'''Spin-Dash''' (born September 5, 1989) is a Canadian smasher from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He mains with [[Link (SSBM)|Link]], leaving [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Ganondorf]] and [[Marth (SSBM)|Marth]] to fall back to as his secondaries. He once insisted to main as [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]] previous to [[At Melee's End]], before recieving an eye opener courtesy of [[FalseFalco]] and many others first-hand; he has not regretted his decision to main as Link since.

In ''Melee'', he mained {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} with a {{SSBM|Link}} secondary, while in ''Brawl'', a game for which he had decent regional results, he mained {{SSBB|Sonic}}. He was once ranked 9th on the ''Brawl'' [[Alberta Power Rankings]].
 
While not as active in the competitive Albertan community as others, he has shown a great amount of potential and only continues to grow in skill and establishing a name for himself.
 
Spin-Dash is a member of [[The n00b School Bus]].
 
== Tournament Activity ==
While having practiced advanced techniques and competitive gameplay since mid-2006, Spin-Dash has not had the convenience of being close enough to other competitive Smashers due to residing in Spruce Grove, Alberta (a mere 10 minutes outside of Edmonton to which he associates himself with regardless), coupled with a lack of transportation, currently. This in turn has caused him to resort to computers as opponents and the occasional player in his town.
 
Spin-Dash's first tournament experience was in the year of 2007 at Animethon XIV, his Singles record lost in the midst of gameplay. His Doubles performance showed to be more potent, forming the temporary team of Star Fox with [[Fox (SSBM)|Fox]] as a former main. Advancing to the finals, his run would end when playing [[Stevo]], a professional in the Canadian Smash Bros. community; here was where Spin-Dash obtained his first glimpse into what higher competition truly held for him.
 
Hitting the large tournament scene officially during [[At Melee's End]], Spin-Dash proved himself to be a moderately impressive newcomer, easily adapting to the amplified atmosphere that the tournament provided while surprising the competition, which in turn allowed for a significant degree of improvement in his skill by the end of the tournament.


While generally lacking in the diversity that [[At Melee's End]]'s roster of players provided, Spin-Dash nonetheless attended the Western Canadian Championships' first day to compete in the Doubles competition; forming the Blind Walruses once more with his partner of the previous tournament, [[Frio]], they would prove to be an overall improved duo, clenching 4th place in the competitive crowd to establish a substantial amount of development in their overall skill.
