ESAM is aSmash player from Miami, Florida who is considered one of the most recognizablePikachu players in all ofSmash. He is also a notablecommentator and content creator, a member of theSmash Back Room, a former member of theUnity Ruleset Committee, and a formertournament organizer, having previously hosted the Zero Ping series.

ESAM began competing inSuper Smash Bros. Melee playingSamus but became better known for his career inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, where he initially playedPikachu before becoming a Pikachu andIce Climbers co-main. He was considered the greatest Pikachu player of all time and one of the best Ice Climbers players in the world inBrawl's later years. He broke out onto the scene after placing 4th atMLG Orlando 2010 and has since placed top 8 at several other major events. He was considered one of the best players inBrawl in the game's final years, ranking 6th on theSSBBRank 2014. In addition, hisMelee career also took off during this time, and he would be ranked on theSSBMRank across four different years. He also competed inProject M for a few years playingSamus, and was one of the best Samus players in the world in 2014.

InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, ESAM continued to playPikachu, and was also considered the greatest Pikachu player of all time in the game. He was a major advocate for Pikachu's viability as a top tier, and was able to showcase Pikachu's strengths by finishing top 8 at many majors during hisSmash 4 career, including placing 2nd atSuper Smash Con 2015 andThe Big House 8, the closest a Pikachu player came to winning a major. In addition to his Pikachu, he also had aSamus secondary, which he used to winCombo Breaker 2017 and infamously eliminateAlly at2GGC: Civil War. He was ranked on everyPGR ranking, and was ultimately ranked 17th on thePGR 100.

In a similar vein to hisSmash 4 career, ESAM playedPikachu inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate and was the best Pikachu player in the early metagame, becoming a major advocate for Pikachu being one of the best characters in the game. He became the first Pikachu player to win a major, doing so atGlitch 7 - Minus World, and is the only Pikachu player with more than one major win, having also wonGlitch 8.5 - Konami Code. At his peak, he was ranked 14th on both theFall 2019 PGRU and theOrionRank 2019. He became significantly less active in the post-pandemic metagame and eventually picked upMii Brawler as a co-main. Though his results have since been matched byShinyMark, he is still considered one of the greatest Pikachu players of all time.

ESAM regularly teams withMVD indoubles, and the pair are considered one of the best doubles teams in the world. They formerly lived in the same city inOklahoma and regularly practiced against each other.

On June 24th, 2015, alongside MVD andSS, ESAM was signed byPanda.^[1] ESAM left the team after over 7 years, on January 15th, 2023.^[2] On March 31st, 2023, ESAM was signed by26 Rising.^[3] His contract would end 3 months later on July 1st, 2023.^[4]

Best Pikachu returns[edit]

Prior to the release ofUltimate, ESAM was already hyping upPikachu's potential in the new game, noting the new combos the character could perform thanks to its new neutral air. ESAM proved his opinions right atDon't Park on the Grass 2018, where he placed 2nd out of over 500 players and falling only toMVD.

Sticking with Pikachu, ESAM began the firstUltimate season with a strong 7th place finish atGENESIS 6, defeatingAlly andTweek along the way. This, however, initially seemed as an outlier: despite consistently placing top 8 at a regional level during that season, including winningBattle of BC 3 over Ally, ESAM saw mediocre results on a national level, placing 65th atFrostbite 2019, 33rd at2GG: Prime Saga, and 25th atPound 2019. He also struggled against thePeach matchup and notably lost two sets against the up-and-coming Peach playerMuteAce. Both his results and his struggle against Peach, however, did not deter ESAM, and he continued to lab Pikachu to try and bring out its true potential. This potential was shown atGet On My Level 2019, where ESAM ran through Ally,Cosmos,Nairo, and evenMkLeo to ultimately place 3rd, his best tournament run of the season. ESAM capped off the first season with a 9th place atCEO 2019, where he finally overcame the Peach matchup by defeating MuteAce. Due to these performances and wins, ESAM was ranked 16th on theSpring 2019 PGRU.

ESAM's second season was somewhat similar to his first. ESAM's result once again saw several dips as he underperformed at bothLow Tier City 7 andEVO 2019, losing to players who weren't ranked on the PGR at that time. His performances at other supermajors such asSuper Smash Con 2019 andShine 2019 were solid; however, it was because of relatively easy brackets, and he failed to make any notable upsets.

Despite these setbacks, however, ESAM ended up seeing his best season yet, largely due to his performances at bothGlitch 7 - Minus World andSmash Ultimate Summit 2. At Glitch 7, ESAM tore through the entire tournament, defeating Nairo, Tweek, and Light twice to win the tournament, marking his first victory at a major tournament. At Summit, ESAM once again defeated MkLeo as well asDabuz andZackray, but fell to his bracket demons MuteAce andMaister to place 5th. These results, as well as his victory at the Canadian regionalRising Stars at EGLX 2019, once again cemented him as a top 20 player, and he rose two spots on theFall 2019 PGRU, placing 14th.

