The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Vinnie is an Ice Climbers main from Long Island, New York. Vinnie was originally known as PGN or 1337PGN back when he first started entering tournaments. He is currently ranked 4th and 5th on the New York Smash 4 Power Rankings and Tristate Brawl Power Rankings, respectively. In 2012, Vinnie traveled to Japan for an international tournament, Sun Rise Tournament, where he took Grand Finals to last game of the last set, barely losing to RAIN. He is considered to be one of the best Ice Climbers in the world along with 9B, Nakat, and ESAM, and is also considered to be the top Mr. Game & Watch. Vinnie is sponsored by Team iQHQ. Vinnie generally uses the word "Viva!" as his in-game tag (for VivaTheSaturn a fellow friend/Game and Watch main).
Additionally, Vinnie is one of the few players to have taken a set off of ZeRo, managing to defeat a combination of ZeRo's Sheik and Diddy Kong 3-2 in the first set of grand finals at PAX Prime 2015 (although ZeRo ended up winning the second set 3-1 using Diddy Kong).
He confirmed on January 2nd, 2016 that he will be quitting Smash 4, and that TGC 6 will be his last major Smash 4 tournament, but will still be attending locals. However, on April 13th, 2016, he claimed he would return to competing in Smash 4 again.
