==Tournament history==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Before playing in the offline scene, he gained fame on the [[All is Brawl]] ladder as an incredible [[Wi-Fi]] player, dominating the ladder with Zero Suit Samus. He made his offline debut at [http://www.smashboards.com/threads/juice-gaming-presents-concentrate-ii-results.313154/ Concentrate II], placing 5th, where he defeated {{Sm|Nicole}}, {{Sm|Jbandrew}}, {{Sm|Will}}, and {{Sm|Kingtoon}}. He later attended [[Apex 2012]]; while only placing 33rd, he defeated {{Sm|Nick Riddle}} in bracket, then considered to be the best Zero Suit Samus player in the USA.

Throughout 2012, Salem continued to enter tournaments and place well in stacked tournaments within the [[NY/NJ]] region, but it wasn't until a dominating performance at [[Apex 2013]] that he had a standout performance at a major, where he unexpectedly took the tournament. On his path to victory, he defeated top players such as {{Sm|mikeHAZE}}, {{Sm|Mr. R}}, {{Sm|Otori}}, the Apex 2012 champion, {{Sm|Dojo}}, {{Sm|Mikeneko}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}} in both Winners' and Grand Finals, the latter of which is considered to be one of the most intense sets witnessed in ''Brawl'' tournament play. In Grand Finals, the set went to a last game, last hit situation, before Salem won following an extensive war of attrition. His win stunned the community; not only had he won one of the most prestigious ''Brawl'' tournaments at the time with a character not considered [[Tier list|top tier]], but he had also never won a tournament prior to then.

At [[Apex 2014]], Salem advanced through his pool, defeating {{Sm|Mekos}}. He then defeated {{Sm|V115}}, before losing to {{Sm|ESAM}} in Winners'. He proceeded to defeat {{Sm|Pwii}} and {{Sm|Koolaid}}, before losing to {{Sm|ADHD}} in a close set, placing 9th overall, outplacing Nick Riddle once again.

===''[[Project M]]''===
Salem dabbled with [[Project M]], maining {{PM|Zelda}}. At [[Apex 2014]] he advanced to bracket, but lost to Eli right away. He then beat {{Sm|Vectorman}} before falling to {{Sm|Atomsk}} placing 33rd. At [[SKTAR 3]] he made a long Losers run beating {{Sm|Ringworm}}, {{Sm|NinjaLink}}, {{Sm|Wes}}, {{Sm|Internet Explorer}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, {{Sm|Porkchops}}, and {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, before losing to {{Sm|ZeRo}} to place 13th.

==={{forwiiu}}===
At the onset of ''SSB4'''s release, Salem initially co-mained {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}. His first major tournament was [[Apex 2015]], but he drastically underperformed, failing to advance from Pools following being DQed in Winners and losing to {{Sm|falln}} in Losers Finals of his Pool. Reversing that poor performance later, he placed 9th place at [[KTAR XII]]. At [[EVO 2015]] he made it to Top 32 Losers before losing to {{Sm|Tyrant}}, placing 25th. He'd place decently at smaller tournaments, placing 7th at [[SKTAR 4]], 2nd at [[KTAR XVII]], 9th at [[Shots Fired 2]], and 5th at [[Do or DI]] and [[KTAR XVIII]]. Upon {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s release in February 2016, Salem switched to maining her. 

Salem would finally have his breakout performance in ''SSB4'' when he won [[Collision XIV]], double-eliminating ZeRo in close sets in Winners Quarters and Losers Semis, Nairo in Losers Finals, and defeating {{Sm|Tweek}} in Grand Finals. He then attended [https://smash.gg/tournament/smashadelphia-ii/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/57146 Smashadelphia II], where he defeated {{Sm|Sinji}}, {{Sm|Mr.E}}, and {{Sm|6WX}} convincingly to take the tournament. He then traveled to compete at [https://smash.gg/tournament/smash-conference-lxvii/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/70855 Smash Conference LXVII], dominantly defeating {{Sm|dyr}}, {{Sm|Fatality}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}}. In Grand Finals Mew2King would reset the bracket, but Salem won the following set. 

