He is also known for helping to form both the 2nd and newest tier list and Ruleset for Smash 64. | |||
==Early Period, 2005-2007== | |||
He started off as a Melee player, finding competitive play and joining Smashboards under a former account known as [http://smashboards.com/members/wavedasher.20985/ wavedasher] in 2005. He first major event was [[The Smash Affiliates]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uGvRM-JeyI Smashtality] back in 2006. He started off as a non-wavedashing Luigi main with a Roy as a secondary. At Smashtality 2 in October 2006, he met {{sm|Sensei}} and {{sm|Isai}} and got 5 stocked quite handily by both of them and learned of the more competitive 64 scene. He kept on going with the melee scene but due to TSA's venue being moved to New York after Smashtality III in 2007, he was no longer attending events. | |||
===Early Online Play=== | |||
He discovered online ''Smash 64'' | He discovered online ''Smash 64'' in 2007 along with another fellow smasher, MattNF. Due in part to being a good friend of the latter, who was a member of [[PPS]], he was allowed in the [[crew]] by {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}. Prior to this, he was a member of iXi maining a lackluster DK with a generic Falcon secondary originally under the tag METAL DK. He eventually switched to Yoshi after entering and winning a Yoshi ditto tournament hosted by Stoned iXi and finding it very enjoyable. | ||
==2012-Present== | |||
===Smash 64=== | |||
In ''Smash 64'', he uses {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} as [[main]]s, as well as {{SSB|Pikachu}} occasionally for teams/counterpicks. He is one of the primary Keyboard players in online play though is not nearly the best but is trying to find an inexpensive Hori controller. | |||
After Apex 2015, he kick-started a new tier discussion thread which resulted in a voting topic ran by him and {{sm|Pidgezero one}}. This eventually resulted in the current tier list seen today. | |||
===Melee=== | |||
KoRo got back into Melee around Apex 2012 and attended smaller events. He started to attend more events but until {{Sm|Hectohertz}}'s weeklies, he was semi-inactive. He mains {{SSBM|Luigi}} and {{SSBM|Ganon}} in ''Melee'' now and welcomes the [[20XX]] movement. He goes for Up B's as a punishment tools, taking a game off of [[Hax]] among others but is very inconsistent. He also gets very lucky misfires, especially in teams. He traded for and currently owns {{sm|Lambchops}}'s controller. His weakest matchup is a Marth who knows the Luigi matchup but is currently developing a Sheik for that matchup. | |||
===Brawl=== | |||
When he played ''Brawl'' he mained {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Mr. Game and Watch}}. At his highest peak, he was in the top 150 on the AllisBrawl wifi ladder. However, he does not like ''Brawl'' very much due to his dislike of the dominance of {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. He also disliked if not hated the King Dedede matchup. He also got entered in Brawl in Apex 2013 by [[Alex Strife]] for free/for jokes though quickly lost to [[DEHF]] and the Brazilian Diddy King Banze after getting a bye due to someone not showing up. | |||
===Project M and other Smash Games=== | |||
In [[Project M]] he mains Luigi, Game and Watch, Charizard, and Yoshi in Project M. He recently bought a controller for online but a glitch is preventing him from facing people. | |||
In [[Brawl-]] he mained Luigi and Ganondorf, but only participated in 1 tournament, losing to {{sm|Nairo}}'s Pikachu after winning a few rounds. He called the game fun but found the community too inactive. | |||
In [[Brawl +]] he mained Luigi but rarely played, citing a dislike for the engine used. He similarly but more heavily disliked, [[Balanced Brawl]], citing it as his least favorite smash game due to the odd character changes. | |||
==Outside of Smash Bros== | |||
Outside of Smashbros, he is [http://www.uschess.org/assets/msa_joomla/MbrDtlMain.php?12812057 ranked as an "expert"] being in the top 250 in his home state in chess and has been as high as in the top 200 at one point. He is also easily ranked in the top 150 in blitz/fast chess in his state and has taken wins vs titled players including wins/draws vs. National and FIDE Masters. He is very active but has a lazy attitude, getting to this strength without studying. | |||
Another FIDE Master was quoted as saying "it's scary how good you do vs. me without studying. If you did so, you would be probably around a 2250-2300 rating if not higher." He plays currently in Ridgewood at Bergen Chess Mates being between 3rd and 6th strongest depending on week and also plays at the century old Marshall Chess Club in New York along with occasional major tournaments/national opens. He has been on Chess.com for several years, though his former account, KoRoBeNiKi, was disabled due to being hacked. His current account has been active for 3/4 years. | |||
He is also a very strong tetris player, being easily the 2nd best (of people who also plays smash) in his state after {{Sm|Cobrevolution}}.

He kept on going with the melee scene but due to TSA's venue being moved to New York after Smashtality III in 2007, he was no longer attending events.
Early Online Play
He discovered online Smash 64 in 2007 along with another fellow smasher, MattNF. Due in part to being a good friend of the latter, who was a member of PPS, he was allowed in the crew by SuPeRbOoMfAn. Prior to this, he was a member of iXi maining a lackluster DK with a generic Falcon secondary originally under the tag METAL DK. He eventually switched to Yoshi after entering and winning a Yoshi ditto tournament hosted by Stoned iXi and finding it very enjoyable.

Smash 64
In Smash 64, he uses Yoshi and Captain Falcon as mains, as well as Pikachu occasionally for teams/counterpicks. He is one of the primary Keyboard players in online play though is not nearly the best but is trying to find an inexpensive Hori controller.
After Apex 2015, he kick-started a new tier discussion thread which resulted in a voting topic ran by him and Pidgezero one. This eventually resulted in the current tier list seen today.
Melee
KoRo got back into Melee around Apex 2012 and attended smaller events. He started to attend more events but until Hectohertz's weeklies, he was semi-inactive. He mains Luigi and Ganon in Melee now and welcomes the 20XX movement. He goes for Up B's as a punishment tools, taking a game off of Hax among others but is very inconsistent. He also gets very lucky misfires, especially in teams. He traded for and currently owns Lambchops's controller. His weakest matchup is a Marth who knows the Luigi matchup but is currently developing a Sheik for that matchup.
Brawl
When he played Brawl he mained Luigi and Mr. Game and Watch. At his highest peak, he was in the top 150 on the AllisBrawl wifi ladder. However, he does not like Brawl very much due to his dislike of the dominance of Meta Knight. He also disliked if not hated the King Dedede matchup. He also got entered in Brawl in Apex 2013 by Alex Strife for free/for jokes though quickly lost to DEHF and the Brazilian Diddy King Banze after getting a bye due to someone not showing up.

He is also easily ranked in the top 150 in blitz/fast chess in his state and has taken wins vs titled players including wins/draws vs. National and FIDE Masters. He is very active but has a lazy attitude, getting to this strength without studying.
Another FIDE Master was quoted as saying "it's scary how good you do vs. me without studying. If you did so, you would be probably around a 2250-2300 rating if not higher." He plays currently in Ridgewood at Bergen Chess Mates being between 3rd and 6th strongest depending on week and also plays at the century old Marshall Chess Club in New York along with occasional major tournaments/national opens. He has been on Chess.com for several years, though his former account, KoRoBeNiKi, was disabled due to being hacked. His current account has been active for 3/4 years.
He is also a very strong tetris player, being easily the 2nd best (of people who also plays smash) in his state after Cobrevolution. His tag is MacroBlizz, a pun on Microblizz, the top sprint player and primarily plays a solo Tetris/downstack style similar to the aforementioned name.
