The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Plup is a smasher from Florida who is considered to be one of the best Melee players in the world, one of the best Sheik players (along with Mew2King), a top Fox player, and the best Samus player in the world. He has had strong placings in nationals, such as 3rd at EVO 2016, 4th at CEO 2016, and 5th at Smash Summit 2 and Smash Summit 3. He is also a strong doubles player, frequently teaming with Hungrybox to great success. He is currently ranked 3rd on the Central Florida Melee Power Rankings and 6th on the Summer 2017 SSBMRank.

After Apex 2015, Plup has officially made the switch from Samus to maining Sheik, while still using Samus as an occasional counterpick. Plup also has demonstrated his competence with other characters such as Luigi which he used exclusively at CEO Dreamland, defeating Nintendude and Druggedfox and placing 5th to give the character its best placing at a major. He also managed to place 3rd at CFL Smackdown 72 by playing exclusively Young Link. In addition, he won the tournament Frame One in 2016 using only Fox, defeating Wizzrobe, Axe, and Colbol in the process.

Plup is also a professional Project M Samus player, and also plays Meta Knight and Sheik occasionally in both singles and doubles. He took 1st place in CEO 2014 Project M doubles with fellow Florida smasher Wizzrobe.
