Tafokints is a Sheik main from Cupertino, California currently residing in Los Angeles. He is currently ranked 15th on the SoCal Melee Power Rankings. He became a member of Melee It On Me in 2013. Tafokints fought Tian in a first-to-5 $1,000 money match at Apex 2014's "Salty Suite," and ended up winning 5-1.
Tafokints started as a Ness main, but quickly switched to Sheik after watching some Captain Jack and Isai videos. While attending UCLA, he trained with players such as Aesis and s2j to get better. In 2011, he started hosting the Campbell local tournament series in NorCal.
In 2014, Tafokints started "SSBMRank", a project inspired by ESPN.com's annual "NBARank" project, ranking active melee players based on their overall performance in the year. Shortly after, Tafokints joined the Melee It On Me team as a content-creator. He is well-known for his event previews, often-failed "Tafo-predictions", and general guides. At Apex 2015, #Tafostats premiered on the VGbootcamp stream, featuring head-to-head stats from many of the top players.
In recent months, Tafokints has aimed to improve the MeleeItOnMe channel with "Tafo Talks", which covers current events, player content, and historical analysis.
