {{Sm|Peanutphobia}}, {{Sm|MacD}}, and {{Sm|Junebug}}. He was ranked as high as 4th on the New Jersey Power Rankings before his inactivity.
