'''Delphiki''' is a professional {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} player from Sacramento, CA, and a member of the crews TeamScape and [[Nova]]. He has traveled and competed up and down the West Coast numerous times competing in ''Melee''. His tournament results consistently place him among the top 30% of Smashers on the West Coast. In Brawl, he continues to main the Ice Climbers, with the addition of {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}. Delphiki was ranked 16th on the [[NorCal Power Rankings|NorCal Melee Power Rankings]], and 2nd on the Sacramento Melee Power Rankings.

Delphiki has written a guide on competitive smash play which focuses on the fluidity and nature of the metagame.

'''Delphiki''' is an [[Ice Climbers]] player from Rancho Cordova, CA who recently helped give rise to the crew [[Nova Complex]]. He uses the monikers '''BEAN''' and '''DELF''' in play, with all three names stemming from the character of Julian Delphiki (not to be confused with [[J_DELPHIKI]]) in the parallel series of ''Ender's Shadow'' novels by Orson Scott Card. He is the younger brother of [[DRGN]]. It is a little known fact that Delphiki aims to be permitted into the Melee [[Back Room]].
In addition to guides, Delphiki also maintains a blog on All is Brawl which covers Smash theory among other topics.
 
== Characters ==
 
While he mains [[Ice Climbers]] and [[Pichu]], he also occasionally uses [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Link]].
 
 
His Climbers style relies heavily on desynching, and he in fact desynchs much more than most professional Ice Climber players. Once he was quoted as saying "I main Popo, but my secondary is Nana." He is also one of the top three NorCal [[Ice Climbers]], the other two being [[choknater]] and [[Sidefx]].
 
 
He has yet to make a name for himself in tournament play outside the Sacramento Area, but he is a regular attendant/organizer of local competitions. Also, he attends and co-organizes the [[Sacramento Biweeklies]], and hosts and organizes his own [[Delphiki Games]]. He attended [[NCT2]] but did not make it past pools due to time constraints.
 
== Vids ==
 
Delphiki's only [[:Category:Videos|videos]] to date, come from a Smashfest at [[TeamScape]] leader [[ender]]'s house on November 11th, 2006. It is rumored that Delphiki aims to produce a [[:Category:Combo Videos|combo video]] showcasing his [[Ice Climbers]].
