'''Dan Salvato''', | '''Dan Salvato''', previously known as '''Internet Explorer''', is a former professional smasher from New Jersey. He was known as one of the best ''Melee'' Link players in the United States, and was also considered one of the best ''[[Project M]]'' {{PM|Link}} players in the world. He is known for his high technical precision and development of a new Link metagame. He was one of the founding members of [[Rutgers Maylay]] as an undergraduate. Salvato was also a developer on the ''Project M'' Development Team and he is currently the lead developer of [[20XX Tournament Edition]]. | ||
Dan Salvato retired from playing ''Smash'' in 2015, though he has infrequently attended tournaments for ''Melee'' since, still using Link; he has since continued to work on ''20XX Tournament Edition'', adding in additional features such as [[Universal Controller Fix]]. | |||
Outside of ''Smash'', he is best known as the creator of ''{{s|wikipedia|Doki Doki Literature Club!}}'', a 2017 visual novel that quickly gained mass popularity upon release. | |||
