'''Marc''' is a [[Peach]] main from Den Haag, The Netherlands. He has been going to tournaments since the first tournament held in the Netherlands, [[Dutch Tournament]] 1 (November 11th, 2002). He is one of the last two smashers who are still active since that day, the other one being his training partner and Avalon co-host [[Remen]]. Overall he is one of the most important, valuable and most respected members of the Dutch community. Marc is currently ranked 8th on the [[Dutch Power Rankings|Dutch Melee Power Rankings]].


==History==
As one of the earliest and most influential members of the Dutch and European ''Smash'' scene, Marc has done a lot of work to improve competitive play in these regions, including pushing for turning items off, which happened for the first time at [[DT9]], pushing for banning disruptive and other nonviable stages, helping to start the [[Dutch Power Rankings]], organizing the creation of the [[PAL tier list]], and together with Remen hosting various tournaments such as HK 1-8 and Avalon I-III, which saw attendance from such players as {{Sm|Armada}}, {{Sm|Ice}} and {{Sm|Leffen}}. Before this he was involved with the SmashNL hosting staff and a co-host at several large events. Overall he is seen as one of the most important and most respected members of the Dutch ''Smash'' community.


Marc used [[Ganondorf]] when he went to [[DT1]], but he switched to [[Falco]] after that. He used this character for a little over a year. Marc's tournaments results varied a lot in this time and he was looking for a new [[main]]. He made the switch to [[Sheik]] at [[LT3]] (November 22th, 2003), who he solo mained for several years. At some point he picked up Peach as a secondary and started using her more to the point where he only considers using Sheik for Captain Falcon now.  
Marc has been one of the better Dutch players for a long time now. One of his more impressive showings occurred at [[DT8]], where he beat reigning champion {{sm|The_Doug}} twice, who is an American living in the UK at the time. In the past 3 years, he has never fallen short of single digit placings at European events. He continued this trend in several US tournaments, the one exception being APEX 2014, where he got 49th. Marc is currently ranked 8th on the [[Dutch Power Rankings|Dutch ''Melee'' Power Rankings]].

==Influence on the smash scene==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
 
Marc has done a lot of work to improve the Dutch and European smash scene, these are the most important things/discussions that he's been in or started.
 
* '''Turning items off''': It's pretty obvious that [[items]] should be turned off nowadays, but this wasn't always the case. Marc, and some other people, have always tried to get items off in the Dutch Tournaments and they were turned off for the first time at [[DT9]].
 
* '''Stages''': It was common in the Dutch smash scene to have a lot of stages avalaible for counterpicking until 2006, and although stages like Flat Zone and Poke Floats can be great fun to play once in a while, they're not very tournament viable. Marc was the first person to really start the discussion to get them banned.
 
* '''[[Dutch Power Rankings]]''': Marc is one of the five panel members for the Dutch Power Rankings.
 
* '''[[PAL Tier List]]''': There has been a [[NTSC]] [[Tier List]] for years. Despite differences between the NTSC version and the PAL version and their respective communities, there was no official PAL tier list. Marc has organised the making of a PAL tier list, which was released in February 2007.
 
* '''Hosting Tournaments''': Together with Remen he has hosted HK 1-8 and Avalon I-III, which saw attendance from such players as Armada, Ice and Leffen. Before this he was involved with the SmashNL hosting staff and a co-host at several large events.

* There's a rivalry between two Dutch teams, "team beer/duvel/custard cakejes" consisting of Marc and [[Player Pink]], and "team amstel" consisting of [[Rens]] and [[Ivo]]. They'll often play teammatches while drinking beer to see who's the best at drinking beer and smashing at the same time. The last time they played was won by team beer/duvel/custard cakejes but team amstel is currently looking for revenge.

* His nickname when he entered the community at the age of fourteen was '''Perfect Vegetto''', because he likes Dragonball Z. Today, referring to Marc as Perfect Vegetto has become somewhat of an inside joke, and the name was nominated for 'worst nickname' at the Dutch Smash Awards (eventually losing to [[Z-N_Freak]]).

Marc, once briefly known as Perfect Vegetto, is a Peach main and former Sheik, Falco, and Ganondorf main from Den Haag, The Netherlands. He has been going to tournaments since the first tournament held in the Netherlands, Dutch Tournament 1 (November 2nd, 2002). He is one of the last two smashers who are still active since that day, the other one being his training partner and Avalon co-host Remen.

As one of the earliest and most influential members of the Dutch and European Smash scene, Marc has done a lot of work to improve competitive play in these regions, including pushing for turning items off, which happened for the first time at DT9, pushing for banning disruptive and other nonviable stages, helping to start the Dutch Power Rankings, organizing the creation of the PAL tier list, and together with Remen hosting various tournaments such as HK 1-8 and Avalon I-III, which saw attendance from such players as Armada, Ice and Leffen. Before this he was involved with the SmashNL hosting staff and a co-host at several large events. Overall he is seen as one of the most important and most respected members of the Dutch Smash community.

Marc has been one of the better Dutch players for a long time now. One of his more impressive showings occurred at DT8, where he beat reigning champion The_Doug twice, who is an American living in the UK at the time. In the past 3 years, he has never fallen short of single digit placings at European events. He continued this trend in several US tournaments, the one exception being APEX 2014, where he got 49th. Marc is currently ranked 8th on the Dutch Melee Power Rankings.
