WaDi, formerly WaDiRob, is an Ultimate R.O.B. and Mewtwo co-main from Virginia. WaDi began Ultimate as primarily a R.O.B. player and was considered the best R.O.B. player during the early metagame, using the character to defeat players such as Samsora, Light, Dabuz, Cosmos, and Riddles. During and following the pandemic period, WaDi slowly used Mewtwo at more tournaments, also defeating players such as Sparg0, MVD, and Lima. Due to achievements with both characters, WaDi is considered the best Mewtwo player in the world and one of the best R.O.B. players in the world. He is currently ranked 33rd on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7, B Tier on PGRUContenders North America, 25th on OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse North America, and 36th on OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse; he was also formerly ranked 1st on the MD/VA Ultimate Power Rankings.

In Smash 4, WaDi is a Mewtwo main with a R.O.B. secondary, and is considered one of the best Mewtwo players throughout Smash 4's active competitive lifespan, along with Abadango and SDX. WaDi is currently ranked 1st on the MD/VA Smash 4 Power Rankings and 26th on Panda Global Rankings 100. He has taken sets off of top players such as ZeRo, Nairo, Dabuz, Ally, Tweek, KEN, VoiD, and komorikiri.

Throughout his career, WaDi joined and left a couple of esports organizations, and had plans on joining Team ZeRo for Pound 2020 prior to the tournament's cancellation.[1] WaDi is currently sponsored by Panda, joining the team on April 2nd, 2021.[2]

Playstyle

WaDi is known for his passive-aggressive playstyle with amazing adaptation and solid fundamentals. With R.O.B., he plays neutral through zoning and conversions to build damage, sometimes using weaker parts of R.O.B.'s kit (such as forward throw) to keep his opponent in disadvantage. He is known for his accurate usage of Gyro and Robo Beam to keep opponents offstage or to even net a stock.

With Mewtwo, he plays a very aggressive playstyle, but is able to convert into a defensive playstyle as well. Just like R.O.B., he goes for conversions in neutral to build damage by keeping his opponent in disadvantage. He utilizes Shadow Ball as a way to cover options and to setup unique kill options. WaDi is also known for using Mewtwo as more of a "data collector"; he uses Mewtwo to learn and adapt to his opponent's habits. At the end of the set, WaDi will usually switch to R.O.B. to close, but occasionally will continue to use Mewtwo.

WaDi is known for his counterpicking, switching between R.O.B., Mewtwo, and Ice Climbers (sometimes even after winning a game) to make it difficult for his opponent to adapt.

Trivia

  • He is the younger brother of JeBB, an MD/VA Palutena player who was formerly ranked 19th on the MD/VA Ultimate Power Rankings.
  • In 2017, WaDi set the record for the most Smash 4 tournaments won at Xanadu, surpassing the record of 27 victories that was previously held by Boss.
  • WaDi's former gamer tag WaDiRob comes from his former mains Wario and R.O.B. in Brawl, and how he thinks that Wario's name sounds like "Wadio" in-game.
    • Furthermore, the capitalization of the letters “W”, “D”, and “R” in his tag “WaDiRob” is in homage to his usage of Wario, King Dedede, and R.O.B. in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
  • Before his first match at the 2GG Championship, WaDi became engaged to his girlfriend and fellow MD/VA smasher, Cinnpie, proposing to her onstage. However, they called off the engagement on December 31st, 2019, but are still on amicable terms.[3]
  • WaDi shares his birthday with Mew2King.
  • WaDi is notorious on his streams for his pose when offering a handshake, where he has his hand raised and close to the camera. This has become a meme in the Smash community.[4]
  • WaDi went through the first 15 months of Ultimate-lifespan without owning a Nintendo Switch and a copy of the game at home. This feat is notable due to his consistency in tournaments and in PGRU rankings. He bought a Nintendo Switch during the first COVID-19 lockdown in April 2020.
  • He has a tattoo of the R.O.B. series symbol on his arm.[5]
