'''Vermanubis''' is a professional smasher from New Hampshire and currently residing in Oregon, noted for being one of the few pure {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} players in competitive ''[[Brawl]]'', and is often considered the best Ganondorf player in the United States, along with {{Sm|DLA}}. He is known for playing a patient, yet aggressive Ganondorf, with what is considered to be some of the best prediction and [[perfect shield]]ing skills. He is also known for being capable of utilizing the difficult [[Flight of Ganon]] and [[Flipman]] techniques in play.

As a person, Vermanubis is first noticed for his tall and imposing stature, towering over most other smashers while being incredibly built. He is also noted for his vast vocabulary, immense knowledge on several subjects (particularly music), and a strong grasp of diction, where he gained significant popularity in the Smash community from his well written and insightful [http://nintendodojo.com/blog.aspx?id=14094 blogs on NintendoDojo]. Being generally regarded as one of the most intelligent smashers, while being one of the more sociable and amicable smashers with no scandals in Smash or other life issues, Vermanubis has one of the most favorable reputations among the Smash community.
In 2011, Vermanubis moved to Oregon, where due to the lack of tournaments and general isolation, his tournament activity in ''Smash'' became mostly inactive. He continued to enter ''Brawl'' tournaments whenever possible and, despite playing significantly less, he still managed to place well.  


In 2011, Vermanubis moved to Oregon, where due to the lack of tournaments and general isolation, his tournament activity in Smash has become mostly inactive. He still enters ''Brawl'' tournaments whenever he can though, and despite playing significantly less, he still manages to place well in them.
Vermanubis continued to play {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} in ''[[Smash 4]]'', becoming perhaps the biggest threat in Idaho when he was active. Verm stayed with {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} in ''[[Ultimate]]'', though with {{SSBU|Simon}} to back up his old main, with Castlevania, one of his favorite game series, finally in ''Smash''.

Vermanubis is a professional smasher from New Hampshire and currently residing in Oregon, noted for being one of the few pure Ganondorf players in competitive Brawl, and is often considered the best Ganondorf player in the United States, along with DLA. He is known for playing a patient, yet aggressive Ganondorf, with what is considered to be some of the best prediction and perfect shielding skills. He is also known for being capable of utilizing the difficult Flight of Ganon and Flipman techniques in play.

In 2011, Vermanubis moved to Oregon, where due to the lack of tournaments and general isolation, his tournament activity in Smash became mostly inactive. He continued to enter Brawl tournaments whenever possible and, despite playing significantly less, he still managed to place well.

Vermanubis continued to play Ganondorf in Smash 4, becoming perhaps the biggest threat in Idaho when he was active. Verm stayed with Ganondorf in Ultimate, though with Simon to back up his old main, with Castlevania, one of his favorite game series, finally in Smash.
