===''Ultimate''===
====2019====
Prior to the release of ''Ultimate'', ESAM was already hyping up {{SSBU|Pikachu}}'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 at {{Trn|Don't Park on the Grass 2018}}, where he placed 2nd out of over 500 players and falling only to {{Sm|MVD}}.

Sticking with Pikachu, ESAM began the first ''Ultimate'' season with a strong 7th place finish at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, defeating {{Sm|Ally}} and {{Sm|Tweek}} along the way. This, however, initially seemed as an outlier: despite consistently placing top 8 at a regional level during that season, including winning {{Trn|Battle of BC 3}} over Ally, ESAM saw mediocre results on a national level, placing 65th at {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}, 33rd at {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}}, and 25th at {{Trn|Pound 2019}}. He also struggled against the {{SSBU|Peach}} matchup and notably lost two sets against the up-and-coming Peach player {{Sm|MuteAce}}. 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 at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2019}}, where ESAM ran through Ally, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, and even {{Sm|MkLeo}} to ultimately place 3rd, his best tournament run of the season. ESAM capped off the first season with a 9th place at {{Trn|CEO 2019}}, where he finally overcame the Peach matchup by defeating MuteAce. Due to these performances and wins, ESAM was ranked 16th on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]].

ESAM's second season was somewhat similar to his first. ESAM's result once again saw several dips as he underperformed at both {{Trn|Low Tier City 7}} and {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, losing to players who weren't ranked on the PGR at that time. His performances at other supermajors such as {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} and {{Trn|Shine 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 both {{Trn|Glitch 7 - Minus World}} and {{Trn|Smash 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 as {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|Zackray}}, but fell to his bracket demons MuteAce and {{Sm|Maister}} to place 5th. These results, as well as his victory at the Canadian regional {{Trn|Rising Stars at EGLX 2019}}, once again cemented him as a top 20 player, and he rose two spots on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]], placing 14th.

====2020-mid 2021====
Coming off of a rather inconsistent season, ESAM began the third season looking better than ever, placing 3rd at {{Trn|Glitch 8 - Missingno}} and 4th at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. The season, however, was cut short due to the [[COVID-19|COVID-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 at {{Trn|The Quarantine Series Opening Invitational}}, he placed 9th at [[Tournament:The Quarantine Series: Minor Tournament 1|the next Quarantine Series tournament]], defeating {{Sm|Kola}}. His final, and best, notable placement was at {{Trn|The Box}}, where despite being upset by Gos, he made a grueling Loser's run, defeating {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|Epic_Gabriel}} along the way, to ultimately place 4th. These results allowed him to be ranked 14th on the [[Wi-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 for {{Trn|The Pandemic Anniversary Series}} by winning the second qualifier, {{Trn|Return to Subspace: ONLINE}}, over {{Sm|Capitancito}}, and saw another top 8 placement at the fourth qualifier, {{Trn|Collision Online 2021}}. He then qualified for the {{Trn|SWT: NA East Ultimate Regional Finals}} by placing 2nd at {{Trn|SWT: NA Southeast Ultimate Online Qualifier}}, losing to {{Sm|Vendetta}} twice. His final notable tournament of the online era was at {{Trn|Pandemic 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 the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7]].

====2021====
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. At {{Trn|Glitch 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 defeated {{Sm|MkLeo}} 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 at {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}}, he fell short significantly by losing to {{Sm|ApolloKage}} and {{Sm|IcyMist}} to place 17th. Although he came out of Round Robin on the winner's side at {{Trn|SWT: NA East Ultimate Regional Finals}}, he fell to {{Sm|Kola}} and {{Sm|Wrath}} to place 7th, failing to qualify for the [[Tournament:Smash World Tour 2021 Championships|championship tournament]]. His final two tournaments - {{Trn|Mainstage 2021}} and {{Trn|CEO 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 the [[PGRUContenders North America]] - below other players who had won major tournaments that season such as {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} and Kola - and 18th in the world on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]].

====2022====
The first half of ESAM's year was rather uneventful, as he only attended 3 notable tournaments: {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}, {{Trn|Combo Breaker 2022}}, and {{Trn|Battle of BC 4}}. He only garnered a single top 50 win -{{Sm|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 the [[OrionRank Mid-Year 2022]], with his Combo Breaker 2022 result being ignored due to his perceived "sandbagging" with his new secondary {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} throughout most of the tournament,<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://old.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/vm4hqg/orionrank_ultimate_2022_midyear_update_honorable/ie2egv5/?context=3|title=ESAM's exclusion from OrionRank 2022 Mid-Year}}</ref> and was ranked 35th on the [[PGRU v3 NA]], a significant drop from his top 13 placement on the PGRContenders list.

