Rudolph (ルドルフ) is a Japanese Melee Marth main with Fox and Sheik as secondaries. He was ranked 7th on the Winter 2014 Japanese Melee Power Rankings, and is currently ranked 52nd on the 2016 SSBMRank.
His first major international appearance was during 2015, where he went on on a trip across the United States and played at various major tournaments including Pax Prime 2015, Paragon Los Angeles 2015, HTC Throwdown, and The Big House 5, and managed to place decently at each of them. In 2016, Rudolph earned a round trip to The Big House 6 by winning a Master Hand qualifier in Japan beating S-Royal, Zoma, and Shippu in his march to victory. At the Big House 6 he cruised through his round 1 pool without dropping a game. In round 2 pools he beat ORLY 2-1 and upset DruggedFox 2-0 to reach top 64. In bracket he lost to Ice 1-2 and Android 0-2 to receive 33rd place.
