Coney is a commentator from Odenton, Maryland, known for being one of the most prominent commentators in the United States for Smash 4 and Ultimate. He has commentated at many major and supermajor events including Super Smash Con, The Big House, and Smash World Tour, and often partners with TKbreezy and EE; the trio is known as "The Blast Zone", which is named after their bi-weekly talk show. In addition, he regularly streams on Twitch and uploads videos to his YouTube channel, boasting over 140,000 subscribers on the latter platform.
Prior to focusing on his commentary career, Coney was known for being one of the best Brawl King Dedede players in the world and was last ranked 84th on the SSBBRank 2014. He is known for being the only Dedede player to take a game off of Mew2King's Meta Knight, doing so at School is in Session 4. In addition, he played Wario in Project M, and was considered one of the best Wario players in the United States in the game's early years. Although Coney played other Smash games, he took the games less seriously compared to Brawl and Project M.
Coney has been signed with VGBootCamp since August 24th, 2016 and Luminosity Gaming since June 7th, 2023, as a commentator and/or content creator for both organizations. He was also formerly signed with Panda from March 2019 to December 2022.[1][2][3]
