Southpaw, also known as Lord Southpawington the III of the 25th Bloodline, is a smasher from Santa Clarita, California who resides in Paw Manor. He mains Toon Link. He is generally considered to be one of the coolest and chillest Super Smash Bros. Brawl players from coast to coast, with consistent drowning in nationals since 2009. He holds the distinction of being seeded last in pools even though his record reflects otherwise. He is currently considered the fifth best Toon Link player in the world behind CodyKnight, also known as Quest, a New England Smasher. (Contrary to Quest's most recent tag change, he claims to be a Toon Link main). Despite being considered one of the best guitar players in the history of Brawl, Southpaw hates jam sessions and prefers to just kick back. He is also a known as a top osu! player and consistently trains with fellow comrades.
Southpaw is best known for defeating both Mew2King and Chris G in Brawl tournaments, presenting his report of victory on All is Brawl blogs. Both highlight victories took place in the boogie down Bronx, defeating Chris G at the Bronx Community College single's tournament and defeating Mew2King at Bum's Casa de Crack 420 Blaze It: Project B Edition's doubles tournament. Always by Southpaw's side is HelpR, who teamed with Southpaw when they bested the great Mew2King. HelpR is also known as the 10th best in New York City, who famously cause the merge between the New Jersey and New York City Power Rankings.
Since Smash 3DS's release, Southpaw has been attending tourneys in the Southern California area. He is also known for discovering a Yoshi Training Mode combo counter exploit. A video of this exploit can be found on his YouTube page here.
