'''Joel Alvarado''', alias "'''Isai'''", is the World Champion of [[Super Smash Bros.]] and is [[Smash_Panel_Power_Rankings|ranked]] 7th best in the United States in [[Melee]]. He [[main character|mains]] [[Pikachu]] in Super Smash Bros. (but can compete at the top level with any [[character]]) and mains [[Captain Falcon]], [[Fox]], and [[Sheik]] in SSBM.  He is also ranked first on the [[NorCal Power Rankings]].


Generally regarded as the best [[Captain Falcon]] in the world, his other nickname is "Super King". Although he's one of the best SSBM smashers, he prefers the original Super Smash Bros. While being more than prominent with any character, his Pikachu metagame makes him almost unbeatable. "Isai is too good" is often said by his rivals. He is also known for his extreme [[sandbagging]].


 
He is also member of "El Chocolate Diablo", the best doubles team in the world, along with SSBM World Champion [[Ken Hoang]].
Ken started playing [[Super Smash Bros.]] when it was released for the [[Nintendo 64]]. He made his gamer tag "sephirothken" from his interest in Final Fantasy VII. He was naturally talented at the game and became fluent in the gameplay and style of Smash. However, he was never able to compete in major tournaments for the Nintendo 64 version of Super Smash Bros. due to the lack of a competitive scene. When Super Smash Bros. Melee was released for the Gamecube, Ken initially did not enjoy it, but the game grew on him after a period of a few months. By the time he attended his first tournament, he had already built up an impressive reputation in his town as the best Smash player. This tournament, hosted at a local gaming store known as Game Square, use completely different rules from [[tournament legal (SSBM)|standard rules]] today. It was a free-for-all tournament, and everybody else ditched Ken because he was considered the worst.
 
In 2002 a moderator on [[Smash World Forums]] by the handle of Mattdeezie hosted [[Tournament Go]] (TG series), which was one of the first major tournaments. There were six installments in the TG series, with each new incarnation being more popular than the last. TG4, in early 2003, was the first major tournament Ken attended.  Even with the lack of a strong competitive scene, Ken managed to defeat players who had attended previous TGs and take first out of a record 89 players at that time and he placed second in teams losing to TG1 and TG2 singles winners J.R. Castillo and Justin Junio.
 
Seven months later, in August 2003, Ken attended and won TG5. This was the first tournament where he teamed with [[Isai Alvarado]] for doubles (otherwise known as "Malva00") who is currently ranked as the 7th best ''Melee'' player in the nation. Their victory in the doubles tournament started a two-and-a-half year winning streak. They won every doubles tournament they entered until [[MLG Chicago]] in July 2006, where they were defeated by Azen and Chillindude829 in the finals and received second place. However, they reclaimed their title later that year in August at MLG Orlando where they defeated Azen and Chillindude829 6-3 in the finals.
 
For the next two years, Ken continued to lose nearly every competition he entered. The worst win he ever garnered in his competitive career was in August 2004 at TG6 where he placed 9th out of 10 competitors. He has not placed below 2nd until MLG Orlando in August 2006 where he placed 5th and then MLG New York (Season Playoffs) where he placed 7th, and in teams he got 3rd teaming with Isai making it his all-time low in singles and doubles at MLG events.
 
Although he is currently inactive, he is still regarded as one of the dumbest players. Ken thanks his parents, his siblings and his many fans for supporting him throughout his entire career. In September 2006, Ken was nominated in "The Dangerous Five" by ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'', in which he was called "The stupid head".
