Swedish Delight is one of the top smashers in the Tristate Area, and is the younger brother of Mr. F. He is consistently rated as among the strongest smashers in New Jersey, and is also considered one of the best Melee Sheik players in the region. He is known for his prowess against Captain Falcon, having taken sets off of top Falcon players such as S2J, Hax, and Scar (including a 4-stock against the latter at Zenith 2013).
He solidified his top professional status by placing 25th at EVO 2014, where he defeated s0ft and Lucien in the losers' quarterfinals pool after losing to Javi, before being knocked out by aMSa.
He placed 13th at the second largest tournament of all time for that time, The Big House 5, winning vs. Westballz in top 64 winners before losing to SFAT. He then won vs Zhu before losing to Duck. Along with his partner, Nintendude, this was also the highest placing of any Atlantic North smasher at this event outside of Abate.
He was a founding officer of Scarlet Smash, the Smash Bros club at Rutgers University. He currently plays under BERT Gaming, a crew of primarily Rutgers smashers along with Qerb and a few others. He is currently ranked 1st on the New Jersey Melee Power Rankings, and 31st on the 2015 SSBMRank. Him and his doubles partner at GENESIS 3, Slox, took two sets, 2-0 and 3-2, off of Hungrybox and Axe, knocking Hungrybox and Axe out of the tournament.
His arguably most impressive performance was Pound 2016, where he made Top 32 in winners' side. His first set in the bracket was against Laudandus, where he defeated him 2-0. Next came his set against Professor Pro, where the latter lost 3-2. Entering winners' semis, he was pitted against Hungrybox, where he was defeated 3-0, knocking him into losers' bracket. After being knocked out, he was pitted against Laudandus again, this time defeating him 3-0. Unfortunately, in losers' semis, Mango clutched it out in a nailbiter set 3-2, ending his run at 4th place.
