Shears is a Smash 64 Pikachu main from MD/VA who helps host the 64 tournaments at Smash @ Xanadu along with Nintendude. He also places in the top 3 there routinely. Online, like many of the other 64 players, Shears has been frequently banned from Smashboards due to trolling, much to the dismay of the rest of the 64 community. He is also notorious for losing blindfolded money matches against Sedda.
