Javi is a Mexican smasher who mains Fox. He is the brother of Tuga. He is known for his high level of technical skill, and is considered one of the best Fox players in dittos and against Falco, taking sets off of several famed space animal players in tournament.
Javi is best known for his performance at Apex 2012, which he was able to attend after winning the Ticket To Apex tournament, getting his flight paid for him. At this tournament, he swept through both rounds of pools and made it into the 64 man bracket, where we was knocked into losers' bracket early by Lovage, but managed to defeat Redd, Weon-X, KoreanDJ, VaNz, Lovage in a rematch, Hax, and finally Dr. PeePee before being eliminated by Hungrybox, taking 4th place in singles. He also placed 33rd in doubles with HugS, and participated in the USA vs. The World crew battle as the first player for The World team, though he was taken out by Jman in his first battle.
Javi returned next year to attend Apex 2013, where he placed 13th in singles and 7th in doubles with Aza. In singles, he defeated .jpg, Darkatma, and Leffen in the 128 man bracket before being eliminated by Axe.
After a year and a half of no appearances at major tournaments, Javi attended EVO 2014. In the winners' quarters pools, he defeated Swedish Delight 2-0 before losing to S2J 1-2. He made it into the top 32 by eliminating Mr. Brandandorf, but lost to Eddy Mexico 0-2, placing 25th in singles.