==Playstyle==
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 in [[edge guarding]] and [[combo]] game with Pikachu, who he has mained across most of the ''Smash'' 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 using [[Bidou]], with emphasis on [[perfect pivoting]] and [[Quick 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's [[Thunder 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, ESAM [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE1IyGZgLOs lacks the ability to find a way back into the match] unless he regains the momentum to quickly fight back. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lqgPD_-rnQ His edge guarding and edge trapping ability] is phenomenal especially against characters with weak or lackluster recoveries. He utilizes [[Thunder]] 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, in ''Ultimate'', with the inclusion of Pikachu's [[down air]] [[spike]], ESAM has another option to finish off an opponent.

==Controversy==

===Hypocrisy allegations===
ESAM has made several statements in the past deemed hypocritical by numerous members of the ''Smash'' community. On July 16th, 2020, {{Sm|Technicals}} would make a video about ESAM describing some of these instances [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foN-L_y-r_w].

Throughout the years 2012 to 2014, ESAM would say multiple racial slurs on websites such as Smashboards and on {{Sm|NAKAT}}'s stream [https://smashboards.com/threads/pgd-happy-birthday-red.229275/post-14019802]. 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 harass {{Sm|Kiyarash}} over a screenshot of someone using his username to say multiple slurs. In the past, he had done the same thing to {{Sm|FOW}} and {{Sm|MJG}} when false allegations were made about them. After the Kiyarash incident, ESAM then made a tweet criticizing other ''Smash'' players for "supporting cancel culture" and for trying to actively harm someone's image despite his previous actions [https://twitter.com/imESAM/status/1271807872976986114].

ESAM would eventually make a video called "Accountability" apologizing for his actions [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqi-LihivaQ&t=292s]. 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 [https://twitter.com/imESAM/status/1278088286398005248].

On November 17th, 2020, ESAM would reply to {{Sm|Epic_Gabriel}}, sending an extremely vulgar Tweet in response to him winning an offline local during a pandemic. [https://twitter.com/imESAM/status/1328790769310822400] After Tweeting this, he received a huge amount of backlash for "being too harsh" on Gabe and for not saying anything when his brother {{Sm|NickRiddle}} was also attending locals during the pandemic.

===Libel allegations===
On August 14th, 2011, ESAM would come out against {{Sm|Mew2King}} claiming that he should be banned while spreading rumors about him masturbating to hentai on random people's beds [https://smashboards.com/threads/would-the-communities-like-to-see-m2k-banned-please-read-op-b4-voting.308956/]. Mew2King would later confirm that ESAM's allegations were false due to health conditions which made it impossible for him to perform said actions [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVuEST8RdL8&t=74s].

On July 2nd, 2020, amidst a [[2020 Super Smash Bros. sexual misconduct allegations|wave of sexual harassment allegations in the community]] and while [[Smasher:D1#Sexual misconduct allegations and ban|D1 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PG_ESAM/status/1278699686262706180|title=ESAM's response}}</ref> In July 2021, however, {{Sm|D1}} released [https://medium.com/@dron.maingrette/my-statement-4ab2a242e4a3 a statement via Medium], as well as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYppIgN5P4o a video version] on [[YouTube]], 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/16MO7z00sFnRJw3ZbHi4wSHQRQ9wiVIUy/view|title=ESAM screenshot}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*ESAM is {{Sm|NickRiddle}}'s younger brother.
*In ESAM's [[YouTube]] video "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Why Samus?", he explains that his tag comes from a combination of his name "Eric" and "[[Samus]]" since {{SSBM|Samus}} was the first character he mained in ''[[Melee]]'' 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 top {{s|wikipedia|Divekick}} player, and he won the ''Divekick'' event at {{Trn|CEO 2014}}.
*ESAM is the subject of a number of memes within the ''Smash'' 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 on {{SSB4|Pikachu}} being one of the best characters in ''[[Smash 4]]''. The latter point has also started a meme in the ''Smash'' 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://youtu.be/YqvuRRu3Pxg|title=#ESAMOpinions}}</ref>
*ESAM is the most prominent user of the [[Bidou]] control scheme in ''Smash 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 as {{SSB4|Samus}}.
*ESAM is a member of a YouTube channel called Games Over Easy, where he plays games alongside fellow smash professional MVD.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1-QqL9jxX5T8YcYXTUEnLw|title=Games Over Easy}}</ref> As of December 2018, the channel has not uploaded any videos since ''Ultimate'''s release.
*On April 19th, 2019, ESAM infamously lost a $500 money match against {{Sm|Samsora}} at {{Trn|Pound 2019}}, with Samsora winning 10-1 and both competitors subsequently joking about the match together on [[Twitter]].
**In the singles bracket at the same tournament, he lost to {{Sm|MuteAce}} 1-2 in Winners and lost to {{Sm|LingLing}} 2-3 in Losers, meaning he lost 15 total games to Peach at one tournament.
