Forward is a smasher from Arizona, who at one time was one of the best Melee Falcos in the country. He is ranked 3rd on the Arizona Melee Power Rankings.
His name is based on Falco's forward B move, Falco Phantasm. He used to suicide with the move so much that he once came up with the name "Sean 'Forward' B".
During March of 2006, Forward embarked on a sort of "5 month smash tour" of the United States. Starting with Cataclysm 3, he just roamed from tournament to tournament, all across the United States, without a ticket home. He placed only 5th at Cataclysm 3, where players such as KoreanDJ, Mew2King, and PC Chris kept him from making any money. However, Forward made his way down to Virginia, where he won a tournament there, and then rode that momentum to Illinois where he won SMYM 7, and then to Tennesee where he won Innsomnia V as well. He is famous for the combo video "Forward's C.O.C.K" (Combos On Colorado Kids) produced by Chap. At OC3, Forward gave his controller to Bombsoldier and announced his retirement, but he still plays and goes to tournaments on occasion. Forward has influenced the Falco metagame, and traces of his style can be seen in nearly every top Falco player. Most notable is his creation of the aerial shine into platform waveland combo starter.
He attends Arizona tournaments and trains the new breed of players.
