I started playing Smash when I was 8 years old, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with. Until one day at a yard sale I saw a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee, two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card. Ever since that day I knew that the series would be with me for a very long time.

Im a very dedicated Meta Knight player because of my childhood experiences with The Kirby Series, and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion. Some of my friends who've played against Vancouver's top players like Big D and Firefly, and are of even skill of me, even consider me the best Smash 4 Meta Knight player in Vancouver, mainly for these reasons:

I am the highest placing Meta Knight at every tournament I go to.
I won Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2015 without losing a single game.
At Vancouver Battle Royal #2, many players considered it.
Top players such as FoCus and Locus consider it.

What is 20MK?

20MK is a small, unofficial, kick-starter group created by MetaKing, a player generally considered to be the best SSB4 Meta Knight player in Vancouver, British Columbia. The groups main goal is to find and combine forces of Meta Knight players to improve and innovate the character's metagame, in a similar vein to 20GX. 20MK also encourages new players from young high-schoolers to inexperienced college students to join 20MK in an effort to improve their skill and mentality, even if they do not main or secondary Meta Knight. As of now, only two players are members of 20MK, due to the fact of being new and very unknown.

The term 20MK comes from the infamous joke made by Hax known as 20XX, where it is said that "The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox." The term has since been parodied to other Smash characters, such as 20GX for Captain Falcon, or 20DDD for King Dedede. For Meta Knight, the term abbreviates to 20MK.

General things about me

I once experienced a glitch in Project M 3.02 with my friend in Boss Battles Mode, where my friend, AuraSoul's Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died. Unfortunately this only happened once and I didn't record any video proof (wish I did).
I have been to Nintendo of Canada's building (because it is located in my hometown), as well as walking past Nintendo of JAPAN's building during my trip to Japan.
I have been in the building of Namco Bandai Studios in Vancouver's building, and am friends with the Executive Vice President, Atsuo (Anthony) Nakayama.
I Got Kirby Triple Deluxe one day before it officially came out in North America, and NO it is not a Japanese copy (Strangely I found it in a Real Canadian SuperStore of all places?)
I met the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet at a Retro Gaming Expo in New Westminster.
I am friends with a few of the top professional players in BC (mostly Jason, Mason, and Landon; I refer to them by their real names).

At Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2014's Doubles tournament, I BARELY survived beating a team 1 vs 2 as Marth in Grand Finals, with me having one stock and my opponents with FOUR!!! (Which is ironic going to that Project M doubles incident I mention later on here.)
At Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2014, I Ken Combo'd someone in friendlies, WITH Roy!!!
At Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2016, in losers semis for doubles, I went off-stage as Marth with a down air, and spiked both of my opponents AT THE SAME TIME! "I defiantly deserved to taunt there! (Not the real footage, but looked a little like this.)

The Nihon fest tournament was a F**KING MESS!!! I had 16 players on a list chosen to fight each other AT RANDOM (Not a standard bracket) ON ONE TV and they DID NOT have a GameCube Controller Adapter (THANK GOD I brought mine, and to add to that, other GameCube controller users had to borrow mine, Jason (FoCus) and Krizeros' controllers, as they only provided Wii U Pro Controllers). After me and Jason complained the TO (who BTW is a total Sakurai-esque troll who doesn't know how to run a proper tournament and isn't even the REAL TO and only a sub) to make a bracket format instead, he ORIGINALLY did not plan for there to be a losers bracket (until I suggested it). Top 8 was played the second day even though we had plenty of time the first day, and when Top 8 FINALLY happened, only 4 of the 8 players showed up (Me, Jason, Krizeros, and some other guy we don't know). The worst part was the Top 8 "Bracket"; the TO made it ROUND-ROBIN rules instead of the proper bracket, and ignored the fact that winners play winners, and losers play losers. Me and Jason spent almost 12 min arguing with him until he finally decided to do it the proper way. After the tournament, Me, Jason, and Krizeros immediately drove off to VSB to make-up for a disappointing tournament.
Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2016 (whom I was the one that started it and was the TO of... Meaning it was kinda unofficial...) only had 6 entrants... (4 teams in doubles) Yeah... I know... BUT, it makes it my first ever Smash 4 tournament that I've won solely using Lucina, and to NOT USE META KNIGHT AT ALL!!! Now That's a BIG Surprise coming from Me! Also, no game losses... Again...

At Anime Revolution 2014, me and my partner won our first set, then after that someone came-up to us and said "you were fighting the wrong team". We then played the team we were suppose to fight, but my friend's Link got the $#!% beaten out of him, leaving my Meta Knight alone, which resulted in our loss. BUT THEN the same guy told us that we WERE fighting the right team, but couldn't do anything about it because of complications on the bracket and because it was already near the end of the tournament, making us only place 7th out of 11 teams! (And I drank a lot of Orange Crush for nothing!).
Big D (the best player in Vancouver) won Anime Revolution 2014 so Dominantly, that he was BANNED FROM PARTICIPATING NEXT YEAR!!.... Or, so they say... When I asked him at Vancouver Battle Royale #2, he said "No, I'm not banned from anything...", but when I asked other players, they said "thats all he f***ing talks about..."

In My opinion...
