She is a moderator on /r/smashbros.

Community projects

pidgezero_one is most famously known for her efforts on Smashboards in raising awareness of Wiimmfi (unofficial Brawl Wi-Fi servers) in anticipation of the shutdown of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Under the direction of Diddy Kong of Kitty Corp: Meow Mix, she wrote a guide detailing how to save friend code information to dedicated Wii servers post-shutdown. Once the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was disabled, she changed the guide into a walkthrough for setting up Brawl with the online servers through a variety of methods. She also worked with SOJ in establishing an optimized netplay code for Brawl for use with Dolphin.

pidgezero_one also gained notability for reviving the offline tournament scene for Smash 64 in Toronto by hosting and promoting the monthly Flaoc tournament series. She owns the Ontario Smash community directory website, and creates and distributes promotional materials to spread awareness about the tournament community. For her efforts, she claims that she came very close to receiving an invitation to Super Smash Bros. Invitational, and was one of a select few smashers to receive Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U from Nintendo of Canada before official release. She later worked as a researcher on Canadian children's television/YouTube show Gaming Show (In My Parents' Garage), which resulted in the addition of competitive Smash content to the show, including guest appearances by Nakat.

pidgezero_one is a staff member and moderator at /r/smashbros, where she contributes to policy discussion and overseeing operations in the IRC channel. She is also a news writer for Smashboards, and has written for Melee It On Me. She has occasionally appeared as a guest on the SmashCast, Project Smash Online Roundtable, and Hypest podcasts, and was a featured guest in CLASH Tournaments' Roundtable Discussion during Twitch's Smash Community Spotlight week. She is an occasional consultant for Smash 64 and Brawl development and marketing on Smash Ladder.
