Pr1nc3 (also known as T3kn0path1c) is an ARMS player and tournament organizer from the United States who plays Dr. Coyle and Springtron. He has been active in the game's competitive scene since 2020, becoming a prominent high-placing player in 2021. Pr1nc3 is considered one of the best players among the new generation of players who joined the ARMS scene in, and after, 2020. Alongside SNG, he runs The Sparring Stadium series.
Pr1nc3 first discovered the game in 2017 and bought it on Version 2.0.0. He played the game often, but had no knowledge of the competitive scene and laid the game dormant for about 3 years. In January of 2020, he started playing the game again and when an ARMS fighter was revealed for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate he took that opportunity to dive deep into the competitive community for the then-upcoming ARMS North American Online Open. After about a month of playing with his original main, Lola Pop, he started to play Dr. Coyle and fell in love with her playstyle and gimmicks. Later that year, he was was recruited onto the now-defunct team Polaris, although this was short lived. In December of 2020, he then moved to another team, Fruit Punch, which he departed when the team disbanded in late 2021.
Playstyle
Pr1nc3 is very versatile, being able to swap playstyles on the fly as well as being proficient with a wide array of ARMS' cast. As Dr. Coyle, he makes use of her overall evasive movement as well as her invisibility and advantage state. With Springtron, he plays a more defensive midline role and tends to use his EMP state as a time to be aggressive and play off his strong suits. In addition to his two mains, Pr1nc3 also plays Lola Pop, Min Min, and Mechanica.
