Fatality is an SSBU Captain Falcon player from Sugar Hill, Georgia currently residing in Lilburn, Georgia who is considered one of the best Captain Falcon players in the world, along with NickC. He was formerly considered one of the top PM Captain Falcon players. He is currently ranked 5th on the Georgia Ultimate Power Rankings and 48th on the Spring 2019 PGRU. He has taken sets off of top players such as Myran, MVD, kameme, Raito, Puppeh, Mr E, Goblin, Umeki, Kola, and Mystearica.

In Smash 4, Fatality is also considered the best Captain Falcon player in the world. He 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. 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, and shortly after left the team on August 16th. On October 27th, 2016, he was signed by FlySociety, from which he left on April 18th, 2017. On May 18th, Fatality was signed by Team YP. Over a year later, on June 28th, 2018, Fatality and Team YP parted ways. Fatality would eventually be signed by eSports Ecosystem on September 21st, 2018. On April 2nd, 2019, Fatality left eSports Ecosystem.

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.
