Fatality is a Smasher fromGeorgia, known for being one of the greatest and most influentialCaptain Falcon players across two differentSmash titles.

Fatality's career began inProject M, where he was considered one of the bestCaptain Falcon players in 2014. He later received nationally recognition for his performances withCaptain Falcon inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, especially after his breakout performance atSuper Smash Con 2015. Throughout the game's competitive history, Fatality was the only Captain Falcon player to consistently succeed at the highest level of competitive play, with several top 8 major finishes under his belt, most notably his 2nd-place finish at2GGC: Civil War. He was ranked on every iteration of thePGR and was eventually ranked 19th on thePGR 100 as the sole Captain Falcon player on the rankings. Due to these achievements, Fatality is widely considered the greatestSmash 4 Captain Falcon player of all time.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Fatality continued to playCaptain Falcon in spite of the character's nerfs. Despite some inconsistenty, he remained the most successful Captain Falcon player inUltimate's early metagame, placing top 8 at several superregionals in the first half of the metagame and eventually ranking 48th on theSpring 2019 PGRU. After numerous buffs to Captain Falcon in balance patches, Fatality's results improved, culminating in several notable performances in the early years of the post-pandemic metagame, which includes top 8 finishes atCEO 2021 andLet's Make Big Moves 2022, and him ranking 33rd on theOrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse. Though his results have since been matched by other Captain Falcon players, thanks to his long-term success with the character, Fatality is still considered one of the greatestUltimate Captain Falcon players of all time, as well as the greatest to come from North America.

Tournament history[edit]

Project M years[edit]

Fatality began actively competing inProject M tournaments in late 2013. Even before his dominance with the character inSmash 4 andUltimate, he was considered one of the bestCaptain Falcon players in the United States. His first tournament was atTipped Off 9 where he placed 5th, losing toPPMD andPlup. His next notable tournaments were 7th place at bothTipped Off 10 andParagon Orlando 2015, with notable set wins overLucky,MVD,Shroomed. Fatality switched his focus toSmash 4 upon the game's release; his last appearance at aProject M tournament wasS@X 158 on July 13th, 2016.

Smash 4: National debut[edit]

During the first year ofSmash 4, Fatality took 1st place at many locals, but struggled to get strong placements at larger events. He finally found his first national success atCEO 2015, where he defeated6WX andDay en route to a 17th place finish. Although he followed it up with a 65th place finish atEVO 2015, his lowest placement in aSmash 4 tournament, he finally had his breakout tournament atSuper Smash Con 2015, where he notably defeatedDabuz before falling toZeRo andNairo to place 4th. He followed this strong performance with a slew of top 24 placement at national-level tournaments, as well as victories over top players such asMr. E,Pink Fresh, andNietono. With these strong results at national-level tournaments, many players considered Fatality to be the best Captain Falcon player in the world, a title that was proven when he was ranked 41st on thePGR v1, 9 places ahead of the only other Captain Falcon player,Tearbear.

Fatality started the second season with a few solid placements, with a 9th place finish atMomoCon 2016 and 17th atCEO 2016. However, he wouldn't see his best placements of the season until a few months later. AtSuper Smash Con 2016, Fatality defeatedMarss en route to a 7th place finish. Although Fatality fell toSamsora early atThe Big House 6, he made a Loser's run, winning his rematch against Samsora as well as defeating an up-and-comingCosmos and the Japanese hidden bossRi-ma before falling to Marss, placing 9th. Although he ended off his season on a slightly weaker note, with a 33rd place finish atUGC Smash Open and a 13th place finish at2GGT: ZeRo Saga, his overall solid placements during the middle of his season helped him rise to 28th on thePGR v2.

Fatality's best season[edit]

Despite these impressive results, Fatality's best season was yet to come, although it did not look like it at first. On the surface, his third season looked lukewarm: he consistently placed no better than 17th at nationals, and only defeated a couple of notable PGR-ranked players. Conversely, he fell to several PGR'd players as well as a couple hidden bosses such asSomé andDog w/ Hips. Even regionally, he struggled againstScAtt, who stole victory from Fatality at two tournaments -Final Round 20 andTupelo Titans Throwdown.

However, these lukewarm results were countered by some of his best performances ever. At2GGC: Civil War, the largest tournament of the season, despite the many top player upsets that took place, Fatality not only managed to mostly avoid being upset, but also made some of his own upsets, including overkomorikiri,Nairo, andCaptainZack. Although he fell toT, he was able to get his runback in Loser's Finals, but ultimately fell toDabuz, placing 2nd. In addition, atMomoCon 2017, although he fell toLarry Lurr early in bracket, he made the best Loser's run of hisSmash 4 career, winning his runback against Larry Lurr as well as defeatingSalem, Kameme, and even ZeRo, before losing to Nairo for 2nd. These two placements prove that on a good day, Fatality was a force to be reckoned with, and by the end of the season he jumped all the way to 15th.

