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.

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. 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. He is currently ranked 3rd on the New York Smash 4 Power Rankings and was formerly ranked 5th on the Tristate Brawl Power Rankings.
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).
ANTi's playstyle usually focuses around exploiting the weaknesses of his opponent in the specific character matchup. In Brawl, he likes to utilize 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. In SSB4, ANTi has great mastery and creativity with Mario's combo game; while his punish game is not as deadly as fellow Mario main Zenyou, he is very well known for his consistency when leading Mario's moves into the other, and is often regarded as the most technical Mario main in Smash 4, though he sometimes has more trouble when KOing the opponent unlike fellow Mario main, Ally.
He is reputedly known for having among the best matchup knowledge of all players in Brawl 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 during the Brawl days.
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.
ANTi is a fan of fighting games outside of Smash, and is known to enter Street Fighter events along with Smash events.
He famously defeated Street Fighter player LOWTI3RGOD in a friendly set, (including a perfect round), after the latter announced that no Smash player could ever beat him in Street Fighter. [2]
