PC Chris is a smasher from New York. He received minor television coverage in "True Life: I'm A Professional Gamer". The "PC" part of his name comes from his location, Port Chester. He is currently ranked fourth on both the National Power Rankings and the North Atlantic Regional Power Rankings. He defeated world champion Ken at MLG's Season Opener of 2006.
He was a common competitor in MLG tournaments, and always performed very well, and finishing, if not in first place, very close to it.
PC Chris spent years in a semi-retired state; while he still participated in several national tournaments and usually made it into the bracket, his results were not nearly as notable as they once were. PC Chris returned to the Melee scene in May 2014 at the event Justice 3, with this being confirmed towards the end of said event's trailer. He placed 17th in Melee singles at the event.
Trivia
- PC Chris is the smasher that has received the biggest prize check in a Melee tournament ever (MLG Las Vegas: Championship – 1st place $10,000).
- He was the subject of a parodying website, in which he was declared the greatest person in the world.
- Coupled with exuberant commentary, the MLG video of PC's round 3 win over Ken in the 2006 New York Finals is widely considered to be one of the best Melee matches to be recorded. [1]
