Player Profile #2 Dre

Player Name: Drephen
Character(s): Sheik, Marth
First Tournament: [Unknown, has been playing since v2.5]

Description: Home grown in Columbus, Ohio, Drephen is perhaps infamous away from the area for his play-style in Melee. This, of course carries over to his Project M Sheik, but perhaps not enough attention is paid to the pure reaction sense and situational knowledge that this player has. Rarely placing himself in bad spots in spite of being often irritatingly close, Drephen boasts quick and brutal punishes that quickly send foes flying offstage.

Notable Results or Average Placings: Drephen is often seen just below Hanky Panky in results lists, but has won tournaments on his own when the oppressive Peach is not in attendance. Drephen is accepted firmly as the second best player in Columbus or Ohio, period. His placings have been sometimes sporadic outside of the state, but he has placed top-32 at Tipped Off 11 and is good generally for top-16 to top-8 placings in the greater Midwest area.

To date, he has wins on Anther, Boss, eyeheartlovetap, Lordy

Current Conflicts: Hanky Panky is the main source of woe for Drephen, much like everyone else in the area. Aside from that major demon, Drephen is like many other Super Smash Bros. Melee players who play Project M on the side: Sometimes a victim to the options that the revamped or new Project M cast members can offer when he travels.
