Saint Patrick is an American smasher, currently living in San Diego, CA, part of the Team Harmony crew. He is well-known for playing a very-aggressive Ganondorf. Although he's not really the worst member, and is constantly improving (though at a snail's pace), he tells himself and other crew members that he's the worst member of the crew and can't improve. A middle ground between mind games and tech skill, he strives to get better and surprises many people with his "smart Falco,"(Romeo619) and his aggressive Ganondorf which continues to surprise people through the unexpected range and power of his moves.
Smash history
Saint Patrick first entered the SSBM scene about 2 1/2 years ago. It was at that time he met Trevyn (Zarelidchaos) and brought him over to his house for a couple smash sessions. Back then, Patrick played Sheik, and Trevyn played Marth (both lacking in much skill at all), and remembers one quote from Trevyn vividly: "Hey lemme try my Link, man. I've been practicing with him and I wanna make him my main." At the time his Link lacked much Gusto, but has since then gone on to become one of the best in the Nation. Patrick first attended a tournament held by a company called VGames, where he met Ken for the first time wearing his MLG hat. However, most of the people were unmentionable, and thus Patrick considers his first true tournament to be his first Westminster biweekly, held at Ken's and Manacloud's home where he mained Falco.. After going 0-2 and having no friends who played Smash at a tournament level, Patrick went on a "smash hiatus", not playing much smash until August '06, when The Ramen Shop held a tournament at Computing 101, a LAN center in Poway. He attended this tournament with Falco, lost to Greg and SexyDoodles, and decided it was time for a new main; someone who wasn't too high or too low on the tier list, and not widely used. He chose Ganondorf to be his man, and still uses him as his main source of destruction in teams, and as an alt in Singles.
