SuPeRbOoMfAn is a smasher, known to be the best Canadian Super Smash Bros. player, and the second best in North America, behind Isai. He is the founder and leader of the current top SSB64 crew, Prodigies of Premium Smash, and is currently ranked first on the unfinished Smash 64 ELO Rating.
SuPeRbOoMfAn is the undisputed top Captain Falcon main in the world, having taken sets off of players such as Ruoka Dancho and Mariguas. He is also a top Pikachu and Fox player, and is notorious for being extremely adept with nearly the entire roster, as can be seen in his twelve character battles.
History
SuPeRbOoMfAn won Smash 64 singles at GENESIS 2, defeating Isai's Luigi 3-1 in winners' finals, and then losing the first set of grand finals to Isai's Yoshi and Jigglypuff 2-3, but still winning the second set 3-2.
He repeated this performance at Apex 2012 six months later, defeating Isai's Link 3-1 in winners' finals, losing the first set of grand finals to Isai 2-3, and then winning the second set 3-1. In the Smash 64 doubles side event, he placed 2nd with JaimeHR, losing to Isai and Nintendude in winners' finals and grand finals.
SuPeRbOoMfAn returned to attend Apex 2013 next year, where he placed 3rd in Smash 64 singles. He defeated players such as Banze and Sensei in winners' bracket, before losing to Kikoushi 1-3 in winners' semis. He defeated JaimeHR 3-0 in losers' quarters and Ruoka Dancho 3-0 in losers' semis.

SuPeRbOoMfAn won Smash 64 singles at Zenith 2013, defeating Sensei 3-1 in winners' finals and 3-2 in grand finals. Notably, he played using his keyboard Kirby during the first three games of grand finals, though Sensei ended up with a 2-1 lead. He then switched to the usual controller and won the next two games to close out the set.
