| '''Delphiki''' is a professional {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} player from Sacramento, CA, and a member of the crews TeamScape and [[Nova]]. He has traveled and competed up and down the West Coast numerous times competing in ''Melee''. His tournament results consistently place him among the top 30% of Smashers on the West Coast. In Brawl, he continues to main the Ice Climbers, with the addition of {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}. Delphiki was ranked 16th on the [[NorCal Power Rankings|NorCal Melee Power Rankings]], and 2nd on the Sacramento Melee Power Rankings. | |

| == Contributions ==
| |
| Delphiki has written a guide on competitive smash play which focuses on the fluidity and nature of the metagame. It explains the nature of the metagame as related to characters, tournament rules, the community, and the individual player. He has also created a guide to playing the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} at a competitive level, featured on AllisBrawl.com.
| |
|
| |
|
| In addition to guides, Delphiki also maintains a blog on All is Brawl which covers Smash theory among other topics.
| | While he mains [[Ice Climbers]], he is also known to use [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Pichu]] as secondaries, and the occasional [[Roy]] and [[Bowser]]. |
|
| |
|
| Most tournaments in the Sacramento community were organized or co-organized by Delphiki. In addition to local tournaments, Delphiki was a staff member at [[Super Champ Combo]], and has aided TOs at a number of other major tournaments, including [[OC3]] (for which he aided with funding), and the NorCal Ultimate Biweekly.
| |
|
| |
|
| Delphiki is an administrator at {{Sm|nealdt}}'s [[AllisBrawl]].
| | While yet to make a name for himself in tournament play, he is a regular attendant of local gatherings and competitions. |
