Tarik is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Greninja player with a Kazuya secondary from Germany, considered the best Greninja player in the world following Lea's inactivity as well as the best Kazuya player in Europe prior to relegating the character to an occasional counterpick; he was formerly the best Pokémon Trainer player in his country prior to dropping the character. Tarik is currently ranked 2nd on the German Power Rankings, 5th on the OrionRank 2022 Europe, 10th on the European Ultimate Power Rankings, 69th on the UltRank 2022, and 56th on the OrionRank 2022; he was also formerly ranked 35th on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5. He has defeated players such as Shuton, Yaura, Neo, SHADIC, Sisqui, Lima, ShinyMark, and Bloom4Eva.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Tarik (known as Tarik1510 at that time) was a Wi-Fi Warrior. He was a Greninja main with a Lucario secondary, and had a win over ThymeBalloon.

Playstyle

 

Tarik is known to gimp his opponents using Greninja's Hydro Pump. He is willing to apply a campy playstyle and plays matchups such as Samus and Snake almost perfectly. Tarik also uses Greninja's dash attack in online play, which has led to him placing well at several online tournaments.
