Vermanubis is a professional smasher from New Hampshire and currently residing in Oregon, noted for being one of the few pureGanondorf players in competitiveBrawl, and is often considered the best Ganondorf player in the United States, along withDLA. He is known for playing a patient, yet aggressive Ganondorf, with what is considered to be some of the best prediction andperfect shielding skills. He is also known for being capable of utilizing the difficultFlight of Ganon andFlipman techniques in play.

In 2011, Vermanubis moved to Oregon, where, due to the lack of tournaments and general isolation, his tournament activity inSmash became mostly inactive. He continued to enterBrawl tournaments whenever possible, and despite playing significantly less, he still managed to place well.

Vermanubis continued to playGanondorf inSmash 4, becoming perhaps the biggest threat in Idaho when he was active. Verm stayed withGanondorf inUltimate, though withSimon to back up his old main, with Castlevania, one of his favorite game series, finally inSmash.

  • It is commonly joked in the Smash community that Vermanubis is Ganondorf, for imitating the character at tournaments while having what many see to be a resemblance to the character.
  • His tag is a gibberish of consonants to stand out uniquely and is not related to vermin or the ancient Egyptian god Anubis.
  • Vermanubis is a composer of video game music.
