![]() Suddenly, he became something of a Project M legend. While he didn't have a remarkable performance in Melee or Smash 64, Wizzrobe placed first in Project M, ahead of Mew2King and Hungrybox as well as several other noteworthy PM players at the time. So Wizzrobe set out to take down these stars of the Smash scene in a game he knew well. Hungrybox and Mew2King were also set to compete in Project M.

He continued practicing all three until he attended the tournament that would serve as a turning point in his career: Zenith 2013. It would be this game that would launch him into the spotlight. His third game, Project M, was an unofficial, fan-made Smash game with gameplay modifications better suited for competitive purposes. But gaining proficiency in just two games wasn't enough. He would continue to place well in both games around his local Florida scene. Wizzrobe had a competitive drive for Super Smash Bros, the first game in the Smash series, just as he did for Melee. It was just harder in the beginning," Wizzrobe said of his switch. "But even still, I had always wanted to main Falcon and have him be my best. He did slightly better with his Fox and went with him for the remainder of the tourney. After not having much success with Falcon for his first match, however, he did what all great Melee players do: switch to Fox. Having a penchant for the F-Zero series as well as the many combos Falcon could pull off, Wizzrobe had a strong desire to make him his main character. Wizzrobe's first tournament also allowed him to experiment with a character named Captain Falcon. I beat a couple people and attracted a crowd where people were shocked a young kid at his first tourney could do things like waveshine across the stage" Wizzrobe reflected on his first competitive experience, saying "I did pretty well.
