'''Kort''', also known in the Smash community as '''The Brazilian {{Sm|Isai}}''', is Ranked #1 on SSB64 in Brazil and undoubtedly considered the best {{SSB|Link}} player from South America and also the best Kirby in Brazil according to his twitter page. <ref name="reddit">[https://twitter.com/KortRedLink "Kort's reddit page"]</ref> Along with now currently #2 ranked Brazil player {{Sm|Banze}}, a popular pikachu player, they represent one of the strongest communities from South America that will be competing at [[GENESIS 3]] thanks to an online crowdfunding by generous donors who try to sponsor travel expenses for international players. <ref name="donations">[http://funding.onlinessb.com/ "A donation site for those entering GENESIS 3"]</ref>
'''Kort''' is a Brazilian ''[[Smash 64]]'' player, currently ranked 1st on the Brazilian 64 Power Rankings and formerly ranked 20th on the [[2018 64 League Rankings]]. He is considered the best {{SSB|Link}} player in South America. He has wins over {{Sm|tacos}} and {{Sm|Mariguas}}. Alongside Brazilian player {{Sm|Banze}}, he had his first appearance in a US major representing one of the strongest ''[[Smash 64]]'' communities from South America that competed at {{Trn|GENESIS 3}} thanks to an online crowdfunding campaign by generous donors. <ref name="donations">[http://funding.onlinessb.com/ "A donation site for those entering GENESIS 3"]</ref> . He also has an impressive performance at the {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}'s combo contest, where he placed 2nd.


He is known for utilizing and popularizing an edgeguarding technique called the black-cat setup/combo.<ref name="youtube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLEqW5gOSVA "The popularized black-cat setup by Kort"] </ref> The technique requires Link to throw a bomb on stage opposite to where the enemy is (preferably when the enemy is offstage), followed by a toss of a boomerang against the bomb, causing the boomerang to 1) ricochet flying in the opposite direction towards the enemy, 2) accelerate at a faster speed then the previous speed then initially thrown, and finally 3) will go through Link without causing Link to catch the boomerang, allowing for Link to reduce lag caused by the grab of a returning boomerang.

As a technical player, he utilizes a combination of skills such as [[Bomb recovery]], [[Invisibomb glitch]] and maintaining heavy chain attacks of up-air and up-tilts with great fluidity. Kort also mains a few top tier ssb characters as counter-picks when faced with any issues as a Link main.
As a technical player, he utilizes a combination of skills to maintain his offensive approaches with amazing fluidity.

==Trivia==
*[[GENESIS 3]] was the first time that Kort competed in a professional North American Region. Before he had only competed in local and majors that are only in Brazil.
*Currently Kort is inactive on Smashboard and is not officially part of a Power Ranking or Elo Rating list. Currently he has only a 1upsmash account, a Brazilian version of Smashboard.
*According to a Genesis 3 promo video, Kort started playing Smash 64 in 2012 <ref name="youtube2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcBFPirfY1U "Genesis promo video link"]</ref> With that, he began his first tournament starting in 2014.
