KoRoBeNiKi is a smasher from Northern New Jersey. He is mostly known for being one of the more active original Super Smash Bros. players as well as one of the founding Back Room members. He is also well known for being one of the better keyboard players in 64 and for his contributions to 64 on Reddit and SmashWiki; for terrible puns as well in the 64 community, both on smashboards and offline, and for helping to form both the 2nd and newest tier list as well as the current ruleset for Smash 64. KoRo currently does not play Smash 4 as he has not bought a Wii U, however, he has tried it before and enjoyed some of the changes.
Early Period, 2005-2007
He started off as a Melee player, finding competitive play and joining Smashboards under a former account known as wavedasher in 2005. His first major event was The Smash Affiliates's Smashtality back in 2006. He started off as a Luigi main with Roy as a secondary. At Smashtality 2 in October 2006, he met Sensei and Isai and got 5 stocked by both of them and learned of the more competitive 64 scene. He kept on going with the melee scene but due to TSA's venue being moved to New York after Smashtality III in 2007, he was no longer attending events.
Early Online Play
He discovered online Smash 64 in 2007 along with another fellow smasher, MattNF. Due in part to being a good friend of the latter, who was a member of PPS, he was allowed in the crew by SuPeRbOoMfAn. Prior to this, he was a member of iXi, maining a lackluster Donkey Kong with a generic Captain Falcon secondary originally under the tag METAL DK. He eventually switched to Yoshi after entering and winning a Yoshi ditto tournament hosted by Stoned iXi.
2012-Present
Smash 64
In Smash 64, he uses Yoshi and Captain Falcon as mains, as well as Pikachu occasionally for teams/counterpicks. He is one of the primary keyboard players in online play and can also play well using the rare Hori controller. He plays "claw" using the normal 64 controller, being used to holding it that way for puzzle games. He still prefers using keyboard for Yoshi but is learning to adapt. Due to recent controller problems, he has switched over to Hori entirely.
After Apex 2015, he kick-started a new tier discussion thread which resulted in a voting topic ran by him, Pidgezero one, and several moderators. This eventually resulted in the current tier list seen today.
Melee
KoRo got back into Melee around Apex 2012, but was in a state of rust. He started to attend more events, but until Hectohertz's weeklies in 2014, he was semi-inactive. At NeoNebulous 23, he traded for Lambchops's controller. He mains Luigi in Melee still and welcomes the 20XX movement. He is mainly known for his unusually high rate of misfires and has taken games off of Hax, VanZ, and several other more well known/better players thanks to them. He prefers doubles. His worst matchup is Falco and has developed a Sheik for that matchup as well as for Ganondorf/Marths to an extent.
Brawl and Project M
When he played Brawl he mained Luigi and Mr. Game and Watch. At his highest peak, he was in the top 150 on the AllisBrawl wifi ladder. However, he does not play Brawl very much due to his dislike of the dominance of Meta Knight as well as the King Dedede matchup. He also disliked the speed of the game and gradually gave up playing smash all together. While he argues for the games existence and for how in depth the game is (mostly as a Devil's Advocate,) he dislikes the game immensely. In Project M he mains Luigi and Samus with various secondaries and he also plays online occasionally on Anther's Ladder. He specializes in the Ivysaur matchup.
