Ixis, also known as IxisNaugus is a professional smasher in the United Kingdom, who mains Sonic in Smash 4, and previously mained Bowser in Brawl. His success within the United Kingdom has led him to become known as the country's best player as well as the best Sonic player in Europe. He currently sits at the top of the England Power Ranking, ahead of DKHo. He has two wins over ESAM.
As the UK's top-ranked player, Ixis has won a large number of tournaments within the country. Despite this, Ixis has yet to make a major impact outside of the UK, despite travelling to both Apex 2015 and GENESIS 3 where he came 65th. Ixis's most recent notable performances on a European scale was 9th place at Swedish tournament BEAST 6, where he was eliminated by Sodrek; PPT-S in Germany, where he reached Grand Finals, losing to Abadango; and 4th place at Europe's largest tournament to date, Syndicate 2016. However, at EVO 2017, he would finally make an impact outside Europe, double eliminating ESAM to make it into top 48. After winning qualification by winning a Spanish tournament, Ixis also returned to the USA to compete at Midwest Mayhem 11, finishing in 13th.
Play style
As a Sonic main, Ixis relies on fast-paced gameplay, and not giving opponents time to think. Ixis's Sonic stands out compared to other Sonic professionals due to his high use of Spin Dash for jumping and landing purposes, even using it for backward momentum.
