== History ==
== Community Contributions ==
Being a big "retro" gamer, t1mmy never bothered to get an N64 since most of the games didn't interest him.  It wasn't until Super Smash Bros. was released that he played N64 regularly, to say the least.  His primary character was Kirby since that is his favorite Nintendo character, with Kirby Super Star being one of his favorite games.


t1mmy took a break from compulsive gaming and started practicing traditional Kobudou (Okinawan weapons) and Pan Gai Noon Ryu (Okinawan karate). Although he played Smash Bros. Melee when it was released, he was very much into learning martial arts most of the time.  After about five years of training, he moved to Oregon where a series of events not only got him back into Smash, but onto a competitive level.
=== Smashboards & AllisBrawl ===
On Smashboards, t1mmy compiled and published [http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=62115 The Competitive Kirby] - a guide for playing Kirby in ''Melee''. This was one of his earliest direct contributions to the SmashBoards community. His next publication Kirby & The Amazing Guide was a guide written for playing Kirby in ''Brawl'' published both on AllisBrawl and Smashboards.  Upon the release of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (JPN), t1mmy released another guide and has maintained it through the Wii U launch [http://smashboards.com/threads/ssb4-kirbys-epic-guide-ver-2-1.367840/ Kirby's Epic Guide].


== History (Melee) ==
=== Tournament Organizer History ===
The first of these events was a Game Crazy tournament running scrubby rules (4-player free-for-all, items on).  Sticking with his favorite character, Kirby, he made it to the finals where a Fox and Falco were teaming up to secure a victory and t1mmy found himself facing a 2-on-1 battle against the two Top Tiers.  Not knowing any advanced techniques, he managed to secure a win by out-maneuvering and out-thinking his opponents on Mute City.  He carries the same philosophies through to his now-advanced gameplay - reading his opponents' movements and using efficient maneuvers.
With help from his brother, t1mmy has been running tournaments in Oregon since about 2005 with Melee.  Size of tournaments range from weekly local sized events to larger Regionals.  The largest state tournaments to date include SF:E 2007 and the Oregon Mega Games (OMG).


From his years of martial arts training, t1mmy knew that winners often let their accomplishments go to their heads and would learn less than the losers.  Putting his victory behind him, he sought better opponents and looked for tournaments online and found them on Smashboards, the closest one being a 2-hour drive north to Portland. This was [[TANG]] 9.0, hosted by [[Aftermath]]. The turnout was small (about 8 entrants) but was the spark that lit a wild fire of tournaments you see in Oregon today.
t1mmy and t0mmy are currently running and participating in weekly tournaments in Oregon's premiere gaming lounge: [http://www.shoryukenleague.com Shoryuken League]. Larger events are held throughout the year.


Now armed with advanced techniques, t1mmy and t0mmy's interest in SSBM brought back [[DMStudios]] who had fallen out of the tournament loop and who happened to be living in Eugene at the time.  With his teammate [[~Shin_Ganondorf~]], the Eugene smash scene started growing larger.

To get more people interested in the game, t1mmy and t0mmy started hosting smashfests and tournaments.  Eugene became a half-way point for N. Oregon and S. Oregon to meet and get a chance to play each other without having to drive 4 hours each way.  SF:E was held each month for about a year, until Jan. 2007.  After that, the smash scene in Oregon grew large enough that tournaments began vying for open weekends within the community. Because of this, t1mmy started up weeklies at Big City Gamin', a local game store, and SF:E moved to Seasonal tournaments (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall).

When Brawl was first announced as a playable demo at [http://www.eforallexpo.com/ E4All] (October 18-21, 2007) both t1mmy and t0mmy immediately reserved their tickets. This would be the first of many trips down to California to attend Brawl tournaments.  Held at the L.A. Convention Center, Nintendo's booth included eight televisions exclusively for Brawl. While Kirby was unavailable on the demo, t1mmy immediately picked up Meta Knight with natural flair and was the first to write a hands-on article on the character, published on Smashboards.

It was also at this event that t1mmy took 2nd place at the Play n' Trade Melee tournament. The brackets included some of the finest Melee players of the time and region including Isai, King, and Zelgadis (Mango was also in attendance, but this was right before he broke into the scene as a top player). Making his way through the brackets with a bottom-tier character, t1mmy made it to Grand Finals against DSF using Kirby proving hard work and determination is the only way to become a top player.

It was not too long thereafter that Nintendo held another pre-release event for Brawl.  This event was held Feb. 23, 2008 in San Fransisco, CA.  Here t1mmy competed in a 250-man bracket and made it into the top 8 finishers with his Kirby.

t1mmy is best known as one of the most knowledgeable, active Kirby players in the Smash community and was a long-time moderator of the NintendoDojo site. His identical twin brother t0mmy is well-known for his R.O.B. and Pichu. Together, they make up the Super Smash Twins. He was a moderator at the Kirby Smash 4 Discord server

The two twins have been the driving force in building up the Oregon Smash scene and continue to be the main contributors toward the competitive scene from Melee through Brawl and beyond. They primarily play in the West Coast meeting up with smashers from Canada down to California, though they have traveled all over the U.S. and played with smashers from all over.

Community Contributions[edit]

Smashboards & AllisBrawl[edit]

On Smashboards, t1mmy compiled and published The Competitive Kirby - a guide for playing Kirby in Melee. This was one of his earliest direct contributions to the SmashBoards community. His next publication Kirby & The Amazing Guide was a guide written for playing Kirby in Brawl published both on AllisBrawl and Smashboards. Upon the release of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (JPN), t1mmy released another guide and has maintained it through the Wii U launch Kirby's Epic Guide.

Tournament Organizer History[edit]

With help from his brother, t1mmy has been running tournaments in Oregon since about 2005 with Melee. Size of tournaments range from weekly local sized events to larger Regionals. The largest state tournaments to date include SF:E 2007 and the Oregon Mega Games (OMG).
