Taj is an American smasher, internationally famous as a Mewtwo player, and creator of the combo video Shadowclaw. He is a prominent figure in the local smash scene and is currently ranked 2nd on the regional Arizona Power Rankings. Taj is also a moderator on Smash World Forums, responsible for the Pichu and Mewtwo Character Specific Forums.
ShadowClaw - A Mewtwo Combo Video
Although well-known locally, Taj's biggest impact on the global smash scene was his release of the Mewtwo combo video ShadowClaw.
The video illustrated professional Mewtwo play at a level not previously seen in wide distribution. Despite a few quiet claims to the contrary (and surprisingly little tangible evidence), he is now almost ubiquitously considered the best Mewtwo player in the world. Forward has since created a thread at Smash World Forums called Taj is the best Mewtwo, which has since become a hub for question-and-answer sessions for Mewtwo enthusiasts.
There is a sequel, titled ShadowClaw 2, which has since been completed and released.
Trivia
- Prior to the Champ Combo Tournament in April of 2006, the famous team of Ken & Isai had not been defeated on tournament grounds until Taj & Forward stepped in with the win.
- Despite his Mewtwo-related fame, Taj is still a realist about SSBM and recognizes that it pays to play higher tier characters in critical tournament match-ups.
