Play Style and Tournament Activity
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 Antoine 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...
