He is currently ranked 1st on the MD/VA Ultimate Power Rankings, as well as 20th on the Fall 2019 PGRU.

In Smash 4, WaDi is an SSB4 Mewtwo main with a strong R.O.B. secondary, and is considered one of the best Mewtwo players (along with Abadango and SDX) and one of the best R.O.B. players in the world (along with 8BitMan and Raffi-X).

He has taken sets off of top players such as ZeRo, Nairo, Dabuz, Ally, Tweek, KEN, VoiD, komorikiri, ANTi, and CaptainZack.

On August 19th, 2016, WaDi was signed by Smash Studios. On January 3rd, 2017, WaDi announced his free agency. On January 19th, WaDi was then signed in by InControl Gaming.

He later left EMP eSports on January 3rd, 2018, becoming a free agent once again.

Trivia

• He is the younger brother of JeBB, an MD/VA Bayonetta and Lucas player who is currently ranked 10th on the MD/VA Smash 4 Power Rankings.
• In 2017, WaDi set the record for the most Smash 4 tournaments won at Xanadu, surpassing the record of 27 victories that was previously held by Boss.
• WaDi's gamer tag comes from his former mains Wario and R.O.B, and how Wario's name sounds like "Wadio" in-game.
  • Furthermore, the capitalization of the letters “W”, “D”, and “R” in his tag “WaDiRob” is in homage to his usage of Wario, King Dedede, and R.O.B. in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• Before his first match at the 2GG Championship, WaDi became engaged to his girlfriend and fellow MD/VA smasher, Cinnpie, proposing to her onstage. However, they called off the engagement on December 31st, 2019, but are still on amicable terms.
• WaDi shares his birthday with Mew2King.
