Merrick is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bayonetta player from Michigan. He was formerly ranked 8th on the West Michigan Power Rankings and has notable wins over Onin, BooBear, Scarby, Adorable Knight, and Dux. He is considered the best Bayonetta player in Michigan.

Merrick played Bayonetta upon release in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and has wins over Gomakenpi, Miloni, BooBear, Nebula, Ksev, Adorable Knight, Nen, and exJORDANary. He was ranked 6th on the final West Michigan Power Rankings. Before Bayonetta he solo mained Luigi before retiring the character due to his exploitable recovery, especially as DLC released.

Alongside competing regularly at locals and traveling to majors primarily in the Midwest, he is also prominently known for kickstarting the tournament scene in West Michigan when Brawl, Smash 4, and Smash Ultimate first released. He regularly ran events for Calder Clash, Tempest, Rehearsal, Culmination, and currently is the head tournament organizer and streamer for All Star Colosseum.

Trivia

  • Merrick is one of the oldest members in the West Michigan smash scene, having competed in Brawl since 2009 and helping organizing tournaments ever since then.
  • In 2009 Merrick had won a big Brawl local over a Meta Knight player, with the tourney having over one hundred dollars in pot bonus. There was a big incident where at some point during friendlies after the tournament someone managed to steal his earning from his bag of belongings. It was later found very shortly in the bathroom trash bin at the venue.
