'''Coney''' (often stylized in all-caps) is a commentator from Odenton, Maryland, known for being one of the most prominent commentators in the United States for ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]''. He has commentated at many major and supermajor events including {{Trn|Super Smash Con|series}}, {{Trn|The Big House|series}}, and {{Trn|Smash World Tour}}, and often partners with {{Sm|TKbreezy}} and {{Sm|EE}}; the trio is known as "The Blast Zone", which is named after their bi-weekly talk show. In addition, he regularly streams on Twitch and uploads videos to his YouTube channel, boasting over 200,000 subscribers on the latter platform.

Prior to focusing on his commentary career, Coney was known for being one of the best ''[[Brawl]]'' {{SSBB|King Dedede}} players in the world and was last ranked 84th on the [[SSBBRank 2014]]. He is known for being the only Dedede player to take a game off of {{Sm|Mew2King}}'s {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, doing so at {{Trn|School is in Session 4}}. In addition, he played {{PM|Wario}} in ''[[Project M]]'', and was considered one of the best Wario players in the United States in the game's early years. Although Coney played other ''Smash'' games, he took the games less seriously compared to ''Brawl'' and ''Project M''.

Coney has been signed with {{Team|VGBootCamp}} since August 24th, 2016 and {{Team|Luminosity Gaming}} since June 7th, 2023, as a commentator and/or content creator for both organizations. He was also formerly signed with {{Team|Panda}} from March 2019 to December 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/VGBootCamp/status/768523907192070144|title=Coney joins VGBootCamp}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PandaGlobal/status/1109256016460480512|title=Coney joins Panda Global}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Luminosity/status/1666596126106042368|title=Coney joins Luminosity Gaming}}</ref>
