=About= Radixerus is a combination of two Latin words meaning Radix - radish or turnip and erus - keeper or owner. They can also be interpreted as Truth & master. Take it however you wish.

My real name is Stefan, I'm a long-time serious smasher in Eugene, Oregon. I'm 21 Years old and the father of a delightful 15-month-old son. I play smash with my friends several times a week and am constantly trying to improve my game.

I am one of the two proprietors of the Rocksteady Smash Crew. A semi-competitive group of smashers in Eugene.

Smash History
I was going on 12 years old when Super Smash Bros. was released for the Nintendo 64. I rented that game probably 6 times consecutively and then again at least 4 more times before I owned my own copy.

13 years old, Super Smash Bros. Melee is released for the Nintendo Gamecube and I, being a smash bros. adept am suffering over the lack of a GC. A close friend brings his over and I spend the next 14 hours experiencing the magic of superior creation. I immediately fall in love and continue playing whenever the opportunity presents itself.

December, 2002 - I am introduced through a friend to a Melee player, one who goes among those that know him as "the Godfather". He does me the honor of completely shattering my ego in a 1 vs. 1 match, but also unceremoniously adopts me into his Crew of finer smash players. Our crew conducts daily tournaments during lunch at our High school. It's not long before I own my own GC and a copy of SSBM and I continued to improve as the Godfather's (now known as Mik) apprentice.

March 1st, 2008 - The first Annual Rocksteady Smash-fest. Mik and I officially establish the Rocksteady Smash Crew out of the same players that have been with us since the beginning. The 1 vs. 1 tournament ends as Everyone predicted, Mik and I facing off at FD. Mik wins the set and Recieves the prize, a Golden Controller hand painted by his rival (yours truly).

-On a side note, I really wanted that controller for myself.-

March 9th, 2008 - After waiting in line in front of a Gamestop for at least three hours I take my copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl home. Unfortunately, I have to get up at 4 am the next day to catch a plane for a business trip to Washington D.C.. I spend the next 5 days alone in my hotel room practicing and adapting to what I believed was the future of Smash.

It wasn't long at all before my friends and I agreed that Brawl was not what we were hoping for and reverted our game back to Melee. We continue to conduct our Rocksteady Smash-fests and play almost daily.

Another of my favorite games is World of Warcraft. When I'm not playing with my son, or playing smash it's probably WoW.
