Inui is a smasher who mains Sheik in Melee and is also a tournament organizer from Ocean Grove, New Jersey currently residing in La Crosse, Wisconsin. His first tournament was a Gauntlet in NYC in October of 2005, where his first tournament loss was against Wes, opening his eyes to the highest levels of play and inspiring him to keep getting better. That same day, a very young Hax taught Inui how to wavedash and L cancel. Inui also played Brawl doubles with Meta Knight (mostly teaming with Atomsk, Mew2King, Zucco, Malcolm, Snakeee, and Ally). He was known as the "Doubles God" of New Jersey; especially on Smashboards in the Tri-State social thread during the early and middle portions of Brawl's competitive lifespan due to his very high consistent placements in doubles with various partners. His consistent placings were even more remarkable as he was not one of the strongest players in one of if not the strongest regions for Brawl with top players such as Ally, M2K, ADHD, Atomsk, Anti, Dabuz, and Nairo attending NJ and NY locals. He rose to national prominence in Melee with a 7th place finish at the stacked and difficult EVO East in 2007, then in 2009 he and Atomsk placed 3rd in Brawl doubles at the national tournament Clash of the Titans 4 after a very difficult bracket, which included beating ChuDat/Azen, Boss/Korn, and Dojo/Santi. Since then, Inui has been a doubles specialist in all Smash titles with very good results even on the national level. Inui is otherwise known for his tournaments hosted in central NJ, being close friends with Mew2King, controversial posts, the "Inui Logic" meme, and his altercation with Ryan Ford.

As of present times, Inui is currently ranked 3rd on the Wisconsin Power Rankings for Project M, Melee, and is ranked 9th for Smash 4

Inui logic

Inui is known in the smash community for the inside joke Inui logic, a statement saying "if A beats B and B beats C, A then beats C". An example (in Melee) is such:
