Joel Isai Alvarado, aka "Isai", is considered the World Champion of Super Smash Bros. and was ranked 7th best in the United States in Melee before he retired. He mains Pikachu and Kirby in Super Smash Bros. (his favorite characters are Link, Samus, Luigi, Fox, and Mario) and mained Captain Falcon, Fox, and Sheik in Melee. He was also ranked first on the NorCal Power Rankings. Having retired from Melee, Isai now plays Super Smash Bros. exclusively.
Isai in his prime was regarded as the best Melee Captain Falcon in the world. "Isai is too good" became a meme in the Smash community. Although his placings at Melee tournaments lowered over time, he is one of the few players to have defeated previous Melee World Champion Ken Hoang multiple times. Despite his success, Isai slowly lost interest in Melee; he purchased Brawl but was not entertained. Super Smash Bros. has always been Isai's preferred smash game.
Isai and Ken constituted El Chocolate Diablo, the strongest doubles team in the world circa 2004-2006. El Chocolate Diablo remained undefeated in tournament sets until their loss to Taj and Forward and placed 1st at every tournament they entered until placing 2nd behind Azen and Chillindude at MLG Chicago 2006. However, Isai and Ken would later win the final MLG National Championship for Melee teams in 2006. Following this win, they became inactive for almost a year until their final appearance at Super Champ Combo, where they placed 7th.
Isai often used the in-game tags "VI" and "MEL" in Melee. In Super Smash Bros, his YouTube video tag is "malva" if it is an online match or "Isai" if it is a console match.
