Cody Schwab, formerly known as iBDW and often referred to as just Cody, is a Melee smasher from Queens, New York who is considered one of the greatest Fox players of all-time and the best in the post-Slippi era. He began competing in 2015 and was first ranked on the SSBMRank in 2017 before entering the top 10 for the MPGR 2019 season. He then improved greatly in the Slippi era thanks to exceptionally strong performances online before claiming his first ever major tournament win at Riptide and his first supermajor win a few months later at Smash Summit 12. Since then, he has been considered one of the best players in the post-Slippi era, and was the definitive best in the world in 2023 after winning a first-to-10 match between him and Zain.

Despite his skill, Cody infamously had little luck securing a sponsor after Panda's collapse, though he was temporarily sponsored by several organizations such as Eggdog Esports and Nestlé's Canadian chocolate bar Coffee Crisp. He was eventually signed by Nouns Esports on March 1st, 2024, alongside Aklo.

Trivia

  • When he was younger, his Xbox tag was "iBDoiNWorK" which he then shortened to iBDW upon coming into the competitive Smash scene. He confirmed that it stood for nothing, and he usually preferred for people to refer to him by his name, Cody. He officially changed his tag to his real name, Cody Schwab, following GENESIS 9.
  • Cody Schwab is colorblind, being a protanope (absence of red retinal photoreceptors, making him unable to see red and several shades of other colors).
    • Despite having trouble distinguishing between green and red Fox, Cody mains green Fox instead of white or blue (either color would guarantee he can distinguish himself from his opponent in Fox dittos)
  • Cody Schwab has defeated all of the 2019 MPGR top 8 in offline sets, defeating Mango, aMSa, and Hungrybox at Smash Summit 8, Leffen at Shine 2019, Wizzrobe at Smash Summit 9, Axe at Smash Summit 11, Plup at Riptide, and Zain at Smash Summit 12.
  • Cody Schwab is the first solo Fox player to be ranked number 1 in the entirety of Melee's history.
