NinjaLink is a smasher from Brooklyn, New York. He is mostly known in Brawl for being considered one of the best Diddy Kong, R.O.B., and Pikachu players in the 2008-2010 era, and was the first player to ever defeat Mew2King's Meta Knight in a tournament, defeating him in winners bracket at XII.E.S.T.I.C.L.E.. using Diddy Kong. However, despite being known for using Diddy Kong, NinjaLink has expressed that he does not strictly main a single character in the game, having a wide variety of characters at his disposal that he has used in tournament at a high level.
As of present days, he is mostly known for using Greninja in Smash 4, and is widely known by other Greninja players for being a pioneer in the character's playstyle fundamentals, as well as being a "sensei", with top Greninja players such as Elexiao, iStudying and Venia going through him and becoming well known in the Smash 4 community under his knowledge. NinjaLink was also among the Greninja players to be voted in for going to 2GGC: Greninja Saga, and was featured as one of the judges in the event's combo contest. Like in Brawl, he has a wide variety of characters to his disposal that he uses at a high level, namely Mega Man and Bayonetta, the former of which he used to great success at Apex 2015, placing 13th at the tournament. NinjaLink was formerly ranked 13th on the Tristate Smash 4 Power Rankings.
In Project M, NinjaLink mains Link but, like in the other two games, he also uses a variety of other characters at a high level such as Diddy Kong. He has taken sets off of players such as ZeRo and Emukiller in tournament.