A period of inconsistency[edit]

Unfortunately, he did not see any of these explosive performances in the fourth season. Once again, he failed to place higher than 17th at any major tournament and consistently fell to other PGR players. At the2GG Championship, he was only able to win one game - againstElegant, and ultimately placed 15th. Even at lower-ranked tournaments Fatality fell to unranked players such asSuperGirlKels andKresent. His season was saved by a couple of good wins as well as his victory atShowdown: Battle Royale 2, but he ultimately fell to 38th, his worst season since the first.

Fortunately, Fatality was able to pull himself together for the fifth season. Despite a characteristic 17th place atGENESIS 5, he followed it up with his first top 8 at a major since MomoCon 2017 -Frostbite 2018 - where he ran through Salem and Cosmos to place 5th. His next notable placement came a month later atSmash Masters League: Battle for Vegas, where despite falling toVoiD early on, he once again made an impressive Loser's run, defeating Ally, Salem, Larry Lurr, and Cosmos before falling toMkLeo for 4th. Although the rest of the season saw a series of high and low points - from a disappointing 25th place finish atGet On My Level 2018 to yet another respectable Loser's run atCEO 2018 - these two tournaments showed that Fatality could compete against the scene's newest players, and by the end of the season, Fatality jumped back into the top 15, placing 14th.

With the nextSmash game on the horizon, Fatality prepared to make the transition to the new game, which resulted in a rather characteristic season, where he placed outside of the top 8 at the final 2 majors he attended and failed to pick up any notable PGR wins. Despite this weak ending, his highs highlighted hisSmash 4 career, and the panel-basedPGR 100 ranked him asSmash 4's 19th best player.

Ultimate: A rough start[edit]

During the transition fromSmash 4, Captain Falcon received changes that made the character harder to play, resulting in a smaller playerbase than what the character saw inSmash 4. Despite this, Fatality continued to stick with the character and pioneered the character's metagame. Unfortunately, this effort didn't seem to pay off at the start, as during the first season, Fatality saw some of his worst performances ever. Similar to most seasons, he once again placed no higher than 17th at majors, while he placed 65th atGENESIS 6, falling toMkLeo andCaptain L, and 97th atPound 2019, falling toSciFire andLemon. His season was saved by his regional performances, specifically his top 6 finishes atSmashpoint,Just Roll With It! 11, and2GG: Grand Tour - South Carolina, tournaments where he saw a win over a PGR player. Due to a more lenient algorithm for the first season, these regional performances were enough for Fatality to be ranked 48th on thefirst PGRU.

However, the new algorithm was not lenient on him for the second season, which was by far Fatality's worst season yet. He only placed higher than 17th at one PGR-ranked tournament - his 9th place finish atSyndicate 2019 - and only garnered one PGR win - overKola. Conversely, Fatality placed 129th atEVO 2019 - his worst performance up to that point - and consistently lost to non-PGR players such asBeastly atLow Tier City 7,Monty atThe Big House 9, andFlow at both EVO 2019 and Syndicate 2019. Due to the slew of mediocre performances and unranked losses, Fatality was absent from theFall 2019 PGRU, his first absence from a PGR list, while some people began casting doubt on Fatality's title as the best Captain Falcon player due to strong, albeit limited, major results fromNickC.

Online era and resurgence[edit]

This poor season, however, did not deter Fatality, and he went into the third season hoping for something better, and initially, it looked like it was going in Fatality's favor. At his first major,Glitch 8 - Missingno, Fatality managed to place just outside of the top 8 while defeatingLeoN, his best win since the first season. Although he had a mediocreFrostbite 2020, he was able to place top 8 atClash Of The Carolinas III, his first top 8 at a PGR tournament since 2GG: Grand Tour - South Carolina nearly a year before.

Unfortunately, the season was cut short after theCOVID-19 pandemic shut down the offline metagame, and Fatality moved into the growing online metagame. However, Fatality's transition to the online metagame was rough, as throughout the next year, he failed to place higher than 49th at almost all of the major online tournaments he attended. However, he saw a glimpse of success atUltimate Naifu Wars 12, where he ran throughScend,Middy, andMkLeo to place 3rd. This performance greatly helped him that online season, and he was ranked 61st on theWi-Fi Warrior Rank v5.

During the online metagame, Captain Falcon received several buffs that addressed several of the character's problems, and Fatality capitalized on the buffs as he labbed the character. While it did not pay off during the online metagame, it was about to make him a threat once the offline metagame returned. AtInfinityCON Tally 2021, the first national tournament sinceCEO Dreamland 2020, Fatality was able to show that he still had it in him by placing 5th, defeating the rising starsGrayson andEpic_Gabriel along the way. This tournament was only a taste of what Fatality could do, and at the next few majors he attended, he ended up placing nolower than 17th. This performance was hindered by the fact that he only defeated a couple of notable players during this time, as well as a mediocre 33rd atMainstage. However, Fatality followed this with his bestUltimate run yet atCEO 2021, where despite falling toToast early in bracket, he made his first ever Loser's run inUltimate, defeating the rising starJake and veteran playersWaDi,ESAM, andMVD, en route to a 4th place finish. This performance, as well as consistently high placements at majors, helped put Fatality back on the map, and he was placed in the B-tier, or top 24, on thePGRUContenders North America, as well as 33rd on theOrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse.

