Swedish Delight is one of the top smashers in the Tristate Area, and is the younger brother of Mr. F. He is consistently rated as among the strongest smashers in New Jersey, and is also considered one of the best Melee Sheik players in the region. He is known for his prowess against Captain Falcon, having taken sets off of top Falcon players such as Hax and Scar (including a 4-stock against the latter at Zenith 2013).
He solidified his top professional status by placing 25th at EVO 2014, where he defeated s0ft and Lucien in the losers' quarterfinals pool after losing to Javi, before being knocked out by aMSa.
He recently got 13th at the second largest tournament of all time, The Big House 5, winning vs. Westballz in top 64 winners before losing to SFAT. He then won vs Zhu before losing to Duck. Along with his partner, Nintendude, this was also the highest placing of any Atlantic North smasher at this event outside of Abate.
He is currently ranked 1st on the New Jersey Melee Power Rankings.
He was a founding officer of 'Scarlet Smash', the Smash Bros club at Rutgers University.
He plays under BERT Gaming, a crew of primarily Rutgers smashers along with Qerb and a few others.
