DJ Nintendo is an American/Dominican smasher main from the North East who currently resides in Bronx, NY. He is known for being proficient with most of the characters in Melee and is considered to be the best Bowser player in the world, along with having a solid Fox, Mario, and Samus. He is also known for having some of the most consistent survival DI in the world. DJ Nintendo is currently ranked 3rd on the NYC Metropolitan Area Melee Power Rankings.
Information
DJ Nintendo is widely known as the "voice" of the East Coast Melee scene, a role similar to that of HomeMadeWaffles on the West Coast, as he helps with setting up tournaments and commentating on tournament livestreams. He is also a great mentor or "sensei", as he enjoys helping players improve their games with his accurate and helpful advice; some of his most notable "students", such as Jman and The Moon, have reached widespread notoriety in the Smash community under and beyond his coaching.
He was also invited to participate in the E3 2014-held Super Smash Bros. Invitational tournament to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He used Bowser in the tournament.
Phrases
In addition to his commentary, DJ Nintendo uses an overt vocabulary during matches.
- "No D.I." (said while elongating and exaggerating the "I" sound) - his most popular phrase, which he says when someone fails to optimize directional influence
- "Drinking his DJs" (when someone DI's really well)
- "More Coverage than Verizon" - said when a smasher covers most or all of an opponent's options
- "Presshha!!" - an abstraction of the word pressure
- "Knee of Love" - used when there is a well spaced knee
- "Washing Machine" - refers to Peach's down smash
- "Papaya Smack" - refers to Samus's forward smash
- Some of his nicknames for Mr. Game & Watch's moves:
- "Metro Card" - forward aerial
- "Kingdom Hearts" - down aerial
- "Franklin the Turtle" - back aerial
- "Take a Seat" - forward tilt
He is also known for adding the word "love" to many of his phrases. If the opportunity presents itself, he will also speak Spanish with his fellow commentator.