Coming off of a rather inconsistent season, ESAM began the third season looking better than ever, placing 3rd atGlitch 8 - Missingno and 4th atGENESIS 7. The season, however, was cut short due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, which brought tournament play online for a full year. This did not hinder ESAM, as his character was largely unaffected in the online metagame. Although underperforming atThe Quarantine Series Opening Invitational, he placed 9th atthe next Quarantine Series tournament, defeatingKola. His final, and best, notable placement was atThe Box, where despite being upset by Gos, he made a grueling Loser's run, defeatingSparg0 andEpic_Gabriel along the way, to ultimately place 4th. These results allowed him to be ranked 14th on theWi-Fi Warrior Rank v5, mirroring his Fall 2019 PGRU placement.

Although ESAM was rather inactive at WWR-ranked tournaments in the following season, he returned during the seventh season, mostly to participate in online tournament circuits. He qualified forThe Pandemic Anniversary Series by winning the second qualifier,Return to Subspace: ONLINE, overCapitancito, and saw another top 8 placement at the fourth qualifier,Collision Online 2021. He then qualified for theSWT: NA East Ultimate Regional Finals by placing 2nd atSWT: NA Southeast Ultimate Online Qualifier, losing toVendetta twice. His final notable tournament of the online era was atPandemic Anniversary Series: Finale, where he once again placed top 8. Although he did not attend that many tournaments, ESAM's results at the notable tournaments he did attend helped him be ranked 18th on theWi-Fi Warrior Rank v7.

Brief contender for the best[edit]

ESAM was absent during the first few months of the metagame's transition back to offline. When he returned, however, he returned with a bang. AtGlitch 8.5 - Konami Code, ESAM defied expectations by once again tearing through the bracket in a similar vein to his Glitch 7 run; however, this time, he also defeatedMkLeo twice - both times in the fourth game - to win the tournament, marking his second major victory. Following this run, many players began to consider ESAM as a potential candidate for the best player in the world, especially since many players in the United States also considered Pikachu to be one of the best characters in the game.

Ultimately, however, ESAM fell short of these expectations, as he failed to come close to the run he had at Glitch 8.5. Despite being seeded first atSuper Smash Con: Fall Fest, he fell short significantly by losing toApolloKage andIcyMist to place 17th. Although he came out of Round Robin on the winner's side atSWT: NA East Ultimate Regional Finals, he fell toKola andWrath to place 7th, failing to qualify for thechampionship tournament. His final two tournaments -Mainstage 2021 andCEO 2021 - also ended in disappointment: despite placing top 16 at both tournaments, he failed to make any notable upsets. These placements dashed away any hopes for ESAM to be the best player in the post-pandemic metagame, and by the end of the year, he was ranked in the A-tier (or top 13) on thePGRUContenders North America - below other players who had won major tournaments that season such asLight and Kola - and 18th in the world on theOrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse.

Decline[edit]

The first half of ESAM's 2022 was rather uneventful, as he only attended 3 notable tournaments:GENESIS 8,Combo Breaker 2022, andBattle of BC 4. He only had a single top 50 win --Tweek at GENESIS -- and failed to place top 8 at any of the three tournaments. Due to his low activity, he was relegated to an Honorable Mention on theOrionRank Mid-Year 2022, with his Combo Breaker 2022 result being ignored due to his perceived "sandbagging" with his new secondaryMii Brawler throughout most of the tournament,^[5] and was ranked 35th on thePGRU v3 NA, a significant drop from his top 13 placement on the PGRContenders list. Likewise, his second half was also barren as he attended a total of four notable events with mixed results: although he placed well atShine 2022 andLost Tech City 2022, defeatingMuteAce in the latter event, he placed lukewarmly atThe Big House 10 andDreamHack Atlanta 2022. In spite of the low activity, ESAM had enough events to be ranked on theOrionRank 2022; however, due to an overall mediocre season, he was only ranked 82nd.

ESAM's OrionRank 2022 placement remains the last time he was ever ranked on a global scale, in part due to his lower activity at a national level and worse results than previous years. Throughout 2023, he attended a total of seven events, placing no higher than 33rd at the four majors he attended while also underperforming at the superregionalSanta Paws, with his only top 100 player win beingBeastModePaul. In addition, for the first time ever, his title as the best Pikachu player was challenged and even taken away from him, due to the rise ofShinyMark throughout 2023 and into 2024, who eventually replaced ESAM as Pikachu's primary top-level representative.

Playstyle[edit]

ESAM is characterized for heavy aggression, with the ability to quickly switch into a campy and defensive playstyle. He is also known for his prowess inedge guarding andcombo game with Pikachu, who he has mained across most of theSmash titles.

