ShinyMark is a Super Smash Bros. UltimatePikachu player from Guatemala. He initially came into prominence during the online era, where he established himself as one of the best Pikachu players in the online metagame. Since the post-online metagame, ShinyMark has become the best player in Central America. His breakout performance was at Smash Factor 9, where he defeated Sisqui and MKBigBoss in route to a 5th place finish, making him the second Pikachu player to place top 8 at a supermajor; due to this performance and consistently strong results in North America, many players consider ShinyMark to be the current best Pikachu player in the world. Outside of these wins, he has also defeated players such as Sparg0, Glutonny, MkLeo, Gackt, Skyjay, and SHADIC, and is currently ranked 1st on the Guatemalan Power Rankings and 34th on the LumiRank 2023. He was also ranked 16th on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7.
ShinyMark is known for his spacing and defensive playstyle with all the characters he plays. With Pikachu, he forces his opponents into tech chases that he can use to follow up on other aerials he uses, which is then used to follow up into edgeguards that other players wouldn't have even thought of before. ShinyMark is also known for his conservative edgeguards, never really overextending his moves whilst being cautious of how much stage control he has which can help him live stocks for a lot longer.
