Daniel “SuPeRbOoMfAn” Hoyt won Smash 64 Singles at Boss Battle: Quarantine – East Coast Monthly #1 on April 25. He played Yoshi during all of his major sets in the tournament. Throughout the seven Super Smash Bros. sets he played, SuPeRbOoMfAn only dropped a single game.
SuPeRbOoMfAn’s run began with predictable wins against “GooseWithSocks,” “Grahamaglam,” and “B0xx.” In Winners Quarters, he defeated Patrick “Dogs_Johnson” Donaldson. With this win, he easily earned himself a spot in top 8 on winners side.
SuPeRbOoMfAn continued unopposed throughout top 8. He flawlessly overcame both Josh Brody and “HAMMERHEART.” SuPeRbOoMfAn rematched HAMMERHEART in Grand Finals, where he suffered his only game loss of the whole event. Still, he beat HAMMERHEART 3-1 to win Boss Battle: Quarantine – East Coast Monthly #1. Of course, SuPeRbOoMfAn’s victory was hardly surprising, given that he’s the best Smash 64 player in North America by far.