In neutral, ESAM plays aggressively due to the plethora of quick and safe options that often lead into a combo, which he will take to the furthest hit. His movement is also exemplary and improved upon in Smash 4 usingBidou, with emphasis onperfect pivoting andQuick Attack canceling. This, along with his aggressiveness, allows him to continously pressure his opponent and force them offstage to where, with Pikachu's many options, he will edgeguard them and attempt to take their stock. However, if he cannot play aggressively, usually against players that can counter his aggression or stall the match to their pace, he can play campy and spammy, utilizing Pikachu'sThunder Jolt to limit his opponents options and force them to approach.However, this limits himself as well as he cannot utilize his aggression to full potential resulting in him being suppressed and unable to take back control of the match. When he cannot find an opening or cannot edgeguard, ESAMlacks the ability to find a way back into the match unless he regains the momentum to quickly fight back.His edge guarding and edge trapping ability is phenomenal especially against characters with weak or lackluster recoveries. He utilizesThunder to limit his opponent's options and Pikachu's quick multi-hit aerials to cover large spaces to where the opponent is continuously forced stage. Now, inUltimate, with the inclusion of Pikachu'sdown airspike, ESAM has another option to finish off an opponent.

Controversies[edit]

Hypocrisy allegations[edit]

ESAM has made several statements in the past deemed hypocritical by numerous members of theSmash community. On July 16th, 2020,Technicals would make a video about ESAM describing some of these instances[1].

Throughout the years 2012 to 2014, ESAM would say multiple racial slurs on websites such as Smashboards and onNAKAT's stream[2]. One of the comments, "go boxing ring", has since become a meme in the community. Since then, however, ESAM has harassed multiple people for doing similar acts. This includes Bocchi, who was 15 when she said slurs, whereas ESAM was 22. ESAM also notably called for people to harassKiyarash over a screenshot of someone using his username to say multiple slurs. In the past, he had done the same thing toFOW andMJG when false allegations were made about them. After the Kiyarash incident, ESAM then made a tweet criticizing otherSmash players for "supporting cancel culture" and for trying to actively harm someone's image despite his previous actions[3].

ESAM would eventually make a video called "Accountability" apologizing for his actions[4]. He would also make a Twitter thread where he would apologize to MJG and FOW for promoting the false claims made about them. This section, in particular, was criticized heavily as ESAM also mentioned that he will keep believing every victim who makes a story[5].

On November 17th, 2020, ESAM would reply toEpic_Gabriel, sending an extremely vulgar Tweet in response to him winning an offline local during a pandemic.[6] After Tweeting this, he received a huge amount of backlash for "being too harsh" on Gabe and for not saying anything when his brotherNickRiddle was also attending locals during the pandemic.

Libel allegations[edit]

On August 14th, 2011, ESAM would come out againstMew2King claiming that he should be banned while spreading rumors about him masturbating to hentai on random people's beds[7]. Mew2King would later confirm that ESAM's allegations were false due to health conditions which made it impossible for him to perform said actions[8].

On July 2nd, 2020, amidst awave of sexual harassment allegations in the community and whileD1 was under scrutiny for his conduct with KTDominate, ESAM posted his side of the story, where he talked about how he had denounced D1's actions and refused to forgive him until KTDominate did, which took place years after the incident.^[6] In July 2021, however,D1 releaseda statement via Medium, as well asa video version onYouTube, to address the allegations against him, this time with more context and evidence for his side of the story. One of the screenshots provided was a conversation with ESAM in 2017, where ESAM conceded that he knew D1 didn't have any malicious intention, contradicting what ESAM had said a year prior.^[7]

Trivia[edit]

• ESAM isNickRiddle's younger brother.
• In ESAM'sYouTube video "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Why Samus?", he explains that his tag comes from a combination of his name "Eric" and "Samus" sinceSamus was the first character he mained inMelee and is one of his favorite video game characters. When ESAM was around the age of 5, he used to bond with his father by watching him play Super Metroid, which birthed his love for both the Metroid series and Samus.
• ESAM is also a topDivekick player, and he won theDivekick event atCEO 2014.
• ESAM is the subject of a number of memes within theSmash community in reference to his bald head; he has sometimes gone by the alias "Mr. Clean", and it is common for spectators in tournament streams to point out his presence by merely mentioning that "ESAM is bald".
• Due to his attitude and tendency to immerse himself in drama, ESAM is seen as a controversial figure in the Smash community. He is well noted for starting confrontations with other players in social media, and for having questionable or unpopular opinions, particularly his insistence onPikachu being one of the best characters inSmash 4. The latter point has also started a meme in theSmash community as "#ESAMOpinions", being used to refer to any stance that is not widely shared.
  • Ironically enough, he sometimes uses said hashtag to denote how his opinion might not be widely shared in its entirety.
  • He also has a noted tendency to have his opinions be reversed on him, especially in regards to his opinions on characters.^[8]
• ESAM is the most prominent user of theBidou control scheme inSmash 4; however, since he does not use Bidou for any character other than Pikachu, this sometimes causes him to have multiple control schemes in tournament, especially when controlling other characters such asSamus.
• ESAM is a member of a YouTube channel called Games Over Easy, where he plays games alongside fellow smash professional MVD.^[9] As of December 2018, the channel has not uploaded any videos sinceUltimate's release.
• On April 19th, 2019, ESAM infamously lost a $500 money match againstSamsora atPound 2019, with Samsora winning 10-1 and both competitors subsequently joking about the match together onTwitter.
  • In the singles bracket at the same tournament, he lost toMuteAce 1-2 in Winners and lost toLingLing 2-3 in Losers, meaning he lost 15 total games to Peach at one tournament.
