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.
Wes was interviewed for the competitive Smash documentary, The Smash Brothers, and appearing 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 vs. East Coast crew battles that were featured.
