'''Poilon''' is a [[smasher]] from Paris, France who is famous in France for playing every character in the game at at high level.
'''Poilon''' is a [[smasher]] from Paris, currently living in Châlons-en-Champagne, France. He was mainly a {{SSBM|Falco}} main but was famous locally for playing every character in the game at a high level. He usually teamed in doubles with {{Sm|Inf'}}, with both of them playing {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}. Formerly a top ''Melee'' player, he is currently the owner and manager of {{Team|Poilon Software}}, an esports team part of his web development startup Poilon. He is also the brother of {{Sm|Charlon}}.


==History==
== History ==
Poilon started playing smash when it was released, but only began playing at an advanced level in 2003. He had high scores in 1-Player mode : over 91,900 feats in [[HRC]], under 3'18" in [[Target Test]]. His [[Event mode]] scores are good as well, especially for the [[Event 51]], which he beat with every characters. For two years, he played a lot in 1-Player mode, then started playing [[Versus mode]] more than he did, for he was only a decent player, even though he was already able to play with every character. His level increased dramatically in late 2005, as he came in Paris to enter a Computer Science School : he was able to play against {{sm|Joanna Dark}} quite often, and became one of the best French Falco players, beating {{sm|Joanna Dark}} during FFT2 to claim fourth place, two monthes after he began training with Joanna Dark. He remained in the top 5 French smashers since this day, but often changed his main. After {{SSBM|Falco}}, he became the best {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} player in France. He then mained various characters, each one of them for a few months : Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon. He also trained his Jigglypuff, Marth and Sheik as secondaries. He currently uses Fox, Marth, Sheik, Captain Falcon, DK and Falco in singles tournaments.

He remained in the top 5 French smashers since this day, but often changed his main. After [[Falco]], he became the best [[Captain Falcon]] player in France. Then he mained [[Fox]] and trained with the [[Ice Climbers]], getting better than any other French player with both of these characters. Recently, he said he wanted to improve his [[Sheik]]. His main weakness might be a lack of experience against very good non-French European players.
Poilon is also the main host of the {{Trn|Epita Smash Arena}} series, which were 2 of the biggest tournaments in Europe - and the second biggest in the world for Epita Smash Arena 2. While the first tournament was a organization success but lacked many foreign attendants, ESA2 managed to gather 231 smashers from more than 15 different countries, but suffered from organization problems. Poilon wants to achieve both an excellent attendance and organization for ESA3.


Poilon has also organized in April 2007 the [[Epita Smash Arena]], one of the biggest [[tournament]] ever in Europe. Despite the high number of players attending to the tournament, the organization was considered as almost perfect and many players, such as [[Nihonjin]] or [[Joanna Dark]] acknowledged that it was the first [[tournament]] in Europe which could "rivals with amrican ones".
During the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19 pandemic]], Poilon hosted the online {{Trn|Poilon Arena}} series, which consisted of four qualifying tournaments in October and November 2020 and a championship in May 2021.


Since the 8th of November, 2007, he's also the president of [[SSBUP]].
