Infinity is a high-level Canadian Ultimate Olimar player, and is considered the best Olimar player in Canada. He notably won Revenge of the 6ix: July Arcadian. [1] He has wins over players such as Lemmon, Captain L, Locus, tamim, V115, Runes, and Spencer. Infinity is currently ranked 7th on the British Columbia Ultimate Power Rankings.
In Smash 4, Infinity was a Cloud player with strong secondaries like Rosalina & Luma, Bayonetta, and Sonic from Ontario, Canada. He is considered one of the two best Cloud players in Canada (along with Blacktwins). Infinity is currently ranked 4th on the Southern Ontario Power Rankings, 1st on the York Region Power Rankings, and 2nd on the Team Sonic Power Rankings. He has wins over players such as NAKAT, Ryuga, Blacktwins, Thunder, Poke, NinjaLink, Chrim Foish, V115, Yoh, Daybreak, smasher1001, Runes, and Blade. He has notably taken two sets over tamim. On August 30th, 2018, Infinity announced his retirement from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Tournament history
Infinity entered the competitive scene when he was 13 years old. Attending his first local tournament, he won without dropping a single game. With his intelligent and calculating play style, he swiftly dominated his local scene and then became a major threat at the national level.
From Ontario to British Columbia
Following his transition to British Columbia to attend the University of British Columbia (UBC), he immediately began to dominate local tournaments at UBC and is considered to be one of the best players among University Students in North America. Despite being quite inactive from events, Infinity finally attended his first local at UBC in September 2019. Despite being double eliminated by Locus twice at his first local [2], he took a set over him at OctoBair and has taken the torch as the star player at UBC.
Becoming an Olimar Prodigy
Infinity is considered the best Olimar player in Canada despite no relevant tournament experience with the character in previous iterations of the game compared to other top Olimar players such as Dabuz, Shuton, Myran, and Klaatu who have been playing the character since Brawl and Smash 4.
Infinity first picked up Olimar during Ultimate's release and quickly became the best Olimar player in Canada. After missing out on most of the tournaments in the first 6 months of Ultimate, he attended a huge regional tournament in July 2019, located in Ontario, and took it over Brawl Legend V115 in grand finals with a reverse 3-0; using solo Olimar to take the tournament.
