Arcana has a long-standing history with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and the [https://www.facebook.com/groups/coloradosmash/ Colorado Smash] community he is a part of. He officially became a Smasher in 2003 with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' under the tag ''XYZ'' as a {{SSBM|Sheik}} player before moving on to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in 2008, when he then took up the tag ''Level~Zero''. In ''Brawl'' he gained more renown as he became more adamant about he series, becoming more active and all around more skilled. For a time, he was Power Ranked in ''Brawl'' in Colorado, having mained {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Fox}}.

Sometime around 2011, he relatively fell out of Smash for a brief while until 2014, when his drive was rekindled when he began playing ''Project M''. He started out in PM version 3.0 and took up the tag ''Arcana'' (a nod to the ''Shin Megami Tensei: Persona'' series), picking up {{PM|Mr. Game & Watch}} as his first initial main until switching over to Zero Suit Samus out of his personal nostalgic fondness for the {{uv|Metroid}} franchise (though still retaining G&W as a secondary). He has expressed that the reason for why he mains Zero Suit Samus over Samus is because he has difficulty grasping Samus' slower, campier, ground-based metagame.

He has expressed that the reason for why he mains {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}} over regular {{PM|Samus}} is because he has a very difficult time grasping {{PM|Samus}}' slower, campier, ground-based meta.


He was previously ranked 1st on the [[Colorado Power Rankings]] for ''Project M'', and is all-around one of Colorado's most notable and revered Smashers.
Currently '''Arcana''' is ranked '''2nd''' on the Colorado Project M PR and is all-around one of Colorado's most notable and revered Smash players.
 
He took a set off of {{Sm|Mew2King}} at MVG Revelations 2 and double elminated {{Sm|Kycse}} at Revelation 2016.
