Steven Jenkins

Steven Jenkins is a retired SBWC and KOIM competitor from Brooklyn, Michigan. He is known for being the only ever Mewtwo player in both leagues. He is best known however for Smashing for Charity, a special event for Child's Play Charity hosted by Jenkins since 2011.

KOIM Career
Jenkins joined KOIM in 2002, in which he made an immediate impact by choosing Mewtwo as his character, a character known by many to be one of the worst in the game. However, Jenkins pulled off one of the biggest upsets in league history when he won in only his 4th start. That was the major highlight of his career though, as he only won one more time after that. Like many others, he left after the 2007 season to join the SBWC.

SBWC Career
Jenkins competed in the league's inaugural season in 2008. Like in KOIM, he was the only Mewtwo player on the roster. However, he struggled terribly, finishing 15th in points without a win.

In 2009, he joined Jason Marshall at Team Pokemon. However, Jenkins did not improve, finishing 15th again.

By 2010, Jenkins and Marshall had become good friends. Jenkins was hoping to improve, but only did so slightly. But all was not well at Team Pokemon, as a couple days before the Reno event, Marshall passed away from lung cancer. To say the least, Jenkins was shocked. He finished out the season in a career best 14th, but the grief was too much for him, and he retired soon after.

But he didn't grieve for long, as the next year, Jenkins started Smashing for Charity, a yearly event for Child's Play Charity, that was also dedicated to the memory of his good friend Jason Marshall.
