Smasher:ProtoBanham: Difference between revisions

Throughout ProtoBanham's career, health problems have plagued him. For example, ProtoBanham had to drop out of {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} to treat his kidney stones, and due to the kidney stones he has to use the bathroom frequently, which has led some commentators and players to incorrectly believe ProtoBanham was "icing" the opponent out. His health issues were most apparent in 2023: it became common for him to throw up every five or ten minutes, and there were times where ProtoBanham had to go to the hospital during a tournament. As such, ProtoBanham's activity declined sharply and he appeared at a total of four events. His tournament performances as these events were roughly the same as they were in the previous year: his worst performance was in Japan, where he placed 25th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 11}} losing to {{Sm|Flow|p=France}} and {{Sm|Yaura}}, while his best performance was at the overseas event {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Tweek}} and {{Sm|Riddles}} to place 5th. Still, health issues prevented him from traveling further and although he initially accepted the invite, ProtoBanham was forced to drop out of {{Trn|Watch The Throne}}. Because of his low activity, ProtoBanham was only ranked as an honorable mention on the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]] and the [[LumiRank 2023]], with player point data implying ProtoBanham would have been ranked between 11th and 15th on the mid-year ranking and between 16th and 20th on the full-year ranking.
