Playstyle

Dark Wizzy is mostly known for his extremely potent punish game and his "touch of death"; he has a mastery over Mario's combos, where he'll regularly lead each hit into a highly damaging combo that goes beyond the typical Mario fare, making getting grabbed by him an extremely threatening prospect. Since Mario typically finds ease to combo into KO moves, Dark Wizzy has a knack of finding various ways of leading his hits into a forward aerial or one of Mario's smash attacks for an early KO.

Trivia

  • Being comparable to Wizzrobe as a smasher of a very high skill level despite their young age, Dark Wizzy chose his tag at the suggestion of PB&J, being said to be the "black version" of Wizzrobe.
  • Dark Wizzy significantly prefers playing doubles over singles, and at tournaments will usually opt to play doubles friendlies over offers for 1v1s.
  • Dark Wizzy has a deep hatred for Sonic, and has the opinion that nobody should ever try to play the Sonic matchup as Mario.
  • Dark Wizzy considers fellow Most Valuable Gaming player Salem to be his bracket demon, having a very poor record against him.
    • In addition, Dark Wizzy struggles against Marss, who is 7-0 against him.
  • While Dark Wizzy is considered one of the best Mario players in Ultimate, his record in the mirror match is noticeably worse:
  • Among Dark Wizzy's other hobbies include Terraria, of which he is an avid fan of.
  • A consistent joke in Dark Wizzy's fanbase is calling him a furry, which he repeatedly denies.
  • Dark Wizzy is known for being very vocal about supporting trans rights, often times playing Mario's pink and blue alternate costume as a representation of this support. At GENESIS 7 he would wear a Transgender Pride flag as a cape on the main stage.
  • Dark Wizzy has been joked about SDing a lot, which he tends to do in majors. This has led to a joke of a curse, where people playing Mario SD.
  • Dark Wizzy is known about his love for Mario and the series overall, with this being expressed by tweets where he just states "Mario" gaining traction quickly.
    • This is also expressed by his Twitch layout being Mario themed, and his subs being claimed as "Mini-Marios".
