Elegant has taken sets from players such as Tweek, Light, Shuton, ESAM, Cosmos, Samsora, Raito, and Abadango. He is currently ranked 8th on OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse North America, 14th on OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse, and 32nd on the Fall 2019 PGRU; he was also formerly ranked 2nd on the SoCal Ultimate Power Rankings.
Elegant is also a prominent SSB4 Luigi player who is considered as the best SSB4 Luigi player in the world. Elegant is currently ranked 5th on the SoCal All-Time Smash 4 Power Rankings and 27th on the Panda Global Rankings 100. He was formerly ranked at the 0 spot on the NorCal Smash 4 Power Rankings. He has taken sets off of top players such as Salem, Nairo, MkLeo, Ally, Larry Lurr, KEN, VoiD, and Mr.R.
He used to regularly team with Aarvark in doubles, and the pair was considered one of the best doubles teams in the world. More recently, he has shown great skill in Doubles with a variety of players, winning Get On My Level 2018 with SuperGirlKels, 2GG: Hyrule Saga with Stroder, Low Tier City 6 with Samsora, and The Big House 8 with Scend.
On March 22nd, 2017, both Elegant and Aarvark were signed by Beefy Smash Doods.[1] Over a year later, on April 13th, 2018, Elegant, along with fellow smashers Aarvark, quiK, and Izaw, parted ways with Beefy Smash Doods.[2] On May 31st, 2018, Elegant was sponsored by Unseen Gaming.[3] Sometime afterwards, he parted ways with Unseen. On July 12th, Elegant signed with Nevermore eSports.[4] On February 21st, 2020, Elegant announced that he had joined Armada eSports.[5]
Playstyle
Elegant's playstyle remains mostly the same from SSB4 to SSBU, and is highly characterized through his potent punish game, his quick movement, and unpredictable choices in neutral. He has a mastery of Luigi's combos and recovery, making use of his powerful grab and combo game, and offsetting the character's exploitable recovery by recovering in different and unusual ways. Due to the amount of combo starters Luigi has, Elegant uses these to frame trap and DI mixup his opponents, doing massive amounts of damage and potentially pulling a zero-to-death combo.
Elegant was also well known for his ability to button mash efficiently. This skill was especially evident in his ability to spike opponents with Luigi Cyclone in SSB4, which is only possible if the player mashes enough to make Luigi rise and prevent the attack's final hitbox from connecting. As Elegant was proficient as this technique, his edge guarding ability was on point, allowing him to gimp players at low percentages and make comebacks off of a single neutral win. Additionally, he would make great use of Luigi Cyclone to mix up his recovery, as his proficiency in mashing allowed him to gain significant height from the move. Although these effects were removed in Ultimate, effectively worsening the move by taking out its ability to gimp and removing its recovery potential, Elegant makes use of Luigi Cylone's newly added trait of having invincibility frames within the startup of the move to combo break his opponents, kill off the top of the stage, brute force his way through an opponent, or cover the ledge. Elegant also makes use of Luigi's newly added tether to create space between him and his opponent, start combos, and edgeguard.
Elegant is also known for his upper body shake he does before sets, which he has dubbed the, "Elegant Shake" which he claims gets rid of nerves he may have before a set.
