T3 DOM (or simply Dom), formerly known as T3 DOME, is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Richter player from Southern California, considered the best Richter player in the world after Riddles dropped the character. DOM, alongside Nitro, is infamous for imposing the so-called "Richter gauntlet" in Southern California, and he has set wins over players such as Dabuz, Nicko, Ned, Elegant, MuteAce, Larry Lurr, Fatality, and Goblin. He is currently ranked 4th on the SoCal Ultimate Power Rankings and 60th on the UltRank 2022.

He has managed to further prove his case as a top player in the Wi-Fi scene. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has found success in Wi-Fi tourneys, taking sets over Lui$, Sharp, Sparg0, MkLeo, and BestNess, and was formerly ranked 23rd on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v6.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, T3 DOM co-mained Mega Man and Ryu with a Captain Falcon secondary. He has wins over Taternator and KiraFlax.

Playstyle

T3 DOM is known for his calculative, yet aggressive playstyle⁠, despite his main's zoner archetype. While he makes use of Richter's various projectiles for setups, he has a natural ability to convert off of them, using the various sourspots on Richter's whip moves and down aerial. He is also infamous for his usage of Richter's down aerial to Uppercut setup, which he sometimes makes use of to earn an early stock. All of this combines into a flashy combo game, arguably one of the most developed among Simon and Richter players.
