Fatality is an SSB4 Captain Falcon player from Lilburn, Georgia, considered the best Captain Falcon player in the world, and was formerly considered one of the top PM Captain Falcon players. Fatality is currently ranked 2nd on the Georgia Smash 4 Power Rankings and 19th on the Panda Global Rankings 100. He has taken sets off of top players such as ZeRo, Nairo, Dabuz, Ally, Salem, Larry Lurr, komorikiri, CaptainZack, Marss, and Kameme.

Fatality earned the reputation as the best Captain Falcon player with his Top 8 placings in both Super Smash Con 2015 and Super Smash Con 2016, in addition to getting Top 16 at 2GGT: ZeRo Saga. However, his best performance yet was at 2GGC: Civil War, where he impressed the crowd with an incredible performance in bracket while solo-maining a character that most people would consider a borderline high-tiered character at best. He ran through players such as Trela, komorikiri, and Nairo among other top players until he was defeated by Dabuz in Grand Finals to end at 2nd place.

On April 17th, 2016, Fatality was signed by True AmBition,[1] and shortly after left the team on August 16th.[2] On October 27th, 2016, he was signed by FlySociety,[3] from which he left on April 18th, 2017.[4] On May 18th, Fatality was signed by Team YP.[5] Over a year later, on June 28th, 2018, Fatality and Team YP parted ways.[6] Fatality would eventually be signed by eSports Ecosystem on September 21st, 2018.[7]

Playstyle

Fatality implements heavy usage of dash-dancing, utilizing it for spacing, mind games, and approaches. He is known for his heavy punish game, 0-to-K.O. combos, and impressive off-stage proficiency. In order to KO his opponents (often times at very early percents) Fatality incorporates air dodge reads and a myriad of kill set-ups, all with style. He is also reputable for his consistent usage of footstool combos.

Trivia

  • Fatality always takes a brief respite before and after each round to compose himself. He will also sometimes exercise in preparation.
  • Though Fatality is generally considered the best Captain Falcon player in the world, his record in the mirror match is less than exemplary:
  • EVO 2015 was Fatality's worst placing at any Smash 4 tournament in his career, placing 65th at the tournament.
  • After winning the Best Combo (Wii U) award at Super Smash Con 2017's Smashies Award Show, Fatality mentioned Isai as the one who inspired him to become a Smasher in the first place, and that he tries to model his own style of gameplay after Isai's. [8]
