'''Marcus''' is a [[New Jersey]] Smasher, considered one of the best players in New Jersey across two different ''Smash'' titles.


Marcus first competed in {{forwiiu}} under the tag '''The Great Gonzales''', playing {{SSB4|Ness}}, and initially established himself with several notable performances in the Tristate area, including defeating {{Sm|ScAtt}} at {{Trn|KTAR XIX}} and placing 9th at {{Trn|Apex 2016}}. His breakout event took place at {{Trn|Royal Flush}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Mr. E}}, {{Sm|Pink Fresh}}, and {{Sm|WaDi}} to place 5th, his first major top 8 of his career. Since then, he has placed well at a variety of other majors, picked up {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} towards the end of the game's competitive lifepan, and defeated {{Sm|Lima}} at {{Trn|Frostbite 2018}}. In addition, Marcus is known for winning the post-''Ultimate'' ''Smash 4'' event at {{Trn|Supernova 2024}} with solo-Ness, the event becoming the largest ''Smash'' event won by a Ness player in any ''Smash'' game.
'''Marcus''', also known as '''The Great Gonzales''' and '''YoutubeMan''', is an ''[[Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} player from [[New Jersey]], and was considered to be one of the best players in New Jersey. Marcus initially mained {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}. However, after the initial month of the game, he switched to {{SSBU|Palutena}}. He achieved large success on the local and regional level, but did not make a national breakout performance until {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}. Marcus has wins over {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Rivers}}, {{Sm|Wishes}}, {{Sm|LeoN}}, {{Sm|ScAtt}}, {{Sm|Suarez}}, {{Sm|Gackt}}, and {{Sm|Jakal}}, as well as numerous sets on the rest of Tristate's best players. He is currently ranked 7th on the [[New Jersey Ultimate Power Rankings]] and was formerly ranked 43rd on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]].


Marcus achieved greater recognition in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s early metagame, where he initially played {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} before swapping to {{SSBU|Palutena}} a month later. His greatest tournament run took place at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, where he placed 13th after upsetting {{Sm|Tweek}}, achieving one of the largest upsets in the early metagame, and defeating {{Sm|Gackt}} and ScAtt. Alongside several other strong performances, such as placing 3rd at {{Trn|Scarlet Classic V}} after defeating {{Sm|Suarez}}, Marcus was ranked 43rd on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]]. Since then, he has rarely traveled outside his region to compete and has switched to {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}.
In ''[[Smash 4]]'', Marcus was formerly one of the best {{SSB4|Ness}} players in the United States. He is well known for his performance in ''Smash 4'' at {{Trn|Royal Flush}}, where he placed 5th. Marcus was ranked 11th on the final [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]], uncharacteristically low due to lack of motivation by the end of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s lifespan. He has taken sets off of players such as Rivers, Wishes, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|Mr. E}}, {{Sm|Lima}}, {{Sm|WaDi}}, ScAtt, and {{Sm|Salem}}.
