He was ranked 6th on the final West Michigan Smash 4 Power Rankings. Before Bayonettas release, he solo mained Luigi before retiring the character for Bayonetta citing it was due to his exploitable recovery, especially as DLC released. He was known for a very unorthodox Luigi that often used fireball as a pressure tool on shield to run up and shield break with super jump punch, as well as utilizing fireballs as a way to safely make it back from ledge. | ||
Merrick solo mained {{SSBB|Snake}} throughout Brawls tournament life in the West Michigan scene since its release. Notably Merrick took a game off {{Sm|Ally}} at "Oh, Did I Win? 2", but losing 1-2 in the ditto. He also went to close sets against Chia at The Big House 10 and being forced to use Meta Knight for the first time in tournament. Since he was thirteen years there was some controversy over Merricks style of play with Snake in his region, with many going out of their way to harass him because he played it very safe and kept a barrage of projectiles constantly out to look for openings. Was not uncommon for him to have had a C4 planted, both hand grenades on the field or in his hand, a claymore, and a remote missile lingering all at once. Due to those reasons many found him very toxic to try to get in on, and opponents were often prone to timeouts. | Merrick solo mained {{SSBB|Snake}} throughout Brawls tournament life in the West Michigan scene since its release.
