ANTi is a professional smasher from New York. In Brawl, he mains Meta Knight and seconds Marth and Snake. He is well-known for using a variety of characters at a professional level. He is widely considered among the top five Meta Knight mains in the United States in Brawl, as well as one of the best in the world. Anti was formerly ranked 5th on the Tristate Brawl Power Rankings. In SSB4, he mains Mario, Zero Suit Samus, and Sheik, and is regarded as one of the best Mario mains in the world (alongside Ally), as well as arguably the most technical Mario main in the world. He is also considered to be a top Zero Suit Samus and Sheik player. In the 3DS version of the game, he participated in online tournaments and used several characters, and played in the CLASH Invitational, a tournament hosted shortly after the Wii U was launched. While he mainly uses Mario, Zero Suit Samus, and Sheik, Anti has contributed several metagame advancements to Wii Fit Trainer, and formerly mained Luigi as well.
Playing style
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Anti's play style focuses around exploiting the weaknesses of his opponent in the specific matchup, as well as utilizing Meta Knight's wonderful tilt game. He makes special use of the combo forward tilt hit 1 → down tilt → X, where X is either a dash grab, down smash (usually at lower percentages), Mach Tornado, or forward aerial. Anti is reputedly known for having among the best match-up knowledge of all players in the metagame against many characters, such as Olimar and Diddy Kong, to the extent that other top professionals, such as Mew2King and Ally, used to study his matches closely to implement his strategies into their own plans.
