'''Forward''' is an ''[[SSBM]]'' {{SSBM|Falco}} player from [[Arizona]], who at his prime during the [[Golden Age]] was one of the top Falco players in the world.  Forward was a notable influence on the Falco metagame, and traces of his style can be seen in nearly every top Falco player, most notable is his creation of the aerial shine into platform waveland combo starter.

His name is derived from Falco's [[side special]], the [[Falco Phantasm]]. His tendency to [[SD]] with the move prompted him to name himself after it.

Beginning in March of 2006, Forward embarked on a five month tour of the United States. Starting with [[Cataclysm 3]], he traveled from tournament to tournament, all across the United States. He placed 5th at Cataclysm 3, with players such as {{Sm|KoreanDJ}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, and {{Sm|PC Chris}} in attendance. Forward then made his way to Virginia, winning Fight Club, beating {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Husband}}, {{Sm|Wes}}, and {{Sm|Plank}}, he then proceeded to ride that momentum to Tennessee where he won [[Innsomnia V]], and then to Illinois where he won [[SMYM 7]] as well.

He is recognized for the combo video "Forward's C.O.C.K" (Combos On Colorado Kids), produced by Chap. 

At [[OC3]], Forward gave his controller to {{Sm|Bombsoldier}}, and announced his retirement, though he still attends tournaments on occasion.
