Duck is a Super Smash Bros. Melee Sheik player from Ann Arbor, Michigan, who is currently residing in London, Ontario. Originally a Samus main, he is best known for and found the most success with the character, being considered one of the greatest Samus players of all time, alongside Plup and HugS, and the best solo-Samus player in the world while he was active. Duck was ranked on every iteration of the SSBMRank/MPGR until 2019, peaking at 14th in 2018, and tied HugS as the closest a Samus has come to winning a major, placing 2nd at Full Bloom 3.

Duck entered a competitive hiatus following Mango's Birthday Bash in December 2019. He briefly returned in 2022, entering just three events throughout the year. He has since continued to be inactive from competitive play.
