'''Ice''' is a German [[smasher]] located in the Berlin area. He is a major competitor in German tournaments, but has gone international and made strong impacts; his most notable showings were a 7th place finish at [[EVO 2013]] and [[GENESIS 3]] and 3rd at [[The Big House 6]], the latter being his best performance at an international tournament so far. He was considered to be one of the best ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Sheik}} mains in the world along with {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, and {{Sm|Overtriforce}} before his switch to {{SSBM|Fox}}. He is known for his prowess in the Fox, Marth, and Sheik matchups, and has taken sets off of top professionals such as {{Sm|Zhu}}, {{Sm|Hax}}, Overtriforce, {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Westballz}}, and even {{Sm|Leffen}} in Fox [[Ditto match|dittos]] in tournament. Ice is currently ranked 1st on the [[German Melee Power Rankings]], 4th on the [[European Melee Power Rankings]], and 28th in the world on the [[2017 SSBMRank]].

Informally known as the "European {{Sm|Mew2King}}", Ice is one of the top Fox mains in the world, and used to be one of the best Sheik and Marth mains in Europe. Between all of his characters, Ice is extremely smooth and consistent in his [[tech skill]], rarely missing inputs or SDing. As Sheik and Marth, Ice is known for creative and lethal punishes, solid movement, consistent edgeguards, and proficient [[tech chase]]s and [[chaingrab]]s. Ice's Sheik in particular was much more aggressive than those of other Sheik mains, as he frequently opted for dash attack and down tilt reads that would lead into highly damaging strings. As Fox, Ice retains his powerful punishes, edgeguarding, and general aggression, but also showcases his extremely high technical proficiency to the fullest extent, especially with [[shine]] and aerial pressure on the opponent's shield. He has also one of the best tech reactions in the game, as pointed out by {{Sm|TheCrimsonBlur}} at [[The Big House 6]] (he called Ice "The Best Techer in Smash").