Before [[The Big House 6]], Salem entered [[Little Big House 2]], where he defeated {{Sm|Darkshad}} and {{Sm|Shogun}} to advance into bracket. In bracket, he defeated {{Sm|Kameme}}, 6WX, {{Sm|Dath}}, and {{Sm|Abadango}} in Grand Finals to win the tournament, thought to be a precursor for his performance at The Big House 6. At The Big House 6, he defeated {{Sm|MJG}} and {{Sm|Rich Brown}} to advance into Top 32. In Top 32 he fell to {{Sm|Dabuz}} in Winners. In Losers he defeated Kameme in the run-back before falling to Nairo, placing at a slightly underwhelming 9th. 

At [https://smash.gg/tournament/smash-conference-lxviii/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/74072 Smash Conference LXVIII], Salem fell to {{Sm|Saj}} in Bayonetta dittos. He then made an extensive Losers run defeating {{Sm|Child}}, {{Sm|Rideae}}, {{Sm|LordMix}}, {{Sm|8BitMan}}, Saj  in a close rematch, and reset the bracket against {{Sm|Manny}} to win the tournament. Salem later returned to Michigan where he won [https://smash.gg/tournament/smashfield-weeklies-61/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/80875/254979 Smashfield Weeklies 61], defeating {{Sm|Ryuga}} before falling to {{Sm|Ally}} in Winners Finals, defeating Ryuga again in Losers Finals, and defeating Ally in both sets of Grand Finals. Two days later, he attended [https://smash.gg/tournament/rebirth-ix/events/wii-u-singles/brackets/70858 Rebirth IX], where he defeated {{Sm|smasher1001}} and {{Sm|LOE1}}, before falling to {{Sm|Zinoto}} in Winners Finals. He then defeated {{Sm|Rayquaza07}} in Losers Finals, reset the bracket against Zinoto, but ultimately lost in a close second set, placing 2nd.

Salem would next enter [[Olympus]], where he defeated 6WX to make Top 8. There, Salem defeated {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, but then fell to {{Sm|Tweek}} in Winners Finals. In Losers Finals, Salem defeated Larry Lurr again, then dominantly took both sets of Grand Finals to take 1st. At [[KTAR XIX]], he defeated {{Sm|Gomamugitya}} to make Top 48. In Top 48, he defeated {{Sm|False}} before losing to Tweek. In Losers, he defeated Zinoto, {{Sm|WaDi}}, {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, and {{Sm|MKLeo}} before falling to {{Sm|ZeRo}} in a run-back in Grand Finals. At [[UGC Smash Open]], Salem lost to {{Sm|ESAM}}, and entered Top 48 Losers. He then defeated {{Sm|Nero}} and {{Sm|Vinnie}}, before succumbing to {{Sm|Kameme}}, finishing at a disappointing 17th. To end the year, Salem entered [[2GGT: ZeRo Saga]], where he defeated Samsora to advance to Top 48. He was then defeated by {{Sm|Abadango}} and elimnated by {{Sm|Dabuz}}, falling at another 17th place. 

Beginning 2017, Salem took [[Smash Conference LXIX]], double eliminating Samsora in Winners Finals and Grand Finals. At [[GENESIS 4]], Salem cruised through Winners, defeating {{Sm|9B}}, before being upset by {{Sm|Elegant}}. In Losers, he defeated {{Sm|You3}} before being eliminated by {{Sm|ZeRo}}, placing 25th.

At [[Frostbite 2017]], Salem defeated {{Sm|Chrim Foish}} 2-0 and {{Sm|Rayquaza07}} 2-0 to make it out of pools. In bracket he defeated {{Sm|Komorikiri}} 3-2 and {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-1 before being upset by {{Sm|Tsu-}} 1-3 in winnners semis. In the losers bracket he was eliminated by Dabuz 0-3 and finished in 5th place.

