t0mmy is one of the team players in Super Smash Twins; the other being his twin brother t1mmy. The two numbers reflect the binary 01 which equates 2, signifying a union in separation as twins.
He lives in Northwest United States of America, and he's currently Smashing in Eugene, OR. Occassionally plays in NorCal and Washington areas, but has Smashed from east to west coast.
History
He started playing with Super Smash Bros. for the N64 at a game store prerelease demo. He fell in love with it within moments and has proclaimed it as one of the only good games for the N64. Years later, Nintendo promoted the Nintendo Gamecube through a series of events called the Gamecube Game Club where such games as Star Wars, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Smash Bros. Melee were available for demo. He attended an event in Philadelphia and enjoyed a competitive and fun atmosphere, then bragged about being one of the first people to play the game. But it wasn't until Fall of 2006 that changed the way he played the game from then on. A local Game Crazy store hosted a Nintendo-sponsored Super Smash Bros. tournament. t0mmy entered with Pichu and his brother played through as Kirby. It was a free-for-all, items-on mess with broken controllers and two seasoned players (and previous champions) ganging up on the other players. t!mmy ended up winning the tournament, and more importantly it started their interest finding better players. Coming across Smashboards they found the closest tournament in Oregon was TANG hosted in Portland by Aftermath. The turnout was small (about 8 entrants) but was the spark that lit a wild fire of tournaments you now see in Oregon today. Soon thereafter, t0mmy and t1mmy met with Tudios and Shin and started a community in Eugene, starting the Smashfest:Eugene and Big City Brawl events and NOregon (Norther Oregon) grew larger with TANG, OATS, Empire Games, Gamer's Guild, and Portland Kombat.
By the time of Brawl's release the Smash Twins were hosting or overseeing the tournaments in Oregon and have successfully brought a regional tournament to Oregon with The Oregon Mega Games (The OMG). Recently they have picked up sponsorship for their events professionally, and they are now hosting both within the borders of Oregon and California. Best in the West marks their first regional event outside the borders of Oregon, looking to improve the tournament scene by sending invites to the best players in the region.
He is currently part of the staff on AiB as a moderator of the R.O.B. boards and content team, also does work on the West Coast group, the Oregon Group, and the SSBB AiB Character Tier List group. Needless to say, he has his hands full as both a professional gamer and a supporter of the community.
Tournament History
t0mmy started competitive Smashing with TANG 9 in Fall 2006. Since then he has helped organized and competed in nearly every SF:E tournament. Playing catch-up to all the seasoned vetrans he's boldly jumped into the big competitive scene with events like MLG, 0C2, and NCT2. Every Sunday he competes in the Big City Brawl SSB League and is currently ranked #1 in Eugene.
