'''9B''' ({{ja|9B|kyuu-bi}}, pronounced '''QB'''; originally spelled 九尾, "nine tails") is a Smasher from Osaka, [[Kansai (region)|Kansai]], Japan, considered one of the greatest Japanese ''Smash'' players of the 2010s.

Though active during ''[[Melee]]''{{'}}s early years (and considered to be one of the best players in the country despite his low attendance),<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180306183518/http://smash.captainjack.jp/entry/ssbmrank-14th-20th</ref>  9B first gained recognition for his performances in ''[[Brawl]]'', where he initially played {{SSBB|Snake}} before switching to the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}. He is considered one of the greatest ''Brawl'' players of all time (being considered the best alongside {{Sm|Nairo}} in 2014) and the best Japanese ''Brawl'' player of all time, having won a total of 7 [[Major (SSBB)|majors]] throughout his ''Brawl'' career. He is especially known for playing the Ice Climbers, whom he used to win 6 majors; among these major wins were the American tournament {{Trn|SKTAR 3}} and the Japanese tournament {{Trn|SumabatoX 6}}, the latter of which is one of the largest ''Brawl'' tournaments in Japan. As such, 9B is often considered the greatest ''Brawl'' Ice Climbers player of all time.

In {{forwiiu}}, 9B initially played {{SSB4|Shulk}} before finding more success with {{SSB4|Ryu}} for the rest of the game's first year. However, he found even more success with {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, and he became one of the first notable Bayonetta players in competitive play, winning several notable Japanese events such as {{Trn|Sumabato 9}} and finishing 5th at the American [[Major (SSB4)|major]] {{Trn|Shots Fired 2}}, becoming the first Bayonetta player to place top 8 at a major. For the rest of competitive-''Smash 4'', 9B was considered one of the best players from Japan, ranking in the region's top 10 up until the game's final year, and frequently placed well at Japan's largest events, including 4th at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2017}}. As such, he is considered one of the best Japanese Bayonetta players of all time, and was ultimately ranked 44th on the [[PGR 100]]. 

9B eventually retired from competitive ''Smash'' in late 2017. Though he only saw minimal tournament activity afterwards, he, alongside {{Sm|aMSa}}, {{Sm|Ranai}}, {{Sm|Earth}}, and {{Sm|Kakera}}, served as playtesters for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>https://twitter.com/Vayseth_/status/1070712085888294912</ref> In addition, 9B was formerly the [[TO]] of the {{Trn|Sumabato|series}} tournament series, organizing all of its ''Brawl'' events and its ''Smash 4'' events until {{Trn|Sumabato 19}}, and is the older brother of {{Sm|Okechi}}.

==Metagame advancement==
9B is said to have created the faster, yet more difficult, [[chaingrab]] for the Ice Climbers in ''Brawl''. This involves using Popo's [[down throw]] to start the chain, having Nana re-grab, then executing a [[back throw]] so Popo can regrab. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLsijzdQSIc</ref> The following description is from the Youtube video showcasing this technique, which can be found at the bottom of this page or by clicking the reference tag before this sentence. It explains how the technique works and why it is a faster chaingrab.
<p>''When you grab with Popo, naturally, Nana will grab as well. Since Popo normally grabs the opponent, Nana will be left with a dead grab animation. An experienced player in the Ice Climbers match-up knows this is the PERFECT time to MASH THE HELL OUT OF THAT CONTROLLER, as the Nana cannot re-grab just yet. Since Popo's B-Throw executes in so few frames, Nana will have to wait to finish said animation. HOWEVER, D-Throw's animation lasts significantly longer, giving Nana time to finish her grab animation DURING the throw, meaning the opponent can't mash out. After D-Throwing with Popo, Nana doesn't have a grab animation, so you can instantly throw again; buffered B-Throw being your fastest option. That's how this chain came to be.'' </p>
The main mechanics of achieving this string include buffering a walk in the opposite direction after re-grabbing with Nana. The back throw will then come out accompanied by a turnaround by Popo, not a walk. This allows Popo to re-grab the opponent and thus continue the chaingrab.

==Trivia==
*9B is known for frequently self-destructing with Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'', mostly doing so after having taken a stock from an opponent after a combo involving her special moveset. This is sometimes referred to as the "9B dive".
