'''Thor''' is a [[smasher]] from Minnesota, considered to be one of the state's best overall ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash]]'' players. He [[main|mains]] [[Link]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Project M]]'', {{SSBB|Pikachu}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Pikachu}} in {{forwiiu}}, and {{SSBU|Cloud}} in ''[[Ultimate]]''. 

After beginning playing smash competitively as a high schooler in 2013, Thor has attended multiple different universities across the United States while pursuing a postgraduate degree. This has led him to be ranked across three different ''Smash'' titles and ''Project M'' not only [[Minnesota Power Rankings|in his home state of Minnesota]], but also [[Arizona Power Rankings|in Arizona]], as well as having multiple first place finishes at the {{Trn|House of Paign}} tournament series in Illinois.

He notably placed 4th at {{Trn|Ascension IX}} and defeated {{Sm|BassMage}}, {{Sm|Junior Z}}, {{Sm|Silver|p=Arizona}}, and {{Sm|JumboJack}} in the process. Other notable wins outside of ''Ultimate'' include {{Sm|Zamu}} and {{Sm|Nakamaman}} in ''Melee'', {{Sm|Amanze}} and {{Sm|Connor}} in ''Project M'' and {{Sm|yeti}} and {{Sm|Anonymous Moniker}} in ''Smash 4''.
