Freedom From Tiers' Hyper (formerly named RiskN) is an Oregonian smasher, considered one of the best in the state. Debuting as a top Sonic player in Brawl, he has made his way into various other Smash titles, notably Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where he is once again a top smasher in his state, along with fellow FFT members Drugged Villager and Delta. Creator of the Freedom From Tiers' crew, he holds the unpopular opinion that tiers do not dictate a character's viability. This is often reflected in his choices of mains, perhaps most notably his breakout character, Sonic. He has a Youtube channel known as "Turnabout Gaming", which is actually his second channel, after complications led to the deletion of the first Turnabout Gaming. The Oregon local tournament series, Oregon's Finest, is owned by Hyper.

Despite being the founder and overall leader of Freedom From Tiers, contradictory to his team's name, in every Smash game, Hyper has at least one top/high tier character in his roster; in Smash 64, his sole main is Fox, an A tier character. In Melee, one of his mains is Falco, an S tier character, and in Brawl, he uses both Falco and Meta Knight, A tier and S tier characters, respectively. While there is no tier list for Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Sonic and Shiek are considered high tier/top tier respectively. These mains have led some of his team members to question the legitimacy of his presence as a "true" FFT member, let alone team leader. However, he later defended his position by justifying his usage of other, mid-low tiered characters in most of his main games; for instance, despite using Falco as one of his three mains, Sonic is still his most used, and by far his best. And even then, one could argue that despite Sonic being considered high tier, he uses him (along with lower tiered characters such as Lucina and Falco) against the top tiers frequently instead of fully switching to a top character.

Humorously, Hyper nicknames his Smash 4 mains.
