Forward is a very talented player from Arizona, who has gained popularity from playing one of the best Falcos in the country. Recently, however, he has impressed everyone with a technical Fox that can swing the country's best.
His name is based on Falco's forward B move phantasm. He used to suicide with the move so much he one day 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 giants like 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 he rode that momentum to Illinois where he won SMYM 7, and then to Tennesee where he won Innsomnia V as well. 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.
