===2014: Early Dominance, APEX 2014, and the Sudden Decline on Attendance===
 
Starting with [[Tipped Off 9]] in late 2013, PPMD had a dominant period where he managed to win every tournament he entered for half a year; simultaneously, PPMD is known for rarely going to tournaments (outside of small NC locals) - in 2014, he only traveled to the most significant tournaments, such as [[Apex 2014]], [[MLG Anaheim 2014]], and [[EVO 2014]].

One of PPMD's most significant achievements throughout his Smash career was his fantastic performance at Apex 2014. Without dropping a set, PPMD swept through winners while defeating {{Sm|Kage}}, {{Sm|HugS}}, and {{Sm|aMSa}} in a 2-0 fashion to make into top 8. In top 8, PPMD defeated {{Sm|Mango}} 3-1 in winners' semis and Mew2King 3-0 and 3-1 in winners' finals and Grand Finals respectively (including two 4-stocks against Mew2King, with one being a Marth ditto on Final Destination during the second game of winners' finals). His 1st place finish at Apex 2014 brought great fame in his Smash career; PPMD was interviewed by ScrewAttack, was picked up by professional eSports organization [[Evil Geniuses]] on May 9th, 2014 (around the time of his sponsorship, he amended his tag from Dr. PeePee to PPMD).

PPMD later won [[SKTAR 3]], defeating Armada 2-1 in winners' semis, Mango 3-1 in winners' finals, and Mew2King 3-1 once again in grand finals (with another 4-stock in the final game). Because of winning SKTAR 3, PPMD successfully qualified for the championship bracket at MLG Anaheim 2014. As a result of his performances, he was ranked 1st on the [[Summer 2014 SSBMRank]].

However, after SKTAR 3, PPMD wasn't able to keep his dominance as he couldn't win any single major until [[Apex 2015]]. At MLG Anaheim 2014, PPMD only lost one set in his pool, to {{Sm|Leffen}} 2-3. He was seeded in winners' semis in the championship bracket, where he lost to Mango 2-3. He then eliminated Leffen 3-1 in losers' quarters, but was eliminated by Mew2King 2-3 in losers' semis, placing 4th overall. Three weeks later, at EVO 2014, PPMD made it to winners' quarters against Hungrybox, but lost 1-2. He defeated {{Sm|PewPewU}} 2-0 in losers' bracket to make it into the top 8, where he eliminated {{Sm|Fly Amanita}} 2-1 and Mew2King 2-0 before being eliminated by Armada 0-2, placing 4th overall.

PPMD was also invited to participate in the [[E3 2014]]-held [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational]] tournament to play ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. He used {{SSB4|Fox}} in the tournament, and won the Fan-Favorite Tournament after being eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Later on, PPMD announced his reason of his inactive appearance in 2014, revealing that this mainly due to personal issues, specifically depression. [http://evilgeniuses.gg/Read/437,Where-I-Have-Been-and-Where-I-am-Going/] Until Apex 2015, PPMD hadn't return to the competitive scene in over 5 months.

PPMD's most famous performance throughout his Smash career was his 1st place finish at [[Apex 2015]]. Despite his long breaks since EVO 2014 due to personal issues, PPMD managed to deliver himself up to attend Apex 2015. Nevertheless, many professionals and viewers were overwhelmingly surprised to see PPMD's fantastic dominance throughout this tournament, despite his long hiatus. Into the winners bracket, PPMD managed to take down many notable players such as {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 2-0, {{Sm|S2J}} 2-1, PewPewU 2-1, and Armada 3-2. PPMD climbed into Winners as he met Leffen, who was recently claimed as a Godslayer after his victory against Mew2King, at Winners' Finals. While using predominantly Marth, PPMD managed to clutch the set against Leffen in a 3-2 victory. After PPMD's win against Leffen at Winners Finals, Armada swept through losers and indeed took down Leffen at Losers Finals in a 3-1 victory. PPMD faced off against Armada in Grand Finals where, despite Armada resetting the bracket in a 3-2 first set, PPMD ultimately took Apex 2015 with a 3-0 victory in set 2.