At [[Frame Perfect Series 2]], Salem defeated {{Sm|SuperGirlKels}} 2-0 to make it out of pools winners side. In bracket he was defeated by {{Sm|Ranai}} 0-3 and sent to losers. In losers he defeated {{Sm|Kome}} 3-0, {{Sm|Earth}} 3-1 and {{Sm|ESAM}} 3-2 before losing to {{Sm|Dabuz}} 1-3 and finishing in 7th place. One week later at [[2GGC: Civil War]] Salem was upset by {{Sm|Shuton}} 0-3 in winners Top 96 and sent to losers. In losers he defeated {{Sm|Vinnie}} 3-0 before losing to {{Sm|Zinoto}} 0-3 and finishing at a disappointing 25th place.

At [[KTAR XX]], Salem was defeated by {{Sm|Tweek}} 2-3 in winners quarters and dropped into losers. He then defeated {{Sm|Light}} 3-1, {{Sm|6WX}} 3-0, and {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-1 in losers before once again falling to Tweek 2-3 and finishing in 4th place.

At [[CEO Dreamland]], Salem defeated {{Sm|Sharpyzard}} and {{Sm|Wormynugget}} 2-0 to make it out of pools. In bracket he lost to {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|ANTi}} 2-3 finishing in 17th place.

At [[2GGC: Nairo Saga]], Salem lost in an upset to {{Sm|JK}} in winners' semis of his pool. Following this, he went on one of the most extended losers runs in ''Smash 4'' history. After beating {{Sm|TLTC}} 2-0 and {{Sm|Horse}} 3-1 to make it out of his pool on losers' side, he defeated {{Sm|quiK}} 3-1, {{Sm|Twi}} 3-0, {{Sm|Mr. R}} 3-1, {{Sm|Tweek}} 3-2, and {{Sm|KEN}} 3-0 to make it into Top 8 losers' side. Once there, he defeated {{Sm|Elegant}} 3-1, {{Sm|Ally}} 3-1 in losers' quarters, {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-0 in losers' semis, and {{Sm|MKLeo}} 3-2 in losers' final, before falling to {{Sm|ZeRo}} in Grand Finals 2-3. In the process of the run, Salem defeated three of the top four seeds of the tournament, and at 2nd place, achieved the highest ever placement of a Bayonetta main at a supernational tournament until EVO 2017 a month later.

At [[CEO 2017]] , Salem lost 0-3 to Nairo in winners quarters, but defeated {{Sm|MVD}} 3-2 in losers to make top 8 and secure a match with MKLeo in losers top 8. Despite being up 2-1 against his opponent's main Cloud, MKLeo counterpicked Corrin against him, and won the next two games using her to defeat Salem 2-3 and eliminate him at 7th place.
===The rise===
At [[EVO 2017]], Salem lost to {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} in winners semis. Following this, he defeated {{Sm|KEN}} 2-0 in losers quarters, {{Sm|Tweek}} 2-1 in losers semis, and Larry Lurr 3-1 in losers finals to enter grand finals. Once there, he defeated ZeRo in two sets of grand finals (3-2 each) to win the largest tournament of the year, becoming the first Bayonetta to win a premier tournament. As a result, he is now considered the best Bayonetta player in the world, after briefly losing the title to {{Sm|CaptainZack}} during the beginning of the year.

At [[DreamHack Atlanta 2017]], Salem won in his pool to make top 64 winners. He then defeated {{Sm|ANTi}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} both 3-0 to enter top 8 winners. He lost to {{Sm|Tweek}} 1-3 in winners semis. In losers, he defeated ANTi again 3-0, Nairo again 3-1 and Tweek 3-1 in a runback. In grand finals, he faced {{Sm|VoiD}} where he defeated him 3-2 and 3-1 to win his second S-tier tournament (according to the Panda Global Rankings) in a row.

===Losing the title to Tweek===
In 2018, Salem got 3rd at [[GENESIS 5]] after losing to {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s Marth 0-3 and {{Sm|Mistake}} 0-3 in the Bayonetta ditto. At [[Frostbite 2018]], he was sent into top 24 losers after being defeated by {{Sm|Fatality}} 3-2, Salem then defeated {{Sm|Captain Zack}} 3-2, {{Sm|Shoyo James}} 3-2, and {{Sm|Tyroy}} 3-0 putting him in the losers side of top 8. Salem then defeated {{Sm|komorikiri}} 3-0 and defeated {{Sm|Fatality}} 3-1 after he sent Salem into losers. Salem's losers run finally ended when he was defeated by {{Sm|Tweek}} 1-3 in the Bayonetta ditto allowing him to place 4th.

