Miscellaneous info
Skill Super Smash Bros. Melee Top professional

Shroomed is a top professional Melee player who mains Sheik, with Dr. Mario and Marth as secondaries, and is widely considered to be the best Dr. Mario player in the world. Despite Dr. Mario's status as a mid-tier character, Shroomed was able to perform exceptionally well with him, shown by his victories over renowned smashers such as Leffen, KirbyKaze, Overtriforce, and Mango. He is also the first smasher to take a set off of Mew2King in a Sheik mirror match. He consistently finished in the top 8 of big name tournaments such as Apex 2013 and EVO 2013 with only Dr. Mario; however, after an uncharacteristically low placement at Apex 2014, Shroomed decided to switch his main to his former secondary Sheik. He is currently ranked 3rd on the NorCal Melee Power Rankings and 10th on the 2015 SSBMRank. Shroomed, like Mew2King, has problems against the Ice Climbers matchup, he has lost to players such as Wobbles, dizzkidboogie, Fly Amanita, ChuDat, Nintendude, and Delphiki.

Trivia

  • Shroomed tends to be the subject of several memes in the Smash community;
    • At Smash Summit 2, Shroomed revealed that his "real name" is DaJuan Energy McDaniel, and he and SFAT made a short on the reveal.
    • I'm Not Yelling! was named after a brief speech from Shroomed at a Get Smashed at the Foundry weekly where he yelled this phrase whenever someone told him to stop yelling.
    • Shroomed is noted to have a very bright smile, which occasionally elicits sponsors from oral care companies beside his tag.
