Wes, sometimes known as "DA Wes", is a New York Samus player, widely considered one of the best Samus players in the country. He has sometimes even been referred to as the "Father of Samus," inventing many of her tactics which are still used as of late. In Brawl/Brawl+, Wes mains Sonic and is one of the best Sonics in the state.
Wes has been a top smasher since Melee's tournament birth.
Playstyle and tournament activity
Over the years, with an ever-changing metagame, Wes has managed to keep his skill levels up to compete with the best smashers around the U.S. What makes his accomplishment even more impressive is the fact that he has done so with a character, Samus, who is a mid tier. With higher tier characters becoming more and more popular in today's competitive scene, his loyalty has always been to the armored star of the Metroid series. Nowadays Antoine doesn't travel to Out-of-State (OoS) tournaments as frequently as in his past. Sometimes he randomly shows up to an OoS tourney.
