Undid edit by Stefiroth: M2K is NOT the undisputed best Cloud player, if he's even the best Cloud at all. Komorikiri and Tweek are far more consistent than him and Leo's Cloud has gone undefeated against M2K in games thus far.

'''Mew2King''', commonly known as '''M2K''', is an American smasher from Cinnaminson, New Jersey, who is currently residing in Florida. He started playing competitively and attending tournaments in 2005 for ''Melee'' and 2008 for ''Brawl'', and has worked up a reputation of being one of the best ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' players in the world due to his great [[chaingrab]]bing, [[camping]], and [[combo]]ing skills, as well as his extremely optimal, technical, and intelligent play style, earning him the nickname '''The Robot'''.

Mew2King was a major threat in ''Melee''{{'}}s tournament scene in the years before ''Brawl''{{'}}s release, consistently placing in the money at nationals. In the first few years of ''Brawl''{{'}}s lifespan, Mew2King dominated the national scene, rarely losing sets in tournaments, and remains one of the best players in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' to date. During late 2013, after years of not winning a major ''Melee'' tournament, Mew2King went on a winning streak which saw him win [[The Big House 3]] as well as almost every other singles event he entered, taking sets off of players who he had seldom defeated in that recent time, including {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|PPMD}}. This is commonly referred to as "The Return of the King". In ''Smash 4'', at [[Get On My Level 2016]], Mew2King became the fifth player to take a set off of ZeRo in Smash 4 (after {{Sm|Mr. ConCon}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Seagull Joe}}, and {{Sm|Nairo}}), and the first player to defeat ZeRo in a best of 5 set without losing a single game. <!--Sky's Smash 4 Invitational is not included due to both being a launch tournament and taking place before ZeRo's streak.--> Mew2King played Cloud for the whole set, while ZeRo played Diddy Kong game 1, and switched to Sheik for games 2 and 3. He also managed to defeat both Ally and ZeRo at [[Endgame]], but ultimately lost to ZeRo in two sets of Grand Finals, including a JV-3 stock in the final game. He also placed 5th at [[Shine 2016]], defeating {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 3-0.
