Summary: |

Summary: |
Quebec has been playing Melee since the olden days, and Bam is one of the region’s original titans. His main has always been Falco, but he prefers Fox in Doubles. He seldom attends tournaments even within East Coast Canada, but places well whenever he does, including his recent 17th at Apex 2013. Also, he kind of looks like a male model. |

Summary: |
Remaining largely out of the spotlight until recent Zoso is without a doubt one of New England’s strongest players. Beginning as a C.Falcon in 2004 you will now see him playing a mix of Sheik, Marth, and Fox. His skill with each character alongside his fundamental understanding of fighting games makes him a very dangerous player. Most recently he defeated KoreanDJ in grand finals of one of Boston’s Game Over events. |

Summary: |
Blunted Object, a long-standing melee veteran, still gets placed under the radar at every national he enters. He has had strong recent wins against S2J and SFAT, showing that he is not to be underestimated. His unorthodox Falco utilizes forward smashes and delayed aerials to trick his opponents and find unique openings for devastating combos. |

Summary: |
Swedish Delight is a player from Holmdel, New Jersey who has risen in the Tri-State ranks very quickly over the past year. His main traning partner is his brother, Mr. F, who plays Jigglypuff. Swedish Delight now has one of the best Sheiks in the Tri-State area, and plays at an alarmingly high level compared to when he started in 2011. |

Summary: |
Darrell has been around in Norcal for several years, but it is only over the past year or two that he has begun to come into his own. Emphasizing his punish game over all else, Darrell’s drive led him to develop combos no Samus before him had ever come close to performing. His hard hitting style has gained him traction among the ranks of the West Coast up and comers, where he continues to ascend. |

One of the rising stars on the East Coast, The Moon has a very unique style of Marth that confuses many of his opponents. Starting as a new player under DJ Nintendo, his mindset and consistency in placing has allowed him to climb the ranks of players very quickly in the last two years. |
