Spin-Dash is a Canadian smasher from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He mains with Link, leaving Ganondorf and Falco to fall back to as his secondaries. He once insisted to main as Fox previous to At Melee's End, before recieving an eye opener courtesy of FalseFalco and many others first-hand; he has not regretted his decision to main as Link since.
Spin-Dash is a member of The n00b School Bus.
Tournament Activity
While having practiced advanced techniques and competitive gameplay since mid-2006, Spin-Dash has not had the convenience of being close enough to other competitive Smashers due to residing in Spruce Grove, Alberta (a mere 10 minutes outside of Edmonton to which he associates himself with regardless), coupled with a lack of transportation, currently. This in turn has caused him to resort to computers as opponents and the occasional player in his town.
Spin-Dash's first tournament experience was in the year of 2007 at Animethon XIV, his Singles record lost in the midst of gameplay. His Doubles performance showed to be more potent, forming the temporary team of Star Fox with Fox as a former main. Advancing to the finals, his run would end when playing Stevo, a professional in the Canadian Smash Bros. community; here was where Spin-Dash obtained his first glimpse into what higher competition truly held for him.
Hitting the large tournament scene officially during At Melee's End, Spin-Dash proved himself to be a moderately impressive newcomer, easily adapting to the amplified atmosphere that the tournament provided while surprising the competition, which in turn allowed for a significant degree of improvement in his skill by the end of the tournament.
