'''Southpaw''', also known as '''Lord Southpawington the III of the 25th Bloodline''', is a [[smasher]] from Santa Clarita, California who resides in Paw Manor. He [[mains]] {{SSBB|Toon Link}}. He is generally considered to be one of the coolest and chillest ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' players from coast to coast, with consistent drowning in nationals since 2009. He holds the distinction of being seeded last in pools even though his record reflects otherwise. He is currently considered the fifth best Toon Link player in the world behind CodyKnight, also known as {{Sm|Quest}}, a New England Smasher. (Contrary to Quest's most recent tag change, he claims to be a Toon Link main). Despite being considered one of the best guitar players in the history of ''Brawl'', Southpaw hates jam sessions and prefers to just kick back. He is also a known as a top osu! player and consistently trains with fellow comrades.
