==History== | |||
Omega Tyrant entered the competitive scene rather late, only entering his first tournament in November 2011. Around this time, he was making plans to attend [[Apex 2012]], where he found the [[AllisBrawl]] tournament page for [[BEST#5th BEST|5th BEST]], and seen that it was being held in a neighboring city. After he posted on the tournament page expressing his interest in attending, he was contacted by the [[tournament director]] {{Sm|Calm}}, who would introduce him to the nearby competitive scene in upstate New York. Shortly afterward, he was able to join the Albany/Troy carpool to [[ASX#ASX3|ASX3]] to enter his first tournament. He was able to do rather well in his first tournament, defeating Canadian smasher {{Sm|Phiddlesticks}} and {{SSBB|Yoshi}} player {{Sm|Sharky}}, before being decimated by {{Sm|San}}, and being eliminated by {{Sm|Metal Pat}} in losers, obtaining an overall 9th placing out of 32 participants. After ASX3, he attended 5th BEST, where in only his second tournament, he was able to place in the money, claiming 4th out 21 players, defeating Calm and {{SSBB|Falco}} player {{Sm|CAC}}, while losing to {{Sm|Fatal}} in winners and being eliminated by {{SSBB|Marth}} player {{Sm|Vibe}} in loser semi-finals. Omega Tyrant would then attend Apex 2012 with San, Sharky, {{Sm|Pika Pika!}}, and {{Sm|KID Goggles}}. He failed to accomplish much at Apex, being eliminated in first round pools having placed fourth, losing to {{Sm|Zex}}, {{Sm|Hylian}}, and Z0MFG, but avoided a last placing by defeating Colorado smasher {{Sm|deathbysuarez}}. | |||
Since Apex 2012, Omega Tyrant began his strong presence in upstate New York, placing in the money or just outside it in every tournament in the region since Apex, and having defeated every active and notable upstate player in a tournament set outside San, Pika Pika!, and {{Sm|Cura}}. Within just six months of his tournament debut, he managed to get ranked on his region's [[power ranking]]. | |||
Since June 2012, he has also started attending tournaments in [[NY/NJ]] and occasionally in [[New England]] with fellow Schenectady smasher {{Sm|No Skillz}}. While he usually doesn't perform poorly in them, he has not been able to place beyond a mid placing in the much stronger competition. | |||

Omega Tyrant is a semi-professional upstate New York smasher who has contributed extensively to Smash knowledge and actively participates in tournaments. On SmashWiki, he is an administrator and has added a large amount of information, such as finding the information for the forward smash chart, down smash chart, and up smash chart, testing the full ingame mechanics of priority, and the momentum canceling abilities of every character. He's currently in the process of testing the knockback values of every attack of each character, to objectively measure the power of each character's moveset.
In tournament play, he comains the unusual combination of Wolf and King Dedede, though only plays Dedede in doubles play. finding his Dedede style much more transitional to doubles play. He loves to fully utilise Wolf's outstanding mobility, focusing on constant moving and frequent spaced back aerials and forward aerials, while trying to open up DACUS opportunities and potential down throw chains and tech chases. With Dedede, he utilises a more methodical style reliant on pressuring the opponent, making heavy use of out of shield punishes as well as spaced bairs and full hopped dairs when in close, while attempting to bait an opportunity to land a grab or up tilt when the opponent is at KO percent. Omega Tyrant's tech skill is not great, and he is heavily prone to input mistakes. As such, he relies on outsmarting the opponent and utilising superior use of his character's moveset to win.
Omega Tyrant used to main Snake in addition to his comains. But after repeated failures in important tournament matches and performing at an apparent lower level than his Wolf and Dedede, he dropped Snake to focus more on the characters that brought him his tournament success. Omega Tyrant also plays a particularly competent Ganondorf, that he often plays in friendlies, and employs in low tier tournaments and matches.
As a person, he's notoriously quiet, rarely speaking at tournaments beyond necessary interaction. He's has a nonchalant attitude, showing little emotion when playing, and taking losses in stride.
Omega Tyrant is currently ranked 5th in the New York Power Rankings for Brawl. While he's one of the strongest players in upstate New York, he has yet to obtain any significant placings in tournaments outside his region.
History
Omega Tyrant entered the competitive scene rather late, only entering his first tournament in November 2011. Around this time, he was making plans to attend Apex 2012, where he found the AllisBrawl tournament page for 5th BEST, and seen that it was being held in a neighboring city. After he posted on the tournament page expressing his interest in attending, he was contacted by the tournament director Calm, who would introduce him to the nearby competitive scene in upstate New York. Shortly afterward, he was able to join the Albany/Troy carpool to ASX3 to enter his first tournament. He was able to do rather well in his first tournament, defeating Canadian smasher Phiddlesticks and Yoshi player Sharky, before being decimated by San, and being eliminated by Metal Pat in losers, obtaining an overall 9th placing out of 32 participants. After ASX3, he attended 5th BEST, where in only his second tournament, he was able to place in the money, claiming 4th out 21 players, defeating Calm and Falco player CAC, while losing to Fatal in winners and being eliminated by Marth player Vibe in loser semi-finals. Omega Tyrant would then attend Apex 2012 with San, Sharky, Pika Pika!, and KID Goggles. He failed to accomplish much at Apex, being eliminated in first round pools having placed fourth, losing to Zex, Hylian, and Z0MFG, but avoided a last placing by defeating Colorado smasher deathbysuarez.
Since Apex 2012, Omega Tyrant began his strong presence in upstate New York, placing in the money or just outside it in every tournament in the region since Apex, and having defeated every active and notable upstate player in a tournament set outside San, Pika Pika!, and Cura. Within just six months of his tournament debut, he managed to get ranked on his region's power ranking.
Since June 2012, he has also started attending tournaments in NY/NJ and occasionally in New England with fellow Schenectady smasher No Skillz. While he usually doesn't perform poorly in them, he has not been able to place beyond a mid placing in the much stronger competition.