PPMD did not attend a noteworthy event afterward until [[EVO 2015]], although he had planned on attending [[I'm Not Yelling!]] and some other tournaments. At EVO 2015, PPMD swept through pools and made it through Winners Finals after defeating SFAT 2-1, HugS 2-1, and {{Sm|Plup}} 2-0. In Winners Finals, PPMD faced off against Armada where he was eliminated 3-0. At the end, PPMD was later eliminated by Hungrybox in a convincing 3-0 loss, securing 3rd place.

Throughout the tournament, PPMD was able to surf through Grand Finals while defeating {{Sm|Ryan Ford}} and {{Sm|Duck}} without dropping a set. In Grand Finals, PPMD convincingly 2-0d Duck and was declared the winner of Canada Cup 2015.  


PPMD's final tournament at 2015 was [[Smash Summit]]. Known for its large prize pot and inviting selected professionals to compete the summit, PPMD was invited to the Smash Summit. Throughout Winners, PPMD was able to defeat {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} 3-0 and {{Sm|Westballz}} in a close 3-2 before being eliminated by Armada 3-1. Unfortunately, PPMD lost against Plup 3-2, securing 5th place.

===2016: PPMD's Final Year Before Hiatus===
The first major tournament of 2016, [[GENESIS 3]] marked the revival of one of the most prolific tournament series in Smash history. It was also one of PPMD's last singles tournament until his long hiatus. Throughout GENESIS 3, PPMD managed to cruise through top 32 winners while defeating Swedish Delight 3-1, {{Sm|Lucky}} 3-2, and SFAT 3-1. During top 8 winners, despite PPMD's impressive Falco performance at Game 2 and having close games against Armada, Armada managed to take down PPMD in a 3-1 victory. PPMD landed at 5th place after losing to Mango in a convincing 3-0 defeat.

PPMD's final and most devastating singles performance was [[Battle of the Five Gods]]. The Battle of the Five Gods references the five "Gods" attending, including PPMD. During Round Robin, PPMD managed to be seated at the Playoffs Group after defeating {{Sm|Ice}} 3-1 and PewPewU 3-0 before losing against Westballz 1-3. PPMD wasn't able to make it through the Finals Bracket as PPMD was eliminated by every particular player he competed against at Playoffs Group. PPMD lost to Silent Wolf 1-3, Plup 1-3, {{Sm|MacD}} 0-3, and Wobbles 0-3, securing 10th place. This was a devastating defeat from PPMD and this marked his worst placement ever since Pound 4, where he got 9th place.

After his devastating loss at the Battle of the Five Gods, PPMD's condition worsened. PPMD did not attend EVO 2016 due to health issues involving physical fatigue and low testosterone. PPMD stated he probably wouldn't have maintained the energy to compete even if he did recover before the tournament. <ref>http://www.thescoreesports.com/smash/news/8883-ppmd-will-not-attend-evo-2016-due-to-health-issues</ref> Since the Battle of the Five Gods, PPMD hasn't entered a singles bracket.

===2017: Bad Moon Rising 2===
===2017: Bad Moon Rising 2===
After a year of hiatus, PPMD began to improve his condition as he managed to start a more active lifestyle, providing him enough strength to enter [[Bad Moon Rising 2]]. Many viewers were surprised to see PPMD competing at Bad Moon Rising 2 in doubles and were anticipated to see his return to the scene in over a year. With his partner, LoZR, PPMD and his teammate successfully swept through Phase 1 of Pools until Top 32 where they met against Colbol and {{Sm|dizzkidboogie}}. In a hard-fought match, PPMD and LoZR were sent to losers at a 2-1 defeat but later made into top 8 losers. Many spectators began to questioned whether PPMD and LoZR could defeat Hungrybox and {{Sm|Crunch}} at Top 5 losers. In top 5 losers, PPMD and LoZR first takes a close first game against Hungrybox and Crunch after LoZR made a clutch upsmash against Hungrybox. During the second game, Hungrybox and Crunch managed to complete their first game in an another tense match. At game three, PPMD and LoZR took another game against Hungrybox and Crunch but at game four, Hungrybox and Crunch retaliate. At game five, PPMD and LoZR ended in a fantastic finish against Hungrybox and Crunch by an up throw to Fox's up-air and Falco's down-air on Hungrybox and a quick edgeguard against Crunch. After winning against Hungrybox and Crunch, PPMD and LoZR faced a rematch against Colbol and dizzkidboogie. Despite PPMD's and LoZR's efforts, they nonetheless lost in a 3-0 defeat, securing 4th place at Bad Moon Rising 2 doubles.

