== Player History ==
Outside of ''Smash'', Omnigamer is best known for his role in discovering [[wikipedia:Todd Rogers (video game player)|Todd Rogers]]' falsified world-record score in the Atari 2600 game ''[[wikipedia:Dragster (video game)|Dragster]]''.
Omnigamer has been playing smash competitively since the Summer of 2003. A resident of Ohio, he entered the smash scene just as many of the major changes started to occur. Around that time, [[Tournament Go]] 4 had finished, and {{sm|Ken}} first became recognized as one of the top players in America. This time period also marks the beginning of a solidified ruleset, in terms of items, stages, and stock/time limitations. Finding several other competitive players in his area, namely Pyrogamer and {{sm|Vidjogamer}}, they decided to form the [[GAMER Guild]] as a means to compete with another nearby crew, the CWRU Crew (members at the time included {{sm|SuperPichu}} and {{sm|Camper Bob}}).

Originally a [[Marth]] and [[Ganondorf]] player, Omnigamer used [[Kirby]] as a side character to use in low-tier and other low-stress matches. However, due to shrinking time and motivation to practice, he dropped both Marth and Ganon in favor of Kirby alone in early 2005. After taking on Kirby as his primary character, Omnigamer was one of the main forces behind the advancement of Kirby's general [[metagame]]. He wrote many articles detailing effective use of the [[Fence of Pain]], correct use of the [[Final Cutter]] for anti-edgegaurding purposes, various character strategies, shield-stun information for all of Kirby's attacks, [[Swallowcide]]-cancel escape frames, and many others. From this, Kirby went from having a virtually non-existent user base to a budding community of dedicated users. Omnigamer still sticks to using solely Kirby in modern tournaments.

Omnigamer also has produced a number of smash-related videos. His first production was RagnARok, an [[Action Replay]] video showing off many of the fun modes and options that could be played through it. His second production was a joint product with {{sm|SuperDoodleMan}}, called [[Perfect Control]]. SuperDoodleMan was the main creator of the video, but lost interest in the video due to the extremely tedious editing method that was used to produce the main clips for the video, and thus handed over what was left with the video to Omnigamer. The video itself shows off frame-perfect execution of various techniques and combos. Omnigamer's latest production, titled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCIyJU8MwgQ The Kirby Cheat], is the first ever Kirby combo video, and was received with both praise and criticism of the content.

Finally, Omnigamer became a moderator on Smashboards in the Summer of 2005, put primarily in charge of the Character Specific rooms. Since then, he has been given control of all rooms in the Video Discussion forum, the Tournaments Discussion room, and all rooms in the Regional forums. He retired from modding and general competitive play in mid 2008. However, he still has some presence in the SWF community.
