Nicki is a German Melee Ice Climbers main with a Fox secondary. He started playing in 2015 and first became ranked in Germany in July 2017 as a solo Fox player. With Fox, he defeated many of Europe's best players, including Professor Pro at Fête and Pricent and nebbii at Heir 5. In addition, he has defeated several notable international players such as Albert at Shine 2019 and Nickemwit and Zamu at The Parking Lot - Thursday. At his height with the character, he was ranked 83rd on the MPGR 2019.

Around the Smash World Tour 2021, Nicki began entering events with Ice Climbers. He has gradually relegated his Fox to a secondary, stating that he finds Ice Climbers more enjoyable to play. With Ice Climbers, he is best known for his run at Don't Park on the Grass 2024, where he defeated Zain, Cody Schwab, Jmook, Joshman, and Axe, alongside Swedish Delight using both Ice Climbers and Fox, to place 3rd. In addition, Nicki notably placed 13th at Collision 2024 defeating Ossify, and defeated Wizzrobe at Eggdog Invitational.
