Contributions

Delphiki has written a guide on competitive smash play which focuses on the fluidity and nature of the metagame. It explains the nature of the metagame as related to characters, tournament rules, the community, and the individual player. He has also created a guide to playing the Ice Climbers at a competitive level, featured on AllisBrawl.com.

In addition to guides, Delphiki also maintains a blog on All is Brawl which covers Smash theory among other topics.

Most tournaments in the Sacramento community were organized or co-organized by Delphiki. In addition to local tournaments, Delphiki was a staff member at Super Champ Combo, and has aided TOs at a number of other major tournaments, including OC3 (for which he aided with funding), and the NorCal Ultimate Biweekly.

Delphiki is an administrator at nealdt's AllisBrawl.
