NJzFinest is a decently well known competitivesmasher who is part of the East Coast, Midwest, and online community on Smash World Forums. NJzFinest was introduced to competitive smash in the summer of 2005, attending MLG PA without only a little bit of exposure to competitive smash. Since then, he was able to find other players in the NJ area and later attend fest and tournaments. When going to school at Purdue University, it didn't take long for him to become top contender there, however in the later years of college is when bboying (breakdancing) started to take a large part of his life. Because of the amount of dedication this art requires, it's hard for him to have time for smashbros ever since becoming part of the bboy community.
NJzFinest plays a few other games besides just Smashbros. He has a former world records in the MarioKart series; active member of the rank 1 and 2 Halo PC clans (M2K Clan and UGC Clan); 2-3k rated Resto Druid main on various servers/realms in World of Warcraft; Plat 1 S3 player in League of Legends; consistently placed top 6 in the Smogon Competitive Pokemon OU ladder in Diamond/Pearl and Black/White gens.
Despite starting off as a top Falco player in Brawl, he has lost most interest in the game as the Melee scene started it's revival. As of now NJzFinest plays Melee on occasion, going to nearby tournaments at Rutgers and Princeton University if it doesn't conflict with dancing.
