---​

Competing in Smash with two hands can be difficult as it is, but how about playing with just one? This is the reality of ToeZ, a Smasher from Ontario, Canada. Due to a difficult labor and medical malpractice, his left shoulder broke during birth. After a life-saving operation, he was diagnosed with Erb's Palsy. He has not let this stop him; as his tag suggests, he uses his left toe to play games and compete in Smash. We tracked him down to learn about his amazing story.: Why don't you introduce yourself to the readers?: So explain to the folks reading, how exactly do you play?: How long did it take before you became "fluent" in playing like this?: Your big start was in Smash 64, when did you start getting into the competitive side of Smash?: So since then, your experiences in the Smash community have remained positive in regards to your disability?: You said that TOs have been supportive. Do you travel for events, and if so what is your process for figuring out how you can play at an event?: Have you ever traveled outside of Canada? If so, how have the experiences been there?: So what are your current goals then for Smashing? I saw that you also enjoy speedrunning, are you going for any records?That sounds awesome! What would you say is the best match you've played in Smash thus far?: So what would you tell any other disabled gamers reading if they wanted to try as you have to compete in Smash?To keep up with ToeZ and his impressive adventures in gaming, be sure to follow him on Twitter @ProToez and check out his stream on Twitch .
