Quincy is the top Australian Smash 64 player, his rise to dominance beginning in 2018 after winning both Australian majors that year. He has lost four console tournaments in the country since then (three of which came at the hands of international players), with his lowest placing being 3rd.
His appearance at Super Smash Con 2022 marked the 5th time (and 4th person total) an Australian has travelled to the US to compete in Smash 64, managing to place 17th in singles with wins over Czar, lord narwhal, Loto and Killer. Teaming with lord narwhal in doubles, the two finished 7th with wins over Darkhorse & Josh Brody and Take & Prince, and managed to take a game off eventual champions Isai & tacos in pools.
Having picked the game up competitively as a 14-year-old during a time where there were (and still are) no other active players in his city, Quincy had to rely almost purely on Project64k, Training Mode and Online play to improve. He cites wario's performance at GENESIS 3 as his inspiration for picking up Pikachu but plays a variety of characters outside tournament environments and is similarly inspired by the likes of Jouske, Isai, Kurabba and DSC. His dedication to his craft was exemplified through the amount of time he sunk into the game in both 2016 and 2017, going as far as playing during class while in high school.
