Mekos is a Lucas main from North Carolina, considered the best Lucas player in the United States. Mekos is known for his excellent control over Lucas's mobility, and usage of PK Fire, jab and aerials to space against opponents, as well as using the Rope Snake to cancel Lucas's landing lag after aerials or empty jumps. He is known to play a very deadly spacing game, making the most of each of Lucas's moves's range to both edgeguard and put on pressure.

Mekos is a notoriously vocal proponent of doubles play, considering it superior to singles play. He often preaches about the necessity of true team work and team spacing in doubles, while denouncing the "separate 1v1 battles" that often occur when those inexperienced in doubles team up. Despite some seeing him as overly vocal about the issue, Mekos is considered to be one of the top doubles players in the States.

Despite preferring and often doing better in doubles, Mekos usually places wells in singles, especially for using a low tier character. His breakout performance came at SKTAR, where he defeated top Falco Pelca, defeated one of the best Meta Knights in the world in Tyrant, and defeating one of the best European and Wario players in Glutonny, before losing to Trela in Winners quarter finals, and losing to Tyrant in losers, overall securing a 9th placing (the highest a player placed with a low tier in a national tournament since San got 9th with the then low tier Ike at Apex 2010).

Mekos is currently ranked 1st on the Carolina Brawl Power Rankings, ESAM being ranked at the 0 position right above him.
