-'''Recipherus''' is a retired {{SSBM|Sheik}} main from Los Angeles, California. He was a well-known Sheik professional in the early age of ''[[Melee]]'' and was considered to be {{Sm|Ken}}'s main competition in California at the time. He placed well in the [[Tournament Go]] series. He travelled across the US placing 2nd at the MOAST and 1st at Snexus 2 and won a, then [[list of largest prize payouts|record setting $8,000]] for 1st at [[IVGF Northwest Regionals]]. Since retiring from ''Smash'' he has played semi-competitive poker. He was mentioned in the ''[[The Smash Brothers]]'' documentary, but was not asked for an interview. In July 2015 Recipherus did an AMA on the Smash subreddit but indicated that he is not currently interested in returning to competitive Smash.
+'''Recipherus''' is a retired ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Sheik}} main from Los Angeles, [[California]]. He was well-known for briefly being considered ''Melee''{{'}}s best player in the game's competitive beginnings before {{Sm|Ken}} emerged, back when {{SSBM|tournament rulesets}} still had [[item]]s on and had [[stage legality|most stages legal]], while he would remain Ken's strongest competition in the pre-[[MLG]] era after Ken started competing. He consistently placed top 3 at all tournaments he entered during this time, while also travelling across the US to compete, where he placed 2nd at {{Trn|MOAST}} and 1st at {{Trn|Snexus 2}}, and additionally won a then-record-setting $8,000 for 1st at [[IVGF Northwest Regionals]] (a record he would hold until {{Sm|PC Chris}} earned $10,000 for winning {{Trn|MLG Las Vegas 2006}} over three years later). His dominance in this time period would retroactively get him ranked 2nd by [[RetroSSBMRank]] for their 2001-2003 ranking, being only outranked by Ken.
-==Results==
+In 2004 when the MLG era kicked off, Recipherus would attend the final Tournament Go and ''Melee''{{'}}s first supermajor, {{Trn|Tournament Go 6}}, but he would have by far his worst performance yet when he placed 17th. After this he would quietly retire and never compete in a ''Melee'' tournament again, as he found it too difficult to keep up with the rising level of competition while having increasingly less time to practice and attend tournaments himself.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3bgm4t/hey_smashers_this_is_jeremy_but_you_guys_probably/csm4uwn/</ref> He would make a reappearance in ''[[Brawl]]'' shortly after the game released, but this return was very brief, as after entering only a couple tournaments, he would disappear from the ''Smash'' community again. He was mentioned in the ''[[The Smash Brothers]]'' documentary, but was not asked for an interview, despite Recipherus later stating he would have been opened to an interview.<ref>https://smashboards.com/threads/the-smash-brothers-series-discussion.341152/page-2#post-15902006</ref> In June 2015, Recipherus did an AMA on the ''Smash'' [[subreddit]], r/Smashbros, but indicated that he was not interested in returning to competitive Smash, and that remains Recipherus' last known involvement with the ''Smash'' community.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/3bgm4t/hey_smashers_this_is_jeremy_but_you_guys_probably/|title=Recipherus's Reddit AMA}}</ref>

+==Trivia==
+*Recipherus was infamous for always wearing gloves inbetween sets at tournaments.

+*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE2ArM8LuJY Tournament Go 4 Grand Finals - Ken (Marth) vs. Recipherus (Sheik}] - The only known recorded tournament match in ''Melee'' of Recipherus that is online, with Ken commentating the final game of their grand finals set at {{Trn|Tournament Go 4}}. Tournament Go matches were known to be recorded and sold in DVDs by {{Sm|Matt Deezie}}, so it's possible Recipherus had more matches recorded, but most of the contents from these DVDs have not been uploaded online and so are currently considered {{iw|wikipedia|lost media}}.
