Light is a professional Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fox main from Connecticut, considered the best Fox player in the world and the current best player in the United States. He is currently ranked 1st on both the Connecticut Ultimate Power Rankings and New England Ultimate Power Rankings as well as 3rd on the OrionRank Mid-Year 2022 and 4th on the PGRU v3 NA.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Light was also a Fox player, and is also considered one of the best Fox players in the world along with Larry Lurr. He has taken sets from Tweek, Dabuz, Nairo, Cosmos, Mr.R, VoiD, komorikiri, and Larry Lurr. Light is currently ranked 1st on the Connecticut Smash 4 Power Rankings, 2nd on the NER 2017-2018, and 43rd on the Panda Global Rankings 100.
Light is also considered one of the best, if not the best doubles player in the world. He usually teams with Marss and the pair is considered the best Ultimate doubles team in the world, and have taken 1st place at majors such as Pound 2019, Low Tier City 7, Super Smash Con 2019, GENESIS 7, and Frostbite 2020.
On February 8th, 2018, Light was signed by Most Valuable Gaming.[1] Months later, on September 26th, 2018, MVG released Light from his contract for unknown reasons.[2] On February 21st, 2019, Light was signed by Rogue.[3] Light left Rogue on March 31st, 2020. [4] He was signed by Moist Esports on September 15th, 2021, an eSports team created by Cr1TiKaL.[5]
Playstyle
Light is known for his aggressive and quick playstyle. His knowledge and ability to tech chase and call out his opponent's options are effective in Fox's neutral. He also pays attention to his opponent’s defensive options and when he guesses right, he would pull off some of Fox's high damaging combo moves and strings in order to get his opponent to the specific kill confirm of neutral air into up smash if he reads a missed tech or vice versa. If the opponent is past that KO confirm percent range, he looks for other opportunities to frame trap them by keeping them in the corner, walling them out with back air, or go for jump reads with up air or the former. Unlike other Fox players, if Light knows he can edgeguard bad recoveries, he would run off Nair or shine spike them for early gimps. Light is also known to mix up Fox's recovery well, despite Fox having an easily exploitable linear recovery. For example, he uses Fox's reflector to stall his momentum in the air and uses Fire Fox in unique angles so he can potentially get trades with his opponent trying to edgeguard him.

2019: Strong but inconsistent beginnings
By the end of Smash 4, Light had established himself as the best Fox player in the world, and he hoped to keep that title in Ultimate. Not only did he establish that within the first few months, but he was also arguably one of the best players in the world during that time, placing 3rd place at Glitch 6 with an MkLeo win, having a strong start to the first PGRU season by placing top 8 at GENESIS 6, Frostbite 2019, and Collision 2019, as well as qualifying for Smash Ultimate Summit by winning Ultimate Nimbus. His best run of the season, however, was at 2GG: Prime Saga, where he defeated Glutonny, MkLeo, Ally, and Nairo en route to a 3rd place finish.
Unfortunately, this hot streak was cut short by a series of underperformances at the following few majors in the season. He missed top 8 at a major for the first time at Pound 2019, where he lost to Daybreak 2-1 and was reverse 3-0'd by Dark Wizzy to finish in 17th place. He would also finish outside of top 8 at MomoCon 2019, Smash 'N' Splash 5, and CEO 2019. Despite having a strong start of the season, his weaker performances in the second half of the season hurt his overall standing, and he was ranked 10th on the first PGRU season.
His second PGRU season was as inconsistent as the first. Light's peaks were very high; he finished 7th place at EVO 2019 and Super Smash Con 2019, the season's two biggest tournaments, as well as top 6 placements at most other majors he had attended, including Mainstage and 2GG: Kongo Saga. His best run of the season came at Glitch 7 - Minus World, where he defeated Dabuz twice and Samsora en route to a 2nd place finish, marking the his highest major placement yet.
However, with these highs came some lows. His first disappointment was at Low Tier City 7, where he lost to Meme and BestNess to place 17th. His second disappointment was also his worst performance to date: at Shine 2019, he fell to Juice and Suarez to ultimately place 25th. His final disappointment was at The Big House 9, where he lost to RFang and Tweek to place 13th. At all three tournaments, he saw at least one loss to players who were ultimately not ranked in the top 50 that season or failed to attain a win against a player of similar caliber. These mediocre results once again affected his overall standing by the end of the season: despite seeing some of his strongest results yet, he was ultimately ranked 10th yet again for that season.
2020-mid 2021: Continued Fluctuation and Absence in the Online Metagame
Coming from a defining 2019, Light started the new year and the third PGRU season with high hopes, as expectations for how he would perform were high. Unfortunately, it seemed like nothing was going to change, as he once again saw a rather mixed season for a top 10 player. He started the season off with two lukewarm performances at Let's Make Big Moves and Glitch 8 - Missingno. In the former, despite seeing a decent run, he failed to place top 8, instead falling to Tea and Marss for 9th. In the latter, he saw his worst placement that season after being upset by Dill and Mr. E; this run, however, was compensated with a win over Maister, marking the first time he had defeated his bracket demon after Maister had 3-0'd him in their last two encounters. His performance at Frostbite 2020 was on a similar caliber: despite defeating Shuton, he fell to Nairo and rising star Toast to once again place 9th.
