Delphiki is an Ice Climbers player from Rancho Cordova, CA who helped give rise to the crew Nova Complex. The name comes from the character of Julian Delphiki (not to be confused with J_DELPHIKI) of the parallel series of Ender's Shadow novels by Orson Scott Card. He is the younger brother of DRGN.
Characters
He mains Ice Climbers and Pichu, and occassionally uses an assortment of others.
His Ice Climbers style relies heavily on desynching, and he in fact desynchs much more than most other professional Ice Climber players. He has been quoted as saying "I main Popo, but my secondary is Nana."
Vids
It is rumored that Delphiki aims to produce a combo video showcasing his Ice Climbers.

Contributions
Delphiki has written a guide on competitive smash play which focuses on the fluidity and nature of the metagame. It explains the nature of the metagame as related to characters, tournament rules, the community, and the individual player. Also, most tournaments in the Sacramento Community are organized or co-organized by Delphiki. These tournaments include the Delphiki Games, the Sacramento Biweeklies, and Tyde's Manly Smashfests [1], which feature Nova Complex and many other players in the Sacramento Area. Delphiki is also a moderator/administrator on Nealdt's tia.
