Fatality is an SSB4 Captain Falcon player from Lilburn, Georgia, considered the best Captain Falcon player in the world, and was also considered one of the top PM Captain Falcon players. Fatality is currently ranked 1st on the Georgia Smash 4 Power Rankings and 15th on the Panda Global Rankings v3. He has taken sets off of top players such as ZeRo, Larry Lurr, Dabuz, komorikiri, Nairo, CaptainZack, Salem, and Kirihara.
Fatality earned the reputation as the best Captain Falcon player with his Top 8 placings in both Super Smash Con 2015 and Super Smash Con 2016, in addition to getting Top 16 at 2GGT: ZeRo Saga. However, his best performance yet was at 2GGC: Civil War, where he impressed the crowd with an incredible performance in bracket while solo-maining a character that most people would consider a borderline high-tiered character at best. He ran through players such as Trela, komorikiri, and Nairo among other top players until he was defeated by Dabuz in Grand Finals to end at 2nd place.
On April 17th, 2016, Fatality was signed by True AmBition.[1], and shortly after left the team on August 16th.[2] On October 27th, 2016, he was signed by FlySociety from which he left on April 18th, 2017.[3][4]. On May 18th, Fatality was signed by Team YP.[5]
Playstyle
Fatality implements heavy usage of dash-dancing, utilizing it for spacing, mind games, and approaches. He is known for his heavy punish game, 0-to-K.O. combos, and impressive off-stage proficiency. In order to KO his opponents (often times at very early percents) Fatality incorporates air dodge reads and a myriad of kill set-ups, all with style. He is also reputable for his consistent usage of footstool combos.

Trivia
- Fatality is one of four players to have a tied record against ZeRo (with the others being falln, Seagull Joe and Day, all 1-1).
- Fatality always takes a brief respite before and after each round to compose himself. He will also sometimes exercise in preparation.
- Though Fatality is generally considered the best Captain Falcon player in the world, his record in the mirror match is less than exemplary:
- Against Max Ketchum, he lost 4-5 at EVO 2015 in a best of 5 $100 money match, despite being up 4-1 at one point.
- Against Acid, he lost in a tournament at Tipped Off 11.
- Against ZeRo, he lost in the Falcon round robin at 2GGT: Fatality Saga, and placed 2nd.
- He later defeated him in the ditto in losers finals at MomoCon 2017.
- After winning the Best Combo (Wii U) award at Super Smash Con 2017's Smashies Award Show, Fatality mentioned Isai as the one who inspired him to become a Smasher in the first place, and that he tries to model his own style of gameplay after Isai's. [6]