Salem would later go on to [[Smash Masters League: Battle for Vegas]] where he ended up losing to {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|Fatality}} 2-3 earning him 9th place once again being outplaced by {{Sm|Tweek}} and {{Sm|Mistake}}. 

Salem later attended [[MomoCon 2018]]. There he defeated {{Sm|Wrath}} 3-0 and {{Sm|Mistake}} 3-2 in the Bayonetta ditto to advance into top 8 where he defeated {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-0 before losing to {{Sm|Tweek}} 0-3 in the Bayonetta ditto. After defeating {{Sm|komorikiri}} 3-2 in a very close set, he had another close set with {{Sm|Tweek}} but lost 3-2 ending his run at 2nd. 

In early June, he attended [[Smash 'N' Splash 4]]. He did not drop a single game in his pools which allowed him to qualify for top 64 winners where he defeated {{Sm|Gackt}} and {{Sm|Shoyo James}} in a dominant 3-0 fashion before having a close set with {{Sm|tyroy}} where he won 3-2 allowing him to move on to top 8 on the winners side. For the first time in a year, Salem managed to beat {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s Marth 3-0 dominantly. In Winners Finals, he barely lost to {{Sm|VoiD}} 2-3. Later on, he beat {{Sm|MkLeo}} once again in losers finals 3-1 before losing to {{Sm|VoiD}} again in Grand Finals 1-3 ending his fantastic run at 2nd place.

Salem's final two tournaments for season 5 of the PGR were at [[2GG: Hyrule Saga]] and [[CEO 2018]]. At Hyrule Saga, he defeated {{Sm|Darkshad}} 3-1 and {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-0 before losing to {{Sm|Tweek}} 0-3 and losing to {{Sm|MKLeo}} 1-3 after Leo was sent into losers early by {{Sm|zaki}}. This ended his run at 9th place. He had a simular run at [[CEO 2018]] where he defeated {{Sm|MVD}} 3-0 and {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 3-1 before losing to {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}} 0-3.

As a result of these placements, he ended up getting 5th on the PGR V5 while losing the title of the best Bayonetta to {{Sm|Tweek}} who got ranked 2nd.

===The remainder of Smash 4===
Salem's next tournament would be [[EVO 2018]] where he was sent into losers early by {{Sm|Mr E}}'s Lucina. He defeated {{Sm|Lea}} and {{Sm|Abadango}} 2-1, but he was eliminated by {{Sm|Ally}} ending his run at a disappointing 17th place (His lowest placement since [[CEO Dreamland]]).

Salem then went to [[Super Smash Con 2018]], he solidly cruised through pools and defeated {{Sm|SDX}} in top 32 winners before falling to {{Sm|Nairo}} 1-3, he then beat {{Sm|MagiMagi}} in a dominant 3-0 fashion before falling to {{Sm|Mistake}} ending his run at 7th place.

He then went on to win [[Shine 2018]] where he defeated {{Sm|ANTi}} 3-2, {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} 3-1, {{Sm|Tweek}} 3-2, and then double eliminated {{Sm|Mistake}} in winners and grand finals to take the tournament resulting in Salem's first tournament win of 2018.

At [[The Big House 8]], Salem was sent into losers by {{Sm|ESAM}} in winners quarters, although he was able to defeat {{Sm|8BitMan}} to get into top 8, he then lost to {{Sm|yeti}}'s Toon Link 0-3 at 7th place.

Salem's last Smash 4 tournament was At [[DreamHack Atlanta 2018]], he cruised through pools until he narrowly lost to VoiD in a last hit game 5 situation. Although he beat {{Sm|Karna}} 3-0. He narrowly lost to {{Sm|Wrath}} which ended up being his first loss ever versus a Sonic ending his run at 7th place.

