ANTi is a professional smasher from New York. In Brawl, he mains Meta Knight and seconds Marth and Snake. He is well-known for using a variety of characters at a professional level. He is widely considered among the top five Meta Knight mains in the United States in Brawl, as well as one of the best in the world. Anti is currently ranked 2nd on the New York Smash 4 Power Rankings and was formerly ranked 5th on the Tristate Brawl Power Rankings. In SSB4, he mains Mario and Cloud, and is regarded as one of the best Mario mains in the world (alongside Ally), as well as arguably the most technical Mario main in the world. He is also considered to be a top Cloud player, as well as one of the best SSB4 players in the world. In the 3DS version of the game, he participated in online tournaments and used several characters, and played in the CLASH Invitational, a tournament hosted shortly after the Wii U was launched. While he mainly uses Mario, Anti has several characters that he uses in tournament to counterpick other players.

ANTi is the 8th player to take a tournament set off ZeRo in Smash 4, the 4th to eliminate him, and the 2nd to beat him in a best of 5 without losing a single game (after Mew2King).

Playing style

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Anti's play style focuses around exploiting the weaknesses of his opponent in the specific matchup, as well as utilizing Meta Knight's effective tilt game. He makes special use of the combo forward tilt hit 1 → down tilt → X, where X is either a dash grab, down smash (usually at lower percentages), Mach Tornado, or forward aerial. Anti is reputedly known for having among the best match-up knowledge of all players in the metagame against many characters, such as Olimar and Diddy Kong, to the extent that other top professionals, such as Mew2King and Ally, used to study his matches closely to implement his strategies into their own plans.

Trivia

ANTi's legendary entrance at CEO 2016.
  • ANTi is seen as one of the most brash and charismatic Smashers (as evidenced by his CEO 2016 entrance [1] and popoffs) and is considered something of a troll on social media.