His mediocre major runs, however, were balanced out by a solid run at GENESIS 7, the second-largest tournament of the season. Despite being upset by Elegant in his first round of Winners Top 64, he managed to knock out Salem, Cosmos, and Tweek in his Loser's run, ultimately placing 7th after falling to Dark Wizzy. Furthermore, he was still able to claim the runner-up position in his region with his 2nd place finish at Overclocked Ultimate IV and winning a set against Marss, his only victory over New England's best player that season. These results showed that, although his status of a being top 10 player was questionable at the time, Light nonetheless proved that he could still keep up with the cream of the crop. Unfortunately, he was unable to prove his top 10 status as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down offline competitive play for over a year. Due to Fox being a weaker character online and Light's distaste for Ultimate's online mode, Light took a break from the game, only entering a couple of online tournaments in 2021 in preparation for and to participate in the SWT: NA Northeast Ultimate Online Qualifier, where he placed 33rd.
2021: Reaching New Peaks
Despite a lack of results during the online metagame, people were adamant that Light would reach his peak form again when offline returned. However when offline did return, it was clear that a lack of practice had hurt him. At the 16-person invitational Momentous, Light placed 7th despite being seeded 3rd, losing to two other players who played Star Fox characters: rising star Tilde and familiar foe Jakal. He then saw his worst performance post-pandemic at at the Smash Ultimate Summit 3 qualifier Mega Smash Mondays 240, where despite coming in as the first seed, he lost to Ketchup and Scend to finish at 17th, a far cry from the performances he had pre-pandemic.
Despite these setbacks, players still had confidence that Light could return to the spotlight; a viral Tweet made by smith, effectively summarized Light's position in the metagame at that moment: many players believed that he was still good, but his mentality was holding him back. Light gave some of that hope back at Glitch 8.5 - Konami Code, where despite losing two close game 5 sets to ESAM and Maister, both of whom played characters considered some of Fox's worst matchups, he ended up placing 5th, his first top 8 at a major since GENESIS 7. He then pulled the best run of his career up to that point: although he was on the Loser's side because of his loss against Jakal, Light embarked one one of the most grueling top 8 runs in the game's history, winning game 5 sets against Marss, Kola, MVD, and Maister to make it to Grand Finals. There, he defeated Sparg0 3-0 in the first set of Grands and win yet another game 5 set to take his first major win. His victory at Super Smash Con: Fall Fest prove that despite losing faith in his main and having to play catchup, he was able to adapt to a new metagame and defeat rising stars and familiar foes along the way. Despite a decent run at Mainstage and not participating in the Smash World Tour 2021 Championships, Light solidified himself as a top 10 player in the United States with his S-tier placement - or top 7 - on the PGRUContenders North America, and as a top 20 player in the world, being ranked 15th on the OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse.
2022: Becoming the Best in the United States
Light came out of 2021 with his best season yet, however he was yet to prepared for what was to come. Initially, it seemed like Light was returning to his pre-pandemic self, with his empty run to 13th at Glitch - Infinite after losing to Jake and Vendetta. However, Glitch - Infinite eventually prove to be an anomaly, as for the rest of the season, Light placed top 6 at every single tournament he attended, both regionally and nationally. The tournament to kick of this hot streak was Smash Ultimate Summit 4: despite having underperformed at all prior Summits he had attended, his first match of the tournament saw him defeat MkLeo and his Byleth 3-0. He was ultimately sent into the Gauntlet Stage due to Glutonny's reverse 3-0, but he easily defeated both opponents to make it to the Winner's side of the Final Bracket. He then defeated his bracket demons Maister and both the US and Japan's then-best players - Tweek and ProtoBanham, but was stopped short by Sparg0, who defeated Light in both Winner's Finals and Grand Finals, leaving Light at 2nd.
The rest of his season was on a rather similar caliber, defeating several top players while only losing to players at or around the top 10. His season culminated in his run at MomoCon 2022, where he won his first supermajor while only dropping 2 games. His placements during this hot streak, coupled with having several top player wins and Tweek's declining results, led many players to believe that Light was the best player in the United States, and the rankings supported that: PGRU v3 NA ranked him 4th, the highest-ranked United States player, while OrionRank Mid-Year 2022 had him ranked 3rd, behind MkLeo and Sparg0.
At The Gimvitational, he lost against Marss and Asimo in the Round Robin phase and then Cosmos in Clinical Trials to end up in the Loser's side of the final bracket. However, he managed to make yet another grueling Loser's run by winning his runback against Marss and Cosmos as well as defeating players such as Riddles and Kola to make it to Grand Finals. This unstoppable train, however, was stopped in Grand Finals, where despite being adamant that he could win the tournament and on his experience against Steve, he lost to acola to place 2nd. He saw a similar experience at Super Smash Con 2022, a tournament he also believed he would win as he was confident he had what it took to defeat Onin, who was tearing through the competition and seemed unstoppable. Unfortunately, he was unable to prove whether he could, as Maister preceded to defeat him twice, leaving Light at 3rd.

Trivia
- Light has the iconic habit to roll up his sleeves during sets, especially when he is in difficult situations and very close sets.
- Light is a fan of Toradora! and particularly Taiga Aisaka, the female protagonist of the show. Until recently, he often used "Palm Tiger" as his in-game tag, which is a derivation of Taiga's surname in the series ("Palmtop Tiger").
- Light has been the subject of a few memes and running gags in the Smash community:
- During a part of Smash 4 and Ultimate's competitive lifespan, Light's ability to clutch off sets and being victorious in very unfavorable situations has led the community saying Light has a plot armor and is therefore the protagonist of the competitive scene.[6]
- Many players have called Light a "rap god" because his name, Paris Ramirez, fit perfectly into a rap beat.
- A quote of Light stating that Wi-Fi is a sham[7] spawned several video edits, particularly those with Fox's victory screen.[8]
- Light is known for frequently taunting whenever he takes a stock.
- Light is one of several players to 3-0 MkLeo, alongside Tweek, Glutonny, Marss, Kurama and Onin.