With his strongestUltimate season behind him, Fatality was looking better than ever in 2022, and he was able to continue his strong performances in the first season by placing top 24 at every major he attended exceptGENESIS 8. This time, he was able to garner some notable wins at each tournament:Anathema andNed atLet's Make Big Moves 2022,Riddles andWaDi atGlitch - Infinite, andProtoBanham atSmash Ultimate Summit 4. However, his season was not without downsides, which while not terrible, certainly affected his final standings for the season. Despite defeating ProtoBanham, he failed to win any other set at Summit and ended up placing 13th. His remaining majors, while solid, were also largely empty brackets as the only national-level win he got during these tournaments wasWrath, a player who had only attended a handful of tournaments that season and thus was ultimately not ranked on most global rankings. Due to a rather empty second half of the season, Fatality didn't make any notable improvements on the global rankings, maintaining his 33rd place ranking on theOrionRank Mid-Year 2022 and dropping out of the top 24 to 37th on thePGRU v3 NA.

His second half of the year was largely the same: although he still placed highly at most majors, most of his runs were rather empty, and he only picked up a few solid wins. His strongest performances were at the supermajorsSuper Smash Con 2022 andLet's Make Moves Miami, where he placed 13th at both tournaments and defeated players such asCosmos,BassMage, andApolloKage. Conversely, his season was brought down by some lukewarm performances such as 65th atDouble Down 2022 after losing toGoblin andRyuKai and 9th at the super regionalBOSS BATTLES: Phase 1 after losing toLucretio andSandro. His strong highs but disappointing lows led to his 46th place ranking on the inauguralUltRank 2022, a ranking that roughly covered the second half of the year; however, his strong major placements kept him from slipping too much on OrionRank, as he only dropped four places to 37th on theOrionRank 2022.

Initial retirement and return[edit]

Despite having a successful two years, Fatality's motivation for the game had been declining as he began losing interest in competition. This was the most apparent in the new year, in which despite having a respectable 13th place finish atMomoCon 2023, saw Fatality's worst performances of his career, as he failed to place top 32 at a single major. This included going 1-2 atMaesuma TOP 12 after losing toHamachi andRumiru to get 257th, his worst placement ever, and placing 193rd atSuper Smash Con 2023, losing toCreepooba andSkew. In addition, the year saw another Captain Falcon player finally overtake Fatality, asJogibu's strong performances at majors landed him at 25th on theLumiRank Mid-Year 2023; conversely, Fatality was left unranked for the first time since theFall 2019 PGRU. All of these factors ultimately reinforced Fatality's decision to retire, which he did so following Super Smash Con 2023, in favor of focusing on the newly-releasedStreet Fighter 6.[1].

For the next year and a half, Fatality largely stayed outside of competitiveUltimate, aside from a couple of doubles events andDreamHack Atlanta 2024. His motivation eventually returned, and after competing atBattle of BC 7, Fatality announced his return to competitive play.[2] He further saw a return to form at other supermajors such asMomoCon 2025 andS Factor 12, notably defeatingNeo at the latter tournament.

Playstyle[edit]

Fatality implements heavy usage ofdash-dancing, utilizing it forspacing,mind games, andapproaches. He is known for his simultaneously flashy and incredibly devastatingpunish game,zero-to-death combos, and impressive off-stage proficiency, notably his prowess at getting back on stage with arecovery as intercept-able as Captain Falcon's. In order to KO his opponents (often times at very early percents) Fatality incorporates air dodgereads and a myriad of kill set-ups, all with style. He is also reputable for his consistent usage offootstool combos.

Trivia[edit]

  • Fatality always takes a brief respite before and after each round to compose himself. He will also sometimes exercise in preparation.
  • Though Fatality was generally considered the best Captain Falcon player in the world for bothSmash 4 andUltimate, his record in themirror match is less than exemplary:
  • Fatality has a tendency to underperform atEVO tournaments, placing 65th atEVO 2015 and 129th atEVO 2019.
  • After winning the Best Combo (Wii U) award atSuper Smash Con 2017's Smashies Award Show, Fatality mentionedIsai 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.[3]
  • The tag 'Bunny' which he often uses in Tournaments is the name of one of his cats.
  • Fatality,NickC, andOgey, who are some of the best Captain Falcon players inUltimate, all use the same redalternate costume, also known as theBlood Falcon.
  • Fatality is known for having a secondary crisis, failing to have one to cover badmatchups for Captain Falcon. He tried outMeta Knight,Mario,Corrin, and evenJigglypuff inSmash 4, andLink,Chrom,Terry,Mario,Pyra,Mythra,Ike andKazuya inUltimate, but ended up dropping all of them.
  • Fatality has a tendency of overextending onedgeguards andself-destructing because of it.
