Jump20X6, sometimes known as Jeremii, is an American smasher, tournament director and the youngest of the three brothers that founded the crew Famous Last Words. He currently attends Maryland University and is known for organizing the DC Super Smash tournaments and potentially the only successful FFA Melee tournament in the history of the SmashBoards community at his "No Purchase Necessary" event.

[edit] Background

Jump20X6 and his brothers picked up Super Smash Bros. for the N64 on the day it launched, and played regularly but was never introduced to the tournament scene or Smashboards.com during the N64 era. He generally played Kirby in this version of the game, being named by friends and family as the "king of cheap" for his habit of stealing kills in FFA matches. When Melee was released, his older brother M3D bought a copy and brought it home with him from college that summer. In the new game he picked up Captain Falcon and Sheik, but performed better in FFA matches with Captain Falcon and ended up focusing on that character.

Jump, much like the rest of his crew, was never a serious contender in tournament play. He finished in around 10-20th place in each of the 30-40 player events he attended, always using Captain Falcon as his main tournament character. He does not have any truly significant tournament wins, and has primarily focused on running tournaments since crewmate M3D moved away and left him in charge of the DC Super Smash series.

[edit] Tournament Director

Famous Last Words started the DCSS tournament series in the Washington DC area and after the unofficial group leader M3D moved to Indiana at the start of 2004, Jump20X6 took over hosting tournaments on behalf of the crew. He and crewmate B-Run successfully ran DCSS#3 in September of 2004 and then a year later he hosted No Purchase Necessary, a free tournament that included both singles and FFA tournaments. While an FFA tournament had never been held before by Smashboards tournament players, the event went off very well and the feedback from the players was positive. Unfortunately due to school and work concerns, Jump stopped organizing smash tournaments at this time and retired from competitive SSBM play.

[edit] Hiatus

Some time after dropping out of the competitive smash scene, Jump became more and more interested in Wi-Fi titles for the Nintendo DS. During this time he changed his handle from Falcon 20X6 to Jump20X6. This was due to his new affinity for the Jump Super Stars series DS games, which themselves are very similar to smash in gameplay. Eventually Jump found himself playing in online DS tournaments, and in time running them himself. He based his tournaments primarily out of the website Wi-Fi World, and started the push for an organized tournament system for that site. At beginning of the spring semester in 2007, Jump decided to take a hiatus from gaming in general, in order to focus more on his heavy college schedule.

[edit] Return to Competitive Gaming

With the release of Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Jump has once again become actively involved in the competitive gaming scene. M3D, having left Major League Gaming and recognizing a need for organized online competition within the Nintendo fanbase, founded the site Wifi Wars. Jump was a major contributer for the site, first as a staff writer then as lead editor and administrator. Unfortunately Wifi Wars lost its steam and was converted into the website Wifi Frontier. Jump left at this time, being hired by the All is Brawl content team.

[edit] Trivia

The number 20X6 (pronounced /twɛn.tiː.ɛks.tɪː.sɪks/) comes from a cartoon on Homestarrunner.com, where a Japanese cartoon version of StrongBad was called Stinko-Man 20X6.
