Nairo is an American professional smasher who mains Meta Knight in Brawl and Zero Suit Samus in Smash 4, 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 Brawl Meta Knights and the best Smash 4 Zero Suit Samus 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 teamed with ADHD in doubles, where Nairo used his aggressive style to overwhelm opponents while ADHD created stage control with Diddy Kong's banana peels. The team was 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. He 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 Larry Lurr, but climbed up through his Losers' bracket, knocking out Havok, 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 considered to be one of the best Smash 4 players in the world. At EVO 2015, he placed 3rd in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U singles. He defeated Mr. R 2-0 in winners semis, but then lost to ZeRo 0-3 in winners finals, after almost winning the first 2 games, but missing the KO in both games after hitting with Zero Suit Samus's paralyzer. He then lost in his rematch with Mr. R 2-3 in losers finals. He also uses Dark Pit, Pit, Robin, Lucina, and Zelda at a very high level as well.
Nairo is currently ranked 1st and 4th on the New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings and Tristate Brawl Power Rankings, respectively, and also ranks 1st on the 2014 SSBBRank tied with 9B.
On August 11, 2015, Nairo was signed on by Team Liquid.

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 failed to take a set from Ally in Brawl singles for four years despite having surpassed his brother since then. However, at Apex 2015, Nairo managed to beat Ally in tournament for the first time in winners' semis.
- For a long period of time, Nairo held a perfect record against ESAM in Brawl. However, at Super Smash Con, ESAM finally defeated Nairo for the first time and went on to Grand Finals only to lose to Mew2King.
