Mr. Doom is most notable however for his extraordinary SDI capabilities in Brawl, described by players as being TAS-like, examples of which were shown in montages on youtube. This lead to pulling off particularly exceptional SDI becoming known as "Doom SDI" in the Smash community, and when smashers uploaded their own videos showing off exceptional cases of SDI, the videos would be often titled "[smasher's name]'s SDI sucks" in reference to the video titles of Mr. Doom's SDI montages.