==Playstyle==
Salem, along with Dabuz and Hungrybox, is notorious for his defensive playstyle in both Smash 4 and Ultimate, and having an aggressive item-based playstyle in Brawl. 

In ''[[Brawl]]'', Salem had a playstyle focused on racking up damage quickly with items that came from {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}'s power suit and to combo setups from [[Paralyzer]] and her down smash and to kill with her side special, [[Plasma Whip]].
In ''[[SSB4]]'', Salem played {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} and had a playstyle focused upon waiting patiently for the opponent to make a mistake, and to add on damage with [[Bullet Arts]] and [[Bullet Climax]]. However, if the opponent made a mistake and Salem could find an opening, he could take a stock within seconds due to Bayonetta's powerful combo game. It was akin to trying to defuse a time bomb, for if the opponent attempted to pressure Salem, he could take their stock, and if the opponent attempted to play defensively and out wait Salem, he would simply tack on damage until the opponent was forced to approach. 
In ''[[SSBU]]'', Salem's playstyle is dependent upon the placement of items as he played {{SSBU|Link}} and {{SSBU|Snake}}, with major focus upon Link's [[Remote Bomb]] and Snake's [[grenades]] and [[C4]]. With Link, Salem prioritizes stage control and traps, corralling the opponent into a situation where Salem has advantage and can press for control. With Snake, Salem is the most defensive of the current three top Snakes, being {{Sm|MVD}} and {{Sm|Ally}} and will wait constantly for a combo opportunity utilizing the grenades or to constantly hit and run until Salem can KO utilizing Snake's down throw into a read or into an up tilt. 
However, when put into a disadvantageous situation, Salem tends to rush his options and acts brashly, resulting in unoptimal decisions, which lead to him losing the lead. Salem works best when ahead, even slightly, and will push his advantage until his opponent mentally breaks and collapses, allowing Salem to take over.

==Controversy==
In early June 2020, amidst a wave of sexual harassment allegations in the community, {{Sm|CaptainZack}} came out with his testimony against {{Sm|Nairo}}. In the provided screenshots, Salem was seen encouraging CaptainZack to have sexual encounters with Nairo, and although his name was blocked out, people were able to confirm it was Salem through evidence in the conversation<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srabvk|title=Evidence against Salem}}</ref>. Following this reveal, Salem's sponsor MVG announced that they would provide him with professional help and give Salem some time for self-reassessment before allowing Salem to rejoin the team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/MVGLeague/status/1282044107796418560|title=MVG's statement}}</ref>. Sixth months later, MVG reevaluated Salem and decided to keep him on the roster after stating he has shown commitment to his self-reassessment.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/MVGLeague/status/1341198364252237824|title=MVG's reevaluation}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*Salem had never won any tournaments, locals included, prior to his [[Apex 2013]] victory; a similar scenario occurred at [[Apex 2012]], being the first tournament {{Sm|Otori}} ever won.
*For his victory in EVO 2017, the official twitter of PlatinumGames, the creator of the Bayonetta games, [https://twitter.com/platinumgames/status/887116134956244993 sent him congratulations] for winning with Bayonetta.
*Salem was recognized by Forbes in their "30 Under 30 - Games" 2018 list, with his EVO 2017 performance being featured.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/profile/saleem-young/|title=Forbes recognizes Salem in their "30 Under 30 - Games" 2018 list}}</ref>
**{{Sm|Hungrybox}} was similarly recognized for their "30 Under 30 - Games" 2017 list.
*Salem is controversially known to heavily dislike the ''Melee'' community, which has led to feuds between him and ''Melee'' players such as {{Sm|Leffen}}. Salem's statements "Melee is not part of the Smash community" and "years of research" have also become memes in the Smash community.
**Both Leffen and Salem were seeded to meet in bracket at multiple tournaments, but upsets or DQs often prevented them from meeting. They finally met in bracket at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, where Leffen beat Salem 2-1 in front of a large crowd.
**There was also controversy with him and retired ''Melee'' player, {{Sm|Armada}}, in which Salem did not shake his hand after he won 3-0 in their ''Ultimate'' bracket at {{Trn|Mainstage}}, a decision which many smashers viewed as unsportsmanlike.
