Nairo is an American professional smasher who mains Meta Knight and is the younger brother of Ksizzle. He is known for being among the youngest, yet one of the most successful smashers to compete in tournaments, as well as being one of the top Meta Knights in the world. Nairo is also known for his highly aggressive Meta Knight style, which is at least partly responsible for his great proficiency against Olimar players. He frequently teams with ADHD in doubles, where Nairo uses his aggressive style to overwhelm opponents while ADHD creates stage control with Diddy Kong's banana peels. The team is considered to be the most powerful doubles force in Brawl, having won Apex 2013, SKTAR 2, Apex 2014, and SKTAR 3.
Nairo gained national recognition at Apex 2012, defeating top players such as Nietono, before losing to Otori in Winners' Finals and Nietono in Losers' Finals, placing 3rd out of 400 entrants. Nairo won his first national tournament later that year at SKTAR, defeating ESAM in Winners' Finals 3-1 and Grand Finals 3-0. At Apex 2013, Nairo was knocked out of Winners' early by DEHF, but climbed up through his Losers' bracket, knocking out RAIN, ZeRo, Mr. R, and Anti in the process. Nairo eventually faced Otori in Losers' Semis in a long-awaited rematch, but lost the set 2-3, placing 4th out of 338 entrants. Nairo saw another major victory at Apex 2014, where he defeated ESAM in a rematch from SKTAR, and other top players, such as Mew2King and ZeRo, two of the best Meta Knights in the world.
Nairo is currently ranked 4th on both the Tristate Brawl and Smash 4 Power Rankings and also ranks 1st on the 2014 SSBBRank tied with 9B.

Trivia
- Interestingly enough, despite his older brother Ksizzle having been known to be one of Ally's hardest opponents to play in tournament during his prime, Nairo has yet to take a set from Ally in tournament despite having surpassed his brother since then.
