Wes is a New York-based Samus player, widely considered one of the best Samus players in the country, inspiring future greats such as HugS and Oro. He has sometimes even been referred to as the "Father of Samus," inventing many of her tactics which are still used as of late.
Wes has been a top smasher since Melee's tournament birth. Starting his reign in his own hometown, with victories in the B.I.N. (Best In New York) tourneys of old.
Smashers who have been "9 stocked", or beaten badly by Wes have been almost obsessed with getting better. So that hopefully one day they could do the same thing back to him.
The list of vengeance seekers include
- Azen (yes!! hard to believe but he wasn't always on top)
- IK GOST (a.k.a. DA Dave)
- P.C. Chris
- Zanguzen
The Players noted above got their revenge sooner than others...
Over the years, with an ever-changing metagame, Wes has managed to keep his skill levels up to compete with the best smashers around the U.S.
What makes his accomplishment even more impressive is the fact that he has done so with a character, Samus, who is a mid tier. With higher tier characters becoming more and more popular in today's competitive scene, his loyalty has always been to the armored star of the Metroid series.
Aside from being a talented smasher, Wes' sense of humor has made many people wait to hear what he'll say next at tournaments. Also saying he is a "trash talker" is an understatement. He's been known to use various taunts in and outside of the game to get in the psyche of his opponents.
Nowadays Antione doesn't travel to Out-of-State (OoS) tournaments as frequently as in his past. Sometimes he randomly shows up to an OoS tourney here and there...

- New York
- New Jersey
