'''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.
'''Delphiki''' is an [[Ice Climbers]] player from Rancho Cordova, CA who recently helped give rise to the crew [[Nova Complex]]. He uses the monikers '''BEAN''' and '''DELF''' in play, with all three names stemming from the character of Julian Delphiki (not to be confused with [[J_DELPHIKI]]) in the parallel series of ''Ender's Shadow'' novels by Orson Scott Card. He is the younger brother of [[DRGN]], with whom he sometimes teams as ''[[Dragon Army]]'', being a combination of a reference to the ''Ender'' novels and DRGN's name. He more frequently teams with crewmate [[Catnip]] as ''[[Too Good]]''.
 
== Characters ==
 
While he mains [[Ice Climbers]] and [[Pichu]], he also occasionally uses [[Falco]] and [[Link]].
 
His Climbers style relies heavily on desynching, and he in fact desynchs much more than most professional Ice Climber players. He has been quoted as saying "I main Popo, but my secondary is Nana." He is also one of the NorCal [[Ice Climbers]], the other [superior] ones being [[choknater]], [[ProdigyKid]], [[Zhu]], [[ShadowBTZO]], [[Sidefx]] and a Level 3 Computer.
 
 
Delphiki is a regular attendant/organizer of almost all local competitions, and has attended several tournaments out of the Sacramento Area including [[NorCal Biweeklies]], [[UCLA Monthlies]], and [[NCT2]]. Also, he hosts and organizes both the [[Sacramento Biweeklies]], and his own [[Delphiki Games]], both in the [[Sacramento Community]].
 
== Vids ==
 
Delphiki's only [[:Category:Videos|videos]] to date, come from a Smashfest at [[TeamScape]] leader [[ender]]'s house on November 11th, 2006. It is rumored that Delphiki aims to produce a [[:Category:Combo Videos|combo video]] showcasing his [[Ice Climbers]].

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]].
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. Also, most tournaments in the [[Sacramento Community]] are organized or co-organized by Delphiki and [[TC1]]. These tournaments include the [[Delphiki Games]], the [[Sacramento Biweeklies]], and [[Tyde's Manly Smashfests]] [http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=98835], which feature Nova Complex and many other players in the Sacramento Area. Delphiki is also a moderator/administrator on [[Nealdt]]'s [[tia]].


==Tournament placings==
In recent news, the regular NorCal Biweekly attendees flamed Delphiki for accusing them for being "cheap *******s" for not donating part of the pot money to OC3. This crucial mistake lost his a lot of respect (if any) that he might have had w/ the NCB community.
