Biography

Jeremiah Hopkins, better known as Jay, TacticalMeteor in tournaments, or Jay Acero on the Internet, is a top competitive smasher around the Central Pennsylvania area. He has competed in Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg, Carlisle, and even Baltimore, Maryland, all of which he came in first place. He has been a member of many crews, including the Maple 64's (a Canadian retro gaming group), Eagle Gaming (a group located in the Cumberland Valley School District), and TheBplusAverage (a YouTube gaming channel which was discontinued two years ago). He is currently the leader of the Fredricksen Smashers, a competitive crew based in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

Jeremiah started playing the series when he was three years old, and was instantly hooked. He first played a beta version of Melee from a Walmart video game window, eventually acquiring the game when he was eight. Beforehand, he had joined the Maple 64's, a Canadian retro gaming group based in Dunnville, Ontario, Canada. Even at a young age, he showed his competitive side in combat games and proved to be a worthy opponent. Upon buying Melee, he further increased in his skills and began studying the game physics and its mechanics, allowing him to understand game strategy on a completely different level. He broke off from the Maple 64's and joined Eagle Gaming, a local crew that specialized in advanced strategy. When Brawl was released in 2008, he once again broke off from the crew and began studying Brawl physics and mechanics.

When he was eleven years old, Jeremiah walked in on a Brawl tournament, his first, at Cleve J. Fredricksen Library, in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Over a course of three hours, he managed to win first prize, running on an undefeated record. Since then, he has competed in different parts of Central Pennsylvania, and even unofficially competed in Baltimore, Maryland, also maintaining his undefeated record.

Strategies

Jeremiah has spent most of his studying of the game on physics and mechanics, perfecting techniques such as the "wave dash" and also developing combos himself such as the "Rainbow Kick Combo", the "Corkscrew Knockback" and the "Aerial Facepalm". Although relatively unknown, these combos have proven themselves in gameplay. Demonstrations of these combos can be found on his YouTube channel, TacticalMeteor.
