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. Most tournaments in the Sacramento Community are organized or co-organized by Delphiki.
In addition to hosting his own tournaments, Delphiki was a staff member at Super Champ Combo, and has aided TOs at a number of other major tournaments, including OC3 (for which he aided with funding), and the NorCal Ultimate Biweekly.
In the months preceding OC3, Delphiki received criticism for excessively driving other NorCal residents for donations to the tournament. Following this Delphiki somewhat receded from active community efforts, but continues to aid tournament organizers and gives constant advice to many other members.
