'''Wes''', sometimes known as "DA Wes", is a New York [[Samus]] player, widely considered one of the best Samus players in the country. He has sometimes even been referred to as the "Father of Samus," inventing many of her tactics which are still used as of late. In Brawl/Brawl+, Wes mains Sonic and is one of the best Sonics in the state.
'''Wes''' is a ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Samus}} player from the Tristate region, and in the "golden" age of ''Melee'', was widely considered to be one of the best Samus players in the country along with {{Sm|HugS}}. He was often referred to as the "Father of Samus," inventing many of her tactics which are still used to this day.


Wes has been a top [[smasher]] since Melee's tournament birth.
Wes and his crew, [[Deadly Alliance]], proved to be nearly untouchable for some time in New York until the members of [[H2YL]] began hosting and attending tournaments. He was a top competitor during the 2003-2006 era, placing very well in tournaments with what many people considered a mid-tier character at the time. In the modern ''Melee'' metagame, Wes has been less prolific in attending tournaments, but still has relatively strong showings when he does attend.
 
==Playstyle and tournament activity==
Over the years, with an ever-changing metagame, Wes has managed to keep his skill levels up to compete with the best smashers around the U.S. What makes his accomplishment even more impressive is the fact that he has done so with a character, [[Samus]], who is a mid tier. With higher tier characters becoming more and more popular in today's competitive scene, his loyalty has always been to the armored star of the '''Metroid''' series. 
Nowadays Antoine doesn't travel to Out-of-State (OoS) tournaments as frequently as in his past. Sometimes he randomly shows up to an OoS tourney.


Wes also had a prominent role in the competitive ''Smash'' documentary, [[The Smash Brothers]], and appeared in several episodes. He mainly explained the origins of crew rivalries, especially in the first episode, and gave his input on certain controversial issues that had come up within the community during his time with the game. Several gameplay clips of him were also shown, primarily in the two West Coast v.s. East Coast crew battles that were featured.

Wes is a Melee Samus player from the Tristate region, and in the "golden" age of Melee, was widely considered to be one of the best Samus players in the country along with HugS. He was often referred to as the "Father of Samus," inventing many of her tactics which are still used to this day.

Wes and his crew, Deadly Alliance, proved to be nearly untouchable for some time in New York until the members of H2YL began hosting and attending tournaments. He was a top competitor during the 2003-2006 era, placing very well in tournaments with what many people considered a mid-tier character at the time. In the modern Melee metagame, Wes has been less prolific in attending tournaments, but still has relatively strong showings when he does attend.