After this foray, PPMD would immediately resume competitive inactivity, not competing in any sort of tournament since.
==Playing style==
 
==Playstyle==
Although PPMD's technique is very refined, he is not known for his technical prowess as much as other top players such as {{Sm|Westballz}} and {{Sm|PewPewU}}. Rather, he is renowned for his strong mental game and extremely threatening and precise [[dash dance]] spacing, both of which are part of his mildly aggressive play-style that is very conservative and methodical compared to other top players. As part of this playstyle, PPMD almost never consciously makes a sub-par decision in a match in an attempt to gain advantage or "disrespect" his opponent, even when greatly ahead in a game. This leads to PPMD having what is arguably the best [[neutral game]] play in the world, and even top players, such as {{Sm|Armada}}, have commented on how difficult it is to get an opening against him.

*PPMD's signature chant is "Stack it up!", which came from local dialect that slowly became associated with PPMD.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrRtAg3QOn8#t=110]</ref>

*PPMD's gamer tag is often used in combination with the [http://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/41/1.0 "Kreygasm"] Twitch emote in ''Melee'' streams; this originated with Mango posting "PPMD Kreygasm" whenever he was seen in the chatroom due to his uncommon tournament appearances, starting in the latter half of 2014 and eventually carrying over to the first half of 2015. PPMD only attended Apex and EVO in the span of seven months. PPMD's presence tends to elicit this meme, whether playing on stream, interacting with the chat (during which he will often analyze the matches at hand), or streaming on his own channel.
*PPMD is {{Sm|Twitch}}'s older brother.

**One of PPMD's Twitch subscription emotes is of his own face emulating the "Kreygasm" emote.

**After PPMD's first post-EVO 2015 stream, he organized a Twitch raid on the [http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick Games Done Quick channel] during their 2015 Summer event, which resulted in a massive "PPMD Kreygasm" spam in its chat that lasted for over thirty minutes until the channel's moderators censored the word "PPMD". Games Done Quick's staff made a remark about that particular event on their Twitter account. <ref>[https://twitter.com/GamesDoneQuick/status/625513073567100928]</ref> They eventually turned off the censor, and PPMD's name would still occasionally pop up in the chat since PPMD hosted the stream on his channel from the time of the raid until the event ended.

*In an interview, PPMD explains that his lack of energy caused by his depression is his main reason for continuing to develop his Marth for tournaments in recent years. He feels that Marth better suits his playstyle when he has "low energy," while Falco matches his style when he has "high energy," mostly due to the different technical precision required to play those characters.
*PPMD is well known for keeping his composure during matches, although he is a much more outgoing person than his Smash sets let on, as seen when he [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-HwvtRjDEI gets excited for Twitch's victories during Bad Moon Rising].

*With only $37,035 earned throughout his career, PPMD is the only God to not reach the $100,000 bar of earnings from tournaments. This is mostly due to his ascension coming later than the other Gods, not reaching that status until 2010, whereas the other Gods all reached that status at least a year earlier, as well as his retirement in early 2016, when every other God was still actively competing at least until 2018. Also, Melee's tournament earnings increased significantly after his retirement, compared to when he played frequently.
*PPMD is the only God not to reach the 100,000 dollar bar, winning at least 70,000 dollars less than the other Gods.
*PPMD has a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
*In stark contrast to the other Gods, PPMD is the only God who has never streamed ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' on Twitch, citing his love for Melee and dislike of Ultimate's visuals and movement options as reasons on his April 2019 comeback stream.
*When he still played for Evil Geniuses, PPMD wore shirt number 11. He explained that all members of his family choose that number when they played soccer and is referred as "the Nanney number." PPMD played soccer regularly with his siblings as well.
*PPMD is the only one of the Five Gods to never win a [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Smash Summit]].
