Mew2King, commonly known as M2K, is an American smasher from New Jersey who is currently residing in Southern California. He started playing competitively and attending tournaments in 2005 for Melee and 2008 for Brawl, and has worked up a reputation of being one of the best Melee and Brawl players in the world due to his great chaingrabbing, camping, and comboing skills, as well as his extremely technical and intelligent play style, earning him the nickname The Robot. Worldwide, he is widely considered to be the best Melee Sheik and Marth player, one of the top Melee Fox mains, one of the two best Melee Mewtwo players, and one of the best Brawl Meta Knight players. Mew2King was also considered one of the best King Dedede players when he played him shortly after Brawl's release (whom he still uses along with Falco in MK-banned tournaments). He was ranked 3rd on both the discontinued Smash Panel Power Rankings and SSBPD, was ranked 1st on the discontinued North Atlantic Regional Power Rankings, and is currently ranked 1st and 2nd on the Tristate Melee and Brawl Power Rankings, respectively. He is also ranked 15th on the unfinished Smash 64 ELO Rating, and was voted 3rd best player in 2013 by panelists on the 2013 SSBM Player Rankings.
Mew2King was a major threat in Melee's tournament scene in the years before Brawl's release, consistently placing in the money at nationals. In the first few years of Brawl's lifespan, Mew2King dominated the national scene, rarely losing sets in tournaments, and remains one of the best players in both Melee and Brawl to date. During late 2013, after years of not winning a major Melee tournament, Mew2King went on a winning streak where he won almost every singles event he entered, taking sets off of players who he had seldom defeated in that recent time, including Mango, Hungrybox, and PPMD. This is commonly referred to as "The Return of the King."
Mew2King made many important discoveries about Melee on his own by testing several aspects of the game. This includes character weight, falling speed, attack knockback, priority, game physics, and so on. He stores this information here as a repository for Melee statistics, which, to this day, many casual and professional Smashers refer to alike for more information about their character's data and inner workings.

Controversies
Intentional forfeiting, match-throwing, and splitting
Much of the controversy focused on three bracket manipulation infractions in Brawl tournaments:
- At MLG DC 2010, after losing to ADHD in the loser's finals, he accepted a $500 compensation from ADHD[1]. In response, MLG banned both players from the 2010 MLG finals under the grounds of "forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate Rankings or Brackets."
- In May of 2011, Mew2King, ADHD, and Anti all received yellow cards under the Unity infraction system for bracket manipulation in response to a situation at KTAR 5. Mew2King had forfeited to Anti in the Winners' Semifinals, defeated Dabuz in Losers' Quarters, then forfeited to ADHD in Losers' Semis. All of the players besides Dabuz agreed to split their winnings afterwards.
- At GENESIS 2 (July, 2011), Mew2King received a red card under the Unity infraction system for "intentional under-performance" by choosing Ganondorf in a pool match against Sade and allowing himself to lose, after dominating the rest of his pool with his usual Meta Knight.
In response to some of these splitting controversies, Mew2King has stated that he was in a poor mood during the tournament sets, or that he agreed to split because splitting was extremely common at the time, and believed that splitting money was considered being a nice person (he states that he did not know about MLG's rule that splitting was illegal).
Revival of Melee 5
After some time without major controversy, Mew2King caused a significant stir-up at Revival of Melee 5's Melee singles event. Assuming that Dave's modified stupid rule was in effect, as it was with most other tournaments during that year, he counterpicked Final Destination, a stage he had already won on, for his game 5 against Unknown522 in Winners' Semis. After M2K won the match, Unknown expressed his skepticism to the TO, Alukard, who ruled that game 5 was to be replayed. Unknown proceeded to win the replay, leading to the following chain of events:
- Mew2King forfeits from the tournament.
- He later re-enters the tournament after some convincing from Hax.
- KirbyKaze throws Winners' Finals against Unknown, and M2K and Unknown agree to split publicly.
- Unknown refuses to play his main in Grand Finals and M2K wins the tournament, causing backlash from the community.
While this controversy started with Mew2King's mistake in his stage counterpick, it is not considered entirely his fault. Many place the majority of the blame on Alukard for forcing the players to replay the match, and some on Unknown for not checking the rule until after the game.
Trip to Japan
Mew2King's well-publicized trip to Japan two weeks prior to the Sun Rise Tournament was filled with numerous controversies that led to criticism and false rumors about his character. Mew2King arrived with $350 and a backup debit card, with plans on relying on Toph for financial aid in the chance that he would run out of money. While staying with professional Japanese smasher Nietono, he vomited on his host's futon after a night of drinking with Nietono and others, but later paid him 6000 yen for a replacement.

CLASH Tournaments, a Tristate located gaming team, sponsored Mew2King in around a time when his actions were particularly infamous among the community, mostly in the form of highly embarrassing "Mew2King stories" that were not always true. After sponsorship, the public's view of his attitude has improved dramatically, making him a much more respectable figure in the community than he had been before. Many players cite to have found a new faith or respect for him after air time on CLASH Tournament's stream of Collision VI on January 5th, where he commentated two exhibition sets at the end of the tournament with fellow caster Keitaro. Many newer players in the community have also said that unlike most other top-ranked smashers, he is willing to take the time to play friendlies with anyone, even the weaker players, despite being requested to do so frequently. He has also helped players of all levels improve their technique, including top professionals such as Hax and Armada, and publicizes their accomplishments. His tournament placements since then have also gone up, especially in Melee.
Mew2King, in response to the rumors and criticism that he has received, has also been actively working to improve his personality, taking in feedback while also admitting flaws that he had displayed in the past[2].
Trivia
- Mew2King, being a very technical player, was initially an outspoken critic of Brawl, claiming that it lacked many of the elements that made Melee a fun game to play[3]. Later, he saw Brawl as an opportunity to get ahead of the curve, and began playing Brawl competitively as well. During some time from 2008-2009, he was considered the undisputed top player for both games.
- Mew2King has stated that he finds Melee more enjoyable than Brawl mainly because of the technical aspects of the game when compared to Brawl. Certain aspects of Brawl's mechanics contribute to his "love-hate relationship" regarding it, and he particularly voices his dislike of the Ice Climbers[4], claiming they "ruin" the game. On The Big House 3's livestream, he stated that he was thinking about quitting Brawl in favor of continuing Melee as well as pursuing the goal of being the best Smash 4 player. He still attends various Brawl tournaments, but much less compared to when the game had first come out.
