Steeler is a dedicated Pokemon Trainer Main in the Midwest region. He personally prefers to use Squirtle and Charizard through out his matches, using Ivysaur more sparingly due to the pokemon's sub-par tether recovery. Squirtle is by far his best pokemon, being a very powerful force against most opponents; his Charizard doing very well as well against tougher characters such as Meta Knight. He has been known to use Ivysaur for specific matchups and is rapidly increasing in skill with it. He is currently considered to be one of the best Pokemon Trainer mains, especially in the Midwest and Southwest. He places fairly high in Kansas tournaments and is still seeking success on a larger scale at the moment. Steeler is very active in the Pokemon Trainer community and is currently in charge of matchup discussions. He has no declared doubles partner, having teamed up at various times with Inferno (Team Russian Roulette), Affinity, and even a Level 9 Pikachu.
Trivia
- Steeler rarely competes in doubles tournaments due to Pokemon Trainer's vulnerable switching mechanic, and Steeler's overall horrible skill as a doubles partner. Still, he and Legan placed 9th in doubles at the Midwest Circuit Championships as "Team Our Characters Suck, But We Are Freakin' Pro At This Game Anyway."
- Steeler is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
- Steeler is not Caucasian.
- Steeler was once known as "Steeler36 from Nintendo NSider!" on SmashBoards. Naturally, he "did some favors" and eventually changed his screen name to simply "Steeler".
- In singles tournament play, Steeler has only used a non-Pokemon Trainer character three times.
- When playing as characters other than Pokemon Trainer, Steeler is known to complain that it is unnatural that he doesn't transform into another character after losing a stock.
- Steeler mains Pokemon Trainer due to Squirtle's inclusion as a playable character. Years before Pokemon Trainer was announced as a playable character, Steeler's number one wish for Smash Bros. roster inclusion was Squirtle.
- Steeler once played competitive Pokemon on the Pokemon NetBattle battle simulator.
