Delphiki is an Ice Climbers player from Rancho Cordova, CA who recently helped give rise to the crew Nova Complex. He uses the monikers BEAN and DELF in play, with all three names stemming from the character of Julian Delphiki (not to be confused with J_DELPHIKI) in the parallel series of Ender's Shadow novels by Orson Scott Card. He is the younger brother of DRGN, with whom he sometimes teams as Dragon Army, being a combination of a reference to the Ender novels and DRGN's name. He more frequently teams with crewmate Catnip as Too Good.

Characters

While he mains Ice Climbers and Pichu, he also occasionally uses Falco and Link.

His Climbers style relies heavily on desynching, and he in fact desynchs much more than most professional Ice Climber players. He has been quoted as saying "I main Popo, but my secondary is Nana." He is also one of the NorCal Ice Climbers, the other [superior] ones being choknater, ProdigyKid and Sidefx.


Delphiki is a regular attendant/organizer of almost all local competitions, and has attended several tournaments out of the Sacramento Area including NorCal Biweeklies, UCLA Monthlies, and NCT2. Also, he hosts and organizes both the Sacramento Biweeklies, and his own Delphiki Games, both in the Sacramento Community.

Vids

Delphiki's only videos to date, come from a Smashfest at TeamScape leader ender's house on November 11th, 2006. It is rumored that Delphiki aims to produce a combo video showcasing his Ice Climbers.

Contributions

Delphiki has written a guide on competitive smash play which focuses on the fluidity and nature of the metagame. It explains the nature of the metagame as related to characters, tournament rules, the community, and the individual player. Also, most tournaments in the Sacramento Community are organized or co-organized by Delphiki and TC1. These tournaments include the Delphiki Games, the Sacramento Biweeklies, and Tyde's Manly Smashfests [1], which feature Nova Complex and many other players in the Sacramento Area. Delphiki is also a moderator/administrator on Nealdt's tia.
