Jean Marc first discovered ARMS upon its initial reveal on January 12th, 2017 during a [[Nintendo Switch]] presentation. After less than successful attempts to become a top player in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and Splatoon, Jean Marc decided that ARMS would be the game that he would be a top player in no matter what. After Kid Cobra's reveal in an ARMS focused [[Nintendo Direct]] on May 17th, 2017, he instantly knew that he was going to main him. Jean Marc later joined Team Chroma for ARMS, around a month after the game finally released. | Jean Marc first discovered ARMS upon its initial reveal on January 12th, 2017 during a [[Nintendo Switch]] presentation.

In early Fall of 2017, Jean Marc formed the crew "ARMS of the North" (abbreviated as AotN) which featured many notable Canadian ARMS players including [[Mileve]], [[Serp]], [[Gryffical]], [[Nobi]], 5IVE (now known as KensaKing), and AkAlouxo. The team's victories in crew battles were prolific, going 5-0 in crew battles, which is regarded as the best record any ARMS team or crew has had within crew battles. The team's players, including Jean Marc, often placed highly in the many online events occurring at the time, with the most notable series being [[Mega League Monday]]. In February of 2018, Jean Marc joined the Shrimp Squad (abbreviated as S.S.), a team under the command of [[Schkrimps]], and has been a member of this team ever since then. He also left Team Chroma around this time regardless of any controversies the team was handling at the time. Other than a crew battle in early 2020, S.S. has been dormant recently due to teams not being as important in the current climate of the ARMS community. | In early Fall of 2017, Jean Marc formed the crew "ARMS of the North" (abbreviated as AotN) which featured many notable Canadian ARMS players including Jimbo (now known as Plaer), [[Mileve]], [[Serp]], [[Gryffical]], [[Nobi]], 5IVE (now known as KensaKing), and AkAlouxo.

On January 13th, 2018, Jean Marc managed to place 2nd at [[G7 ARMS Online]], one of the largest online ARMS events ever at that time with entrant numbers going over 100. Later in the year, in March of 2018, Jean Marc qualified as an alternate for the [[ARMS US & Canada Online Open]], being available to participate in the bracket if one of the Top 8 competitors were unable to. Unfortunately for him, all players were able to play and he remained placed at 12th. Later that Spring, in May, Jean Marc teamed up with [[Para]] and Nobi to form a team for 3VT, a three person team-based tournament ran by Schkrimps, to which they placed 1st. On July 5th, 2018, he was able to hold his first stream on Twitch. Jean Marc primarily streamed ARMS, but on occasion would stream other games such as Splatoon 2, DOOM 2016, and Celeste. Since then, he hasn't been particularly active in terms of streaming, but in mid-2020 he began streaming more often once again. | On January 13th, 2018, Jean Marc managed to place 2nd at [[G7 ARMS Online]], one of the largest online ARMS events ever at that time with entrant numbers going over 100.

He | Despite not being able to attend any offline majors, Jean Marc has been able to showcase his ARMS excellence by placing high in numerous online tournaments. He placed 2nd at Ramen Bowl 4, an invitational featuring some of the best players at the time, as well as Fight Club: The Finale, the final Fight Club event and another invitational. In 2020, Jean Marc has also placed very well in numerous online majors including the [[ARMS North American Online Open (April 2020)|ARMS North American Online Open]], [[Quarantined Rapport]], and [[Polaris Punchout]]. These wins combined with his highly decorated history in past years prove that Jean Marc's goal of becoming a top ARMS player has been fulfilled. | ||

Near ARMS' release, Jean Marc utilized an [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]] loadout consisting of a [[Sparky]] and [[Thunderbird]] with the Sparky being switched out for a [[Roaster]] near [[Max Brass|Max Brass']] release in July 2017. He began playing with Kid Cobra's Default ARMS during this time as well in an attempt to master his fundamentals which led to him making more use of the [[Slamamander]]. In early November 2017, Jean Marc began using a set he calls "Roast-a-Mander"; using a Roaster on his left and a Slamamander on his right. He first caught glimpse of this set from a Japanese [[Ribbon Girl]] performing well against [[Pega]] during a Japan Grand Prix event. Jean Marc's usage of a [[glove|glove ARM]] and [[Whip|-mander ARM]] may have popularized the set in North America as it hadn't been highly utilized until his high placings using it was demonstrated. In December of 2017 he switched his Slamamander to a [[Slapamander]] due to balance changes as well as Nobi showing him how it was overall better at that time. This change lasted a little over a year as in early 2019, he swapped back to the Slamamander with it still remaining in his main loadout today. | Near ARMS' release, Jean Marc utilized an [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]] loadout consisting of a [[Sparky]] and [[Thunderbird]] with the Sparky being switched out for a [[Roaster]] near [[Max Brass|Max Brass']] release in July 2017.

He has used the [[Hydra]], [[Coolerang]], [[Megawatt]], [[Megaton]], [[Brrchuk]], [[Bubb]], [[Popper]], and currently utilizes the [[Chakram]]. His usage of the Brrchuk was mainly against strong [[Helix]] opponents such as [[GoreMagala]], who was among the best players in North America at the time. In March of 2018, Jean Marc even posted a perfect round against him which showcased how effective the loadout could be in the Helix match up.<ref>https://twitter.com/SirJeanMarc/status/969812356564791296</ref> | ||
