Dire is a professional smasher who lives in the NY area. He tends to be at any tournament as long as it's in that area. He uses several characters, typically ones that are not expected to win, such as Game and Watch, or Yoshi. He plays pretty well, I'm sure he's won plenty of tournaments. Game and Watch seems to be his main character. It is rumored that he uses the spiritual power of a unicorn to fuel his matches, often leading him to an easy victory.

'''DireOnFire''', formerly known as '''DireVulcan''', is an American professional [[smasher]] who lives in New York state and generally attends any tournaments in the area. He uses a wide variety of characters, typically ones that are not expected to win. He is known for his mindgames and an un-canny knack for catching the "9-hammer" consistently in tournament, once catching it back to back in a now infamous 4 stock in the final match against Virginia Falco player Nick in Grand Finals.
 
Dire's primary claim to fame within the Smash community came about as a result of his [[Mr. Game & Watch]] play, though he has also written a guide to [[Mario]], and next to {{sm|Fumi}}, the best Yoshi player, being extremely technical with him.
 
Dire has recently retired [[Mr. Game & Watch]] locally, and now plays [[Yoshi]] in New York.
 
He was a commentator for [[Pound 2016]] Smash 4 singles and doubles.  
 
He had a notable performance in ''[[Smash 4]]'' at [[KTAR XVIII]] where he defeated {{Sm|Nairo}}, sending him to Losers in Round 1 of the Top 32.
