Rickety (born April 2, 1987) is an American smasher, currently living in San Diego, California. His main character since his debut into the tournament scene has been Marth in singles and Sheik in doubles, as well as Dr. Mario as an alternate. Rick is considered one of friendliest players in San Diego, always trying to help newcomers to the game to help them avoid what he experienced when he first began playing. Aside from his personal achievements, Rick is a member of Peace and Love, a high-ranking San Diego doubles team, as well as the founding member of Team Harmony.
Biography
Rick has been playing Super Smash Bros. ever since it debuted on the Nintendo 64. Like most players, however, he did not discover many of the advanced tactics until stumbling onto Smashboards in late 2003. Rick, who has always been an avid fan of the fighting game genre, was enthralled upon learning of all the advanced techniques, and was eager to learn them all. However, when he discovered that there was no tournament scene in San Diego at the time, and even finding players to play with became a challenge, he decided to stop playing the game and instead become active in the Street Fighter and Capcom vs SNK games, which already had a prolific and well-established scene in San Diego. Because of this, Rick would not play smash again until the latter half of 2005, when he met with CAOTIC and Edrees, two very good and well-respected Peach players. When Caotic began running the San Diego Triweeklies.

- Due to his flowery nature, bubbly personality, love of the Beatles, and vegan lifestyle, Rickety is often referred to as everything from a "Hippie" to "that one metro gay guy". Rick takes it as a compliment.
