He scored no notable accomplishments in Melee, but became well known once Brawl released due to his work ethic in discovering and understanding the mechanics and data of the game, and rapidly emerging as a contender. In Brawl he helped pioneer Marth's play, and also occasionally played Falco and Meta Knight. | ||
In addition to decent placements, Pierce contributed an large amount of research and data to Smashboards in the early stages of the game. More widely known for his knowledge than his skill, he was a member of the Brawl Backroom for a short period of time as the Community Relations Manager, and served as a referee for MLG during Brawl's time on the 2010 circuit. Pierce is also noted for being a coach of great renown. In 2009 and 2010 he coached a number of players in sets they were not expected to have otherwise won, and it stirred a large controversy and debate, eventually resulting in coaching being banned from tournaments. He stepped down from the competitive scene in 2011 after scoring a Bronze at Brainshock Beta. After this, he remained involved in the Smash Community primarily as a commentator for tournaments. | In addition to decent placements, Pierce contributed an large amount of research and data to Smashboards in the early stages of the game.
