Rula is a Falco main from South Florida with a very agresive play style that can at times lead to cocky SDs and dropped combos but, for the most part is very effective in overcoming his opponents. He's known as EbAgItachi on the smashboards.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Rula first joined competitive smash around 2011. He was an avid FPS gamer but, as Halo 2 servers were having less and less players on them, he found himself wanting to get into a diffrent aspect of competitive gaming. Soon he watched the infamous match between Mew2King and Shizwiz during Revival of Melee and seeing the speed and tech skill attracted him more than ever into the Melee scene.

While as of late he has been traveling some he is probably most known for his match against Koopa895 at EVO 2014 (video). A very hype set which ended up with Rula getting sent to losers in his pool. Later on the two would meet in Loser's Semi's of their pool and Rula would convincingly take a 2-0 win which helped him get out of his pool at EVO and eventually claim 97th place at the world's largest Melee tournament.
