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 one of the best Link players in the world , also really strong with the whole cast, specially with his Donkey Kong, Fox, Yoshi, Pikachu, Jigglypuff and more characters in which he maintains a heavy tech skill based game play being also considered one of the fastest players in the community . Kort was able to take tournament sets from notable players as Tacos and Mariguas, and tournament games from players as Wizzrobe, Kerokeroppi, Stranded, and Revan . [1] Alongside Brazilian player Banze, he did his first appearance in a US major representing one of the strongest Smash 64 communities from South America that competed at GENESIS 3 thanks to an online crowdfunding campaign by generous donors. [2] . He also has attended to majors as Smash n' Splash, Low Tier City, The Big House, Get on My Level and Smash Con in which he did some beautiful presentations during the SSC 64 Combo Contest
He is known for utilizing and popularizing an edgeguarding technique called the black-cat setup/combo.[3] 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 to maintain his offensive approaches with amazing fluidity.
