===''Melee''===
Isai in his prime was regarded as the best ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} player in the world. Although his placings at ''Melee'' singles tournaments lowered over time, he is one of the few players to have defeated former ''Melee'' world champion {{Sm|Ken}} multiple times.
Isai and Ken constituted ''El Chocolate Diablo'', the strongest doubles team in the world circa 2004-2006. El Chocolate Diablo remained undefeated in tournament sets until their loss to {{Sm|Taj}} and {{Sm|Forward}} at a Champ Combo tournament, and placed 1st at every tournament they entered until placing 2nd behind {{Sm|Azen}} and {{Sm|Chillin}} at [[MLG Chicago 2006]]. However, Isai and Ken would later win [[MLG Las Vegas 2006]], the final MLG National Championship for ''Melee'' teams in 2006. Following this win, El Chocolate Diablo became inactive for almost a year until their final appearance at [[Super Champ Combo]], where they placed 7th.

Despite his success, Isai gradually lost interest in ''Melee'' in 2007. In early 2010, Isai expressed [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=9339324#post9339324 interest] in playing ''Melee'' seriously again, but after smashing with {{Sm|Scar}} and entering a handful of tournaments, Isai still did not find it enjoyable anymore.

At Apex 2012, he was unexpectedly convinced by the crowd to play a ''Melee'' exhibition match against the other Smash veteran {{Sm|Captain Jack}}. However, he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfxNPkp67Q only sandbagged] and was 4-stocked, much to the audience's disappointment.

*He purchased ''Brawl'' but does not play it. ''Super Smash Bros.'' has always been Isai's preferred ''Smash Bros.'' game; he has been playing ''Smash 64'' since 1999 and [http://allisbrawl.com/forum/topic.aspx?id=11552 ''Smash 64'' online] since 2004.

*Isai often used the in-game tags "VI" and "MEL" in ''Melee''. In ''Super Smash Bros'', his YouTube video tag is "malva" if it is an online match or "Isai" if it is a console match. His nickname "malva" originates from his mother's Windows login name (she used the initial 'm' for her name plus a shortened version of her last name, Alvarado or 'alva').
