Vermanubis is a professional smasher from New Hampshire and currently residing in Oregon, noted for being one of the few pure Ganondorf players in competitive Brawl, and is often considered the best Ganondorf player in the United States, along with DLA. He is known for playing a patient, yet aggressive Ganondorf, with what is considered to be some of the best prediction and perfect shielding skills. He is also known for being capable of utilizing the difficult Flight of Ganon and Flipman techniques in play.
In 2011, Vermanubis moved to Oregon, where due to the lack of tournaments and general isolation, his tournament activity in Smash has become mostly inactive. He still enters Brawl tournaments whenever he can though, and despite playing significantly less, he still manages to place well in them.
Vermanubis continues to play Ganondorf in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and remains a threat in his region. Despite seldom traveling outside of his state, he remains one of the best Ganondorf players in the United States, alongside GanonTheBeast.
