'''NJzFinest''' (also known as ''NJ'' or ''foxandfalco'') is a well-known [[smasher]] among the East Coast, Midwest, and the community at [[Smash World Forums]] for his video productions, hub conversations, and posts.  
'''NJzFinest''', also known as '''Shaman''' or '''FoxandFalco''', is a competitive [[smasher]] who is part of the East Coast and Midwest competitive communities. He's known for being very skilled with various low tiers despite starting as a Fox and Falco main. NJzfinest is also a veteran of [[Smashboards]] and one of the first Youtube content creaters for ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. He also is one of creators of the "Jersey Japes" tournament series and was ranked several times on the [[New Jersey Power Rankings]].


NJzFinest is a decently knowledgeable player with a sacrastic personality which is never to be taking too serious. He picked up both Super Smash Bros. (N64) and Super Smash Bros. Melee's competitive scene in November 2004 with the gamer tag "foxandfalco". He is currently training with [[CunningKitsune]](in Melee) and [[KSO]] (in N64) in hopes to improve his Fox skills in both games.

His first introduction to the competitive scene of Super Smash Bros. Melee was thanks to [[Mew2King]], one of the (if not the) world's best[[fox]] players, during the Fall of 2004. At the time, NJzFinest's name/tag was "foxandfalco" and the only advanced technique he was aware of was wavedashing. [[Mew2King]] introduced him to techniques such as L-Canceling and the Jump Canceled Shine.

At the time, NJzFinest's main was Falco while [[Mew2King]] used Marth, Luigi, and Falco. After getting into the competitive scene, NJzFinest began actively posting on SmashbBoards.com and the DC++ hub while attending local tournaments, never taking the game as serious as his fellow [[Mew2King]]. NJzFinest became well known on the boards and hub dude to his constant humor. He was basically that funny guy who flames noobs on smashboards and constantly makes jokes on the hub. People who usually backed up NJzFinest where players such as [[Dope]], [[UmbreonMow]], [[HugS]], [[PC Chris]], [[Mr.C]], [[Zarelid]] (Trevyn), [[NEO]], [[Isai]], and [[Wes]]. The most well known joke of his was with [[Meowkitty]] and [[BACH]] where they tricked the entire hub into thinking that Mew2king was arrested after attacking Dope at a tournament with a broken SmashBros. disc.

Also, NJzFinest made a series of videos of well known players which became popular, the most popular being the one based on Isai (Dont Get Hit!). On top of that, he's contributed character guides to the Fox, Falco, and Young Link forum on SmashBoards.com. Despite the fact he would never go to large tournaments after MLG PA, he was still decently known by many the top players because of his activities online. He showed the smash community that he had a good understanding of the game and is just plain chill.
 
It wasn't soon until NJzFinest "retired" and didn't pick the game up until mid 2006. During his "retirement", [[Mew2King]] grown into an amazing player and many players, including new faces such as [[Cactuar]], [[Dashizwiz]], [[Plainrkk]], etc., rose in skill. After this time period, NJzFinest attended Smashtality, hosted by [[Warrior of Zarona]]  (WoZ), placing 13th. Again, NJzFinest felt no motivation to keep playing competitively, and gave up smash to pick up the art of breakdancing (bboying). In the summer of 2007, NJzFinest meet up with smashers such as [[KSO]], [[CunningKitsune]], [[Ignatius ]], and [[Kirkq]] at Purdue University. Currently, he is attending the biweekly tournaments that [[KSO]] and [[CunningKitsune]] run, ''Super Smash Battle Opera'', and placing either 1st or 2nd at all of them (teams and doubles).
