Nyani is an American smasher and streamer from New Jersey. While she began competitive play in the early days of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, she began to improve most noticeably in the 3.02 release of Project M.

Background

Nyani began playing Smash competitively upon the release of Brawl, maining Mario. She primarily played with Inui, as they attended the same college, and attended Montage's series of local tournaments. Due to her favorite character having generally poor matchups, and the pressure of competing with the top-level players that New Jersey was home to at the time, she grew frustrated with the game and retired for a few years.

Nyani reappeared in 2014 as a Zero Suit Samus player in Project M 3.02. Shortly thereafter she met with Chibo and became a staff member with CLASH Tournaments.

She primarily competes in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where she mains Mario, and is notable for her use of his F.L.U.D.D. and overall knowledge of the character.

A testimonial[1] written by Nyani supporting and introducing allegations of harassment and abuse by Alex Strife was influential in increasing public pressure upon him to step down as TO of Apex 2015.
