Tournament history[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

Consistency in Japan[edit]

komorikiri is notable for always placing within top 8 at Japanese tournaments while using Sonic, seemingly always running into (and losing to) Ranai whenever they both enter the same tournament. He is partially responsible for Ranai's fame after being double eliminated atKSB 2015. komorikiri would eventually form a static team with Ranai, using Sonic-Villager. He would eventually put his name on the board placing 2nd duringUmebura F.A.T., where he was notably undefeated. He took games off ofEarth,Ally,9B,Kirihara, andChoco before finally being double eliminated by Nairo.

Cloud's Advent[edit]

komorikiri quickly picked up Cloud after he was released and made his international debut at Genesis 3, winning doubles with Ranai, with Cloud-Villager, notably coming on top of a 2v1 against Nairo and ZeRo. He received 17th, losing to Mr.R and Marss. He then received a ranking of 11th on the first version of Panda Global rankings, as a reward for his placings at Genesis 3 and Umebura FAT. Back in Japan, although he now won more tournaments, his placings became more volatile. komorikiri would then be sponsored briefly by Naifu (a crowdfund hosted by Nairo) to enterEVO 2016, unfortunately receiving 17th losing to Dabuz and ZeRo.

Proving Potential[edit]

komorikiri wonSumabato for THE BIG HOUSE over Taiheita, Shuton and Choco, winning a trip to The Big House 6. AtUmebura S.A.T., he lost to Mr R and was upset by Shuton, finishing uncharacteristically at 13th along with fellow smashers Ranai and Abadango. He would then be flown out along with Abadango to2GGT: Abadango Saga where he won doubles with ZeRo and took 5th, defeating Ally. komorikiri then took 3rd atThe Big House 6, defeating previous demons such as Mr R and Nairo, utilising both Sonic and Cloud. Shortly after announcing a 1-year break from school, he was picked up by2GGaming and continues to place consistently both overseas and at home.

Trivia[edit]

• In addition of being one of the bestSmash 4 players, komorikiri is a top player inPokkén Tournament, notably placing 13th out of 1,180 entrants atEVO 2016.
• komorikiri picked up Bayonetta after she was released, won a tournament with her and was considered the best Bayonetta for a month or so until he decided to drop her.
• He is partially responsible for Sumabato'sSmash 4 ruleset regarding Miis, having laid terror to the bracket with fully unlocked Mii Brawler. Sumabato prior authorized full changes of Miis B-moves, but players are now able to change only one B-move out of the four, the rest being sticked to the attack 1. This rule disappeared inUltimate.
• komorikiri is known for having a huge passion for theFire Emblem franchise. His in-game tag is often "Fjorm", from the gameFire Emblem Heroes. He also likes to pull out pocketFire Emblem characters in tournament, such as Marth, Corrin, Roy and Lucina.
