Justin McGrath, better known as Plup, is an American Super Smash Bros. player. He is considered among the best players in the world. Plup rose to prominence in 2015 after placing highly in several major tournaments.[1][2] In Melee he mains Sheik and has Samus and Fox McCloud secondaries. At EVO 2016 he had his best placing ever at a major and even sent eventual winner Hungrybox into the loser's bracket.[3] In terms of skill level he is often considered just below the "Five Gods" and William "Leffen" Hjelte.[4][5]
