Steeler was a dedicated Pokémon Trainer main in the Midwest region. He was once considered to be one of the best Pokémon Trainer mains in the Midwest and Southwest. Steeler was very active in the Pokémon Trainer community and was at one time in charge of matchup discussions. He placed fairly high in Kansas tournaments and retired after placing 33rd at MLG Dallas 2010.
Steeler eventually returned to the scene starting with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He was formerly ranked as high as 2nd on the Wichita Smash 4 Power Rankings and 11th on the Kansas Smash 4 Power Rankings, and also has wins over players such as Mr. Doom, exJORDANary, and CrazyColorz5.
Playstyle
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
He personally preferred to use Squirtle and Charizard through out his matches, using Ivysaur more sparingly due to the Pokémon's sub-par tether recovery. Squirtle was by far his best Pokémon, being a very powerful force against most opponents; his Charizard was capable of doing very well against tougher characters such as Meta Knight. He had been known to use Ivysaur for specific matchups but generally avoided the character.
