'''Vitality''' started playing ''Super Smash Bros.'' when he was only 7 years old. However, he had lost his copy of the game, preventing him from practicing for a long time. He hadn't played competitively for 8 years, only playing for fun. Vitality enrolled at MAC, which is where his career started up again. MAC had a history of Smashers with several TVs dedicated to playing matches. Most of the people who enrolled during that time are also in the social group known as YouThree. {{Sm|Fosh}} started the Smash community of MAC at the beginning of the year with a ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' tournament. Vitality attended and he was amazed by the fast pace that Fosh and {{Sm|Alphicans}} were able to play at and decided to learn. {{Sm|Frio}}, also a Smasher, did not have the same knowledge that Fosh and Alphicans had but he was still good regardless. Fosh played ''Melee'' every lunch hour, where it became a common scene with several people watching. Fosh later in the year was unable to organize his lunch games, so Frio took over. Vitality, being in the midst of things, started out playing with {{SSBM|Roy}}. He did not have any knowledge of advanced techniques and his progress was slow.

Vitality signed up on SmashBoards and learned the numerous techniques in ''Melee'', including [[Wavedashing]] and [[SHFFL]]ing, also watching the tricks that {{Sm|Neo}} had on YouTube.

He hadn't played competitively for 8 years, only playing for fun. Vitality enrolled at MAC, which is where his career started up again. MAC had a history of Smashers with several TVs dedicated to playing matches. Most of the people who enrolled during that time are also in the social group known as YouThree. Fosh started the Smash community of MAC at the beginning of the year with a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament. Vitality attended and he was amazed by the fast pace that Fosh and Alphicans were able to play at and decided to learn. Frio, also a Smasher, did not have the same knowledge that Fosh and Alphicans had but he was still good regardless. Fosh played Melee every lunch hour, where it became a common scene with several people watching. Fosh later in the year was unable to organize his lunch games, so Frio took over. Vitality, being in the midst of things, started out playing with Roy. He did not have any knowledge of advanced techniques and his progress was slow. Alphicans came to play one day and told Vitality about SmashBoards. Vitality signed up on SmashBoards and learned the numerous techniques in Melee, including Wavedashing and SHFFLing, also watching the tricks that Neo had on YouTube. L-Canceling was his first technique that he was able to apply in his matches. After many weeks playing with Roy, Alphicans suggested Vitality to change his main to Marth. Vitality picked up Marth and quickly became better in Melee. His first tournament that he attended was the Edmonton Tournament on Feb 16-17. He learned many things that day, learning tips and combos from matches, as well as getting a bit of training from FalseFalco.
YouThree was the 2nd tournament he attended, then able to beat some opponents. However, he still had a lot to learn. Fosh was nowhere to be seen and, being Alphican's partner, he teamed with Vitality for Melee doubles, and they've been a team ever since. Vitality became exceptionally better throughout the year in Melee. Vitality plays some Brawl too, but he prefers Melee out of the two.
