'''MICH''' is a Canadian [[smasher]] from Calgary, Alberta and retired member of the [[Pro Impact Players]]. He is best known as the proprietor of [[Desynching|continuous desync]] upon his 2006 release of the [[Ice Climbers]] instructional video ''[[Two Climbers, Two Hands]].'' His last competitive performance in [[Melee]] occurred in [[crew battles]] and [[doubles]] events during [[At Melee's End]] in late 2007.


==Background==
'''MICH''' is a Canadian [[smasher]] from Calgary, Alberta and retired member of the [[Pro Impact Players]]. He is best known as the proprietor of [[Desynching#Continuous desynch|continuous desynch]] upon his 2006 release of the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} instructional video ''{{YouTube|zQ3DzHTdwTA|Two Climbers, Two Hands}}.'' His last competitive performance in ''[[Melee]]'' occurred in [[crew battles]] and [[doubles]] events during [[At Melee's End]] in late 2007.
Long before first appearing on the competitive scene at [[Teh Fair]]'s first [[Central Alberta Smash Tournament]] in Red Deer, MICH was a [[Falco]] [[main]] for many years and has played the game since its release with members of the [[Pro Impact Players]], well before they were known under that name competitively. MICH was a strong competitor in the [[Pro Impact BI-WEEKLY Smash|bi-weekly tournaments]] hosted by the crew, having consistently placed in the upper bracket.


Drawing inspiration from [[Ice Climbers]] players such as [[nealdt]] and [[Chu Dat]], MICH released an instructional video in July 2006 titled ''Two Climbers, Two Hands''. The video demonstrates a technique dubbed "continuous desync" and offers an advanced take on what can be done with the Climbers by stretching the limits of [[desynchronization]]. Due to its extreme difficulty (and general impracticality brought on by the advantages of [[chaingrabbing]]), the full breadth and potential of these techniques was never fully explored or implemented by a competitive Ice Climbers player.

===Tournament History===
==External links==
Towards the end of SSBM's competitive life, MICH was perhaps the only legitimate Ice Climbers main in western Canada and because of this, he garnered a distinction among players automatically without a great deal of actual [[tournament]] activity. He first competed at the original [[Central Alberta Smash Tournament]] (CAST) event in Red Deer, ultimately eliminated by [[FastFox]] in loser's bracket semi-finals for a fifth place finish. MICH later attended the second CAST tournament, [[CT3]] in Edmonton and periodically appeared at [[Pro Impact BI-WEEKLY Smash]].
'''[[SmashBoards]]'''
 
Although he consistently placed well both locally and inter-regionally, he lost the flare for competitive [[singles]] and essentially stopped playing one-on-one matches entirely towards the end--ultimately not even playing in the singles event for [[At Melee's End - Pro Impact CCSC Championship]], the major tournament that carried the name of his very own crew.
