KoRoBeNiKi is an American smasher from New Jersey. In the original Super Smash Bros, he uses Yoshi as a main and Captain Falcon as secondaries. He is in the reputed online crew, Prodigies of Premium Smash and one of the better online crews, StreetBrawlas, for brawl.
The Beginning of Super Smash Bros. 64 Online
Around fall of 2006, KoRoBeNiKi was told about Smash Bros. online by MattNF. At the start, he was a total noob. He started out using Luigi, Captain Falcon, and [[Donkey Kong (SSB)|DK] but he did not short hop and was overall a below average player.
The Better Days
During January 2007, SuperBoomFan allowed him to join Prodigies of Premium Smash (though, it was mostly because of being a Falcon user and a friend of MattNF). He was the 4th or 5th player to join the clan.
Still plays random people for fun at 10:00 (Eastern Time) and later. Many people consider him to be one of the best Yoshi's online. Like all other smash games, he has a weakness. In this game, it would be a top Mario user or a top Kirby user. His least favorite Low Tier matchup is Yoshi vs DK or Yoshi vs Luigi. He actually likes playing vs Pikachu and Fox regardless of their tier placement. Smash 64 is his favorite smash game due to the fact that it is the overall most balanced smash game. It also contains his favorite smash music (Metal Mario) and the best online experience. The tornado is his other main weakness as he tends to be always comboed into the "nado."
Rankings
As per recent player tier lists (for ranking people), KoRoBeNiKi is considered by the majority of the people of the online smash 64 community to be at the top of B tier or tied with Kabal for top of B tier. This is in other words a semi-pro.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
At the start, KoRoBeNiKi used Roy and Luigi. Currently, Ganondorf and Falcon are his main characters with Luigi as a secondary.
Brawl
KoRoBeNiKi got brawl a few days after it came out. He can virtually use anyone but mains Luigi (SSBB) due to maining him in melee and due to Liking the fact that Luigi can combo heavily. He uses Marth for Falco's and Game and Watch for Rainbow Cruise as well. He mains Falcon and Mario for low tiers after Ness was moved.
Online ladders
On SBR when he played there, his rank was between 50 and 100 out of the around 1300 ranked people before he stopped going there when the doubles ladder was never made. On the earlier AiB ladders, KoRo placed around the top 200 to 300 people. In the most recent ladders, he hasn't had as much success and as of now he is very rarely playing brawl wifi and rarely playing brawl.
KoRoBeNiKi, similar to other AiB members to show that GB was a joke, entered the brawl ladder for Gamebattles as well. He got to the top 10 places very easily using secondaries. KoRo has been banned from the GB forums due to advertising AllisBrawl.
Fatal 5
Originally, KoRo was a member of the highly ranked online brawl clan Fatal 5. Fatal 5 includes such people as Tapion, PhantomX, Sonic Ghost, and Izaw. KoRo used all characters and was one of F5's brawl testers. His tests were rigorous but at the same time relaxed. He had participated in many clan wars usually taking out 3-5 stocks per battle depending on the strength of the opposing crew/matchup. He was the other final tester besides Near and participates as a starter in all clan wars, usually being sent in to deal with Snake users. Around 6 months ago, KoRo quit Fatal 5 as the community became too stagnant. He quit around the same time the entire brawl division fell apart and people left to various clans or quit brawl wifi. Examples of this include KoRo himself who quit F5 and joined the Street Brawlas, one of the top brawl online clans. he very rarely appears however.
Teams
KoRoBeNiKi prefers teams over singles. He uses Falcon as a main for doubles in smash 64 as he does not consider Yoshi that good for smash 64. In low tier doubles, KoRoBeNiKi mains Samus and DK.
Recent news
KoRoBeNiKi has recently started to be fed up with the NJ community brawl scene as per the last 2 tournaments. he is getting back into melee as he finds the brawl community immature and the gameplay stagnant.
