Biography

Smash Styles
- Doubles
Aaron's main character is Marth, but he has been known to play Young Link if he feels so inclined. He will usually team with Alex "Ax" Schumacher (a Roy player). When playing as Marth, his job is to put damage on the other team and set up kills from Roy's power moves, while also edgeguarding and spiking as appropriate. When Ax plays Link Kirschner will use Young Link and flip roles. As Young Link, he uses the Dair as his primary move and has developed impeccable aim with it. Also, he will play Mr. Game & Watch when the SLAPAHO team is playing in Hyrule Temple and his partner is playing Samus. Here, the team makes good use of the Oil Panic attack (both glitch and normal).
- Singles
When playing singles, Kirschner will use Marth in almost every situation. He is a very opportunistic player, making good use of Marth's counter until his opponent reveals an opening. He is also relentless with Marth's spike. His tertiary move is a combo involving Marth's back throw into a forward smash, often followed by a spike. He is currently progressing as formidable opponent with both Fox and Jigglypuff in addition to Marth
Tournaments
Kirschner has competed in one singles tournament at the University of Iowa, where he placed second behind SLAPAHO teammate C.J. Palmer.
Kirschner has also hosted and organized a doubles tournament.
