==  About Dark.Pch ==
Dark.Pch started playing advanced level ''[[Melee]]'' in the spring of 2006.  For this journey to higher level play, he chose [[Peach]] as a [[main character|main]] and has since then stuck with her.  He was very attached to his Peach play, and therefore never really played as any other [[character|characters]].  Even now, Dark.Pch finds it extremely difficult to use any other character efficiently and smartly.  When attempting characters other than Peach, his [[mindgames]] tend to be rather limited.  The one exception to this trend is [[Zelda]], whom he has been able to develop somewhat, though not anywhere near the level of his Peach play.  In recent days his Peach had improved exponentially, and he has become a decent competitive player.  He has recently increased his activity on the [[tournament]] scene and readily takes any advice given to him.  This activity in conjunction with his determination to become a smash great and strong work ethic have been the spark of this transition to improvement.


Dark.Pch is more than just a [[smasher]], though. His talents double as that of an aspiring artist; he creates his own anime/manga art.  Amongst his friends, his most known would be his “Dark X” series.

'''Dark.Pch''' is a dedicated [[Peach]] player from New York. He started playing competitively with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' in the spring of 2006. He chose [[Peach]] as his [[main character|main]] and has since then stuck with her.  He has several videos uploaded on his YouTube channel.  


The only tournament that Dark.Pch has won was a small, free tournament at Polytechnic college in New York City.  In the finals, he was matched up against a talented [[Pikachu]] player from the renowned [[crew]], [[Deadly Alliance]].  He held his own and managed to take the win.  Presently he works very hard to go deep into tournaments and hopes to one day consistently place at the top. Only time can tell when the beast from within will erupt and his skill will rise off the charts. He has several videos on YouTube, so it is easy to sift through and see how much his skills have progressed over time.  New videos are always being put out.
Dark.Pch is currently head of the Peach ''[[Brawl]]'' backroom and is a lead Smashboards debater while still being considered to be one of the best Peach mains on the East Coast. Even when pitted against opponents that counter Peach, he always uses Peach in competitive play but occasionally uses Zelda in friendlies. His official color is the Daisy outfitted Peach.

Dark.Pch can be very creative on the fly. He is very talented at throwing people off balance with the most random mindgames. He is most renowned for his intriguing [[grab]] and [[up smash]] mindgames. The up smash is so random and amazing that even when people see it coming they jump right into it. The random employment of usmash is a facet of Dark.Pch’s game that has been trickling down to other Peaches with high rates of success. (Except to those peaches who have been doing it since the time he joined the boards). He is also very spontaneous with his grabs; he is so crafty at sneaking them in whenever the opponent expects everything but the grab. It is these two particular faces of his game that have gotten him the nicknames “King of Grabs” and “Upsmash God”. His mindgames are so creative and unusual at times that it shows clear signs of an untapped stream of unpredictability that will one day be exploited and propel him to the top levels of smash.

Dark.Pch's largest flaw is that he often finds himself easily [[combo|comboed]]. This ease can be attributed to Dark.Pch's poor [[directional influence|DI]], since Peach's can generally avoid such combos with good DI. In spite of his frenetic style, he occasionally falls into the trap of being predictable, which presumable happens when he is not fully focused and his mind wanders.

Even when pitted against opponents that counter Peach, he always uses Peach in competitive play and [[Friendly|friendlies]] (though he includes some Zelda in friendlies). Under no circumstance, tournament play or not, would he even consider changing his character to make things potentially easier for himself. He is a Peach player down to the very last fiber in his bones. To suit his name, his official color is the Daisy outfitted Peach. Occasionally he will use other colors, but in any match that counts to him, he will be giving full representation of his name by using the Daisy-colored Peach.
 
“Pch” is simply an abbreviation for Peach. He does not care that it is a three letter abbreviation for a five letter word.
 
== Worst match-ups ==
Dark.Pch hates playing against these particular characters:
*[[Captain Falcon|C.Falcon]]
*[[Fox]] (at times)
*[[Marth]] (at times)
 
== Smash idols ==
*[[Mike G]]
*[[Wife]]
*[[Vidjogamer|Vidjo]]
*[[ElfenLiedPeach]]
 
Dark.Pch is inspired by the first three players and does what he can to try and be just like them by watching thier videos and learning from them. The fourth one provides to him the passionate fires he needs to push forward and strive his hardest to attain his goal of becoming an elite smasher.
 
== The Dark.Pch Fan Club ==
 
A northern New Jersey crew not yet very well known, The Leisuremen of Chaos, has recently founded a Dark.Pch fanclub.  It has been created for reasons not quite well known other than the fact that they all like his personality and kindness, and greatly enjoy watching him climb the steps to further advance his smash prowess.  Led by Dark.Pch's incredibly enthusiastic girlfriend, the Dark.Pch fanclub has become an extra crutch that watches his back at all times and supports his playing at all times.  It is rumored that the Leisuremen of Chaos may soon merge with Dark.Pch's crew, Imperial Era.  As of now, if that merger occured, the name of that crew would be "Imperial Quietus", which would hope to rise to prominence throughout the tri-state area given the time to improve.
