Wife a commentator and Peach player of Team Ben, the formerly a premier crew in Maryland. He has been competing steadily since January 2004, enjoying the most success with his team, The Newlyweds. At his peak he was a top 10-20 player and by the end of the golden age he largely retired from playing. In recent years he has been more prolific with his commentary than his playing, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest Smash commentators.
Personal Life
A native of Ellicott City, Maryland. He graduated from Centennial High School in 2003, and earned a degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Maryland, College Park in the spring of 2007.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Before picking up Peach, Wife originally played Ganondorf. His first tournament was Live Or Die in the Fall of 2003, where he met H2YL. Instantly in love with the competitive atmosphere, Wife set out to become a top player. He debuted his Peach at Game Over in January of 2004, where he entered teams but not singles. Soon after, Wife began traveling around the country to every tournament he could, taking many losses along the way. Eventually Wife started making money rather than losing it, pulling in over a thousand dollars in 2005.
By 2006 Wife had earned himself a spot as one of the best Peaches in the country, and he began competing heavily at Major League Gaming tournaments. He was invited to the playoffs, where he placed 10th overall.
Wife is quite famous for being a "Marth-slayer". He boasts that no Marth, under any circumstance, will ever pose a threat to him. Despite Marth naturally countering Peach, he has an absurd amount of practice against Husband's Marth, and an extensive knowledge of the match-up. Of the few Marth players to win a set against Wife, Ken is the most prominent.
Wife employs a blend of the great Peaches before him, Mike G and KrazyJones, and has a generally solid style of play.
Although no longer competing, Wife still remains as an active member of the Smash scene providing his signature commentary for large tournaments such as GENESIS, Pound 4, Pound V, and MLG Anaheim 2014 (and more). Wife was also a prominent figure in The Smash Brothers, appearing in an interview in every episode.
