==Playstyle==
JChild is the highest-ranking Ness player in the [[South West England Power Rankings|South West of England]], and is notorious due to the annoyance factor of the character he plays and his playstyle, due to the use of [[PK Fire]], and the use of [[Back throw]] to kill, leading to the 'Ness Back throw' joke in Cornwall Smash. Overall, his playstyle heavily punishes mistakes, and constantly pressures the opponent.
There is no recorded example of him playing a character other than Ness at a tournament; he's expressed a dislike of {{SSBU|Lucas}} despite the characters' similarities.
<!--After Cornwall Clash takes place, the biggest tournament Cornwall ever has had, there will be VODs of him playing. I don't know how to convey that his playstyle is very intense, has little wasted movement, and punishes mistakes heavily-->

JChild is a British smasher who solo-mains Ness in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and plays Ganondorf casually. He is notable for being consistently 1st on the Cornwall PR, being consistently on the South West PR and being 3rd on the Smash 4 South West PR. He's won most South West Warzone events, in singles and doubles, and in the Smashabout event series, being Cornwall and Plymouth's main tournaments respectively. He is therefore known for his consistency, having a 91.58% set count, and an 82.75% game count[1].

Notable sets of his locally tend to be the ones he loses, due to the 'underdog' factor. For example, his loss to Lea at South West Warzone 5[2] which led to LKR making grand finals in his place, who then subsequently beat Lea, Cornwall's other top player, which was celebrated. Another notable set is his loss to Allios at Smashabout 4: Fresher's Week [3], which led to the local 'I got bopped by Allios and his Plant' copypasta, which is a number of Johns that he expressed to do with him being tired and the number of 'gimmicks' plant has. This set is also referenced a lot locally as he took his shirt off, which is oft-joked about. As a person, locally, he's known for being extremely good at the game, having a friendly rivalry with Lea, being strong, and generally nice to those he beats.
