Fifty-Nine Fitty or "5950" is a young Sheik player from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and is a member of Teh Fair and the CCSC community, 5950 gained notoriety along with partner and close friend R.L.Prodigy as one of the youngest competitive smashers in Canada. 5950 relies heavily on the use of Sheik's needles as a way to approach, edgeguard, and on occasion, combo.
[edit] Background
5950 only began playing smash competitively in late 2006 and did not purchase the game until early 2007. 5950's first competitive experience was at the first CAST where he participated along side many other enthusiastic and amateur smashers in his city. It was then, did he became aware of the competitive nature of the game. 5950, though lacking technical game play, was young and showed limitless promise and was recruited by the Red Deer crew Teh Fair after the CAST among the few Red Deer smashers who embraced the embarrassment and loses of CAST and continued with their competitive smash career. 5950 learned the many advanced techniques shortly after, picking up wavedashing perfectly almost instantly without the need for practice.
[edit] Tournament Activity
Throughout his time in the competitive scene, 5950 continued to participate at the local Central Alberta Smash Tournaments until the winter of 2007, where he attended his first out of town tournament, At Melee's End - Pro Impact CCSC Championship among his fellow crew mates PALO DA SUFFOCATER, Depressed_Brian, Janitor, K Lover and R.L. Prodigy. During his time there, he proved to be a force to be reckoned with, although placing 6th place out of the 6 in his pool, 5950 earned 17th place in singles, losing to MikeMonkey and Blunted_Object10 later in the losers bracket. Along with team partner R.L.Prodigy, 5950 earned 13th place in doubles.
[edit] Trivia
- 5950 is noted to be a very calm smasher regardless of the pressures of the tournament environment, and instead, usually pressures the opponent instead due to his young age.
