Chandy is a Donkey Kong main from Austin, Texas. Although he was considered among the best DK mains in the country in Project M 3.02, he is primarily a Melee player and is considered to be the best Melee DK main in Texas after defeating Mouf 5-2 in a first to five DK ditto at Smash @ the Dojo 3. He is currently ranked 6th on the Austin Melee power rankings despite using DK almost exclusively. Chandy is debatably the third best active Melee DK main in the world after Phish-It and Green Ranger.
Chandy is also credited with discovering the Banzai Punch, an offensive technique that uses the intangible frames of DK's Giant Punch to absorb the explosion of Link or Young Link's bombs while also dealing explosive damage to the target. This technique is incredibly situational and has seen virtually no use in competitive play, like most of his other "revolutionary" technology.
Chandy's latest DK combo video, "BRUTAL", came in third place in the 2015 MIOM combo video contest with an aggregate score of 7.25 out of a possible 10 points. In January 2016 he released his second DK combo video, "BEATDOWN" to critical acclaim on both YouTube and the r/SSBM subreddit.
