He has defeated players such as {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Mr E}}, {{Sm|Meme}}, {{Sm|Joker}}, {{Sm|Chag}}, {{Sm|Wonf}}, and {{Sm|Nanon}}. He is currently ranked 2nd on [[Costa Rican Power Rankings]] and is considered the best player in Central America.
'''Yei''' (pronounced "Jay") is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' player from Costa Rica, known for having a diverse roster and has formerly played primarily {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}. He is considered one of the best players from Central America and was the definitive best up until mid-2022. He has defeated players such as {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Mr E}}, {{Sm|Meme}}, {{Sm|Joker}}, {{Sm|Chag}}, {{Sm|Cloudy}}, {{Sm|Javi}}, and {{Sm|Skyjay}}. He is currently ranked 2nd on [[Costa Rican Power Rankings]], 85th on [[UltRank 2022]], as well as being an honorable mention on the [[OrionRank 2022]].


In {{forwiiu}}, Yei was known to have mastery over multiple characters, but mainly plays {{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Marth}}. His breakout tournament was at {{Trn|Smash Factor 7}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Rox}} and {{Sm|Cloudy}} before losing to {{Sm|ANTi}} in a close game 5 set, placing 9th.

Yei joined the Costa Rican organization OG Esports (not to be confused with the famous Danish organization {{Team|OG}}) on July 9th, 2019<ref>[https://twitter.com/OGEsportsGG/status/1169801031657693185 Denle una cálida bienvenida a nuestro nuevo jugador Jason 'Yei' Valverde Mora]</ref>. The organization eventually merged with the American team {{Team|Fatal Ambition}} in early 2021 and Yei was kept in the roster. However, the organization became inactive in early 2022 and Yei removed Fatal Ambition's tags from his socials since then.
 
Starting January 21st, 2023, Yei was banned from attending tournaments in Costa Rica for a year due to alleged poor behavior.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Smash_CostaRica/status/1616933725094248449|title=Yei's Costa Rican ban}}</ref>


==Playstyle==
==Playstyle==
Yei is a versatile player, able to switch playstyles quickly when necessary. His most consistent approach, however, is to maintain an aggrresive, yet calculated and patient neutral game. From his aggression, he will go for deep edgeguards, juggles, and early kills.
Yei is a versatile player, able to switch playstyles quickly when necessary. His most consistent approach, however, is to maintain an aggressive, yet calculated and patient neutral game. From his aggression, he will go for deep edgeguards, juggles, and early kills.


For Chrom, he emphasizes on strong spacing and ledgetrapping. For Meta Knight, he plays for combos, spacing, and quick edgeguarding, while also using Meta Knight’s jumps to make his landings difficult to punish.
For Palutena, he pairs a strong neutral and consistent punish game, and often uses Palutena's tools to go for quick kills or capitalize as much as he can. For Meta Knight, he plays for combos, spacing, and quick edgeguarding, while also using Meta Knight’s jumps to make his landings difficult to punish. He is highly proficient in Meta Knight's ladder combo, able to consistently ladder and finish off his opponents even at higher percents when the combo is DI-prone and much harder to complete.
