| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

NJzFinest (aka "Shaman") is a competitive smasher who is part of the East Coast and Midwest competitive communities. He's known for being very skilled with various low tiers despite starting as a Fox/Falco main (former tag "FoxandFalco") and a 10+ year veteran of Smashboards. He is one of the tournament organizers for the "Jersey Japes" weekly in Princeton New Jersey and has repeatedly topped the Melee rankings on Smashladder.com. In 2015 NJzFinest was defeated by Hungrybox by 4 stocks (Mario vs DK). This is where the popular meme of "Hungrybox took your soul" originated. Crushed, he focused his efforts on other games in which he did not fare as well as he did in melee. NJzFinest has now taken a step in a different direction becoming more of an event organizer, commentator and coach to new and upcoming players.
